Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I think this is what makes Fallout a love it or hate it setting.
Fallout tells often whimsical stories against the horrific backdrop of nuclear annihilation, and that's what gives it it's charm IMO.
I actually feel like it's more realistic in a sense than overly grimdark settings. People are goofy, and with over 200 years since the bombs fell it's believable that people will have some laughs and some motivations other than pure survival.
Oh, absolutely and that’s why I love NV and 1 & 2. They have self awareness and embrace the whimsy, a character like Myron or ’Fisto’ the sexbot would NEVER feature in a grimdark lore like STALKER, but that’s the humanistic charm of it.
If there’s some kind of post-apocalyptic society, there’s gonna be weird people and freaks, just like now - but in an absurd context.
