TheSteelyardDweller Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Even though Fallout takes place in a fictitious world, a lot about it was drawn from RL history. I’ve learned a lot since I started playing the series and it’s made me appreciate history more. Does anyone else feel this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Morgans Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Absolutely. I'm a big fan of the Total War series, which of course is a very historical franchise (Warhammer games aside!) - I've been writing a series of character profiles for the upcoming Total War: Three Kingdoms looking at the literary and historical backgrounds of characters who will be featuring. (I also did a series for Battlefield 5 looking at the historical battles which inspired battles in the game.) I haven't written any Three Kingdoms ones for a while, as I've been busy with other news, but I'm getting back to it today to finish the series ahead of the game's release! Here's an example, but you can find the rest on the Total War news page: https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-dian-wei/ StaceyPowers and DC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyPowers Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Yes, definitely. Bioshock Infinite gave me a number of historical topics to research, and I was glad that I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravosi Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 For sure! Taught me much more than actual history lessons lol! Matt Morgans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyPowers Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Of course, this reminds me of The Oregon Trail ... where historical education met videogame rage for me as a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Most of the time the history in the gaming, netflix and cartoons is pretty much rigged for their own benefit. I don't consider those sources as credible source of history. I think it's a problem to rely on it for data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
