watch the movie 'The Road' and get back to me again if you think that a post-apocalyptic world would be fun.
At times, during playing Fallout, I have considered how being maybe with someone and just roaming the world, surviving, might be interesting. But, then I just feel sick and messed up for thinking that.
The fact that some of you say 'yes, i would like to live in a wasteland', is disturbing. You realize it would be nothing like Fallout. There will be no mutated animals, only deranged human beings, your neighbors trying to kill you for a scrap of moldy food. You also will likely not have a whole armory of weapons at your expense. You will be cold, hungry, thirsty, the sun for the first decade or so will be blocked out. People will murder, steal and [censored]. Children will be killed for food. If none of that kills you, then the radiation will.
Sometimes our fantasies think that a world like Fallout would be cool in a sense, rebuilding society, being a leader of a new society may be cool, but the reality of it is so dark that we cannot imagine. I encourage you to watch The Road, with Viggo Mortensen, the book by Cormac Mccarthey, in fact, Fallout was sort of based on the book. You will see how a post-apocalyptic life is the end of the world
