Good things come to those with the patience to wait... unless you're actually GRR Martin in which case the majority of your fans would really wish you're working on a certain book about seasonal air currents ;)

Ah, I was assuming the Crimson Rain was sourced from the Sierra Madre and as such the NCR would've forced open the vault as it's the heart of that place. That's what I get for assuming considering the tech comes from Big MT. Since that's the case and frankly the Sierra Madre is one of, if not...

Meeting phosgene and lewisite with the red cloud of the Sierra Madre... the E-USA is in for a big oof when that happens. And which brings up the possibly interesting question of what happened to Father Elijah, the vault was meant as a survival bunker able to keep someone alive indefinitely and...

TBF, the NCR was expecting someone S.P.E.C.I.A.L. to do the heavy lifting at certain 'key points' as happened with the Vault Dweller / Chosen One / Courier. They don't realize the E-USA has its own S.P.E.C.I.A.L. people and that their own foremost S.P.E.C.I.A.L. person, the Courier, is going on...

I don't really see people trying to say Autumn is a nice guy blameless in all things, but Eden was the standard bearer for the 'Richardson' portion of the Enclave at Raven Rock while, whatever the faults / flaws of Autumn's policies on genetic testing, even canonically where he was railroaded by...

Nate was incapacitated and from the looks of it hadn't given specific orders to commit to a certain plan / forbidden Operation Pied Piper, so the VP was well within his rights to implement it even if he knew it wasn't Nate's first choice since for all he knew, Nate could've been permanently...

IIRC, Autumn in the first series was pro 'human purity' in a pragmatic sense as opposed to an ideological sense in that if you recognized the authority of the Enclave / E-USA, you were either welcomed or at least tolerated (in the case of non feral ghouls / super mutants) while OTOH, fighting...

I'm thinking it might be PRC John Henry Eden in charge of the communists. It would explain how they've been able to hold on even in the face of the other two Chinas and their own policies. I really like this, that the NCR command in the Midwest has woken up to the reality that the E-USA is not...

TBF, if President Eden had won the power struggle vs Autumn (i.e. say Liam Walker eats his gun in grief and mistrust), the NCR of this timeline could be looking pretty prescient in opposing an Enclave that might make Richardson's Enclave look tame by comparison.

Your vision of House lines up with mine pretty superbly, I do hope he learns of synth technology just for the chaos his next 'Platinum Chip' would cause. :sneaky:

There's also the unreliable narrator factor going on here since we have no idea if Sentinel Brandt and his forces are actually being 'ProtoAdeptusMechanicus' religious nutjobs, or maybe Brandt's just a bad commander and/or his troops are inferior quality and he's blaming the weather and his...

TBF, Navarro didn't say his life support was any harder than FNV either, and he was pretty stable in the End Credits if you sided with him. House's predicament is that, even if he probably could go full Think Tank or any one of the other MAD SCIENCE 'longevity' procedures if allowed to, he...

Gotta remember this is the FO verse though, who knows how effed up New Zealand (or etc. place that 'should have been relatively safe') was before the bombs dropped and/or if some MAD SCIENCE happened.

Honestly, that's pretty realistic since there was definitely a sense of overprepared'ness leading to complacency. The real test will be how the E-USA responds now that they know for certain that the offensive is on in earnest. I wouldn't put the BoS into a corner like that though considering...

The NCR is a 'scratch built' coalition of survivors, wastelanders, slavers, vaulters, barbarians, and ancient technological abominations. The only reason they've had to improve themselves from the enormously high tech base they already have (because remember, consumer access to fission / fusion...

I wouldn't count on the NCR being primitive technologically compared to the E-USA considering all the MAD SCIENCE they have in their portfolio wrt the Big MT, Mr. House, the tech the Courier lifted from the E-USA in Autumn Morning and etc. They are behind, but that has more to do with NCR's...

Ehhh. I'd still argue there is something seriously different about how FO'verse physics work in how 'brain in jar' / 'neural interface' computing solutions along with hyper advanced vacuum tubes were definitely invented earlier and easier to work with than semiconductors when in the real world...

The thing about the NCR and E-USA is that they're in some ways 'post scarcity' in the respect that they have access to fission/fusion power, very small populations relative to that power output and are more limited by philosophy / politics / MAD SCIENCE than practical concerns. Salient Green...

The way they've built their settlements to foster a permanent siege mentality would strongly preclude this. Not that they don't have good reason for doing this considering they are being squeezed by both the NCR and Enclave / E-USA.

TBF the physics in the Falloutverse are closer to Dune/WH30k such that the semiconductors that our civilization is based on are more difficult to produce and/or work with than literally putting your brain into a jar of brain sustaining goo and controlling things with TESLA COILS!
