These attitudes along with dwindling resources, lead to a conventional war between China and the United States, which eventually metastasizes into nuclear annihilation. The first two games, take heavy inspiration from the culture of 1950s America, complete with the persistence of big band music into the 21st Century along with an overdose of jingoism and anti-communist rhetoric in the collective consciousness of the nation.
and the other half Jesus Christ.Īnd then along came Obsidian Entertainment to shake up that paradigm, by keeping the old that worked and adding the new which would lead to the creation of the greatest Fallout game in the franchise’s history.įallout has always been a political game franchise, even if it was hard to tell through some of its later installments (I’m looking at you Bethesda).
Yadda yadda yadda, time for some lone wanderer to venture out from the Vaults to save humanity from itself? Hero saves the day, civilization manages to eeke out some standard of living, and you become a post-apocalyptic messiah, one-half Mad Max. But who am I kidding, you know how the rest of this story goes. And don’t get me started on what’s happened to the human race! Never mind that the human body has been twisted into the form of the ghoul or super-mutant, the worst urges of humanity have come out through the persistent violence and prejudices which haunted mankind before it had the brilliant idea to nuke itself. Animals have been mutated into either gigantic monstrosities or twisted facsimiles of their former selves. Plant life is lucky if its been mutated as most of it has burnt to a crisp by the atomic fires. The environment has been irrevocably changed by the high concentrations of radiation emitted by the blasts. What’s the use of calling it WWIII when the level of destruction caused by it was so life-altering that it makes the first two global conflicts look like a pissing match in comparison. Its been well over two-hundred years since civilization committed suicide in the Great War of 2077, the ultimate culmination of the years of tension between the communist and capitalist worlds.
