Has the 'Elephants foot" ever appeared as an Easter egg in any of the Fallout games?
I don't think it has, but it seems like something which should have featured at some point, given the theme of the games. What, they can include Loveceaftican Dunwich shit but not this? Makes no sense. It just seems like something which would have featured, at least somewhere at some point. Like a hidden area which has absolutely nonsensical radiation levels just as a little treat for anybody who would venture there.
There weren't any nuclear power plants in 3, 4, or NV. The one in 2 is obviously not that detailed.
You're not actually generating discussion by asking a question you could just google in 3 seconds.
>>345161507
Yeah, because the rest of the game is so grounded in reality, right?
I just wonder why it never featured somewhere in any of the games. Chernobyl is a pretty famous nuclear disaster, and this thing was once the most radioactive place on earth. It just seems like something they should be hidden somwhere.
Bethesda doesn't know anything that hasn't happened in the last ten years. I think you're looking for stalker
>>345161326
i don't think that wacky enough to be in borderlan- i mean fallout
maybe if they made a village around it
>>345161906
In a pre-war nuclear plant, sure.
It cannot exist otherwise.
>>345162108
I clearly don't understand what I'm saying.
>Fallout is based around NUCLEAR FALLOUT
>Chernobyl is the site of a very famous real world nuclear disaster
>The 'Elephants foot" was once the most radioactive place on earth
It just seems like something which might have featured, even just visually, somewhere.
>>345162374
>I clearly don't understand what I'm saying.
I guess so.
>>345161326
>Tfw the elephants foot is so radioactive it gave these Slavs speed force
>>345161326
>game set to autosave every 3 minutes
>discover the nuclear plant
>find the elephant foot by accident
>game autosaves
>die of radiation poisoning within 2 seconds
>mfw the autosave loops to radiation death
t-thanks bethesda
>>345162374
>>Fallout is based around NUCLEAR FALLOUT
Fallout created from a bombardment of nuclear weapons, not from a power plant exploding
>>Chernobyl is the site of a very famous real world nuclear disaster
The Chernobyl Disaster may not have ever happened in the Fallout Universe. I don't actually remember if it did.
>>The 'Elephants foot" was once the most radioactive place on earth
And now that would be The Glow, unless China really is just a melted glowing green wasteland.
>>345161326
That's in Ukraine, you utter retard.
>>345161326
Is that The Flash?
>>345163532
You realise the Fallout universe is completely fictional, right?
I just mean as an Easter egg. Something which you could find as a little nod to Chernobyl. That's it. I'm not trying to tie it into the fucking lore of the game. The dunwich shit absolutely nothing to do with anything in the Fallout universe, yet it still features in many of the games. Why couldn't this? At least it has something in common with the overarching theme of the games.
>>345163793
he was warning the scientists about chernobyl, but he fucked up the timing
>>345163793
This is a rare picture where you can actually see someones soul leaving their body.
>>345164256
It's not in because it really doesn't do or mean anything in the series. Hell, with how bethesda models shit you wouldn't even know it was actually in the game. The series is already saturated with the horrors nuclear energy can bring, an elephant's foot wouldn't even make it into the upper half of horrible shit in the series.
it would be a pointless addition, just like the lovecraft shit.
>>345162374
Come to think of it, it's really weird how there's no Nuclear power plants in any fallout game except 2.
I mean literally everything from TV's to Cars ran on nuclear energy. Seems that they'd power cities that way too with large plants.
Also wouldn't a City built in an old Nuclear plant be so much more tolerable than one built in a fucking bomb crater with a live nuke in the center
>>345164903
you don't seem to understand how Bethesda designers think.
>>345164256
>WHY WON'T ANY OF YOU AGREE WITH ME
Dude, just drop it.
>>345165764
There's nothing to drop. It was just a little observation, that's all. It just seems like something which would feature at least somewhere, given the nature of the games.
>>345165919
Is that the same man over the course of several days? Tell me more, anon.
>>345161326
Try a better game like STALKER and while it doesn't actually show the thing you can actually go to the plant.
>>345166176
The Jap's watched a man that was super radiated slowly melt and beg for them to kill him but they kept him alive as long as possible to see what would happen.
>>345166176
fatal radiation exposure
>>345165919
real life ghoul fuggin creepy
>>345166183
Stalker is a buggy piece of shit.
>>345166176
http://wonderfulengineering.com/this-is-what-happens-when-human-body-is-exposed-to-radiation-graphic-content/
>>345165919
2 men got caught in a freak accident, on their fault, and Jap scientist didn't let them die even though they begged to die. FOR SCIENCE!, they needed to see the impact on this shit on the human body and said it was a miracle that they were technically still alive for that long because their body and organs were literally dissolving.
>>345166565
Just like fallout games then.
That has to be the worst possible way to die that I can think of.
>>345166695
Some miracle that was.
>>345166717
Yeah but fallout is actually fun. Stalker is buggy AND shit.
>>345161326
>tfw everyone who has ever seen this has died shortly after
>>345166408
His brain pretty much died 3 days after he got in and he was kept alive for 3 weeks after that
He felt nothing
>>345161326
I'm pretty sure you can find it in one of the stalker games
>>345167208
The guy in the picture and the guy who photographed it died (I think).
>you will never be as metal as the guy melting from elephants foot while developing a stand and rocking on a guitar
why even live desu
>>345167303
If his brain "died, he wouldn't be alive, you massive tit.
>>345167489
The russians built a sarcophagus around the plant.
everyone that worked on it died of radiation exposure inside of a year after it was done.
>>345167643
your brain can be dead but your body kept alive.
What the fuck is up with that guy?
Why is there a ghost near him? What's with the lightning anime shit?
Is this the "radiation = superpowers" I've been hearing about?
>>345164903
I think the whole idea was that nuclear power was so advanced that there was no point in having power plants anymore, not when you could fit enough watt hours to power a whole house into a tube the size of an assault rifle magazine. Also >bethesda
>>345167797
The guy wasn't even braindead. He was kept in a medically induced coma for 3 months. His brain, like the rest of his body and organs, were completely fucked but still functional. He was very much alive.
>>345166037
>>345164256
Its in stalker, where it belongs
>>345166695
>jap scientist didnt let them die
They were in comas, when else are you going to see the effects of horrible radiation on humans?
>>345167989
I think that might be shopped. The only picture of the foot that I know about was taken by a robot. If anyone tried to approach that thing, they'd quickly start feeling like they were getting sunburned before they even got close.
>>345161326
The Fallout universe is based on a fictional timeline just after World War 2, where everything was stuck in the 50's. Chernobyl would never have happened in Fallout. There was no Cold War, just a constant resource struggle until 2077.
>What is Google
Chernobyl happened in 1986.
>>345167759
>his name was literally "ouchi"
>>345168186
I read that the first pictures of it had to be of its reflection from mirrors. It sounds like bullshit to me.
>>345168282
>>345168007
Yeah but this is coming from the same company who sets a game 210 years after a nuclear war and you can still find pre-war newspapers all over the streets and rubble and skeletons like the war happened yesterday and there's raiders who never raid anything. They clearly care about aesthetic over internal realism.
You'd think they'd include nuclear plants just because it's something people would associate with the rest of the game
>>345168216
>Easter egg
Clearly they arent going to have Chernobyl as an actual location
>>345168593
Making a nuclear power plant would require making unique art assets though.
>>345168593
May be wrong but don't the use some sort of nuclear fusion rather than fission. IIRC its waste is fuck all compared to fission, so they've kinda got the after match sorted out.
>>345168593
Didn't they also change how ghouls worked or some shit with a ghoul quest in fallout 4?
>>345168593
Because Bethesda is shit. Plain and simple.
>>345165919
There are no nuclear plants in the fallout universe, everything is powered by microfusion cells and nuclear cells.
They perfected the nuclear energy technology to battery-like levels, that's why you rarely see any power plant that isn't just a sideplant to keep the electric grid up.
>even fridges had nuclear cells.
This is why Fallout is an atompunk game, anon.
>>345167759

>>345167797
He was kept alive because it was against the law for jap medics to let a patient die, so they were legally forced to do anything in their power to keep him alive
>>345169175
Ghouls are basically zombies now (to the point where they crawl out from coffins in crypts)
And the one you're probably referring to is the quest where there's a ghoul kid who has been trapped in a fridge since the war
Which is lore-breaking because ghouls need food and water. Not as much as a regular person, but they still need it.
>>345161326
That blew a really good chance to make a legit spooky location with the cement pyramid.
>Outside of the map
>A tomb standing alone in the wastes
>Lot's of underground tunnels
They could've put something really cool at the bottom.of the complex or maybe just put nothing in there to fuck with the players. Instead, they had to ruin it by making it part of a quest.
radiation is stupid and should go away
>>345169547
>They could've put something really cool at the bottom.of the complex or maybe just put nothing in there to fuck with the players. Instead, they had to ruin it by making it part of a quest.
The whole Glowing Sea is fucking wasted potential. Nothing scary at it after the first few visits.
>>345169509
He had three heart attacks and each time was resuscitated. You're a fucking idiot.
>>345169562
Yeah. Why can't the Sun just fuck off!
>>345169547
The glowing sea was probably the best part of fallout 4
Also nearly all the lore issues with the game could've been fixed with Bethesda setting the game like 50 years after the war instead of 200
Then it would make sense why the cities are still garbage shantytowns and there's rubble and shit everywhere
>>345169728
Yeah, there some other cool places there, like the nuclear plant.
>>345169745
Yes, and they brought him back 3 times hmm? They couldn't let him die
>>345169849
I tought they were going to make it like F1's the Glow. What a fucking waste.
>>345169849
>Glowing sea
>Anything but shit
It seemed liked a cool thing when we heard about it and saw it in the trailers, but it was pretty underwhelming. The most interesting thing about it is the little settlement at the bottom.
>>345169942
Well when he really died then why didn't they bring in the Healer to cast Resurrect?
Guess they should all get a life sentence.
>>345169942
They should have let him die after the first one. It would have been a completely natural death and there was no obligation to resuscitate, especially considering his condition.
>>345170081
It was atmospheric. It felt dangerous even though after a while you can stomo through anything. and it just looked cool, felt like I was on some fucked up alien planet.
The urban city areas and the swamp were also quite nice, it's a shame that 25% of the entire map is empty ocean and then the other 60% was the same trees and hills.
>>345169509
His dumbass family wanted them to keep him alive too, even though he begged for them to let him die.
Fun fact: His last words written on a piece of paper were"Mommy, please."
This is in the Dax Coward case is why I'm pro-Right to die...
>>345170294
>>345170174
Yes they clearly fucking should've let him die you retards, but they attempted to bring him back 3 times and it worked 3 times. I'm sure they tried to do it again the last time but he finally died for good.
They are obligated to do everything they can to make a patient survive, purposefully not trying to "help" him would be very bad reputation for them. The families even checked in on the poor guy too, everyone knew he was never going to live but they couldn't willingly let him die.
>>345170081
I liked it for the atmosphere. Kinda lost its charm after about a half hour, when I realized it wasn't nearly as lethal as I thought it was. Then I started plotting how to ferry armor out of it without fast travel.
Why is nuclear energy/radiation/slime commonly portrayed as Glowing bright green?
Is real nuclear waste like that or is it just some weird trope
>>345169540
All it would have taken was placing some items inside. But I guess there just isn't time to consider such matters when you're being told to model another townhouse for another radiant quest.
>>345169186
>>345170849
Dax Cowart is a guy who got horribly burned in a gas explosion back in 1973. The fire burned over 68% of his body pretty much making him a crispy fucking critter. Poor guy was kept alive for 10 fucking months even though he repeatedly told the doctors and nurses he wanted to die because the pain was too much.
Here's a video about him.
https://vimeo.com/164747014
>>345169745
You just proved my point further you fucking retard
>>345171580
Well no. There's still not enough space for 200yrs worth of food in a fridge. Even for a ghoul. They eat, drink, and defecate just like regular humans. The kid in the fridge quest is honestly fucking terrible.
>>345171302
I remember there being an incident where, in a lab, some fuckwit messed up and let two halves of some sorta radio isotope whatever thing touch each other for a second, and I think it was a bright ass blue light that was emitted.
Virtually everyone in the lab when the accident occurred got lethal doses of radiation poisoning and ended up dying a bit later, not all, but some.
But uh, fucked if I know why "green" means "nuclear waste."
>>345173019
demon core
also bright green is a trope
>>345173130
How could I have forgotten such a cool ass name...
Yeah I bet someone just made it green sometime early on and everyone just sorta stuck with it I guess
>>345161326
elephants foot was caused my a nuclear meltdown, fallout's shit was caused by nuclear missiles. different shit, homes
>>345171302
The "green glow" so prevalent in videogames, movies, and such probably has its origins in tritium illumination. Its the only thing I can think of.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_illumination
>>345173652
>origins in tritium illumination
>origins in illumination
>origins in illuminati
>Illuminati
Damn I knew those fucking Jews were up to something.
>>345171302
In real life, radioactive shit doesn't glow at all unless it's really really hot at the time.
It would just look like a random hunk of metal, but you die when you look at it.
If you've ever been in a big quarry, you most likely walked past radioactive rocks and never even noticed.
>>345173652
Well, neat. I think the green color fits somehow. Maybe they used green lights in reactor water tanks back in the day for whatever reason .
>>345174494
no it's pretty much a trope
>>345174732
>>345174494
Well, there is Cherenkov radiation
>>345165919
his name was ouchi something, right?
>>345161326
Damn, what do you think the Geiger Counter would say standing next to that thing? Someone should call up an expert.
>>345168593
oh my god shut up bro
"bethesda is bad? well then they DEFINITELY should have done my bad idea! hah!"
>>345176267
it'd break the glass in a comedic fashion as you die of rapid degeneration on a cellular level
>>345161507
The Glowing Sea is theoretically there because a Nuclear power plant got nuked and melted down.
>people miss the point of the fallout games as they discuss /x/ shit
Eh...beats /pol/
bump this NUCLEAR thread
>>345168593
Perfectly fine pre-war toys, books, papers, drugs, food, etc everywhere.
Nothing but pipe weapons though.
Fuck Bethesda.
>>345171302
uranium compounds tend to have a very vibrant green color, things like uranium salt, or uranium glass, which have a green base color and also glow green under UV light
>>345178697
Why would you want this? Isn't uranium inherently unstable?
>>345178909
uranium is naturally ocurring all over earth, so all living things have adapted to the amount of radiation it puts out, you'd get more radiation on a sunny day than holding uranium ore on a cloudy day. it's only enriched uranium which is a very specific and rare isotope that is dangerous. and you can only come in contact with large amounts of that specific isotope by working in nuclear weapons manufacturing, so basically never
>>345178909
's cool yo
>>345176350
What the fuck are you talking about
It's not my idea im just saying it's strange how there's no nuclear plants in fallout (except for fallout 2)
