15 Lies The Fallout Games Taught Us About The Real World
6. If You Shoot Enough Things, You Can Eventually Learn About Science
There aren't that many universities left in the wasteland. If you want to learn the sciences, the Followers of the Apocalypse are about the only option you have. Unfortunately, they refuse to give any classes to player characters. Thankfully, this isn't a problem, as science isn't something for which you necessarily need a proper education. Real, hardcore science is best learnt on the mean streets of L.A. or D.C., not in some "classroom". In the wondrous world of Fallout, reading educational material can give you a boost in your scientific endeavours, but most of your knowledge will come from shooting people and doing odd jobs to gain experience and level up. Real world experience is way more important than book learning. Forget about applying for college or "studying". If you want a job as an engineer, just walk around and discover new places. If you're looking to be an expert in computer technology, deliver packages for people, you'll figure it out. If all else fails, going on a murderous rampage should be enough to earn that medical degree.
Ken was born in 1994, and before the turn of the century, he was already a gamer for life, starting with Pokémon Blue Version. He has a passion for storytelling, especially in the gaming medium. Growing up on a healthy diet of JRPGs and point and click adventure games, young Kenny grew up playing Nintendo and Sony consoles, before becoming a snobby member of the PC Master Race. Nowadays, he resides in a time warp, refusing to believe the nineties ended as he fills up his Steam library with old point and clicks and cRPGs.
