I remember when the whole "the vaults were all secret social experiments" shit was considered to be tinfoil, bad episode of The X-files, cringeworthy crap. Now, with government agencies and projects like Prism and the NSA, and corporations making bank (and, in some cases, turning a profit and destroying the competition entirely) off of giving the government loads of information in exchange for tax breaks and corporate welfare, such as Google, Microsoft, and Apple, it isn't such a stretch.

Ya got it, the vaults were meant to perform feasibility studies on humans confined to an isolated environment with different parameters to see what would happen to a society during extended space flight conditions.

The experimental vaults were never meant for an actual nuclear apocalypse scenario. There were other non-experiment vaults but they were far fewer in number because people weren't expecting the world to end.

And then somewhere along the line it devolves into mad science because evil government conspiracy.

At least that's what I originally got out of it. Not sure how much of this is even true anymore or simply retconned or outright ignored. Any anons with other input/corrections?

Most of the experiments were also nothing more than stuff like putting people of different ethnicities in the vault, putting 99 women in with one man, putting 99 men in with one woman, all there is to eat is a tasteless sludge, clothing dispensers break down, weapon locker doesn't have a key, that sort of stuff.

The concept of "feral" ghouls really is a weird one. Even the most braindead ghouls in the first two were still capable of doing things. None had really lost their minds to the point of pure savagery except maybe the Glowing Ones and even the guys walking around the Necropolis who attack you unprovoked stop when Set tells them to.

Bethesda probably just wants them to be a Fallout universe example of a marginalized people who can do no wrong and use the feral ghouls as a way to have certain ghouls as clear enemies.

The movie or game isn't made for the old fans. The new ones need to be roped in and the old ones just need to tag along since they're already invested.

20 minutes of exposition is a bit much, but like you said, the trash sequels meant to get people sit down for explosions and sex give you an expository scene then drag you along and much a lot of assumptions about what you know.

It cant be compared to a game though. You could be getting exposition throughout.

Have you not noticed that every single console game with a loading screen has either gameplay instructions or lore on it before? The certification process is the reason for that.

Ya know, if they just removed the references to Courier 6 then I think it would have worked better if Ulysses was made even more batshit crazy than normal and was just hunting any courier he could lure into The Divide. Not just specifically targeting the MC. That would have helped for background purposes because it could have turned out you had absolutely nothing to do with the events that happened in the past.

It would have also helped people to understand that Ulysses isn't being trying to be "deep" with his BEAR AND BULL shit, he was mentally broken inside.

I agree that in theory feral ghouls make sense, but the other anon's point was that you don't see anyone actually transitioning into being a feral ghouls in Fallout 3. All ghouls either had normal intelligence or were feral. In Fallout 1 and 2 though, you meet ghouls of varying sanities. Possibly on their way to becoming feral, but none were actually called feral. They were just crazy. In fact, all ghouls were at least a little bit crazy.

I don't. It fit right in with the 1950's of tomorrow theme. Look up the wacky shit the CIA was into and experimenting with back then. It wouldn't be past them to do some grand experiment like that considering that a) they considered the government secure thanks to their own plans such as Vault 0, the Oil Rig, Eden, ect, and b) because they weren't really expecting a full scale war, a limited exchange of tactical scale nukes at best.

I would only be interested in Fallout 4 if the world was randomly generated. I can't get excited for slogging through content made by beth.

Beth ought to realize that they excel in making open spaces and algorithms for players to live their characters in. Go back to Daggerfall style RPG. I have no interest in completing quest content made by beth and voice acting directed by beth.

I didn't put the full requirements in my post, just the section dealing with it.

The requirements are actually confidential, I couldn't find a copy of the latest version online.

The requirement is self evident, just try to think of the last time you saw a loading screen in a console game that was longer than 15 seconds and didn't contain text with either game instructions or lore in it.

Not at all, especially considering I've seen plenty of loading screens that don't include lore. Most don't even, it's just an odd one that does. Most have in-game controls, thinking of Metal Gear specifically.

I said EITHER instructions or lore.

Some devs think they can put something a little more interesting than just instructions on how to press A to take cover in their load screens.

There's nothing wrong with that and it's not pandering to the uninitiated like was implied with that terribly elitist post bitching about it.

The problem for with this game is that it's gonna be like FO3, where it's like a pet project or a throwaway project that's just meant to make money unlike TES games.

I know that TES games are casual and pandered to retards but they're still care about it. In Skyrim you can see some cares about stuff around it.

While many people said that FO3 is Oblivion with Guns, it's a lie. Because the game is worse than Oblivion. Not only on the lore side, but also on the gameplay side, too. It's like they didn't even cared. Oblivion had 240 quests + 50 quests with expansions, that's almost 300 quests. FO3 vanilla only had 50 quests, 94 with all DLCs. That's about 1/3 of the whole Oblivion. It's so underwhelming.

And I expected FO4 will follow the same route, considering all the leaks, which is disappointing

Fallout lore went batshit stupid with 2. Retards will tell you that Fallout was this glorious series of games until evil Bethesda grabbed it, but in actuality only the first game was great. Two was mediocre, as was Tactics, and we don't acknowledge Brotherhood of Steel's existence.
