>game takes place centuries after the bombs fell>people are still living in shacks made of trash and pre war rubble
no bombing in india and they live worse than this.
>>747685532Thats because they are bug people, not humans
>build new houses and devices in settlements made from raw materials>it comes pre rusted and full of wear and tear
>>747685642You are literally building them out of random crap you find lying around. Do you expect them to look like they just came out of an Ikea showroom?
>>747685492science fiction is not realistic
>>747685492I don't think Fallout 4 is that crazy. It looks quite livable and isn't particularly filthy. Where the hell are you going to find metal that isn't rusty and wood that isn't rotten in Boston? Fallout 3 is way worse.
>>747686002It is actually
>>747685532I wish we could bomb India. Is 3 nukes enough?
>>747685642>>747685774sandpaper and paint are forgotten technology
>>747685642>>747685774by the way 80% of americans live in wooden houses anyways, why not build with wood?
>>747686405If you'd played the game, you'd know that they literally send you out to look for paint because there's almost none left. There are like a dozen cans of paint left for the whole of Boston. People forget that US in the Fallout universe was already in deep trouble even before the nuclear war.>>747686468Because this is downtown Boston.
>>747686658>new new englanders can't figure how to make paint
>>747686762Do you know how to make paint?
>>747686847Yes
>>747686658You can make paint out of milk and cooked animal parts so if you have brahmins you can make paint. People can mass-produce ammo, BoS comes with a blimp but paint is beyond them?
>>7476862503 nukes might kill .5% of their population
the whole eternal war zone with raiders super mutants and zombies doesnt register in your small ass brain? you think everything would be clean in a war zone ? you literally walk 15 feet and you are swarmed by killer monsters anywhere on that map
>>747685597>bug people, not humansLike 90% of the wastelanders you meet in Fallout.
>>747686658>downtown Boston>most people live in shackscome to think of it why more people don't live in places like Concord with actual buildings?
>>747687049The whole reason there's a city there is that it's one of the few defensible positions. Such problems impact the other side of the stadium walls.
>>747685492Yeah, I mean 200 years is idk 6 generationsConsider that from what we know each major city wasn't just nuked but absolutely hammeredNew Vegas had like 70 nukes, Boston has at least 10 This is while the US is involved in resource warsTotal destruction of most major city infrastructure to start, long range communication goneThe world population was reduced to 50 millionI mean if ghoul lore is to be believed the initial numbers would have been hundreds of millions of rabid zombiesNot to mention super mutants, mutated animals, etc
>>747687115Poor protection. Many pre-war buildings are occupied by raiders who lead a normal lifestyle and even do some work themselves, and there are a couple of abandoned settlements like Quincy. Boston is in such a mess not because of a nuclear war, but because the whole region is screwed over by the Minutemen being idiots and the Institute. It's literally in worse shape than it's ever been, and things used to be much better and less chaotic.>>747687432Boston was lucky, it wasn't hit too hard. Civilization took root there almost immediately after the impact, and things just got worse with each generation. No one is recovering (without the player's help) because things are actively getting worse
>>747687307>there would be no impact inside a gated community inside a war zone!retard, even in present day go look at the enclosures they have in middle east with barbed wire fences and massive amounts of security and thats not even 1% of what would be fallout series level of every day danger
>>747687674The difference is that the rest of the world hasn't been destroyed for such communities.
fenway is fucking tiny. i'd hate to share the space with a thousand stinkies and muts.
>>747686405sandpaper was invented in 1921
>>747685492Diamond City is a third-world shithole. You can live like a king with bleeding-edge tech like teleportation and advanced AI if you're with the Institute
>>747686847your body's full of paint
>>747688102your point being?
>>747685492It's a junkyard yet they have time to make it look and feel like a baseball theme park
>>747686847the simplest one in the world is just charcoal plus a liquid like animal fat or even water
>>747688396It's a baseball stadium
>>747685492most weapons in this game have an annoying shadow glitch where the shadows dont affect the weapon if youre facing a certain bearing (about 1/4 of the radius)it affects the barrel and, on some weapon, the back half of the gunits the shittiest, most random, most annoying glitch in any game ever how do i get rid of it
>>747688802Yea but they're also larping and put baseball shit everywhere. It always felt silly to me since it feels and looks like a tourist town in the middle of a nightmare war zone
>>747689113There's 1 baseball guy, and the joke is he thinks its a blood sportNo one else in the city dresses in baseball clothes, none of the stores are baseball themed, there's nothingWhat is there is there because its a literal baseball stadium
>>747685492Because it's Videogame apocalypse playground logic, in reality society would reform very quickly the pacification of modern society would be gone and instead those who are left who remain capable of civil organisation will likely also be extremely militant due to the necessity of ridding themselves of the "fuck around" demographic such as bandits and undesirables, so bandit wars would resolve quickly as the organised will always obliterate the disorganised,Then if you have remnant technology like electricity you are already immediately industrialy capableSo long story... Yes fallout is retarded, you would only see that kind of apocalypse shit in the immediate chaos following as groups try to reform, 100-200years is an enormous amount of time society would have completely rebuilt, people forget we went from inventing electricity to launching satellites in under 200 yrs
>>747686847Yes. You can create white, yellow and red paint from just lead alone
>>747689473Am I crazy or do the guards literally not dress like catchers and walk around with baseball bats.Yet I also haven't played the game in a decade so I may be misremembering how basebally it feels.
>>747685774Hate to be a New Vegas Faggot but the West Coast had wayyyyy nicer buildings than the ones I’ve seen on the east coast
>>747686658They were struggling with the economy and AI Future, not a paint shortage lmaoo
>>747688102No, it wasn't. That may have been when modern sand paper was patented but sanding wood with an abrasive surface precedes making steel which has been going on for at least 4000 years.
>>747688186Or you can live on the west coast with Mr House and have access to a large Robot Army and ownership of a big ass dam
