Fallout: Difference between revisions

**** And then expanded with New Vegas's 'Lonesome Road': if war never changes {{spoiler|then people must.}}

** Dead Money has one too, of course, concerning human greed and how it changes people. Spoiler: {{spoiler|greed is bad.}}

*** Which leads right back to the "Let go of the past" theme.

* [[After the End]]: Nobody knew who fired the first missile that triggered the apocalypse. By the end of the day, nobody cared....

* [[Church of Happyology]]: Hubology. See the trope's page for details.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Used quite a bit. In ''Fallout Tactics'' there is an option so that the offensive words are bleeped out and/or replaced with less offending words.

* [[Cool Shades]]: equipping a pair of these gives a + 1 to Charisma.

** There's also a unique pair of Lucky Shades, which give the wearer a + 1 to [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Luck]].

* [[Identical Grandson]]: Confirmed by [[Fallout: New Vegas]]; the Chosen One from Fallout 2 looks almost exactly the same as his grandfather. And is just as [[Badass]].

* [[Idiot Savant]]: Your character can be mentally retarded to the point of being incapable of forming coherent speech, but can still learn to hack advanced computers and repair complex machinery. Lampshaded by Loxley in the original:

'''Loxley:''' ''Well, "Numa-numah-num-nuhhh", how did a total moron, such as yourself, get past my defenses? Sorry, no idiot savants allowed, we like good conversation here. Jasmine, show our drooling friend the door please.'' }}

* [[I Love Nuclear Power]]: Both subverted and played straight. Most of the wildlife has been hideously mutated by the Forced Evolutionary Virus, which has ''itself'' been mutated by the radiation, which is what results in the weird mutations. This, of course, leads to giant cockroaches, flies, and scorpions, provides ghouls with immunity to radiation poisoning [[Blessed with Suck|and a nasty skin condition]], as well as giving the player character a few perks, rather than premature baldness, brittle bones, sterility, or a slow death. On the other hand, an excess of radiation will kill you and ruin your stats until you deploy the RadAway. Oh, and make you grow an extraneous toe in ''Fallout 2''.
