"TheJukku posted: I get that, but where are the wastelanders getting the common church latin version? I thought half of them were illiterate, and the other half still weren't familiar with Julius Caesar. Which is kind of the point of why he chose the Caesar's Legion thing in the first place.

As far as familiarity with old world terms/names/ideas goes, regular folks in the Mojave Wasteland are Rhodes Scholars compared to the tribals Caesar encountered when he went east. Even if wastelanders don't know anything about Julius Caesar, the name "Caesar" or "Cesar" could be passed along pretty easily in some form. People today use plenty of names and phrases without actually understanding where they came from or what they mean."

"In the core game I also had designers hide mines under (usually NCR) corpses or aim one trap at another (much worse) trap."

"They weren't arbitrary. The collision volumes are at the edges of the playable world (as they are in F3) and in areas where visibility or navigation were particularly problematic. It's true that we could have avoided putting some of those collision volumes in if we had planned the world with those visibility issues in mind from day one, but that wasn't logistically possible given the time we had with the engine."

"The Bright Followers are scattered because REPCONN was overrun by super mutants and feral ghouls. They wandered into the wasteland and died, conveniently, where you might stumble across them.

Plasma defenders are set to spawn on their corpses when you're 8th+ level. Prior to that, they drop laser pistols, plasma pistols, and (I think) occasionally a recharger rifle."

"No. Each tribe in Honest Hearts consists of one mixed race. The White Legs got their name from living near the Great Salt Lake. They also cover themselves primarily in pale body paint."

"I should say that I totally understand why the majority of people side with Joshua. When I wrote the characters and presented the conflict, I knew then that the majority of people would side with Joshua. Daniel's viewpoint has a large amount of additional weight if you share his basic beliefs about Christian salvation. If you don't, people usually perceive the value of their "innocence" as minor (or even negative).

It seems sort of obvious to say this, but if you don't fundamentally believe the universe works the way that Daniel believes it does, he's never going to be particularly convincing."

"I wasn't intentionally setting it up to draw a parallel to those verses (though Joshua and Daniel incorporate bits of the gospels and Pauline letters into their dialogue), but it is an appropriate connection to make.

It was also inspired a little by the Wilfred Owen poem "The Parable of the Old Men and the Young"."

"Limiting what the player takes with them to Zion isn't meant to actually make it scroungy/difficult, but to free up inventory space to use new items you find in Zion. Because your other stuff is already in a secure box back in the Mojave, you don't have to worry about stashing gear in an unfamiliar location just to use a new item."
