Managing the Wasteland

I haven’t watched the new Amazon Prime series Fallout yet, but I’m caught up in its hype.

Fallout, for those who don’t know, is a video game series by Bethesda Studios. My particular favorite version of Fallout is Fallout 4. As you might guess from the title, it’s a open world narrative set in a post-nuclear time. It’s a grimy setting, full of radiated creatures and dilapidation. Like other Bethesda games like Skyrim, there is a main story line of sorts, but the fun is mostly in deciding exactly what type of quests and adventures you want to take part in. Do you want to play as a moral character, protecting those you deem innocent? Do you just want to run around with a shotgun blasting radroaches? Do you just want to collect as much loot as possible?
