Melt Banana Introduction for Charlie <| sep |> I ' ll keep arguing that we do , as we have several statements from at least two games , Fallout 2 and Fallout 4 . While Richardson is biased , the automated logging system at the Switchboard is not . I very much dislike the Enclave did it argument , as it doesn ' t fit with the themes of Fallout . It ' s about humanity loving conflict and war , nearly extinguishing itself , not a small band of rich fucks nuking the world for a bizarre plan that ' s never really explained . Given that the Bible and later Fallout 4 explicitly point out that the President and his old boys club ran like little bitches in March 2077 , expecting nuclear war to break out any moment , it seems that they had no long term plan , they were just scared shitless of the holocaust they helped usher in . Through jingoism , belligerence , and refusal to deal with China peacefully . That ' s how it feels to me .
