What the fuck was this shit? Why was this in a Fallout game? Some guy from the 1800s finds a magical thingy that allows him and his family to live forever and it doesn't really matter one bit to the world of Fallout and they somehow live in a pristine house that has gone untouched for 200 years.

Is this really more immersion breaking than aliens, ghosts, zombies, giant robots, and other shit?

Bethesda always puts something lovecraft-esque in their games, but their thing is less how it keeps with lore or continuity rather than "is it a cool quest" (in their eyes). You can see this when they contradict themselves in game if ghouls need food or water in that one kid in the fridge quest vs freeing those ghouls in a basement, it's whatever makes the quest work at the time that takes precedence.

>d-doesn't count!

Mr. House actually makes sense since he was responsible for destroying missiles aimed at Las Vegas and then he goes into stasis and wakes up later. The Cabot family on the other hand literally does nothing for 400 years.

bethesda doesnt give half a rat turd about fallout

f4 is just a borderlands ripoff with that raped lore as they went

Bethesda doesn't have actual writers, its just the dumbass idiot developers making shit up and throwing it in a hat, that's why everything in the game is soulless. No theme. No continuity.

>Some guy from the 1800s finds a magical thingy that allows him and his family to live forever
Such is the power of alien artifacts
>and it doesn't really matter one bit to the world of Fallout
Well how do you think it should matter to the world? Lorenzo was the only one with other superpowers, but went insane and was locked in an asylum, the rest of the family have long lifespans but that's it.
>and they somehow live in a pristine house that has gone untouched for 200 years.
They cleaned the place up. What, you expect them to live in a ruined, dingy home for centuries like the other idiots around the wasteland?

I'm more concerned about how this family just lives like nothing has happened for 200 years. They got this really nice house and asylum that nobody was ever curious about and found out their secret in 200 years? Where do they get the money to sustain their operations? Would squatter camp around their house to gain at least some protection from the robots? Does none of the major factions notice that they're there? The super mutants never try to attack them?

nah thats family is cool. I like those little touches from other genres. Really add flavors to the game. Too bad the writing is shallow as fuck just like the rest of F4

You're thinking way further into it than the writers ever considered

don't they have one of those big military robots guarding their house or am i thinking of something else? the robots should take care of any bandits or other stragglers. also, why would the major factions care? its a single house and a single family, not like they're major political or military powerhouses.

I wouldn't have minded it so much is it were better written. Like having to track down his sister was bizarre.

It's just weird how nothing they do affects anyone else and nobody is affected by them for 200 years. Don't the ghouls remember how they were around from before the war?

Did you notice the bots

not interested in discussing how realistic things are in an alternate universe post-apoc game w/ talking mutants and ghouls

They have a few robots to protect the house and guards who protect the asylum. Their house is right in the middle of the city too and nobody ever noticed they were there and what their robots were protecting. They have absolutely nothing to do with the war or pre-war America either as everything important to them happened way back in the 1800s. I guess the only relation it even has to the world of Fallout is that their story is kind of a pulpy adventure sort of thing.

Yes, it is

Yes they have a few bots for protection. Though army of super mutants all around would've noticed and destroyed them a long time ago.

relax your brain muscles, you're overtaxed and can't pick up even the most basic of tropes.
he exists so that bethesda can say the sole survivor is still alive a billionty years from now, and people will argue if he's a synth, or if he's drinking the alien juju.
