Cannibalism actually gives an incredibly tiny amount of negative karma.  Everyone still thought I was the bees knees, even after eating most of Big MT's test subjects.

...not sure how one eats a skeleton in a spacesuit, but my mad scientist found a way.

Yeah the Powder Gangers make sense to me.
Dunno about the Fiends, they seem as monstrous as the Legion.  Just more inept.  I mean, they're all about the rape too, they just aren't a state-spanning empire of it.

They're not all about rape, it's just one of the things they happen to do. The Legion on the other hand is all about rape...and slavery...and suppression of dissidents...and violence in general...and in addition to these physical evils also just about every vile mental vice imaginable, militancy, ludditeism, ultranationalism, sexism, a cult of personality, cultural chauvinism...

That's right, Fiends aren't just about rape, they're also about cannibalism and drug abuse!

Let's not forget burning people alive for sport, that's the most important part.

The legion or the Fiends? They both burn people alive.

From what I understand of the lore, the Legion is only heartlessly brutal upon conquest or when crushing rebellions. Their MO seems to be to keep the most effed up people on the front lines where their violent and sadistic outbursts can be used to terrify the populace into submission, while maintaining the "pay taxes and we won't give two shits" strategem the real roman empire used in the conquered areas with a bit of cultural assimilation thrown in.

Their actual conquered lands are supposedly peaceful and people live mostly ordinary lives in them (albeit relying on slavery more than machines for labour). Buuuuuuuuut you don't really see this in the actual game because it was cut out, so you have to trust the dialogue.

I seriously wish Obsidian made a DLC that takes place in legion-occupied land. Instead of Honest Hearts preferably. Because that'd at least make Legion seem less cartoonishly evil and by gods did we not need a tale of canadian tribals.

Zion Canyon is actually located in Utah, unless one of the tribal groups in HH is from Canada and I was somehow unaware.

[KingofstarrySkies]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH CANADIANS, ANYWAY? [/joke]
no but really i genuinely want a DLC or something set in Canada ;~;

Yeah. I think one of the groups was partly descended from german tourists, but I don't remember any of them being canadian

Whatshisface the guide sounds canadian (eh?) so them being canadian tribals is my headcanon.

There is no Canada. There is only the United States of America. There never was a Canada. Canada is not even a thing. You are imagining things. You are under the influence of communist propaganda. Report to your nearest police station for further instructions.

Anyway, seeing how FO4 moves the setting a bit northward, perhaps one of the DLCs for it might explore that?

[Shadowlord]

Didn't the US invade canada for the oil or something?

[KingofstarrySkies]

Annexed. FO1 or 2 had Canadian Rebels attack you when you got to the north of the map. I really want to go there.
Besides, Toronto I believe still exists. Referred to as 'Ronto' I think?

That would be nice. Considering they give you a helicopter, the limits on where they can shove DLC just got a whole lot smaller... Hell, they might have you go to DC or something.

The US moved soldiers through Canada to get to Alaska. After Canada started getting angry, they just conquered Canada.

[Aseaheru]

The oil probably helped a little, but the official reason was stuff about "securing our supply lines to the troops in Alaska"

Least, thats what the newspaper talks about

[KingofstarrySkies]

Didn't, you know, stop Canada from being pissy. Shame nukes happened. Of course, that makes me think there was DEFINITELY some Canadian vaults. Or something similar.

[Gabeux]

Yeah, in FO3 there are posters and loading screen images that talks about the invasion of Canada.

I'd love that. I remember how I liked in GTA4 (I think?) when you have a mission in Liberty City, near the mafia house from GTA3. The nostalgia overloaded me back then.

And playing FO3 again, I notice how I probably didn't explore the whole map on my first playthrough years ago, and that pisses me off because I had so much free time back then. There's even a location called "Bethesda Ruins" and so many amazing silly stuff I don't remember exploring.
Last time I played I also found Dogmeat, who likes to attack Deathclaws and facetank them, yet he dies for a Mole Rat. I don't get it.

Back then I also didn't understand/notice how the level balancing mechanics worked. Now I notice that there are places I can instakill Talon Mercenaries, and places where it takes a full AR clip to their head in order to kill them.
