dbunting Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 7 hours ago, Heartofice said: Fallout has it's own aesthetic that I think of as 'Fucked up Jetsons'. I think of it as a world that people in the 50s would imagine the future to look like. So lots of crazy things like robots and flying cars, but mixed in with their own limited vision of what a tv would look like based on their current tv. A bit like how spaceship controls look in old Star Trek. Now it seems utterly ridiculous to suggest you would fly a star ship using big flashing buttons and levers. Agree, Jetsons on acid works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Not Appearing Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Finally finished (yay, now I can unhife spoilers and see what people were talking about). Way more even and enjoyable than I had feared. Less of a clean ending than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) Tim Cain on the show, with some thought on seeming lore changes. He's fairly cool with it all, but Spoiler if they really want to say Vault-Tec started the bombing, he's not a big fan of that.

Werthead Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Tim's videos on all aspects of Fallout are pretty good, from the original idea to them working on it for three years (an insane amount of time to spend on a video game in the mid-1990s) to how they settled on the retrofuturistic setting and absolutely horrifying Steve Jackson when he came in to play it with the level of adult content, to the point he refused to give them a GURPS licence and they had to completely rework the rules system eight months from launch. He even has a good bit about how they came up with the box art (Leonard Boyarsky created it on a whim one day and never got paid for it, as they folded it into his regular duties). There's also some interesting stuff about internal Black Isle/Interplay politics, and how he left partway through Fallout 2 after Fallout outsold initial projections several times over and he didn't get his bonus, and several other developers resigned in solidarity with him. He also has great stuff on the running of Troika and the absolute brain-numbing requirements of being the company boss, which is why they terminated the company even though they could have kept going despite the various problems Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Temple of Elemental Evil and Arcanum had.
