Some might argue that Fallout 2 had some silly stuff, but it was still somewhat vague and out there compared to Bethesda. In Fallout 1 we only found a crashed alien ship, and even then that was just meant as an easter egg, like the super rare encounter where you find a man trying to sell destroyed cars at an old car dealership. I would say aliens are out of place, yes. The odd reference or 'They're out there' tier sighting would actually be a benefit to the setting in my book. UFOs are an absolute classic pulp sci-fi story, and Fallout draws a lot of inspiration from that genre. Now, as a disclaimer I will say that regardless of what my thoguhts of aliens in Fallout are, Mothership Zeta was an awful DLC and the idea that aliens began the Great War is quite possibly the worst idea since placing a sex offenders clinic next to a school.īut yeah, are aliens really that out of place? I actually feel they're quite appropriate, what with the sci-fi craze of the 1950s with bulbous headed little green men being the most prominent among sci-fi images from that era. Now that Fallout 4 has released and we've been exposed to exasperated sigh inducing lore about Lovecraftian cults/horrors and ancient civilizations buried underneath the Earth, it's got me thinking that perhaps little green men in UFOs aren't that out of place in Fallout.
