    i just let him do it for a while

    i don't think he even scratched the paintwork

    I kinda regret killing him when I escaped now

    That would have been far more satisfying

    I always let him get to Rivet, then promptly walked him into a Super Mutant nest.

    "After the bomb" isn't really a concept that Fallout owns. If it has a bunch of lame 50s references and such, then you might have a point.

    Yes, yes, YES. This is pretty much my one complaint in FO3 - no one is ever afraid of you. For instance (Paradise Falls...'spoiler', I guess)
    after completely destroying each and every slaver in Paradise Falls as brutally as possible, I went to kill Eulogy Jones. I would have absolutely loved if he cowered in fear and begged for his life, and if I was able to talk to him and tell him I'm going to kill him or something. Instead, he just pulls out his little pistol, without saying a word, and I melt him.
    Considering the 'only look out for myself/chivalry and valor are REALLY dead' attitude of the Wasteland, I think it would make a lot of sense for people to really fear for their lives, especially when they have no chance of beating you in combat.
    I wish there were more options for your actions in other parts of the Wasteland to affect your dealings with people.

    Take Susan Lancaster and...
    ... the slavers at the Lincoln Memorial, for instance. In my first playthrough I go up to the LM and whatshisname tells me that they're a scout team from Paradise Falls waiting there to ambush escaped slaves. It would have been so satisfying to tell him that everyone in Paradise Falls is now dead and I was the one who did it.

    Same for Susan. It's really hilarious to me when you piss her off when she tries to get you to follow along with her prejudiced genocide bullshit and she says that she knows some really bad people who I don't want to mess with.

    Eulogy's dead, honey. And now, so are you.

    I think it's the right way to do a video game movie. Take the idea, the essence of the game, and build a movie around it.

    Would a movie where you start in a vault and go across the wasteland be a good one? No. You couldn't tell a vault dweller's story in 2-3 hours. You could tell a story set in a parched post-nuclear wasteland, where water is more precious then blood and life is cheaper then ammo. And that is the core of the Fallout series.

    Anyone ever see A Boy and His Dog? It's got post apocalyptia, raiders, vaults full of people stuck in the 1950s and even hints at big green people that kill everything in their path.

    That's probably about as good as you can do for a Fallout movie.

    The problem with a fallout movie would be that to really capture it, you'd have to compress a ton of atmosphere and context into a movie. My bet is that it would wind up being a lot like Watchmen was: too long by half and better at developing the setting than actually being a good story.

    edit: and without all that context, you can just go watch Mad Max again.

    I was going to ask the same thing. I've seen commercials for it, but haven't watched an episode yet. I'm DVR'ing the next one on Tuesday, but I was wondering how it was.

    I hope they factor in radioactive dogs or other zombified creations into the mix.

    Hell yeah. Interested, but I can see the typical veneer over it all.

    four new people, let's all drop our weapons, sing Kumbaya, tell them everything about our location, and then act like a pack of retarded monkeys with no leadership.

    My vote goes with Mike because he seems to be the only one asshole enough to git 'r dun in postapocalyptia, but a hundred caps says I could take that "sanctuary" in a night. That's assuming I didn't get let in for being a Nice Guy and then Mr. Sandman the lot of them.
