I don’t really have a name or genre but it’s certain games like 40K, Fallout, Civ/HoI/all the other ones.

Am I the only one to notice these weird trends of political distribution? Is it just me?

    In FNV there are the Followers of the Apocalypse who are pretty explicitly anarchist. J. Sawyer (one game designer) said they are made up of people from “social democrats to communists”, paraphrased. They’re probably the most based faction in the franchise, bringing knowledge and medicine to every corner of the waste they can. They also may have inadvertently created one of the worst dictators the world has ever seen, depending on your perspective.

    FNV also has the Gun Runners, who are a workers’ coop. They also happen to be equal opportunity arms manufacturers. So.

    Then there’s Westside. Westside proper is shady as hell, but there is some basedness in the community grocery cooperative where people are expected to just “leave some, take some”.

      Oh neat, thanks for the run down!

      Makes sense that they all are flawed or screwed up, can’t be too good in the Apocalypse.
