Talk:Wasteland (game)

From The Vault

[edit] Desslock interviewes Tim Cain (NMA)

Desslock: As a game "from the makers of Wasteland", as your web site indicates, are there any features or other touches in Fallout which veterans of Wasteland will particularly appreciate (other than the obvious similarities in setting)?

Tim Cain: You'll finally be able to see what "exploding like a blood sausage" really looks like. We are violent like Wasteland, and I think we share the same "feel" in the adventure seeds. Remember the boy's dog that you went looking for and found, but it was rabid and you had to shoot it, and the boy hated you? We have seeds like that, seeds that make it tough if you try to be a good guy, seeds that are just plain dark in tone.

Are there any Wasteland references at Fallout 3?--dotz 10:24, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Unknown for now, but I doubt any of the devs played it. Ausir 12:05, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

What about deathclaws? It seems Wasteland references were significant element of Fallout setting. May be this deficit should be described at F3 article or F3 Q&A?--dotz 21:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

The firelance is an obvious reference. The Firelance features prominently in the fake 'decoy' storyline of Wasteland's paragraph books as an alien weapon used by the Martians, and so it is appropriate for a goofy Easter Egg alien weapon.
