I mean, Megaton was pretty unsightly, but the village had heart. Sure, you might have smiled at the thought that Bethesda had truly lived up to the series’ reputation for choices with awful consequences, but you’d have to admit that you felt just a little guilty. Speaking of atrocities, watching a mushroom cloud expand over the hamlet of Megaton and realizing that you were the one responsible isn’t something soon forgotten. But after leaving Nipton behind, you’ll likely not forget the startling lesson in brutality you learned there. At this point, Caesar’s Legion, those responsible for the atrocity at Nipton, seemed like a distant, idle threat. Talking with one crippled resident, you come to understand that the lottery is nothing more than a dressed up method of decimation with a twist: Everyone in town is sentenced to death, except one who is allowed to live and one who is crippled. But as you turn the corner headed into Nipton’s main street, you realize the horror he escaped.Ĭrucifixes line the road, their victims still writhing before the flames of the ruined town. Fallout is home to some pretty eccentric people, so at first you might just laugh it off and let this lunatic continue on his merry way. When you approach Nipton for the first time, a raving madman runs towards you babbling about winning the lottery. To help you remember, here is a list of some of the greatest moments in the Fallout franchise. But now seems like a better time than ever to look back over the series’ greatest moments in anticipation for what lies ahead. The wasteland has no shortage of things to see, gear to loot and people to kill, and with Fallout 4 gracing our screens this fall, there is no telling what sort of strange, hilarious and morally depraved horrors await us in the rancid streets of Boston. Some are explosive, others are violent and many of them are downright weird. Don’t let decades of visual and mechanical innovations fool you at its heart, Fallout has always been about creating memories. And, in a sense, neither do the Fallout games. If you pay any attention to videogames you’ve probably heard that war never changes.
