I appreciate the fact that FO3 is so bonkers in its story and sidequest design that there can be confusion over which player-initiated genocide people are talking about.

Firstly: I don't know why you're so hyperfocused on coursers. They're not that good, and the teleportation trick isn't unique to them. Yes, a man in a slick black trenchcoat teleporting behind you to assassinate your commanders would be scary. You know what would be scarier? A squad's worth of...

I had thought it did, but this story has also been ongoing for years and has migrated sites. It’s entirely possible that I’m misremembering a WoG that never existed, or that minds have changed since then.

Big if though. The best modern example was mothership zeta and that went kaboom. IIRC there’s some mention of samples in Area 51 from before the war, but those don’t appear to have been noticed by the NCR.

That's only assuming they kept up the empire/republic cycle. It's entirely possible there's been many competing French monarchies/empires eating up the years.

I'm more curious as to what the context of this conversation actually is. The Salvatores obviously want something out of the E-USA but we have no idea what. On the surface it looks like an attempt to blackmail the E-USA government, but it's just as likely that this is a defensive action: the...

Besides which, I think it would be a major misstep for any Fallout story to take the implication that aliens triggered the nuclear exchange from Mothership Zeta and treat it as true. Even in a story like this, that is well past the postapocalypse stage of societal development, the fact that...

Giving the E!USA legitimacy as the old US continued might not be seen as a negative in NCR circles. As I recall wasn’t there a plan in the works to paint the prewar US as just about as vile as they claim the E!US is? If I'm remembering that right, legitimacy then makes the E!US seem like the...

Genuine question about that. Does House actually have anything on the US? I don’t think he was aware of events around the 2240s, and even if he brings up truly heinous dirt from before the war, the easy counter is again that said dirt is over 200 years old, anyone who actually did any of it is...

To be fair, that one's less relevant. Not because the US government didn't do it, but because it was 254 years ago as of the present date of the story. Even without the nuclear war, one would expect things to have changed just due to several complete generational turnovers in that time.

Hopefully it's been long enough that this doesn't count as double posting. As thoughts of the immediate future and the reversals in Texas cooled I've been wondering what the aftermath of the war will look like. For my part I don't doubt it will end in an American victory eventually. The NCR has...

That’d make the PRC a grimdark reflection of the Shi, which I have mixed feelings about.

Less shitposty commentary on the map now that I've had a moment to actually sit down an look at it. I do like it, but I have a couple of questions. Namely, there are a couple of places where countries who have reincorporated their historical territories have stopped even if those borders do not...

Grossgermaniums and Greece retaking The City? It makes my shriveled, lonely paradox player heart sing!

Goddamnit how did I not notice, those annoying little shits got spammed to hell and back when they were added to War Thunder.

I'd love to see that, especially given we already have an actual map of North America floating around here somewhere. It's fascinating to see where both sides diverge from the reality of the situation, and seeing where their collective half-truths and delusions overlap would be fascinating.

How much of Canada has been integrated in truth by this point? I can’t imagine there’s actually an occupied land border between the US and NCR; if there was we’d have heard of fighting there.

You know, at first I was disappointed but the more I think about it the more this idea is growing on me to the point that I like it more than the original ME cross now. Though now I'm curious, do you plan on displacing the Stargate timeline? Earth not entering the galactic scene for another...

A coincidence, though not that much of one. There are a fair number of Washington families in the US IRL, and precisely none of them descend from George Washington. Not surprising, given that the man never had biological children.

Yeah, even if the Enclave was actually minding it's own business during the events of FO2 you're not exactly likely to be remembered as a great president if the US's center of power and one of it's largest settlements (which you happen to be on at the time, too) happens to be destroyed by...
