I saw a video in which some characters of the Fallout tv show open a fridge and find an alien and just toss it out because they want the working fridge. I’ve never understood (or really bothered with) why Fallout had the nuclear “event” which triggered the use of the shelters. Was it an alien invasion?


Thank you for the explanation. As for the games and show - I have played Fallout 4 but the mandatory garish graphics made me pukish and I left the game at about 25% done. Never went back to it. Felt very stupid that they would choose to make the graphics bad as a theme of the game when I was playing on the Xbox One, specially when a lot of people report that the game makes them pukish.
As for the show… the no nose guy creeps me out. That’s why I didn’t bother with the show.
Hold on, are you saying that poor graphics fidelity makes you actually want to puke?
Yes. Though it didn’t happen initially. It just developed over time with that game and after a point I couldn’t play a single minute without feeling nauseous.
You’re holding yourself back from some great storytelling and worldbuilding all because you don’t like the look of the graphics. I’ve literally never heard anyone say they feel nauseous from playing any Fallout game.
Also, you’d find the ghouls from any of the games before FO4/the show extremely discomforting if you didn’t like how The Ghoul looks in the show.
In lore, ghouls are insanely irradiated and mutated humans to the point they basically literally turn into leprous zombies. They’re functionally immortal, radiation heals them kinda like Wolverine (that one may be a bit of a retcon), and a lot of them lose their minds from the whole ordeal and go “feral.” In Fallout 3 in particular, there’s a location that’s populated entirely by ghouls and you can ask them what it’s like. At least one of them goes into detail about what it felt like when their face-skin peeled off, along with their nose.
Again, you’re really holding yourself back from enjoying a fantastic universe, but you do you.
Fair about the tv show. But the game made me nauseous and a few google searches did show me that others felt it too. I wanted to do finish the game. But I physically couldn’t.
Oh well.
Also, yeah I’m not a fan of the zombie genre in general.
