Historical Fallout DLC

February 6th, 2009

I may be the only person on the planet who feels this way, but I have absolutely zero interest in historical Fallout scenarios.  I’m mildly curious about the backstory to the game, but it’s really only of interest to me insofar as it explains why the world of Fallout 3 is the way it is.  Reliving Operation Anchorage?  Meh. 

I’ve noticed I have this attitude with respect to movies as well, and it might be tied to the fact that past events have already played out - the player (or reader or watcher) can’t get any really new information out of them that isn’t already reflected in something they’ve already played (or read or watched).  There’s a certain artistic technique to being able to flesh out backstory while avoiding continuity errors, but I’m not particularly interested in the details.  Once you know that Darth Vader is Luke’s traitorous Jedi father, do you really have to see him act out the specifics?

I’m much more interested to see what happens next.
