| Posted: 23 Apr 2021 08:47 PM PDT for example, we see 10 of Spades, who is probably around 4 ft 10 with a speech impediment, and Ranger Ghost who has albinism, both are conditions that would disqualify them from most real world armies, yet these two serve in the NCR's special forces, is there anything in the lore that mentions the reason behind the NCR recruiting soldiers with a poor medical history?, if so is it because the NCR has accepted disabled people to the point of recruiting them to the military (like Israel does), or is it meant to show how desperate they are to send as many people they can into battle regardless if they meet the standards or not (like America did in Vietnam with "project 100,000")?

| In which Fallout Game is the time travel portal introduced and how exactly is it used?! Posted: 23 Apr 2021 05:20 AM PDT Hey guys, I'm searching for games that use portals in any imaginable way. Then I remembered, that there was this portal in Fallout 1 or 2, that allows you to travel through time. I think there was even a theory, that the mysterious stranger uses this portal. But most importanly: Was it Fallout 1 or Fallout 2? How was the place or the portal called? What are the portals specific use cases? [link] [comments] |
| Caesar's strategy, thesis and antithesis Posted: 23 Apr 2021 10:24 AM PDT I'm not sure if this kind of post is allowed (I mean it's not really a "who would win"). It was hinted a few times that the Legion is destined to fall, and dialogue with Lanius and Caesar reveals a bit of nuance on that. Basically I want to discuss Caesar's strategy, or rather, his tunnel vision. His obsession with Hoover Dam, the NCR and Vegas, and his plan, "thesis and antithesis". So my point is that his plan of "synthesis" is actually pretty interesting. It could work! It has worked, but not exactly as he thought. When Caesar started the Legion, brutality and "total war" was seen as a necessity, he wiped out the culture of tribes in Arizona and forged a massive cohort. They are all slaves, and all work towards military goals. They are little more than a band of raiders led by a cultured man, and his cultured inner circle, hand-picked from the survivors of his campaign. When he got to Hoover Dam, the Legion was powerful, and their strategies had been made by Caesar himself (or taken from the journals of Julius Caesar that he read). Against tribes the strategies almost never failed, but Caesar (Edward) was probably the best field commander the Legion had, as well as its leader. He could improvise, see through enemy strategies, and counter them. Joshua Graham could not. I think the First Battle of Hoover Dam was the only chance Caesar had of making his dream of "a civilized nation, with the Legion as its military" come true. He had the momentum, and his territory was still small enough to be manageable. Alas, he blew it. Had he led the attack, he might have seen through the trap at Boulder City and taken the Mojave, then stormed the NCR and implemented his rule. But he let Graham lead the assault, and the Legion lost a ridiculously high amount of manpower, and a lot of veterans. They were done. At this point, I think "synthesis" between the Legion and NCR was already an impossibility, but the sight of New Vegas, "his Rome", blinded him to that fact. He ordered his new legate Lanius (who admittedly seems much more flexible than Graham when it comes to strategy, and just as tough and cruel) to campaign in Colorado in order to replenish the forces. That was both his worst mistake and only option at this point, but the Legion expanded so far east, that it couldn't possibly expand to the west without losing their gains in Colorado. Caesar doesn't seem to care about that. He would rather have the west and make his dream come true. But that's the thing. Lanius and those involved in the Colorado campaign see the value of the east. It was a hard-fought campaign, and no one but Caesar really wanted to abandon it for the promise of maybe beating the NCR and achieving a higher level of civilization. I think if Caesar would look to the east and stay on his side of the Colorado, he could maybe salvage the situation and do his nation-building in Denver or Flagstaff. But he won't do that. So I think the best option, and only hope for the Legion's future, is to kill the man, and convince Lanius to go home. PS: When I say "thesis and antithesis" has worked before, I meant the nice things he acquired from conquered tribes. Like the Bitter Drink recipe from the Twin Mothers, the dog training from the Hangdogs, and such. I think he was hoping to get military organization and overall civilized citizens out of the planned California campaign. That's all I had to say so far, folks. [link] [comments] |
| Fallout is more than 50s music. Posted: 24 Apr 2021 02:16 AM PDT I know Fallout has traditionally been a homage to retro futuristic ideas from the 50s and that the timeline diverges from ours but there is more to Fallout than that. I think the spirit of Fallout comes from the retrospective look at American culture, not specifically the 50s. Hopefully Bethesda aren't afraid to place an emphasis on a different decade of music and culture with future titles – it would still feel like Fallout. Agree or disagree? P.S. If you are tired of this particular topic, simply move on. [link] [comments] |
| Do we know anything about Ranger Training? Posted: 23 Apr 2021 03:02 AM PDT Re-playing FNV and was talking to Comm Officer Stepinac about Ranger training, and talked about how intensive it was. Is there anymore lore regarding it? I'm wondering what training would be like for them [link] [comments] |
