was daydreaming about the next triple a Fallout title and thought of something so stupid that it’s definitely going to happen
ok so it’s definitely going to be “FALLOUT: NEW HAWAII” or something. the very initial developments are going to try to pointedly address tiki tourism of the 1950s and furhtermore the colonialism of Hawaii, but all of that will rapidly fall apart in the development process and the cynical parody will just become genuine tiki culture aesthetic and the plot will become shit. all the different islands are now connected by gigantic scrapwood bridges. there’s going to be one faction that’s the freedom-fighting natives (even tho there’ll be nonhawaiians in it) and one faction that’s the lazy colonizer allegory. then maybe some old faction from an old game, maybe just brotherhood of steel again, and then there’s a ex-vault-dweller island, maybe a vault that was supposed to be like a deluxe resort that had a magma cavein bc it was at the bottom of the volcano, etc. ultra lounge music on the radio. tiki-torch themed melee weapon. your player is called The Castaway because you wake up on the beach of Oahu because they Would Not physically be able to resist that. lazy commentary. puka shell item +5 charisma. put this post in a fucking vault because the next time Todd rolls up with his apocalytic island adventure i want the check
