| Why do so many Commonwealth scientists have vault-Tec lab coats? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 05:44 PM PDT Does anyone know why so many Commonwealth scientists like Doctor Amari and the Compound wear Vault-Tec lab coats? There's theories that the Compound and Covenant come from Vault 101 but that doesn't explain why Doctor Amari wears one. Is it just Bethesda being lazy or is there an actual reason?

| Posted: 05 Aug 2021 08:29 AM PDT In game we can see that pre-war corporations like RobCo, General Atomics or Nuka-Cola all had their own Local Area Networks set up in their various buildings to be accessed by their employees, to send each other information and to control security, intranets with their own email service set up basically. Thus, those networks were working just like IRL army networks did back in the 60's and 70's, except those are civilian. But do we have any evidence that there was anything more developed on this technology? Wired connections between university campuses? Maybe something not really unlike what the early internet was IRL? Another question I have, is: would GUI's be possible to have been developed upon the UOS that most computers seem to run, as IRL GEOS was developed for the Commodore 64, which seems to be quite on par hardware wise with what most desktop computers (and even the Pip-Boy 3000 Mk IV) have in Fallout. And if GUI's are possible, why don't they exist? [link] [comments] |
| What was frank horrigans “incident” Posted: 05 Aug 2021 07:32 PM PDT It's stated that frank was demoted from a secret service agent, to a simple field operative, do we know what caused / what was this incident? [link] [comments] |
| Any New Vegas references in Fallout 76? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 06:44 PM PDT Title. Thanks! EDIT: Some references regarding the Mojave in general knowing that the game took place years prior the events of New Vegas. [link] [comments] |
| Why is there a Railroad Insignia in Vault 81? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 03:23 PM PDT I'm not sure which sign exactly it is but there is a Railroad symbol on the entrance to Vault 81. Vault 81 doesn't seem to have any residents that are from the outside and they probably don't even know what the Railroad is. Does anyone know why its there? [link] [comments] |

| Razorgrain: Universial or just Northeastern? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 05:11 PM PDT Would razorgrain only exist in the Commonwealth, or would it be the universial grain in Post War America? [link] [comments] |
| We May Be Misunderstanding the Power Armor Posted: 05 Aug 2021 10:24 PM PDT Edit: Sorry I messed up the title. It should end with Power Amor Lore. I am sort of new to this sub reddit so I am not exactly familiar with any sort of possible conclusions on the subject. What I would like to present is are some facts of the lore. Then present a new way to interpret the description of the T51 power armor so that possibly we may have a transformed understanding. There may not be a contradiction. The key term in the description for the t51 I'm focusing on is pre-war. While we generally consider that term to refer to be synonymous with pre apocalypse. This may be actually incorrectly used by the inhabitants of fallout and in turn misunderstood by the players. There were actually two wars before the apocalypse. What I'm saying is that "pre war" in the description may not be referencing the Great War. Rather it maybe referencing the sino-american war which seems to be recognized as two separate conflicts on the wiki. If this is the case then there should be no lore conflict as the t60 was created after the sino-american war which concluded with the liberation of alaska. Why this could be misunderstanding? The description for the t51 seems to be external lore separated from the internal lore. Basically external information placed on subjects of the universe and not referenced material from in game. We as players could be taking this external lore and applying it to the internal lore. So when the inhabitants of fallout say pre war we as players consciously take that to be connected to what the external lore is saying. "Pre-war" could simply be used as a catch all term for the inhabitants as a way to reference pre apocalypse. [link] [comments] |
| Paladin Brandis somehow related to the Brandice family of Fallout 3? Posted: 05 Aug 2021 07:50 PM PDT I was watching an Oxhorn video on Greygarden when a familiar sounding surname caught my attention. When talking to Bryan Wilks in Greyditch, he will tell you about the other families living there. One family goes by the name "the Brandice family." After describing the son and mother of the family, he goes on to describe the father as "kinda scary," and "an old soldier. He describes the man as not very trusting. His terminal reveals that he's an ex-Enclave soldier on the run. The father's corpse can be found in the subway system, but the mother and son's bodies are never found. There is very little information about the son Frank, but we do know that he was about a year older than Bryan Wilks. And we know that his father was a somewhat paranoid soldier who was killed, leaving Frank and his mother to fend for themselves. There's another dubious bit of lore in the terminal: the father describes sons by two names, Will and Frank. Bryan Wilks only mentions one son, and the father's name is William. I suspect this is a typo and not canon, but we could interpret this as another (potentially older) son named after his father. In Fallout 4 we find a Paladin Brandis. Judging by his appearance he could be anywhere from 50-70. That doesn't quite match up with the timeline of the characters in Fallout 3 as the two games are only set 10 years apart from each other. Even if he is only 50, that would make him 40 years old during the events of Fallout 3. Even if we buy into the "older brother" theory, 40 seems too old. We also know from the quest text in Fallout 4 that Paladin Brandis' patrol went missing three years prior to the events of the game, meaning seven years after the events of Fallout 3. But perhaps there were other Brandice family members who joined the Brotherhood of Steel. We know that the Brotherhood presence from Fallout 4 departed from the Capital Wasteland where we encounter the Brandice family. William Brandice was a member of the Enclave in Navarro, who we know migrated en masse to the Capital Wasteland as well. Is it possible that Paladin Brandis was a member of the Enclave who travelled from Navarro to the Capital Wasteland, deserting at some point around the Enclave's defeat, and eventually joining up with the Brotherhood, only to eventually be sent on a mission to the Capital Wasteland? I realize this is a bit of a stretch, what with the different spelling and lack of direct evidence, but there were just enough similarities between the two stories to pique my interest. What are your thoughts? [link] [comments] |
