Fallout [Action, Sci-Fi] (Page 6 of 6)

Most likely the plant had been sitting there with whatever production was still on the line, ready to go. They're just pulling caps off the bottles are the currency of humanity (for reasons never explained). They were likely running the plant in reverse to get the caps. What confuses me as a game player is the intact bottles of soda are worth far more than the cap that's on them, so they're being remarkably stupid opening and draining them all. But yeah, there's 0 way they were actually making soda there unless there was just a ton of sugar and stuff stockpiled. Which... actually could have been the case, in the games there were a few companies that were smart enough to be stockpiling food and resources.

Also, that wasn't a Nuka Cola factory. That was their competitor Sunset Sasparilla. Nuka Cola and Sunset Sassparilla were the Pepsi/Coke of the Fallout universe.

We got our "Okie dokie"
Can't wait for the bossfight in the next Episode !!

That vault guy with the water, I wish she would've kicked him or something - moron, you have a water shortage and still demand extra water for your stupid group?! We all know they only join for the extra rations...

what is this monster that appeared before the fallout and after?

They're called Deathclaws. Genetically modified squirrels. Insanely fast and strong in the game, they are the biggest and scariest thing that appears in Fallout. Created by the US government and unleashed onto the Chinese when they attacked.

So, everyone believed the strike was inevitable. Food was being produced that was mostly freeze dried microwave meals that would have a shelf life of hundreds of years, stockpiling food and having a home bunker of sorts was just what you did as a middle class american. As far as the power... everything, and I mean everything was nuclear powered in some way. Your car, your radio, it all had a fusion battery. Fusion cores were designed to be those modular little things that power the power armor... one of those can power an entire vault for centuries. They were putting those things in schools, police stations, and other government buildings as prep to ensure infrastructure would remain online in case of a strike. The 1950s built to last mentality was ingrained into people, and exaggerated greatly in Fallout. As far as things not being looted... you should have seen the first game. The nuclear winter was bad, very very bad. The only reason people survived in Vegas and Nevada region was the low rainfall. Which btw is a real thing for nuclear fallout, head to the desert, the less rain the less radiation, period. Cities were targeted specifically during the war, and it's only been within the last 30-50 years that most cities have been... relatively safe to even approach for humanity. People are just barely in the recovering stage since radiation has finally fallen to the point that survival is even much of a thing. Given further issues with wildlife, rad roaches, scorpions, the deathclaw as you've seen, and even bigger problems like the cazadores (winged stinger bugs), nightstalkers (chimera snake dog things that can go invisible), and the massive amounts of feral ghouls, cities aren't exactly safe to just explore. I will give you, this area is the NCR controlled habitable zone, but yeah, walking into an office anywhere in the Falloutverse it's most likely you're the first person there since the bombs dropped. As far as vegetation and wildlife, they were impacted too. That vegetation that's just now returning was nowhere in Fallout 1, which btw, you died guaranteed at the end of because the radiation was so high.

You're not entirely wrong, the BOS MAYBE shouldn't obsess as much as they did in the show, the cores are more common than you'd think. I wouldn't say EVERY police station in the nation got one though, or every school, or every manufacturing building, but enough of them did that they're not entirely uncommon. BUT the BOS has been suffering heavy casualties. The F.E.V. is connected to the super-mutants, whom have been pretty effective at fighting the BOS, not to mention the deathclaws and other stuff that can take out a suit of power armor. So you're not exactly tripping over the power cores in the first place, and the BOS has lost easily hundreds if not thousands of them at this stage of the game. The 'Commonwealth' referred to in the show refers to a BOS faction, I... don't know or remember if they're specifically from the East or if they just borrowed that name. The BOS are very secretive in game, I... don't believe their main location has ever been revealed. The BOS is doing well because they took over multiple Vaults and Enclave Vaults, and were a division of the US Army and started with a lot of weapons and equipment. Those are Fusion Cores btw, not fusion batteries. Fusion batteries powered smaller stuff like radios, cars, and the robots. Cores powered entire buildings.

Still though... they're hampered a lot in actually collecting these cores. Many, many cities in the US are simply still too irradiated to enter. Or like Pittsburgh (known as the Pitt in Fallout 3, which was a location in the DLC) have... some pretty serious cult shit going on. Vegas and Hollywood actually got off pretty easy since House created a missile defense system to protect his shit, especially Vegas which was his home base.

Oh, and the cores are designed to power buildings.... and the suits. But the suits drain them much, much faster. In Fallout 4, the very worst of the Fallout series, you barely got an hour or so out of them. All other Fallouts the suit was powered indefinitely by one. Just another in a long list of reasons why Fallout 4 was so very very lame. But yeah, there was dialogue talking about how power cores would eventually get drained, and... I think I remember you running across a Knight who's core was drained in FNV.
