"Fallout" Intro

[@MDM-ej7tr]

Something about the old 1990s graphics just makes it even more unsettling. Some people say the game aged badly, I say the "oldness" adds to the aesthetic.

good comment, agreed completely. Games visuals aged perfectly especially with the dark soundtrack and general oppressive nature of the game.

I kinda wish they'd kept the focus on the bleak, dark atmosphere as the series progressed.

"I dont want to set the world on fire" just dosen't have the same ring as this song.

It's also great because it implements a certain feeling of hopelessness through lore. Usually, apocalyptic events in movies and games are about destroying a "normal" world. You know, the zombie outbreak that wipes society. But here, we learn that the world had already gone to shit before the nukes were even dropped. Without much other context, just with what you know living in the 90s, you already know how horrible everything is. Can you imagine how bad the state of the world has to be for China to attack the US in Alaska, the USA to annex Canada and the EU to dissolve? Everything was bad and then it got much worse. That is the world you as the player enter. Which hammers home the feeling right from the get-go that you won't fix any of these problems. It's not your goal in the game to do that.

[@CowboyLuigi]

I would say it echoes the thoughts of mostly sane people in this nihilistic, lawless world they now live in due to these atomic wars. "Maybe" implies that soon, life would go back to the way it was before and perhaps be even better, even when it's clear it won't. Unlike in 3, New Vegas, , Fallout Shelter, and 4, which actually do something to make their own paradise out of nothing, there's no way to make a paradise when you already know it's fucked. Call it delusion or learned helplessness! Playing this now, I can understand the appeal of the "Obsidian-Era" Fallout compared to "Bethesda-Era" Fallout, as it focuses on grittier, darker tones instead of making it like "Mad Max" and "Apocalypse Now." I better get started and play this game that I held off for quite some time, pronto!

When I first played Fallout and this intro played my first thoughts were "There is no way that someone can live in the wasteland It's to quiet and lifeless" and then when "Maybe" started to repeat I was a bit scared and lost in thought, so I come up with my head canon explanation for the "maybe" repeat I tried to explain to myself that the first scenes of the intro are happening few minutes or hours after the Great War ended and this would explain why TV is still turned on and commercials are still playing. (Sorry for my English I'm Pole)

[@Discontinuedalready7372]

_Your English is pretty good, honestly_

[@ascentar6713]

Your English is almost flawless. The only constructive criticism I can point out is the usage of “to” instead of “too”, and how you said “it’s to much quiet” instead of “its much too quiet” is Other than that, I don’t see any issues with it.

It's mostly because fallout 2 came out with a 10 month development cycle, and Bethesda doesn't like like to add much to the lore.

Well bethesda pretty much just reuse everything from the first game. The wasteland feels very small when everywhere is just the bos, super mutants, deathclaws, bottlecaps, radscorpions no matter all the excuses they make to justify putting that stuff there. Not to forget all the towns made of scraps 200 years after the bombs.

@@FlyJonat I mean, every single faction except the BoS is new in 4 and in 3 only the BoS and Enclave are reused. That's literally it, everything else is new. For creatures, the Deathclaw, mole rat, and Radscorp were reused, with ants, super mutants, and ghouls being reused but undergoing major reworks in design. Yao Guai was added. It's pretty reductive to say it's all just reused.
