SpinelessGhoul Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Ever since the first Fallout was released in 1997, it was called "the spiritual ancestor of Wasteland." I grew up with the original Wasteland and it's what got me hooked on the Fallout franchise (yes, I'm old). Since then, I have loved picking out Wasteland homages (intentional and coincidental) found inside the series. If we stick just to Fallout 3, the references to Wasteland include: (Reilly's) Rangers, Brick's reference to turning muties into "thin red paste" and the bomb worshippers in Megaton - referencing Servants of the Mushroom Cloud. Anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach42 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hey, I'm a huge fan of the retro title Wasteland. I know that deathclaws are direct references to shadowclaws. The BB guns, specifically the red ryder (not sure if they are in Fallout 3, but I think they are) is also found in Wasteland. Oh, and when Three Dog mentions on GNR radio that his toaster has been on the fritz and that the lone wanderer should fix it for him, it references the toaster repair skill back in Wasteland.It's always good to see a Wasteland fan like myself, cheers!
