imagine top surgery in the fallout universe
your options are like
a guy named sawbones jones living in a tent outside a radiation spill, claims he has performed the surgery once and that in general most of his patients survive
a robot named SURGBOT1778-C that hasnât been turned on in 167 years at a medical research facility that had seventeen different scandals for inhumane treatment of staff and clients
he doesn't look a thing like jesus
(full version on my patreon. STRICTLY 18+)
Arcadeâs only sin is the sin of being born and I donât think anyone can get it right when they write him.
Can you imagine the hatred? The disgust? Do you think that when he passes by mirrors and catches his own reflection he thinks âInnocent people died so I could be bornâ or âI am named after an idea of paradise that would cause the slaughter of thousandsâ? Does he feel guilt, this man who had to privilege of not having to go hungry, of being able to grow and tower over regular wastelanders? Does he consider the fact he was born of years of love and hate? That he was bred to be a fervent nationalist? Does he miss Navarro and then realize with disgust that had it not been destroyed he wouldâve become the very thing he fights tooth and nail against?
And he simplifies it. He dumbs it down in his head and tries to save himself the sheer horror that the people he misses so dearly, his father, his mother, wouldâve probably wanted him to mercilessly kill the very people he treats. He says to the courier âThey did bad things. Kidnapped people, terrorized settlements.â But is that really it? No. But the thought that his parents named him, this tall man who used to be a child (that, had fate not changed, wouldâve grown to be a soldier or a scientist hellbent on âpurifying the wastelandâ), after a paradise that wouldâve brought about the destruction of thousands of good people must be a bone-chilling notion.
People donât write him with the guilt of knowing what he was born to do. And they donât write him with the pride of knowing that he defied it and works to better the wasteland all around him, to fix his nationâs mistakes.

I did some amateur research to figure out which of the Fallout protagonists (specifically 3, NV, and 4) have a reasonable area of land to constantly traverse. I used Apple Maps to find the straightest possible walking path from a point on either end of the game map, then multiplied the north-south and east-west figures to get an approximate square mileage. Since none of the walking paths were completely straight, these numbers will all be a little higher than actual. BUT the game maps also donât completely correlate to the real-life locations, so consider these numbers to be estimates.
The Commonwealth: Around 600 square miles. This is honestly pretty manageable, especially if youâre teleporting or helicoptering all over the place. It would be exhausting, but you could theoretically get across the map in a day with time to spare for questing.
The Capital Wasteland: Around 800 square miles. Fairfax is the halfway point; very few locations on the western half of the map actually correspond to anything in real life. The exception is the cavern Little Lamplight is based on, which would make the game map 100 miles long. The map definitely doesnât extend that far into Virginia.
New Vegas: Kind of hard to calculate at this scale, but weâre looking at a little under 3000 square miles! Through. the Mojave. Desert. The Courier is really going to have to commit to a course of action before traveling, because they wonât be coming back for about a week.
If youâre a fanfic writer, remember that you donât owe realism to anyone. BUT, if realism is something you care about for your writing, keep these distances in mind!
On this day in history, you will be shot in the head!

(Introducing my Courier Six: Rose Ryder)
moriarty â cottonflower
i ain't nothing but a lonely rider i do not know who is right, who is wrong sing this song for you to sing when i'm gone
my courier oscar sees himself as a very ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances, surrounded by one of a kind, exceptional people. it's a burden and a marvel for him to decide their fates. arcadeâs very special too, even if heâs been trapped in mundanity for most of his life. his fate is yet to be decided
Six: Man Arcade, this RadAway stuff works wonders but it tastes terrible.
Arcade, slowly turning towards Six with bloodshot eyes: It What?
Love when Arcade speaks Latin or uses complicated science words, like yeah man, confuse my ass.
happy anniversary to the og
i. what do you mean i like robots who told you that haha...
