Line 251:
** The Mid-Western Brotherhood of Steel, based in Chicago, are a little better in that they interact peacefully with the tribals around them and help them. They are still a fascistic militant group and their 'interaction' is basically a glorified protection racket "for your own good", but they at least seem intent on including outsiders in building a better tomorrow.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: There's a lot of this, whether it be by NPCs or by the main character him/herself, particularly the Chosen One from the second game, provided he/she isn't an [[Hulk Speak|idiot]].
* [[Land of the Shattered Empire]]: The setting of ''Fallout'' is a post-apocalyptic, retrofuturistic United States that exists long after nuclear weapons ravaged the world. There are still plenty of people left, but they have to contend with dangerous mutants, psychotic raiders, the power-hungry remnants of the United States government, and all kinds of other powerful factions vying for dominance over their slice of post-war America.
* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: The [[A Christmas Story|Red Ryder Limited Edition BB Gun]]. It does virtually no damage to enemies... unless you hit them in the eyes, in which case it becomes ''the most powerful weapon in the entire game'' and has a near 100% crit rate, regularly resulting in [[Ludicrous Gibs]] even against [[Demonic Spiders|Super Mutants]] and [[Boss in Mook Clothing|Nightkin]]. It is, however, [[Captain Obvious|useless against enemies that don't have eyes]]. The same BB Gun makes its return in ''Fallout: New Vegas''. The weapon has an extremely high critical damage multiplier and perfect accuracy, and while hidden, with the right perks, its damage output surpasses everything short of an Anti-materiel rifle with a sneak attack critical.
* [[Living Legend]]: By the end of any given game, the protagonist will have been everywhere, met everyone, changed everything for better or worse, and become a legend. Or maybe you just skipped right to the end, because you can do that.
