Forum:Including literature/media influences on fallout?

Heyoh, fellow wastelanders, wanderers, scavengers, nitpickers, junkmen and women of the world. Long time wiki reader, first time poster.

I noticed when I was reading up on the description of the "fallout world" and on the many pages devoted to the topic that there are scant few influences on the fallout milieu and landscape referenced. Naturally, some of the comparisons (such as fallout 3's "the replicated man" being lifted from bladerunner) are present in the pages relating to specific quests or items, but nothing really in the realm of general genre influences. I am speaking of the many sci-fi aged books, novellas, and short stories which are so apparently present in the minds of the creators. Is including a page about these overkill for just a general gaming wiki? Has my nerddom reached critical mass?

some examples: Aldous Huxley's "Ape and Essense," George Romero films, a Boy and his Dog, T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland, etc etc

There are already pages about that stuff. See Fallout cultural references, Fallout 2 cultural references, and Fallout 3 cultural references. Knight Captain Ski (talk) 23:44, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
