Thinking about that fallout 76 ad where like 9 people stand around and watch a ground burst nuke go off like it’s a pretty firework is like. Genuinely upsetting. Not only can I not think of any worse way to reflect the themes of the series, with the opening of Fallout specifying that WWIII only lasted an hour and with it destroyed almost all life on the planet at the hands of nuclear weapons, but it’s also just an irreverent and frankly dangerous way to discuss the most horrible weapons mankind has ever made. It would be different if it were actually some kind of satire, some kind of distinct point being made, but it’s literally just LOOK NUKES COOL and it’s more a re-invigoration of the cold war’s nuclear obsession than it is an indictment of it.
New Vegas: Ends with player traveling The Divide to meet a man that will damn the player for their actions, and uses the old world’s sins: it’s nuclear firepower. The player is then given option to nuke a location, with the implication being that to do so is morally unjust and disgusting. The moral high ground, however, requires great sacrifice, and gives weight to the player’s choice for proper good: to disable the nukes entirely. The words Ulysses leaves parallel’s the serie’s iconic phrase “War never changes” by saying people must change, because to repeat the sins of the past is to doom us to eternal nuclear disaster.
Fallout 76: Players set off three nuclear explosions to fight irradiated skyrim dragons. coUNTRY ROOOOOOOADS TAKE ME HOOOOOOOOOME
