Why are Fallout writers so scared of the post post-apocalypse?
>>
It's easier to ai generate scripts when there's less going on so just nuke everything lol

The Mojave as of a few years before the game doesn't functioanlly look all that different from today, just more sparsely populated. To get the game to its current state of chaos they had to stage a whole series of catastrophies both small and major (animals escaping from big mt, powder gangers escaping, Legion making it impossible fro NCR to police, etc).

Once you start building up a civilization it's just normal-land in some alternate future. Cars, drugs, jobs, bank accounts, etc. It's just America.

Now my thinking is they just avoid it by setting games on frontiers forever.

Its weird how compared to most antagonists, Benny took the extra measure and shot the Courier in the head twice and by some miracle of the universe he survived.

post-post apocalypse is elder scrolls.

>for want of a nail

The idea is that it's an improbable series of events that spirals into a major change to the mojave. Also explains the courier's amnesia and lack of skills. They forgot everything and have to relearn.

What was the name of that mod that changes the appearance of important npcs to make them more unique looking?

Becuase it's boring and nobody wants it other New Vegas fanfic dick riders. Even the Original creators knew this. Fallout 1 was apoctaliptic hellscape becuase it was so early in the timeline. Yet by the time of 2 they need to set it in the frontier region of California/Nevada. It wouldn't be post-apoc anymore. It would just be Sci-Fi.

No, I don't want to explore the regions of a already conqoured and settled Legion. Not unless that area has fallen to lawlessness becuase the Legion collasped. No I don't want to go back to California while the NCR is in power and control. Becuase it wouldn't be a post apoc story.

Fallout 1 got the aesthetic of a nuclear hell hole right. Bethesda couldn't get that right if it saved their asses

retard there were tons of towns already by the time of fallout 1
>>
>>719284578
They're not. Play the East Coast games holy shit. Retard.

>retard can't tell the difference between disheveled shanty towns and psuedo nation states.

Then why not make a game in a new setting you fucking retard? Hang yourself and never post again. You're clearly far too retarded for any sort of rational discussion.

>the only way to be post post apocalypse is to be pre apocalypse
You're a fucktard.

>>719286004
>Play Fallout 3 and Fallout 76.

Ew, no.
>>
>>719286450
Why don't YOU go look for a new game then? Fallout has never been a series about exploring post post apoc societies. Literally every single Fallout game has taken place in a lawless untamed wasteland and goes through hoops to make that the case. Nobody wants your gay ass fan fiction nations to take root. The series is fundementally built off the idea of old world blues since 1 and 2.
