Man born 200 years after nuclear apocalypse has a similar reaction that any man born after 1947 would. "You seen the wall...lately? It's freakin' 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦!" Fenway, Fenway never changes.

"Years of consumption led to shortages of every major paint hue. The entire world unraveled. Green became a distant memory. It is now the year 2287. We stand on the brink of a blue coloured wall, and I am afraid. For myself, for my wife, for my infant son - because if my time in Diamond City taught me one thing: it's that wall... wall never changes."

[@Mixxie67]

They captured the character of Boston so well in this game. We drove from Rhode Island to drop off our kids at a Cramps show during the historic World Series in which Boston finally beat the Yanks. We couldn’t find the club which was tucked away behind Fenway (and also it’s Boston). We asked a pedestrsian for directions, and to this day we still quote, “You mean the fuckin’ *nightclub* ?” He further reprimanded us with, “You know what’s going on over there? It’s called ‘the *World Series* ‘.” It was hilarious. Although not so hilarious when a girl got a rubber bullet thru the eye coming out of that same nightclub during a riot. My mom brain wants to say it was the night after my kids were there but it all kind of blends in at this point.

@@modeman15It’s a simple sport, 8 players minimum for both teams. There are 9 innings unless it’s tied then you keep going until someone scores. You can score either by knocking the ball so far out that you lose it (a Home Run), or you manage to run around the 3 bases back to home without being tagged by the ball. If you’re on base you are safe from being tagged, but only one person can be on a base at a time. If the bases are ‘loaded’ as in all 3 have someone on them and the next person up to bat scores a home run it’s called a Grand Slam. You get 1 point for every person you manage to get around the bases. When batting you can get struck out if you swing and miss, or if the ball is thrown within an imaginary box that is basically the reasonable range at which you can be expected to be able to hit the ball. Outside of that it’s considered a ball. 3 strikes and you’re out. 4 balls and you automatically get on base. You also have a player on each base, a player between first and second, and a few spread out in the outfield. Meanwhile the pitcher stands on a mound in the middle of the field with a catcher behind the person who is up to bat. You also have an Umpire who judges if something is a strike or a ball or if someone is safe when they reach base.

God, this is making me want to play my 2016 dream of either the Courier or just a veteran NCR ranger sent to the Commonwealth to investigate the rumors making their way west of an organization called "The Institute". An NCR vertibird dropped him off as far east as it could with enough fuel to fly home, and he trekked his way to the Commonwealth where he happens upon Preston Garvey in Concord. It's expected to be a multi-year mission, so he decides to set-up shop and "join" the Minutemen (seeing it as a potential ally and trading partner of the NCR if politics starts going continental.) but with his true loyalties still back West.

The dude is gonna paint a huge wall with a gallon of paint and with a brush. Has the radiations made everyone in the commonwealths mentally deficient?

[@BlazefireSaber]

This is why I hate the Bethesda Fallout games. The entirety of the game and all of its lore is brushed away in favor of some quippy dumb reddit-tier dialogue like this; there's no genuine lore behind something as mundane like this. The older games would have probably said something like how the Old World US army used to fight with green uniforms and the town adopted those uniforms from a nearby armory and it has a history of watchers who defended the walls who wore armor clad in green, and to honor them, the citizens honored them by painting the wall green. Even if it's made up, it adds some sort of depth to the game's lore, and makes you think twice about the setting. Aside from a VERY small pool, every person you meet in Fallout 4 is either a complete and absolute incompetent moron, a raider, or a character devoid of any sort of personality and charisma. Sure, Fallout 2 and to a lesser extent, New Vegas, may have had one too many references to pop culture stuff, but nothing as dumb as this

Not everything needs depth in a game, but I do agree that Fallout 4 could've used more in general.
