NCmedic125 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Anyone else get the feeling that many aspects of the Fallout universe are directly influenced by Warhammer 40K? Seriously: the power armored Botherhood of steel seems really close to Space marines (even the scribes)...In operation Anchorage the chinese used Chimera transports...Combat armor and helm. make your character resemble the imperial gaurd...Outcasts kind = chaos marines...Just wondering if anyone is gett'n that 40K feeling...

OpposingFarce Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Fallout 1 and 2? No, not at all. Fallout 3? I think you really, really, really have to force it to see it. Power Armor? It is more influenced by the original games, and it looks nothing like SM armor. The Chimera tanks are named that because the Chinese took a military weapon and stuck it to a civilian vehicle so they have an ad hoc armored force! They get their name from their mixing of different parts (like the mythical Chimera creature, sort of)! Not the 40k APC. Combat Armor only barely resembles IG Cadian armor. I doubt it was influenced by 40k. You don't need influence to make a simple suit of armor. The Outcasts are not evil like Chaos. Sure, they may have split from a greater force like the original CSM did during the Horus Heresy, but they aren't evil in the slightest. Chaos is evil (doesn't mean I don't like them). Outcasts are more neutral than anything. Just because they are rude to you and don't like you doesn't mean they kill babies. EDIT: Oh, and the Chimera in FO3 isn't a transport. Technically, it is a robot. It isn't manned by a crew at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alguien Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Combat Armor only barely resembles IG Cadian armor. I doubt it was influenced by 40k. You don't need influence to make a simple suit of armor. acording to the "art of fallout 3" book, the combat armor is inspired by the look of US GIs during WW2 with a futurist look BoS doesnt look like the Space Marines at all, the only thing they have in common is power armor, the look of the Scribes is based in the monks of medieval europe(in fact they basically do the same thing) Chimera as OpposingFarce say is based in the mythical creature and is in fact not a transport and yes, the outcast only have one thing in common with the chaos forces, and is they departed from they "brothers" Fallout has less in common with Warhammer 40k than Warhammer 40k has with Starship Troopers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
