  • It gets even weirder in terms of game mechanics. High strength and no armor is kind of an unusual combination. Barbarians and bards (buff or otherwise) both typically wear armor. As do fighters, rangers, rogues, clerics…

    Wizards and sorcerers don’t but also don’t usually benefit much from strength. (Not to mention that bard is a strange multi for either.)

    Conclusion: Terry as pictured is clearly a monk/bard.


  • Honestly the Brotherhood is fine (if not their portrayal) given that they were in all the Interplay games as well. And the plot of Tactics was specifically about them expanding eastwards. The Enclave existing after Fallout 2 is complete bullshit, though.

    If anyone wants a concrete example of the rebuilding point, Shady Sands is a podunk middle of nowhere village that is likely the first place you’ll visit outside of Vault 13 in FO1. It consists of purpose-built houses that are nicer than anything in FO3 despite the latter taking place more than a century later. By FO2 it is a fully-fledged city that seems like a genuinely pleasant place to live, and that’s still decades before FO3.
