another thing: the fact that the default depiction of courier six has them head to toe covered by the ranger armor inherently gives them just a little bit more nonbinary swag than the other protagonists, imo

[whatifsandspheres]

I know I couldn't pick a worse possible time for this sort of First-World type rant, but that just makes it an even better time to do so, actually...

I've had this nagging and chronic complaint brewing in the back of my mind ever since the Fallout franchise was bought up by Bethesda after the collapse of the original company BlackIsle Studios that was formed under Interplay.

At the time it was being ridiculed as the omen of the coming of a "Oblivion with guns! XOMGbbqwtfsauce!!1"

I mean, they were right. But that's not the problem I had with Fallout 3 when it eventually did release. It isn't the problem I have now after the franchise carried on.

When I discovered the game it was already a few years old. I found it in a bargain bin, selling in a bundle pack, one box with two CD cases inside, boasting about being game of the year '98. It was selling in Staples? Or was it Walmart? Either way, back then I even needed to get ink for schoolwork, I think that was the only thing I needed exclusively for school that I couldn't also play games on or music and internet. Even using a scanner you could use for hobby. I was bound to at least catch a glimpse of the game. I became a fan. I loved it.

It echoed for me a sort of honest bleakness in the undertones similar to the sardonic eeriness of the happy upbeat and lighthearted tune playing in the background of an X-Files episode whilst something horrible was going on in the main scene. Except for the theme and setting it was the tune of the "American Dreams" of "normalcy" and the promises of the *new* and promising future, and the main scene was the reality of all the true colors of humanity bleeding through and coming out of the woodwork.

I feel like that was lost in the franchise.

They even developed an online version... Something that the original developers and old fans ridiculed the development of and nicknamed FOOL (FallOutOnLine). I recall rants on the forums about capitalist Frenchmen and horrible labor practices.

But anyway...

What became of the franchise after it was sold off to Bethsoft bothers me because of the direction I felt it was already taking versus what became.

What was becoming was a core body of fans that had been following since the releases of 1&2 and which had pretty much acknowledged those two games distinct from Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel, that was nicknamed POS (Piece of Sh*t). What I agreed with them on was that those two were canon, and that the "secretly" developing Fallout 3 project titled "Van Buren" while in development was their true successor.

I think it's important in times like these to note why that seems to matter to me. Why it matters to history in media, pop-media even or niche culture if you have to diminish what it's speaking about society. In that FO3 the main character isn't in a vault. They aren't a "Vault Dweller," or even a direct descendant or relevantly related of the "Vault Dwellers." They begin in a prison jumpsuit that resembles a Vault jumpsuit, but that's intentionally a reference to the other two games in the series. In the first the main character originates from Vault 13, in the second they're a descendant from the outcast from that same vault as well as some people from Shady Sands-- what eventually becomes the New California Republic under Aradesh's Sandy. Do you recognize the trend or direction? A pattern? Away from the culture of Vaults and the old world's entitlement, hubris and Yankee-Doodle gung-ho "sign me up for a World War" attitude.

When Bethsoft picked it up they clung to the Vault like it was the only thing that held the wasteland together. They needed and hoisted up the Vault Dweller to an elite status, almost like a purebred human superior in caste to the outsiders. Something Lynette in Vault City and even Richard Grey/The Master have in common-- much like the real world white supremacists, American Exceptionalists, and Adolf Hitler. They really went all-in with that whole cliche of "Oblivion with guns" and turned Vault Dwellers into the equivalent of "Pure Elves" or something.

And that's fine, right? It's fiction. It's for fun!

But is it so innocent?

To me it reflects something in society, a Zeitgeist that echoes the Baby-Boomer entitlement of wanting to be special, chosen, having a birthright to something that excuses class divisions and superiority. Something that's clearly visible in society now even in people who don't care about these games and have never heard of them, because those games borrowed from real history and society, and the undertones have evolved in a different manifestation than they were headed... It's... A bit disheartening.

In society the yearning need for people to feel a sense of security and normalcy even while genocides are occurring is like the fiction of "I Love Lucy" playing in the background while hundred of barrels of DDT corrode and leak off the coast of California in the real world; like the Andy Griffith Show intro whistling in the background while police and military spending increase and another civilian or journalist is brutally murdered or disappeared in a "democratic society." The smiles on the clothing commercials while microplastics tangle up and break people's intestinal lining, the doctors throw their hands up and prescribe them more drugs and double check the patient's insurance coverage before-- wait, they smoked cigarettes in their offices before, not anymore, right?

But the games? Turned that so gimmicky and kitschy. Where before they were one of the few available critiques in media about this social sickness they became little more than reiterations of other stories already out there in science fiction and other media, but with an extra thick layer of the Fallout 1&2 intros painted over their billboard. So quirky! So alternative! So... Fantasy. Such escapism.

So sad. And not in the ways that felt so much more real in the original two.

I know New Vegas was attempting to bring the game back to its roots but the damage has pretty much been done and... It doesn't matter much anyway, the real world is horribly worse than anything the games could have devolved into at their worst anyway. I just wish there were more well-structured critiques of this living nightmare than there really are. Instead everyone's just striving to secure a slice of that Quotidian Boomer-Normalcy.

How to get audio files from FO3 and FONV— easy, nontechy with pics

Luckily, the fallout.gamepedia will usually show which folder the character’s voicelines are in and the specific file for each line. You can copy/paste into the search bar to find the line you want. Hiya! Since I’ve been less active here and can’t always take requests, I’ve finally decided to sit down and make a tutorial on how to extract voicelines from the games yourself. You’ll need the base game, the FOMM (link) and maybe this .ogg adapter program (link), but I’ll explain how and why. I’m working with Windows, so I’m sorry if any of this incompatible with Mac.

The Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM) (link) is a program that can do all kinds of cool stuff, but I use it to view and download game files. Download it from nexusmods; it has an easy setup. You can still use nexusmodmanager alongside it, so don’t feel obligated to actually use it as a mod manager. The first screen running FOMM asks which game you want to manage; choose the game you want to extract the files from. 

Next is the main screen. What you want is under the Tools tab at the top, then BSA Browser. 

Clicking this will open this window: 

Next you’ll want to open the voices file. All of FO3/NV’s voice lines are in a .bsa file in the Data folder of the main folder for the game. FOMM should open right up to the Data folder, but that’s where it is jic. The file you’ll want to open for most voicelines are Fallout-Voices.bsa . 

And you’ll have this:

Here’s where you have to find what you want. You can open up the folders on the left side to try and search for it, but the names are pretty vague/unclear (thanks Todd)

Luckily, the fallout.gamepedia wiki will usually show which folder the character’s voicelines are in and the specific file for each line. You can copy/paste into the search bar to find the line you want. 

However, note, some character’s dialogues are in two folders and unmarked and a bit a treasurehunt to find. The next best place to look is the Fallout-MenuVoices.bsa in the Data folder, especially for Followers. Just advice and forewarning.

When you’ve found what you want, you can extract it. Warning, Extract all will extract the whole .bsa file, not just what’s being previewed (also apparently you cannot stop this process once it starts, I just learned). Instead you can select whatever you want (using shift and pagedown is the best method for large folders), and just hit extract. Save it whereever you want, and you’ve got the lines!

But hold up, you might have to make accommodations to make it work. First, you’ll notice that each .ogg file is paired with a .lip file— the actual sound file is .ogg. .lip is, fun fact, the file that determines the mouth movement for that line. I usually delete all of the .lip files that get extracted, I don’t need them. 

But, most computers don’t have the appropriate program to play .ogg files. To get the file to play with Windows Media Player, download this little program (link). You’ll want the download highlighted in the pic below. It has a really simple setup wizard.

You’ll have to do more digging if you’re using a different audio player, although a mac user I sent a .ogg file to was able to play it without programs. Just be careful about what you download.

From there, you should be able to open the audio files with Windows Media Player. And there you go! Your favorite character’s dialogue for your personal listening pleasure. For audio posts, I usually use Audacity (link) to edit and convert the files to mp3. 

Message me if you have any questions, problems, or can’t seem to find what you need. Happy Hunting!

So this was fun. I found (and promptly downloaded) all the .jpg files from a story I wrote back in 2014-2015 set in the Capitol Wasteland of Fallout 3. A young wastelander gets conscripted to track down a man who recently escaped from Vault 101. It’s a variation on the original FO3 story, but this time the man’s son gets killed before the story begins, and our hero gets picked up as either a witness or the perpetrator. The Regulators, the only law in the CW, tell her in no uncertain terms that if she doesn’t do what they want, she won’t live much longer. The series ran for a couple of years until my gaming PC had some kind of system problem and quit running FO3. I’d hoped to finish the full story but never was able to. I could pick up where it left off, but all the save files are gone and I’d have to recreate the entire story and all the mods.

Concept Art Studies

1. This piece of concept art is very good at showing how the creature will move and how its biological joints and bones work together with its mechanical parts. - http://nerdist.com/neon-genesis-evangelion-celebrates-20-years-with-new-art-book/

2. I like how in this image the artist would have had to give great thought to nuclear mutation as too much would begin to look too horrific for the humans in the world to consume and survive off and too little would leave the creatures looking too familiar. - http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-09/fo3-creatures.html

3.  I think this piece is great at showing how complex creatures would look in motion. Every drawing has natural movement despite the very abstract designs. - http://evangelion.wikia.com/wiki/Zeruel/Gallery

4.  I love this piece of concept art from FFXV. It has a lot of presence and activity. There is something interesting to look at on every part of the piece and lots of context about the world can be gathered by the way it is drawn. The artist is clearly showing us an expensive, futuristic, fantasy city with different segments that look as though they have unique functions. - http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/05/18/26-pieces-of-gorgeous-final-fantasy-xv-concept-art-ign-first

5.  This piece works very well in showing a clear distinction from a large cast. We can clearly see a lot of different sizes, body shapes and looks which all seem to hint at a wide range of character. The drawings are clean but simple. - http://evangelion.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cast_heights.png

6.  I like the functionality of this piece. The artist has given great thought to the amount of active frames that appear in his animation. Too many or little and the character and the move would become to weak or strong thus unbalancing the game. - http://blazblue.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Concept_Artwork?file=Bullet_(Concept_Artwork,_26).png

7.  This piece is from Marvel Vs Capcom. I like how the artist in this piece has merged 2 universes seamlessly. With Marvel being a western comic company and Capcom a eastern games company their styles are vastly different however the artist has made their interaction seem natural and found a style that works for both western and eastern styles. - https://kotaku.com/5919522/the-most-amazing-collection-of-marvel-vs-capcom-art-the-world-has-ever-seen/
