A few years ago i play so much military game and often play with NATO/US side because the technology of the weapon is more advanced than the “Opfor” side. Since i’m becoming aware with the NATO/US atrocity, i always play with the Enemy side.
There is one simulator game i played a lot back then called Falcon BMS which is a simulator game to fly an F-16 in the Korean War against the Mig and Sukhoi, after understanding about what the NATO/US does, i dont want to play as their side anymore.
Right now i play Arma but always on the Opfor side against the NATO. Fuck NATO and their Capitalism.
Pretty sure that whole “nothing happened” only started after Bethesda bought out the series. That’s also when they moved it to an alternative, US-centric universe (with the first man in space being American, for example). Back in original Fallout, it had a lengthy timeline of shit slowly grinding into hell, until the avarice of the increasingly jingoistic USA had caused a nuclear war.
Bethesda cheapened it all, and basically removed the underlying themes of USian greed.
Ah, I see. That’s disappointing. I might actually go look up some of the original lore since I’m so interested
All I remember is Tel-Aviv getting nuked by Iran couple of decades before the “main event”.
