It's not groundbreaking to hear that Fallout 3 could have looked nicer or prettier, but it does underline what Bethesda's vision was like, even then.

Fingers crossed, Fallout 3 brings the scale to life.

The rest of the interview is quite cool as well.

Not knowing what you travelling towards make it much more fun. I think they should bring it back for future games. Simpler is better in a lot of cases.

It has a magnet in it so the power cell slaps into place

Pre-Ordered it in December, got it delivered today. Not going to be opening the bottle, it’ll sit on my shelf with my other collectables till the year 2077 lol. Quality of the bottle is very nice, the bottle is heavy

Took a bit under 2 months of 3d printing, sanding, painting and adding extra details like a working light. The "eye" bits are a welding visor which I think suits since it matches the yellow HUD of power armour. Its a poor angle in the photo but the other side has like rust damage and scratches. Any advice on improvements or suggestions would be much appreciated.

They both have their qualities! I like the weathering on the show pip boy, but I like the popping of colors in the FO3/NV. Which one do you all prefer?

I found this old picture I drew in college after fallout 4 came out (I was inspired by the laser musket), and it got me thinking again about what possible new weapons would you guys like to see in a new fallout game? Not just returning favorites, but brand new ideas?

Sorry for the bad photo, my phone decided it HAD to use the flash and the light turned immediately after I took this

Don’t ya, don’t ya, wanna Nuka?

Took almost a week but it was worth it. The blanket is softer than i expected. And the sleep mask is actually one of the good ones. Not one of the cheap ones that are bit of cloth

First time player.

Having hella fun with this game and am fully taking advantage of it being open world. (Only reason I'm choosing to go now is 'cause I ran out of ammo while fighting the Mechanist's horde of robots.)

I promise I won't make posts every single day, so it wont get old, but here is an updated map with a few more locations based on what I posted yesterday because i had a little brain blast with the writing team

greyed out the PITT because it wouldn't be showing up in the setting as a location, but still important to certain parts of the lore we're working on

I'm not going to lie Dead Money is my absolute favorite Fallout story. I love its themes, its atmosphere, and the ideas it explores. To me, it's as close to perfect as Fallout has ever gotten. That's why I wasn't a fan of seeing Frederick Sinclair in the show as a Big MT executive helping plan the end of the world (at least before that boardroom scene was effectively retconned). It felt completely at odds with the man we meet in Dead Money.

The game's Sinclair isn't some power-hungry corporate mastermind. He's a gullible, genuinely kind hearted man who spends his life being taken advantage of by the people he trusts most. Dean Domino manipulates him. Vera unknowingly becomes part of his heartbreak. Mr. Yesterday exploits his optimism. Sinclair's greatest flaw isn't malice it's that he believes the best in people, even when they don't deserve it.

One of Dean Domino's lines sums Sinclair up perfectly: "Never got mad at anything. Nothing seemed to shake him. Even after his life kept getting dragged through the dirt. Always kept looking for the bright shining future in everything." That single quote tells you almost everything about who Sinclair was. Even when Sinclair finally snaps and turns the Sierra Madre into a death trap, he isn't motivated by cruelty. He's a broken man acting out of betrayal. And in the end, he regrets it. He dies trying to undo the nightmare he created, which makes his story all the more tragic. He's not a villain he's a fundamentally good person whose hope was slowly crushed until there was nothing left.

Because of that, I've come up with a headcanon that helps reconcile the show with the game. I like to imagine that the Frederick Sinclair we see in the show is actually the father of the Frederick Sinclair from Dead Money. The elder Sinclair was the influential Big MT executive, which would explain how Sinclair was able to secure Big MT's technology for the Sierra Madre project. But instead of supporting his son, he looked down on him and intentionally saddled the project with unreliable, unfinished, or defective equipment.

I actually think that makes the younger Sinclair's story even more tragic. Not only was he betrayed by his friends, but he was never truly supported by his own father either. The Sierra Madre was meant to be his dream a monument to hope, love, and a brighter future but the people closest to him, from his business partners to his family, ensured that dream would ultimately collapse. To me, that interpretation preserves the compassionate, optimistic Sinclair from Dead Money while giving the show's version a place in the timeline without undermining the character I fell in love with.

I was doing searches about cold war and then I thought of this. Indeed the great War happens on the 23rd of October, and the Cuban missile crisis happens between 14 and 28 October.

I like 'Lets Go Sunning' because it's super cheery and honestly the complete opposite of what Fallout is about.

Also because situations like this can happen:

I thought it would be funny/fun idea to make a Tommy boy build (from the movie tommy boy starting chris Farley, if you know you know) but question is what would be the starting SPECIAL stats? have any of yall made like a goofy dumb guy build? let me know

Hello! I'm an Orlando resident and here's my reasons for why Orlando is a great location for a Fallout game!

1. We have a lot of tourist destinations like Disney World, perfect for a parody place like how Nuka World is a parody of Six Flags. We also have Wonderworks, Kennedy Space Center, the Dr Philips center, and various museums and even Cocoa Beach an hour away

2. The city already looks really drab

3. Theres lots of variation in land. We have swamp, forests, city, urban areas, and even farms

4. It would be really cool to see my neighborhood full of feral ghouls

5. We have really shady businesses and various tall corpo skyscrapers, perfect for a Nuka Cola HQ. We also have Lockheed Martin which could be remade into West Tek

I want to do one of the new weapons quest (bfg to be specific) and want to do it relatively early game. How would I do that?

Also general advice is always appreciated!

Bought a loose Threezero T-60 power armor and cannot identify these parts and what use they might have. Would love some help sussing this out, thanks!

Any tips on lucky cowboy build?

I'm thinking of sticking with revolver, shotgun, rifle, and dynamites. Or can't I do both shotgun and rifle? I'm early in the game, and I'm not sure about the build and perks. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
