In the Fallout world, that is how science works. It's not real science. I mean, come on, FEV? Ghouls? Those make a lot of sense. (sarcasm)2718 said:Okay scratch the aliens. Still, space missions. Earth is fucked, yet some pockets of humanity obviously still possess the tech to launch space missions. I say start fresh. Also, removing all the violations of physics would be nice (atmospehric plasma weapons, humanoids big as buildings still able to walk, visible laser beams etc.).ChupathingyX said:Aliens were a joke, that has been said. Pretty much all the pop culture random encounters in Fallout 1/2 were jokes. Is King Arthur and the knights of the round table part of the Fallout universe? What about Star Trek? A talking stone head? The old man from scene 24? Spammers?2718 said:The very objective of the Vaults was to study the effects of long term isolation on small human communities. Often times something was sabotaged to see what the effects were. All this was done IN ORDER to know how to launch a viable "Space Ark" for "pure humans" if Earth proved uninhabitable after a total annihilation scenario. The Enclave even had a ship built.darth.pixie said:I always thought it was supposed to be considered a joke...like the armour for mounts in Oblivion. I ...didn't think anyone even liked that one.ChupathingyX said:Dear god, no!2718 said:*More aliens (Space Missions? The Enclave lost their ship but maybe the Chinese had something up their sleeve?)
Aliens were never surpossed to be part of the Fallout lore, they were just a joke. Then Bethesda had to go and make an entire DLC based around them.
Are we to suppose they're all part of the fallout universe too?
The laws of physics will cowtow to the rule of cool.
