  1. Three Dog will also say sometimes that he plays the songs he does because they're the only ones he could find in good enough condition, so there's that too. The song 'Butcher Pete' is actually just the first half of the real song.
  2. Because in the Fallout universe, American society never really moved out of how it was in the 1950s. Basically, Fallout's America in 2077 was how people in the 50s would have thought the future would be like. So, while there's sentient robots, laser guns and nuclear-powered cars, there's no such thing as the internet, no Vietnam War or Watergate, etc. It's just easier to use 1940s songs in the game than to make up a new song in that style from a 1965 where there's no widespread hippie/antiwar movement, or a 1994 where rap was never invented.
  3. How difficult is it? I'm specifically wanting to bring over the Blade of Olympus mod.
  4. Don't do that, seriously. It's armor, it's supposed to protect you, and women's guts are just as vulnerable to blades, bullets and beams as men's are. That's one of the best things about Fallout, that it doesn't put women into foolish non-protective armor for the sake of being 'sexy'.
  5. Evil is lame for two reasons. First, because it's too easy to be good. Take the water beggar outside Megaton for an example. In the 'real world' giving him pure water would be a good act not just because you helped him, but because you gave up pure water to do so. Self-sacrifice and all that. It's broken because the Wanderer doesn't need to drink, no matter how much running across the Wastes in the middle of the day he does. And even if you do give away all your pure water and force yourself to drink dirty water, Rad-Away is so common and you can carry an infinite amount/go see the doctor who has infinite Rad-Away in exchange for a few measley caps, radiation isn't a threat at all. Second, following from that, since being good is so easy, you have to want to be evil/be doing evil for kicks. Like blowing up Megaton being the first non-story quest you can get. The worst you can be in the Vault is a snarky jackass (even killing the Overseer is treated as misguided heroism), but you stroll out and decide to murder a whole town because...? Since you have to be trying to be evil, Fallout 3's 'Evil' is just psychopathy, not self-interest.
  6. They never existed in the Fallout world. :P
  7. Just finished O:A, but I don't want to short-circuit "Gotta Shoot Em In The Head". Can I leave and come back to get the T-51b later?
  8. I downloaded a mod months ago that added a bunch of little flavor notes around the Wasteland. It wasn't "A Note Easily Missed" because it didn't add any new areas or plots, just flavor notes. The only note I recall really well was some remains of math homework in a classroom in the Springvale School.
  9. I imagine that's there so you lose karma for following Gustavo's order to just go kill the ghouls.
