America won; The remaining Chinese held cities are smoldering craters, America may be crippled but it still lives and even would have gotten a second strike in if not for a bleeding heart liberal.
Not really, everyone lost
But it's implied china got fricked, proper fricked, totally and unbelievably fricked
They were losing conventional warfare, did nukes as a last resort and destroyed the world, with themselves being reduced to one massive glowing crater
My takeaway was that America was finally starting to crush China conventionally and was months away from controlling pretty much every major Chinese population center anywhere near the coast. However America was also falling apart internally and the occupation of China would have been ruinous enough to spark another civil war if the Chinese didn't flip the table with nukes to begin with.

the President in Fallout2 says they nuked China back to the stone-age. depending on how much water current Fallout holds for you, FO76 introduced some stuff that implies that a Chinese Enclave equivalent exists and is doing basically what the US Enclave is doing.
one of the cancelled games pre-Bethesda had you go to China and you find that the Taiwanese reclaimed the mainland and crowned a new Emperor, who was trying to nuke the US again to destroy the BoS

but i guess most people don't really grasp just how shit life was in russia and the former soviet states after the break-up. instead they subscribed to the idea of love, peace and harmony brought by the end of the cold war. the sovshits being defanged and happily joining the western way of life but not completely stripped naked and b***hmade
There will never be a sino american war.
There will be a china philipines war this year or next with philipines supported and armed by the free world. It will eliminate the chinese navy, escalate and create the ATO alliance that will bomb china to dust, followed by and ATO-UN invasion, occupation and dismemberment of the country in the second global war against fascism. Tibet and Xinyang will be free and the remainder will be split in 4. China's genocides, concentration camps and war crimes will be laid bare. The US will never fight directly but via proxies.
I still wonder, what made them choose China instead of Russia back at a time when Russia was still seen as the big bad and China as a growing backwater?

Because none of that is true. China had been on the rise for years and the handover of Hong Kong was happening as the game was in development, the rising red dragon sentiment was honestly higher then than now. Russia on the other hand was facing such massive poverty that children willfully prostituted themselves for food and were so broke that they were attempting to trade BMPs for shipments of milk powder. Idk how widespread this was across the US, but in some affluent places (particularly Christian) it was fashionable in the 90s for childless professionals to adopt Russian orphans, in the same way its fashionable for lefty gays to volunteer in Africa today. I guess this kinda shit is lost to time if you weren't there, but nobody was particularly worried about Russia in the 90s, or at least the concern was for humanitarian reasons rather than military.

I’m having a blast playing as a 1 IQ grug, meatmashing my way across the Wastes, the low-intelligence dialogue fits the character perfectly. Just max out strength, endurance, and luck.

I love the original aesthetic of the combat armor. Has a ton of personality and manages to nail the look of what 2077 retro armor would look like. Just needs more ammo pouches and it'll be perfect.
Bethesda forgot that Fallout is post-apocalyptic, not apocalyptic and I'll never forgive them for it.

>chinks tried to take the moon from us
they deserved the nukes
America lost that war unironically though.

It's not implied - in Mothership Zeta, China is a literal glowing crater when seen from space.
Isn't that just light from the sun? Its right where a reflection would be relative to the light source.

It’s a shame we never got a resource wars game

Don't encourage them.

with the leaps and bounds FEV research has made, that won't be an issue for much longer
Anon the Chinese are already bug people. FEV might make that an uncomfortable reality

You don't suppose the USSR already having collapsed a decade prior wasn't also a factor? But yeah, 90s Russia was a hellscape.
more like 5-6 years before.

Fallout release
>1997
Collapse of the USSR
>1991
Anon, Russia has been a hellscape since the rise of the age of Rurik...and that was an actual improvement.
You obsess over Russia so much
the russia is loosing
Losing so much, you gotta remind yourself about it 20 times a day.
Counting down is a better description.

Are there any New Vegas mods that make Unarmed less shitty and unfun?

Just grab boxing tape.
What? Unarmed is extremely satisfying and powerful. With turbo you can kill anything in seconds.
sort of hard/unintuitive to get to the point of being OP as frick. attacking a group of enemies in the open having shitty armor and stats sucks ass
Unpopular opinion, I like the T-60 series of power armour.
And I like the most powerful PA loadout so far.
I love the original aesthetic of the combat armor. Has a ton of personality and manages to nail the look of what 2077 retro armor would look like. Just needs more ammo pouches and it'll be perfect.
Combat armor in Fallout 4 looks like complete ass
Fallouts combat armor is almost as iconic as its power armor.
T-60 is ass and the lore attached to it is moronic.
Bethesda forgot that Fallout is post-apocalyptic, not apocalyptic and I'll never forgive them for it.
Obsidian did really well with what they were given. The reloading bench was the most fun I ever had with crafting and making bubbas pissing hot loads
To be fair the people making NV didn't want it post-apocalyptic either.
It was a point of disagreement between Sawyer (who "supports" the rebuilding of civilisation) and Avellone who wanted people to return to destitution for some reason. Sauce is Sawyers stream of FNV up on youtube

Everything not Enclave is for gays and broke ass gays
525 years of salary-pilled
I don't know who will be president then, but the Republican perennial candidate Trump will still be crying that the election was stolen from him.
Dude would be dead. Wtf are you blabbing about?
Why didn't Bethesda hire the guys who did the F4 opening cinematic to make the TV show instead of what we're actually getting?
