đÄȘnd yes, by the way, i DO have a Vault Boy tattoo. Iâm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Bethesdas genius wit unfolds itself on their monitors. As a consequence people who dislike Fallout 4 truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldnât appreciate, for instance, the humour in Prestons existential catchphrase âAnother settlement needs our help,â which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevâs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. The fans understand this stuff they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that theyâre not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. Thereâs also Codsworths nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance.

The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewerâs head.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Fallout 4.
