I saw a video in which some characters of the Fallout tv show open a fridge and find an alien and just toss it out because they want the working fridge. I’ve never understood (or really bothered with) why Fallout had the nuclear “event” which triggered the use of the shelters. Was it an alien invasion?

      Yes. Though it didn’t happen initially. It just developed over time with that game and after a point I couldn’t play a single minute without feeling nauseous.

        … How have you managed to play literally any other game then? It had decent graphics for 2015 and holds up ok today. If it looks that bad to you I can’t imagine you’re able to play anything but the most pristine AAAA games.

          I’ve played Skyrim twice over. I’ve finished GTA Vice City. I’ve finished the first God of War. I’ve finished Far Cry… 4? The Nepal one.

          Don’t act smart.

            Okay but Skyrim looks worse than Fallout 4, and Vice City looks like that. I guess I’m just even more surprised now that Fallout 4 supposedly made you nauseous if you could handle those other games.

            When you say “first God of War” do you mean 2018 or the actual first one on PS2?

          That’s what I’m thinking. OP might be some 180 mhz, 120 fps, whatever overclocking to get the most out of the game type of person. Which is fine, but when it holds you back from enjoying a large percent of all video games ever released, it’s a little ridiculous.

          ETA: in fact I just did a couple-hundred-hour playthrough a couple months ago and it looked fine. A little muddy cause it’s like 11 years old now, but it still looks good imo. The stylization really helps to make it not look as dated. Also I used a shitload of power armor mods cause I wanted to be a collector of exotic armors. My favorite is probably the NCR PA based on the one from the show.
