I haven't played F2 a lot because it sucks but it seems to me like the US is always the brutal aggressor in the Fallout universe.
Ooh, my little heart
Sorry but the game is bazingabrained in writing terms. Unbearable teenage 90s cringe.
The way it treats the indigenous proxy characters is also pretty yikes.
Massive yikes! Relatedly the introduction of slavery as a concept to Fallout... eh not a great move.
It had more edgy and tiresome pop culture references than a season of Family Guy.
love the original and was very disappointed.
I feel the same way. FO2 really had a "aren't we cool dudes" Gen X edgelord vibe, the same one that infested a lot of games of its time.
Interplay was sadly heading that way in its entirety back then... Brotherhood of Steel on PS2/Xbox upholds this thought.
When Fallout 76 came out and the deep horror I felt when visiting The Glow in FO1 was completely bleached out in favor of "NUKE THE MAP FOR LE EPIC LOOT DROPS"
Yeah idk what they're on about, it uh .. it has a car
Generally yes, though Beth leans heavier on the "spooky scary Chinese commie" angle
