13. Fallout
"War. War never changes"
What with Fallout 4 having just come out, there really is no better time to pay homage to those pithy four words that have introduced every game in the series. Not many games can get away with opening with the same narrated words each time, yet the universality and frankness of this line has helped it live on. But before we start gushing too much over the Fallout writing team, it's worth remembering that these words were actually first spoken by Union Army general, Ulysses S. Grant. You know what he said in the next sentence? "War is like Winter. Winter is coming". It takes a truly great man to come up with a quote so good that it's been split and used in Fallout
and Game of Thrones! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIkGXjWZzRU
