Fallout

Writers were turning sentences into full articles long before LLMs, though

I mean, he says more than just the single phrase.

He narrates the entire intro and outro, all of its possible variants, various lines for ways you can die, etc, for the original Fallout.

Here's the actual whole intro:

(Pearlman's part starts at about 1:35)

War. War never changes.

The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth.

Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory.

Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower.

But war never changes.

In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: petroleum and uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth.

In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise.

A few were able to reach the relative safety of the large underground Vaults. Your family was part of that group that entered Vault Thirteen. Imprisoned safely behind the large Vault door, under a mountain of stone, a generation has lived without knowledge of the outside world.

Life in the Vault is about to change.

This was my same feeling when someone posted a similar quote by Goggins. I fucking love fallout, and everything fromsoft, but those aren't for all gamers, and games aren't for everyone.

Let people live their lives how they want.

You didn't say the 4 words, though.

Just do us an iconic and eternal art piece and we might be able to come up with $30 and a hotdog.

I want $40 and a sandwich

Only after the last tree has been cut down / Only after the last river has been poisoned / Only after the last fish has been caught / Then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

I don't recommend $40 in a sandwich.

People need to be a lot more tolerant of others not sharing their interests.

fans can't understand that something so pivot to their life was so trivial to someone else.

i feel this way about sports. i just don't care, i might pay attention if my local team is in the playoffs. most sports fans thing i'm an asshole and take personal offense to my lack of interest in sports.

it was especially bad in my working class home down where sports was basically a religion, so much so teachers would require you to go to sports games to get credit for class. it was absurd.

There quiet of few of his movies that I enjoy even ones that are considered not very good b-movies.

Molerat and tato.

I didn’t realise Pearlman voiced the intro.

According to the video, neither did Perlman:

A year and a half later, I get a call, 'Hey, you remember Fallout?' No.

I'm pretty sure that he did more than just the into, though. There's a bunch of narration in, for example, the Fallout: New Vegas ending covering what happens to all the characters and factions depending upon the decisions you made, and I'm pretty sure that that's the same narrator.

Perlman narrated the following cutscenes in the Fallout games listed below. The intro narration in each of these games starts with the iconic line, "War. War never changes." He did not narrate Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel or Fallout 4, though he did voice a prominent character (the television newscaster) in Fallout 4's prologue and appeared in its first trailer.

Me neither. It always sounded like Robert Beltran, Chakotay on Star Trek Voyager.

Lots of people don't play video games. Just like lots of people don't consume mass media. People can do what they like with their time, and that's just fine. I enjoy video games and reading books, others would rather spend time playing sports, skiing down mountains, learning to fly, whatever the fudge they want. I would rather play retro games than most new games too. That's what I like, but everyone should do the things they like, until it starts fucking with other people's shit.

It's a video game, they aren't for everyone.

why? its line reading. they can do it without any context of the story.

If the fans are happy then they are happy, they dont base success of their job on similarity to the video game.

If you want examples of actors who cared we have both the Halo and Witcher series. While its noble that both leads did everything they could to prevent the show runners from dragging both shows into the ground, neither were successful.

Perhaps if the Fallout series was poorly received, they would consider playing the games so they could attempt to help fix the show.
