This is some good bait.

>very first Pip-Boy
>isn't a tablet

This is what I was wearing in Fallout 1 and 2? Horseshit. Nice revisionism, Todd.

In the original Fallout games it was probably something more like a big, but still portable radio.

They would if their minds would be stuck in the fifties.
You know, like in fallout.

THAT'S NOT WHAT THE VERY FIRST PIPBOY LOOKS LIKE

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD!

>Real world
>lose weight and you can fit into pants

>Bethesda
>squeeze fat ass into pants too small

This. People forget Fallout is supposed to be 'retro-future.'

What are you trying to prove?
The taliban use (kinda) modern weaponry as well, but their minds are stuck in 200 AC
Same principle.

the taliban weren't the ones inventing things

I don't remember people in the fifties wearing computers on their hands

Bethesda are awful revisionists with zero respect for the franchise they purchased.

That being said, in the Fallout world, the way computers are supposed to progress is that transistors take WAY too long to discover so everything is bulky vacuum tube shit. Hence the retcon pipboy.

they didn't need to do it. they didn't need to explain the world before Fallout. it had absolutely no impact on Fallout 4.

They literally do not care. They come up with something they think is clever and do it spontaneously. See: ghoul child quest

>First Pip Boy
>Not a tablet

what the FUCK

No, it was other model know think the 2000

The pip pad was never mentioned as the first pip boy

Wow guns are cool

>ITT: Faggots getting pissed Todd is cucking their lore

they sure are

>can make super technology power armor
>make a 256kb computer that 'fits' on wrist
LOL

Bethesda hate thread?

That looks like shit, mainly because she would be an ape.

please tell me that text is edited for comedic value

That flesh eating bacteria gun looks great, shame it got cut for a laser reskin.

_no

Nope, just Bethesda being lazy.
>Hey, here's a cool idea
>Nah, just make her an average NPC

power armor isnt really supertechnology

Its a high density ceramic armor supporter by a moving skeleton powered by a portable fusion generator.

If we had portable fusion we could have power armor today so you can argue that fallout technology is only superior due to their extremely robust power sources which beat everything today.

sounds like when they said the throne at dragons reach was "too specialized: of an object"

I'm not that much into fallout lore but I imagine it was a more recent invention and was still in the process of being miniturized but then the bombs fell and people were stuck with the first generation of pipboys?

FO2 added a lot of dumb modern weapons which really undermined the aesthetic of the series, it's one of the few flaws of an otherwise excellent game.

Seriously? I've given up on buying Bethesda dev games. At least their publishing side gets some actual love from competent devs.

They've been using the same shitty engine forever and they can't figure out a wheelchair? Are they dumb or just lazy?

Someone post the train hat.

OH stuff that doesn't require any kind of computer that can run real world physics calculations in real time to run.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion

>over 120 years after 1950
>undermined the aesthetic of the series

yes the throne was meant to be this grand chair made of pure crystal but they said it was too specialized i guess they dont realize that special and unique objects is part of the reason people play this game

I'm not a fan of bethesda but the train hat thing was pretty ingenious and not worth complaining about you dumb nigger.

You wouldn't ever notice unless you dig into the game files.

That's because you were born in 2005.

Looks more like MegaMan stuff

But the fallout universe didn't invent the transistor, or at least not until very recently, so computing technology didn't progress at the same rate of ours.

>born the year i graduated highschool

thanks for making me feel old you dick >:[

it's pretty hilarious how they don't even hide they are lazy fucks because they know they will get away with it and people will eat their shit

never came across that quest. elaborate?

>Are they dumb or just lazy?
both

I think that BGS has a lot of talent that is throttled by poor management (Not Todd, higher up than that) and the fact that they are still using an engine they used over a decade ago (probably due to aforementioned poor management).

That's not to say that there are no people who don't deserve to get fired unless they shape the fuck up. Their lead writer Emil Pagliarulo needs to leave his daddy issues out of his writing, and Pete Hines needs to be fired or at the very least moved to another position, he is not suitable for PR.

the fuck does that have to do with anything

>tfw bethesda will always be stuck in the east coast
>tfw there will never be a fallout based on Alaska
At least I can hope a fallout based on the Midwest or in Florida

retard

A ghoul kid is found stuck in a fridge and has been that way since the bombs fell

>implying anyone wasted a nuke on Alaska

This. I don't hate them for that since, even if through a bit of trickery, they got the end result right. The Mama Murphy pic shows that they didn't even bother to try it, they just said fuck it we're lazy.

Ghouls can hibernate :^)

>Surprised retro-future prototype is massive and has loads of exposed circuitry and wiring

>We had tons of good idea
>But finally we were just too lazy to make them

This can't be real

>not using a nuke agaisnt all of the military bases in Alaska
You can also just nuke anchorage or Canada, the radiation would come to Alaska pretty soon

>no crt protection
jesus

if hes been in there since the bombs fell how is he still alive? why do other ghouls eat and drink if they don't need to. fuck you bethesda.

>the fuck do transistors have to do with computing power and size scalability
Oh wow

...

For all the fans of Fallout out there.
Let go.
Bethesda is not going to change. Fallout is their IP now, they'll fuck it as many times as they want.
Let go of the past.
Let go of Fallout.

>your game will never sell millions of copies even if you're competent enough to program AI that can interact with ladders

>Someone post the train hat.
Except that's some ruskies that are doing their best to make their game

DELETE THIS §§§

I'm certain no one at Bethesda ever played Fallout 1 or 2.

Desert Eagles and AKs were in Fallout 1, Hardy modern weapons being left over after an apocalypse is fine.

It's radiation I ain't gotta explain shit

While this is funny and kinda cool, and the shit I'm about to complain about is (rarely) one of the few complaints not aimed at modern Bethesda approach but rather a very old mistake they have made long before Morrowind:

My god that map is actually fucking stupid when you think about it. Outside of the fact that Vvardenfell not actually being separated from the mainland is by a relevant fucking watermass is just stupid and takes away a LOT of the aesthetics of Morrowind when you really combine them like this. Even more importantly: It's just all messed climate and biomes-wise, Even if we assume curvature: Balmora is still basically the same fucking climate zone as fucking Whiterun, but Vivec is the former tropical jungle zone of fucking Imprial City.
It's just so damn jarring. Sheogorad should be fucking covered in permanent ice coverage like northern Skyrim is. It's just...
It just feels off and like not a lot of thought was put into that. And it would be less of an issue if they actually did not go such lenghts to show that the region sizes are so similar, relatively to each other.

explain how this has to do with tech that has already been established since the tablet shaped Pip-Boy 2000

don't think that I'm mistaking that it uses advanced technology way different from later models worn on the arm

HERE'S A QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU FALLOUT FANS:

Is there any place on Earth left untouched by the War?

"Do not ask questions" - Bethesda Game Studios

Probably Alaska, maybe not, but the more possible ones are Montana and North and South Dakota

If Bethesda wants it. I find it pointless to think about it anymore. Who cares about canon when they'll change it whenever they feel like it?

Retro futurism is defined by oversized technology and exposed wiring
wat

The PipBoy in Fallout 1 and 2 were worn on the wrist as well, you just can't see it on there in game. Taken from the Fallout Manual:

>The RobCo PIPBoy 2000 (hereafter called the PIPBoy), is a
handy device that you wear on your wrist. It’s small, especially by
today’s standards, and it will store a goodly amount of information
for you. And using modern super-deluxe resolution graphics to boot!

...

...

Considering we know fuckall about the world outside of America it's entirely possible.

You do realize that Nirn is not at all comparable to Earth, right?

Don't get me wrong I know how shitty Bethesda can be but come on you're trying to hard here

FALLOUT IS NOT BASED IN NIM YOU FUCKTARD die die die fucking die go fuck yourself

But the post he quoted talked specifically about TES

calm down you dumb ape

at least they had ladders in Fallout 4

THEY ARE NOT LINKED WORLDS ONE HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE OTHER I HOPE YOU GET RAPED BY A BEAR

What is super-deluxe resolution in numbers?

...

...

>this game based on an alternative timeline isn't 100% realistic
>2/10 game Bethesda

Listen, elder scrolls and fallout are both shit game series with no redeemable qualities at all, but only a bethbaby would cry about it not being realistic.

Take your bethbabby ass outta here and stop shilling your games.

No one even claimed anything like that. Are you trying to be le epic ruseman?

Shitty argument, pretty much along the line of "it's magic ain't have to explain shit".
It's a problem of verisimilitude and believability. It's actually a non-diegetic problem: a problem of finding ways to make your fiction relatable and non-distracting to the viewer, while still presenting your own unique, fictional and speculative vision of the world.

It's like like if you write a really cringe-worthy and obnoxious character, or a blatant Mary Sue and then say: but it's not human, it's an half-elf half vampire half sonic creature, and our normal expectations of about characters don't really apply.
It may give "justification" why your character is unlikable, but it does not actually remove the problem of reading not having fun reading about unlikable characters.

And before you go the whole "you are exaggerating, I did not care, you are autist" or something like that: I know I'm over-focusing on relatively narrow problem that does not have a crucial role within the TES lore, but that still does not change the fact that it's still bad. Not neck-breakingly bad, but still bad. Bad fiction building.
