Last post by The Brain - Today at 05:06:29 AMQuote from: crazy canuck on February 03, 2026, 05:11:24 PMRight you are, I was thinking deaths. But even then I am off. The death toll of the Russians is closer to that of the Central Powers on the Western Front.
Googling suggests that the Central Powers had about 1.5 million dead on the Western Front.

This is so fucking disgusting, "neutral ground" means putting an = sign between Russia and Ukraine.

Couldn't ICE even be bothered to find some big tough guys to arrest?

Last post by Richard Hakluyt - Today at 03:56:44 AMOne thing that concerns me is that we have small stockpiles of very sophisticated weapons that can only be replaced very slowly. This is great for bullying some third world country, cruise missile to the presidential palace, that sort of thing. But it is not suitable for a prolonged war with Russia.
It seems to me that we should look at mass production of second tier weapons that can be replaced at scale in a prolonged conflict.

Last post by Syt - Today at 02:39:14 AMYeah, that was IMO the weakest so far IMO. Though I have hunch his new friend who was only at the job for a week was probably Enclave (failing that, an insert by Muldaver).

Last post by Syt - Today at 01:38:06 AMFinal episode of Fallout S2.
Overall enjoyed the season, though they could maybe stand to cut down on the separate plot threads a bit - Lucy, Max, the Ghoul, the Vault, Norm, Hank, plus the flashbacks ... sure, the threads merge at times, but it's a bit much for 8 episodes. On the plus side, it keeps the pace up. Thaddeus remains the best 
Johnny Pemberton channels the same energy he had as Bo on Superstore.
SPOILERS:
Thought the climax was less climactic than the previous season's and also a bit rushed - could have used an additional episode, maybe? Or half hour?
Where did the NCR come from now? Also, the fan service with the NCR sniper .... it was so cheesy it made me laugh for a minute or two.
The Deathclaws ... I'm mixed on them. I thought some died too quickly, though they made sure the one-shot kills were to the eyes. Explosives work, too. And in close combat, even with power armor, they're real problems. So I thought they balanced it decently between spectacle action but also not making it too easy? I don't know.
It's unclear what Hank's pushing the button did - he says the real experiment was the surface and people will execute hundreds of years old programming ... who? Surely not everyone (or even a majority) has been chipped?
The Enclave is revealed to be the Big Bad - makes sense to me, I guess. Though in Fallout there never seems to be a stop to the rabbit hole of who is at fault for what and who is the worst. Waiting for the Enclave to be like, "Well actually Mr House/Vault-Tec/the Chinese ... "
We had supermutants teased this season (yay, Ron Pearlman!), so maybe more in next season? Also, we appear to be headed to "new" Fallout territory in Colorado? The Enclave HQ seems to be in a mountainous region. I thought Alaska (would fit Demon in the Snow), but maybe Colorado?
Plus the post credits scene ("Oh yeah, the Brotherhood of Steel chapters were fighting each other!") teases Liberty Prime showing up ... plus, what happens when Legion and NCR meet in Vegas (again again)?
It's still a fun ride that IMHO fits the vibe of the games quite well (though maybe don't try to over-analyze it too much), and I'm looking forward to S3 whenever that comes out.
