    My biggest takeaway was: I’m surprised how possibly common trans-oceanic travel is after the Great War. I’d thought the oceans and seas would be completely empty and impossible to cross.

    The Philippines is mentioned by the newscaster on the Sole Survivor's TV during the Fallout 4 intro sequence, specifically the small island municipality of Mambajao. They mention how a US infantry regiment is deployed there and alludes to the Philippines being invaded at some point by Chinese forces, but being met with strong resistance by the Americans. It's easy to miss since they don't mention the country by name, but I was really pleasantly surprised to hear my country being referenced when I first played the game all those years ago.

Bits of the metal tower that held the bomb fused with sand and copper wiring to create trinitite. It was actually sold in pieces of jewelry for a while until its negative health effects became more understood.

    Just a note about the mentions of Australia. Australian Shepherds are not actually from Australia at all. The breed originated in Texas from one particular dog breeder and rancher in the 1800s and quickly spread across the rest of the united states because of their popularity as herding dogs, particularly across the western coast and the rockies.
    Their origin breed isn't from Australia either, but from Spain, as their main genetic contribution is the Basque shepherd. The reason they got the name "Australian" is because they had blue mearle hues similar to imported dog breeds from Australia. This blue hue is also where they get alternative, and much more correct name of Blue Heelers.

    We used to use USSR and Russia interchangeably when talking about them during the cold war, not even differentiating between the different states in the USSR, just calling them all Russian. Further, many maps detailed the different states which made up the USSR long before the collapse, typically with USSR (rarely spelled out) in larger letters over the middle, much like you'll see a world map with United States in bold, then smaller letters for the states. So I wouldn't nitpick over a potential collapse.

    I'm really not sure how power armour was supposed to counter tanks in the lore. Power Armour is incredibly slow compared to the mobility of modern day tanks and when you factor in the penetrative power of modern tank rounds it begs the question of how could power armour resist a square shot to the body? Also this is way in the future with, like everything in the fallout universe, tanks being nuclear powered, giving them potentially a lot more speed and armour than the tanks of today. You can even see tanks in Fallout 4 and they're massive compared to a suit of power armour with twin guns that look to be well over 100mm. It's so dumb lol.
    Edit: A tank can outrange some dude in power armour with a fat man by like a kilometre

    • @kotzpenner

      The only plausible answer would be to traverse difficult terrain, while tanks can't really travel in steep hills, mountains and dense forests, PA can because of their smaller footprint. Also I guess it was an economic decision between having 10 dudes in PA versus 1 tank. In this calculation it would be actually feasible.

    In the original Fallout, Aradesh, the leader of Shady Sands (which became the core of the NCR) is at least partially Indian (which is why he mentions the concept of Dharma). This makes his daughter and NCR president Tandi to be Indian too (at least partially).
    Katja, also in Fallout 1, is likely ethnic Russian (given her name, a German spelling of Katya, short for Katerina).
    Speaing of the weapons (and considering Fallout Tactics canon):
    - The main assault rifle in FO1, FO2, AK-112 is likely made in Russia, too (which suggests friendly US-Russia relationships in 2070s)
    - Besides the Gauss guns and the Vindicator, German weapons mentioned are ones by Heckler & Koch (MP9 10mm and G11(e), CAWS shotgun, L30 Gatling laser), Mauser (M/96 in Fallout 1/2 and Fallout Tactics). In FOT there's also vintage MP38 from the WW2 era and Walther MPL.
    - extremely rare XL70E3 rifle in FO2 and FOT is British
    - FN FAL is another Belgian weapon. FN P90 SMGs are too, although in FO1 and FO2 the H&K makes are more common.
    - Glock 86 plasma pistol is made by Austrian company. SIG-Sauer (creators of the 14mm pistol, and of P220 9mm pistol in FO:T) is a Swiss-Austrian company.
    - Desert Eagle was originally produced by an Israeli company. Another Israeli weapon mentioned is UZI SMG (although the name is incorrectly applied by the FO2 characters to H&K MP9).
    - Another Italian weapon is Beretta 9mm M9FS pistol
    - Scorpio SMG (in FOT) is Czechoslovak.

Got to get a good DJ for that, along the lines of Mr. New Vegas being played by Wayne Newton. Automotive Manufacturing paralleling on topics of automation replacing traditional human jobs in Fallout you could say Mr. Handy's or protectrons were those replacements. Organized crime morphing into some sort of high-class Raider gang. An organization of postwar Canadian mounties less like the Minutemen and more like Reilly's Rangers. I love the idea of a hockey stadium that had a state-of-the-art automated indoor weather control that has since malfunctioned and turned this surrounding area into a icy wonderland. Even an Easter egg quest line making heavy references to the RoboCop movies would be fun. If any Fallout deserved to be the introduction of useable vehicles it would be Detroit post-war versions of 1950 hot rods and funny cars would make for an interesting culture for the main city and raiders. Lol I think I'm I little too enthusiastic about this idea.
