“If you want to see the fate of democracies, look out the windows.” -Robert House
Fallout is a well known post-apocalyptic role-playing video game series set in post-nuclear war America.
This presentation unpacks the significant lore from the Fallout franchise, including the divergence from our Cold War history to their Great War, the economic challenges of living in a post-apocalyptic environment, and the motivation and goals of every significant faction from Fallout 1 to Fallout 4.
The value of the Fallout franchise is that it can be easily referenced when describing the political realities of our real world. It also demonstrates the value of economics, as the Great War forced the human population to start again from scratch. This is the magic and appeal of earlier Fallout releases, and it is something that has been lost by the newer cash grab abominations. Set against the rich backdrop of the original Fallout lore, this presentation is filled to the brim with valuable information that can be appreciated by any Fallout player.
This video was the most popular presentation on my channel, with the most encouraging messages and emotional comments to date. I’m also proud that I was able to adequately express the vision of a stateless society as an alternative option in the conclusion.
You can listen to me talk at length about Fallout and this presentation in the commentary track.
