There is no information about the "Green Light Squads" anywhere...Just found some info on some tree-hugging hippy society.

Wasn't there a suicide bomber in FO2...? That guy in the NCR energy department. Did he blow himself up? I never let him...

Well I always thought that any time you thought strapping some C4 and nails to your ass was a good idea, you might be a little on the insane side, just a hunch.

Now, the idea of having a character that's a suicide bomber is stupid, it's not cool, just gay, gay to the max, gayer than San Fransisco, if I was gay I would ass rape your post it's so gay, and it would love it. Take it.

Only in your opinion. I think the people who fly the war planes that drop cluster bombs and kill civilians are fucking cowards. And they know they kill innocent people purposely. And suicide bombers do have dignity. Some people think they're freedom fighters. I don't.

Suicide bombers have no dignity, they commint a muder in times of peace and war. Now the USA has a rules of engagement policy, so we dont target civilians and we dont know if we kill them or not until the casualty tolls are taken. Suicide bombers are cowards, at least the bombers have the risk of being shot down before they get to the target, and they only kill soldiers, not civilians, not on purpose anyways, unless it was a world war. or a fight to the death.

Does it worry you that that comment might be ignorant? Would it bother you if you found out that you are ignorant?

I think it'll be a challenge for the next Fallout series to incorporate terrorism and the 'clash of civilization' themes.

It'd be interesting to inject suicide bombers in random encounters. And breaking up a suicide operation as a main quest for the player characters.

There is no place for suicide bombers in Fallout....There were no suicide bombers in the 50's/Retro/SCI-FI theme of FO1 or FO2...There will be no suicide bombers in FO3...It's just a stupid, shitty, shitty idea.

It would be a good idea if you were playing some game where you were a muslim extreemist...There are no Muslim extreemists in FO. There never will be.

Is FO about religious values? NO...Are suicide bombers about religious values...YES....The two don't mix....

If I was a mod, I'd lock this fucking stupid ass thread or send it to the Wasteland where it belongs...

It's like saying "Lets have a working space ship that takes you to the moon so you can set up a colony."

Maybe we could have air planes and we can fly them into buildings! YEY! THET WOLD R0XOR~!!!!!!!1111

Of course it's ignorant, that's why I said it, I'm surprised if you were offeneded by that you wouldn't be offended by anything else in there, like the word gay five times or ass raping his post and character.

Uh, San Fran is kinda known as the "gay capital of the US," and of all major US cities it has the largest gay population. What's frightening is that San Fran also spends more per citizen on cultural institutions and the like per year than any other citizen ($84, compared, say, to Toronto's measly $16 or so).

the art deco/retro design is but an artistic direction. if you noticed, there are many elements of contemporary culture that's spoofed in the game - i.e. scientologists, dan quayle (alright, not so modern), star trek etc etc. Go play the game again, Ignorant one.

Suicide Terrorism is not limited to Islamic militants - there the secular ethno-nationalists - such as the LTTE (Tamil Tigers) and the PKK (Kurds separatists) and (if you include the Palestinian Authority, the TANZIM)

Pop culture references in a sequel made by relatively talentless hacks doesn't cut it in my book.

Pruned some stupidity. Let's try and avoid the personal attacks.

I thought fallout was set as a 50s sci-fi, with radiation making things big, radioactive goop and the world being nuked? But yea thanks for clearing that up, fallout 1 and 2 just being a pop-culture reference, why not put suicide bombers in then? Middle-eastern terrorists that certainly have an excuse after the world has ended to suddenly make a stable terrorist organization in America for suicide bombers to wander the desert. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING IT!

It wouldn't be so bad to have a "Special" encounter with suicide bombers...BUT....This dude is suggesting having characters (NPCs) specifically to be suicide bombers...That's just fucking rediculous.
