FALLOUT WEEK, Day 4 - Scariest scene/moment

Alternative Fallout 1 Ending: Telling the supermutants the location of your Vault

This wasn’t funny at all. Fallout 1 has the ability to scare the shit out of you: whether through Ron Perlman’s voice or through scenes like this. When I accidentally chose the option to become a supermutant I did not fucking expect them to show me how almost each and every person in the Vault was killed, I did not expect this.

Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas may have better graphics, but this old game managed to scare me over and over again - more than these two games, to be honest. Except Dead Money.

Find food at the Super-Duper Mart 

Contract radiation sickness 

Another fault in the original MM was that they were a standing army with no one paying them. So half-ish of the people were there for beliefs and the other half were just mercenaries looking for payment. The second they didn’t have a huge bounty from killing raiders things started to fall apart.

Preston doesn’t make that same mistake the second time around. When he asks you to recruit people, you are sent to recruit settlers. People who have an active investment that the Minutemen succeed.

You are more likely to help Joebob’s farmstead if it gets attacked because Joebob is between you and dangerous areas. Also, because Joebob will come and help you because ya’ll on the same team. 

Preston’s training the farmers to be their own minutemen and has comparatively small groups(to the original MM) being the wandering patrols. I guarantee these patrols also are a form of a supply line and supplemental defense when needed.

I don’t know about you, but I would certainly buy into a system where it only costs me a couple percent of food and then all my neighbors can help me when I need it + I get trained to properly build defenses and fight for my own land.
