mods like this are just the ones i love installing. Pete Hines is head of PR , HE SHOULD GIVE A F about the Lore since its part of marketing. The fact all he could do is say " STFU play our games". UH NO. Its why i mod back in all the Real Fallout lore they tried to gut and refuse to acknowledge the existence of Faillout 76.
And that's why, despite them being decent enough games, FO3 and FO4 just don't feel quite as "Fallout-y" as 1/2/NV - if you don't care enough about the lore to get the little details right, you're going to end up taking bigger liberties and it all adds up.
to me, Pete Hines is not the one to be blame off. it makes sense because pete hines is pr marketing section that had nothing to do with game design or writing department, he's just PR guy. so I kinda feel bad for Pete Hines when people bashing him for that in tweet. people forgot that Emil Pagliarulo the best lead writer of bethesda game studio that write the fucked lore of Fallout. Emil Pagliarulo should be the one who responsible for this not pete hines. well maybe we can blame todd howard because he don't do his work properly I suppose...
I''ve always just thought that Myron is probably lying about inventing jet. It's described as an amphetamine class drug somewhere in the lore, which while it explains partly by brahmin manure is a component(the amine in amphetamine as ammonia, combined with some aromatic group) could make an amphetamine mimic, amphetamine synthesis was done in the 1800's, long before the timelines diverged.
It's not reasonable that chemists wouldn't have discovered amphetamines, especially since they're similar to ephedra/ephedrine which are naturally occuring and used for millennia.
I was bothered by the fact that a drug Myron created (180 years after the bombs) was so prevalent... I doubt that it would have even ever reached the commonwealth.
Yeah, while I agree with you, it wouldn't make much sense to remove the drug entirely at this point. It's so useful. ...And it was in FO3 as well. ...And Myron could have been lying. I mean, it makes sense there are some sort of trading lines from the west coast to the east coast after all this time, too, so I don't take issue with it too much. My main concern was removing the definitive nature from this terminal entry, so it really doesn't matter what kind of drugs were sent to the vault.
The silk road was much longer than the distance required, and it may be even more profitable to ship from the wast to east cost with the transport of manufactured goods from the NCR east. Narcotics have always been lucrative, the Opium trade should be an excellent example of their value.
In Fallout 4 Jet is fertilizer + plastic. If it's really that simple, it has probably been made up multiple times by different inventors after the war, and it was probably something the prewar druggies also made in their bathtub labs.
