*licks Finger And Tastes The Air* My Fallout Game Is About To Crash

kendrick real in fallout confirmed

not sure which one i prefer but this came to me in a dream

My oc Ryan is in a sort of au that basically rewrites some stuff, expands on things fo4 didn't, and has some headcanons to make things a bit more realistic. The institute does have an actual cause and use for synths in this. I just need to figure why using the resources to make synthetic people would be better than just getting more people. Maybe it could be a mix of pushing themself to their limits and a way to prevent information from being leaked. Idk. Why does the institute have to be the way it was. Shaun will either not be the leader or lead things differently than canon.

Oh btw Ryan is not the sole survivor. I'll explain what exactly his situation is in his introduction post. The sole survivor still exists. Nora is more canon to me (her concept is more interesting) so she's the one to survive. Most of Ryan's story is post canon. And also this will use the minutemen ending.

Nameless Ghost...

Just a forgotten ghost wandering in the darkness, waiting to be remembered.

There's a question which the west coast Fallout games are quietly litigating, which is that age-old gotcha about what you do with the remaining orcs once you've deposed Sauron. In the original Fallout, the Super Mutants are basically universally aligned against the quote-unquote "good guys," for whatever value of that term is applicable to the wasteland at large, but subsequent games make it clear that this was an ideological thing, and a product of the political moment of the mutants creation rather than an ontological quality that they have. The game is very aware that this is something that was done to them, and the tragedy of that; the first mutant you're likely to run into is dying scared and alone.

Fallout 2 presents super mutants who've broken in every direction ideologically in the aftermath of the Unity's collapse; the peacemakers under Marcus at Broken Hills, Gond as a member of the abolitionist NCR rangers, reactionary remnants of the original mutant army, genocidal self-hating fascists like Frank Horrigan. Fallout: New Vegas iterates on this beautifully. The mutants dovetail perfectly with the theme of how every faction in the wasteland is trying and oftentimes failing to reckon with the weight of history. Their utopian movement imploded outside of living memory, closer to the apocalypse than to the present day. The survivors- who can only dwindle in number due to their sterility- have been left to reckon with that in whatever way they can. And they have their backs to about a hundred and twenty years of that reckoning not going particularly well, of being the bugbear and boogeymen for bullies and ideologues whose grandparents weren't even alive to suffer from the Unity's actions. The lack of a collective future for mutantkind casts a pall over even the best ending for Jacobstown; humans are collectively resilient within this setting, but through violence, and accidents, dementia and senility, the day will inevitably come when there are no mutants left. And worse still will be the day before that, when there's only one mutant left. Finding some form of satisfaction or contentment within that dwindling window, with the world against you, is a task that falls to the individual mutant. (Take Mean Sonovabitch, for example. He seems to be doing alright for himself.)

Then we slide on over to the east coast games, where the mutants are.... morons. Cannibals. Marauders. And when you meet one who isn't, the game throws itself a ticker-tape parade for containing such an audacious twist. To go back to the orc thing, it's like if The Hobbit had contained a lengthy, empathetic subplot about the rich internality and fleshed-out-if-deeply-flawed ideology of the orcs, and then there was a pivot to treating them like a monolithic block of ontologically evil marauders in LOTR. While staring you straight in the eye the whole time, unblinking. Daring you to say something

there's smth so cute about these videospheres,,
