President John Henry Eden

Spoiler
I know Eden is a computer but I saw through his story right of the bat the way he says he lived in rural Kentucky with a dog before the bombs fell and how he watched the government flee.
How could the wastelanders not see through this especially that Enclave freak in megaton.

Genetic Theapy, or some other advanced technology.

After all, there are humans (non mutant) alive in fallout 3 who WERE around before the bombs

Well technically there are "still" pre-war residents who are still living. Unfortunately, though Braun physically is too frail to ever leave his pod....so....Yes there are still US Citizens alive....though there are no citizens who arn't on life support, that could still coherently remember the "Great War".

Umm, you're forgetting the ghouls. Many of which were born before the war, and remember it very well. As in Carol describing the day of, and weeks after the war to the Vault Dweller..

I think people presumed it was a automate pre-war recording before the Enclave arrived, then I guess they thought Eden was just making stuff up.

I don't think there are 200+ yo non mutant people in FO3. Unless you consider tranquility lane residents alive.

I just realized. How do the wastlanders understand then significance of saying your from rual Kentucky? In are world when we hear that we think all Amarican. But the wastlanders could not even tell you the difference between a New Yorker and a farmer from Wyoming. They just don't know that much about the specifics of pre-war America. So why is Eden talking about Kentucky and why do the wastlanders find it inspirational?

They dont.

They might know there was a state named Kentucky that was part of the East Central Commonwealth but the whole speech is nonsense for then, I seen nobody thinking that Eden speeches were inspirational (besides that old man in Megaton) since the Enclave was not really something they thought that existed before the Enclave shown up.

The thing I find rather odd, is that Eden claims to have grown up in KY, but he sounds NOTHING like anyone who has grown up in the Bluegrass. You would have figured, a "President" who would have grown up near Knob Creek(also home to KY's famous Machine Gun Shoot), would sound more like a Kentuckian and less like he just arrived from England.

I always got the impression that President Eden was far away in some place other than the Capital Wasteland, so it came as a big shock to me that the Enclave was situated in the C.W. President Eden, we should all remember, isn't actually a real person. He's a program, and the Enclave just have him say whatever they damn well want him to say for the radio, so of course there are going to be some mistakes. Let's remember that the folks at the Enclave are not exactly the smartest people in the world, after all, their soldiers are my character's primary source of booze. As for what the Wastelander's think of Eden, I think that some just dismiss it as drivel, but others may take his promises of salvation dear to heart, clinging to any hope they can get.
