Having just passed the 100 dwellers mark on Fallout Shelter; here are some of the things this solid Bethesda mobile game has taught me:
There a learning gaps. Just like real life! Unlike real life, there doesn’t seem to be much logic to why a level 8 can gain a skill point in under an hour, but a level 22 takes half a day.
Not even the apocalypse can keep raw consumerism down. These chaps couldn’t give two shakes about the radiation slowly poisoning them! What stands between them and true happiness is three inches of foam.
There is nothing better than a cheesy pick-up line to capture a lady’s heart. Well that and being in the same room. Really just being around is all that it takes.
Being super pregnant fills all basic happiness needs and not even raiders will bring you down. There may be five corpses in the next room, but that’s not any concern of yours.
Well, that is until the raiders come into YOUR room. Then one must run around in a panic, arms flailing until the danger subsides. The return in a massive herd to whatever menial task one was doing prior to the kerfuffle.
In fact, there’s no reason to lose that permanent smile. Even deathclaw attacks are just culling of the weak. No reason why you should worry.
See? He was weak, Billy. We have nothing to worry about. Just keep pressing that button on the control panel. The flies will get bored soon enough.
And what reward do we have after a long day of raids and arduous labor? Why, a celebratory fist pump of course! Ready? 1…2…3..YEAH!
Finally, you; the Overseer, can look on your creation with pr… GO$&%$N Deathclaws again!? I haven’t even put armor on the newbs yet! COME on!
