| Do prospectors and scavs visit the Divide? Or is it just avoided by everyone no matter what Posted: 20 Apr 2021 02:04 PM PDT Title. I got this thought because the Divide, although being an irradiated hell hole, does contain some very powerful armour and weapons and even supplies in certain areas, such as Anti material rifles, energy weaponry, MREs and fancier stuff like Red Glare, and it doesn't seem too far away from the Mojave at all. Surely at least some experienced nutters would have went there and came back, or does everyone just stay clear of the Divide no matter what? We see NCR corpses in the collapsed overpass, so we know at least one major faction has poked into it. [link] [comments] |
| Is the importance of Project Purity overstated? Posted: 20 Apr 2021 05:43 AM PDT Often in Fallout 3 you hear how Project Purity is vital for the future of humanity etc. But it seems limited to the northeast area of the USA. Plenty of places in the fallout world have pure water, like the Mojave, anywhere round the Colorado, or Zion for example. It's safe to assume that much of the world has clean water. And it's not like the tech developed at Project Purity could be used all around the world either, as it needs a GECK to work. So is it just hyperbole from the writers? Edit: I'm not saying it's important, but saying it is for the future of humanity is a bit much when really they mean the future of the East Coast of the USA. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2021 01:50 PM PDT West Tek: Pan immunity and Cutting edge Laser tech research is taking place before the war. Pan Immunity is reclassified as FEV, then as a military projected. Days? A week? leading up to the bombs the military base housing FEV on the west coast goes dark. A day? before the bombs drop the Military base communicates out a message of succession/revolt. The bombs drop without any communication being recieved by the miltary base. Later we get Super Mutants and a Highly psionic Mutant. Skeleton(s) found at west tech's Pan Immunity and Laser research center appear to have commonality with https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_special_encounters?file=FO1AlienSaucer.png#Alien_Ship . --------- We have the psionic nullifier, created/developed possibly by the master, or U.S. Military projects. We the Whole Calbot affair, and associated lovecraftian elements. Sporadic psykers throught the series. -------- We know Ghouls are both a wide spread phenomena and but also tend towards being regionally or locally produced during the war with little rhyme. We Know FEV on the East and West coast both uniformly creates Super Mutants, despite some local alterations. On the West coast we can presume Human testing was underway and tweaks were made at the Base, on the East coast we know tracking elements were added to attract dogs. We know FEV can directly contribute to Psykers on the west coast, due to injections/experimentation from the Master's Scientists on injections. Both the Animation for the lone wander's super mutant dunk, and the ghoul's skin/flesh appear to have similar elements. Both share the Radiation immunity trait, which the super mutants get through ionized quad helix Dna. We know the Trigger for Ghoulification is Excessive Radiation poisoning, with most but not all being a direct result of the war. We know the process isn't standardized, and can vary presumably vary by region and individual, maybe even exposure method. Both Ghoulification and Super Mutant transformations have a high but not guaranteed chance of mind lose or damage. -------------------------- We know Children of the Atom function/sustain existence through a unique trait exposed to developed in response to radiation. Namely resistance, Immunity, possibly even absorption of radiation in some cases, even as far back as Lumpy in Gecko. It doesn't seem to be a trait inherent to the Children, but rather a common element that helps enable them to influence attract, and recruit others, or defend/protect themselves and their locations. Children of Atom also tend to boast unusually high vitality/Health, not unlike glowing one ghouls healing off radiation. We know the source of Pan Immunity research was the New Plague, but the origins of the New Plague remain ambiguous and Government misinformation compounds that. The Pan Immunity virus itself goes a bit beyond normal terrestial elements, as stripping and coating the DNA functionally that much redundancy AND ionic shielding is far out even by Fallout standards, let alone intelligently pruning DNA. It leaves us asking the Question, When and Why did the US decided Biological and Chemical agents were that dangerous if used by China, and what actions did they take? We know Pan Immunity project was fuel by both as a wartime project, and spurred on by the New Plague, but what if the New Plague itself was just research, testing and/or Manipulation. It fits with the Country/Company first, individual last narrative we find recorded on terminals throughout Fallout. We know to some extent combat power suits were sealed against such warfare, thought FEV's unusual corrosive qualities might break conventional seals. We know Vault Tech and the Enclave were in cahoots far back in Fallout's History, even if both were presumably expecting a backstab. One thing we know Vault Tech has mastery of is medical knowledge, a lot of it. Part of that is Genetics, just look at the Gecko and other examples of Vault Medical science. Lacking any other information, We can assume Vault Tech is just as if not more morally and ethically corrupt as any other known company in Fallout. We really have no reason to assume less of the Government, oddly we do time and time again see the Military as individuals expressed above normal levels of morality compared to anything else we find in fallout, with the Maripossa base as a crowning example. So the Question is, Is Pan-Immunity, FEV, New Plague, are they all terrestrial? A virus that overhauls human DNA structure and design, Imparts Green Skin, Cranial growth, Psionics, Radiation immunity, Long Life? Just how much of this random chance? We know a Chinese Submarine off the coast around the time the bombs dropped developed ghouls (almost entirely Feral) implying they were infected during patrol, transformed by the bombs, or otherwise had the same or similar predisposition or exposure that lead to ghouls on the mainland. Given the state of Fallouts Global situation a global infection seems unlikely, let alone on a submarine. We don't know the state of any international ghouls to my knowledge, but we supposedly do know of atleast 1 european immigrant who states things are similar there despite radically different US/European relations. We Know the Chinese has a strong spy presence in the US during Fallout, Any Vaccines they administered may well have been intercepted, copied and sent back to China. Let alone check the dates in Fallout to IRL. https://www.businessinsider.com/military-government-secret-experiments-biological-chemical-weapons-2016-9 dousing homeland communities in the 1950s was acceptable. So the Root of all of this is Where did New Plague come from, Is it something the US Military dug up ala Calbot, something they extracted from Crashed Aliens, or Homegrown Mad Science. What relationship do these plagues and viruses have to each other, and how might the differences between them have created common, similar, but distinct, abnormalities in the wastelands like Super Mutants, Ghouls, followers of Atom, and other psionic abnormalities. For a Bonus, what part of a alien crash investigation would have lead to Biological research, which part to robots, and which part to programing? Why are the Zetta aliens so focused on Giddy-Up-Buttercup, and other toylines from a company with US Military Ties? We know they've had a long history of abductions, though we don't know the relative history, perhaps they've only been investigating Fallout's earth for a year or two on their end, but over 600 on ours due to time travel. We do Know pre Bombs America was aware of, and had alien weapons in several sites, imply multiple crashes and reclaimations. Perhaps We did something with their tech through toy-lines that made them sit up and take notice, perhaps A.I. use in the Ponies. Perhaps West Tech received Technological and Biological samples as the basis for their research. [link] [comments] |
