I've so far enjoyed all Bethesda games without mods. Mostly this. When Fallout 4 mods came in, I was kid in a sweetshop and installed so many mods I broke it all... Then I pared it back to just what I needed, but that extra content was really enhancing.

Then I pared it back to just what I needed, but that extra content was really enhancing. Totally off topic, but the games list in your signature is intriguing. I've played every one of those games from KOTOR to God of War (Minus AC and FC and I plan on playing Detroit, just haven't gotten it yet). And I assume the two before KOTOR are Morrowind and Baldurs Gate (both of which I've heard of, just never actually played), but what are the other 3 before those? And to not be completely off topic... I enjoy Bethesda games with or without mods. Contrary to popular belief, I happen to think they make quality rpgs before the mods hit. The mods just enhance them further. Perhaps why I enjoy Bethesda games so much is they contain exactly what I'm looking for in an open world rpg.

I'm sure it would have added even more to my playtime with their games. Anyway, I'm fine with online co-op.

Wouldn't go as far as killing, but would really love if they made a spin off in China. I would like to see a Fallout set in Europe. The lore seems to state they were already in a really bad shape due to the end of oil supplies even before the great war. If it wasn't for the online feature, I would be very much interested in Fallout 76. I was aways curious to see how the Fallout wasteland looked like shortly after the nuclear war. Also that. I don't know much about the old lore in general (so many retcons since FO3, I can barely keep up), but seeing how The European countries handled themselves would be kinda cool, I assume they didn't have Nuclear Power to fuel their needs as America did? Probably civil wars everywhere and pre-great wars due to one country invading the other for supplies.

I always wondered how there could be a resource war if fusion power has been mastered to the point where cars and weapons run on it.

Couple that with the fact Fallout's version of NASA were advanced enough to be considering extra-solar colonization efforts, and there really was no need to fight over resources on Earth. The mineral wealth of our astroid belt alone should have been enough to push the whole of their society to near post-scarity levels.

At times it looks like it was more advanced than we have now, and at times it looks bloody archaic. However prepare for retcon, because in FO4 we see American soldiers on the moon posibly fighting Chinese forces? in that poster inside the Concord museum. what. the. fuck.

Yeah the lore is rather wonky for this setting. Why blow yourselves up over oil when things like moon bases are a thing? Another thing to consider about Fallout's Pre-War society is that they all apparently had access to fully functional and autonomous AI technologies. Even if we exclude the developments of the Institute as a one-off example, the fact that a model like the Mister Gutsy was able to operate independently for hundreds of years should have signaled an end to any sort of petty resource shortages and/or the end of human hard labor. Send a group of these things out to mine our asteroid belt. Or hell, even over to begin disassembling Mercury for the foundation of a dyson swarm solar collector and you would have all the energy humanity would ever need.

I think this discussion about Fallout society before the nuclear war shows that fans think through these things better than the actual developers.

To me the Falluot lore was always more of a parody rather than anything that was meant as realistic. It's a humorous take on some of the scifi ideas in the first half of the 20th century, where everything is atomic-powered and humans are served by robots. Given that background, everything, including the wonky space-scenarios, moon bases and whatnot fit perfectly.

What I'm most curious is who the USA was fighting. Were it really the chinese? They never mastered the tech of power armors. Just a bunch of chinese soldiers in space suits would be massacred with ease against american troops wearing power armor. Fallout 4 intro also feels somewhat like a retcon. That idyllic Boston looks nothing like the Fallout seeting we were given. America was plagued by famine, soldier in power armor massacring rioting civilians, mass desertions, and then the FEV virus being accidentally released and causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands. From the lore itself, it seems the USA was already on the absolute brink even before the war.

But I don't quite remember what was in the poster. I remember american forces and a flag, plus recently fired weapons. You'd think they were there armed for a reason. It could also be bullshit, like propaganda. That event never happened, but the government was trying to convince people of it, it wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, in the game it was never depicted again how armed forces within American soil killed civilians and what not in Fallout. Maybe is yet another retcon for them, since back then Fallout was not Bethesda's IP. My assumption was always that Sanctuary was something akin to a gated community. That or retcons. Rectons everywhere.

While I very much doubt we would hear about social unrest in the TV or radio during the intro of Fallout 4 (the news must be tightly controlled by the government to make sure the masses don't panic), I would expect some cues in the game to these events. Like the protagonists mentioning there are food shortages in the market again, a lot of soldier are being seeing in the streets recently, and other small nods like that.

Or, deviations from reality, like they got to the moon, but there was no Power Armor nor guns, nor fancy jets (fuck if I know how those things are called), just like the real moon landing in our time. Many people myself included wanted a DLC to be some sort of crazy stuff like that, perhaps using the Memory Den in Goodneighborhood like they did it in FO3 with the Anchorage DLC. After seeing the poster many though it'd be pretty cool. Another thing about the unrest is dairies, or notes on computers. The only thing I remember in F4 are minor stuff like some soldiers getting into fights with civilians in a bar on Far Harbor, that ended with one guy getting shot at? or shooting of american forces at one car with chinese civilians as a mistake in one of those military outpost (driver didn't stop quick enough, or some other BS like that). Never was mentioned how guys in Power Armor were executing civilians on the streets.

How cool would that be?

I'd assume it was Chinese forces, since in Fallout universe they're the only "true competitor" to the US. But I don't quite remember what was in the poster. I remember american forces and a flag, plus recently fired weapons. You'd think they were there armed for a reason. It could also be bullshit, like propaganda. That event never happened, but the government was trying to convince people of it, it wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, in the game it was never depicted again how armed forces within American soil killed civilians and what not in Fallout. Maybe is yet another retcon for them, since back then Fallout was not Bethesda's IP. That or retcons. Rectons everywhere. This is the picture. It's entirely possible this is indeed just propaganda. While I very much doubt we would hear about social unrest in the TV or radio during the intro of Fallout 4 (the news must be tightly controlled by the government to make sure the masses don't panic), I would expect some cues in the game to these events. Like the protagonists mentioning there are food shortages in the market again, a lot of soldier are being seeing in the streets recently, and other small nods like that. I would have paid for a Fallout on the Moon DLC, instead bugthesda preferred the "playing house" approach for their DLC business in Fallout 4.
