Bethesda has been one of the most celebrated game developers of all time and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Being mainly known for their Elder Scrolls and Fallout series, the developer has never ceased to entertain fans all over the world. The Fallout universe, in particular, has amassed an incredibly large following of dedicated gamers. With each ༒new installment in the series getting better and better it's easy to see why Bethesda's amazing open world series gets such high acclaim. It's so widely played all over the world on both PC and gaming consoles.
However, being a series set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, filled with irradiated creatures and mutants, there are bound to be some curiou𒅌s and downright hilarious logical inconsistencies. From the unapolꦇogetically impossible moments to the idea that stimpaks and napping can cure virtually every ailment and illness, many of these glaring logical paradoxes and blunders are pointed out in humorous comics and memes.
So today we'd like to show you 25 of the funniest Fallout logic comics. These generally refer to the series as a whole, with a focus on Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 4, and even Bethesda’s hit mobile game, Fallout Shelter.
25 Careful Where You Click ⛦
One of the best and most amazing things about Bethesda’s Fallout series is the vast and seemingly unending amount and variety of interactable items. When we say interactable, we mean touchable, usable, and carriable. However, when virtually everything that the player sees can be interacted with, it’s important to be careful where your crosshairs are pointed before picking something up. Even just a millimeter too far in one direction can mean the difference between picking up an object and opening a door, or picking up an🤪 unclaimed item versus an owned item that will send bullets your way from its angry owner. In this case, the comic points out the times when desired items are soaking wet in a dirty toilet filled with sewage water who knows how old.

24 ജ 🐽 No Time For Shuteye
One of the many factions the player can join in Fallout 4 is The Minutemen. After joining the faction, players will be sent on various missions to help struggling, low populated, and often small settlements all over the wasteland. These settlement aiding quests will range from things like improving the security around the settlement by building watch towers or sentry guns, helping fight off raider and super mutant attacks, rescuing an abducted villager, and so on. When completing these quests, the player must talk to one of the settlers to complete the quest and claim the reward. However, sometimes the settlers will be sleeping. Though, this won't stop most players from shakꦿing them awake to tell them they finished the errand they were given!

23 A Fate Wors🌄e Than The Apocalypse
In E3 2015, Bethesda announced a new Fallout game. This game was unlike any other that came before it in the Fallout universe. The developer announced that they'd be bringing Fallout to mobile. Yes, they told fans they were working on a mobile version so gamers could have Fallout at their fingertips and in their pockets. This, of course, was Fallout Shelter. In the game, players move vault dwellers from room to room with the touch of their fingertips, sometimes allocating work to each dweller and sometime𓂃s forcing dwellers to procreate. Interesting𓆉ly, the game does not factor in lineage with romantic compatibility. This comic humorously points out that fathers are free to carry on the species with daughters and daughters with brothers and so on.

22 My Name Is Whaꦬt?!
Like many video games, developers must create a system in which players can quickly identify the names of NPCs. This is important for a game that’s based solely on quest completion like the main Fallout series. Some games opt to identify the NPC only once the player incites dialogue. Others have the NPC names always shown above or below their avatar. In the case of Fallout, NPC names and often positions or jobs are shown in green above or around their heads🎉 when the player is close enough and sets their crosshairs on the NPC. However, it’s curious to ponder whether the same is the case for NPCs looking at the player. This comic explored that idea, as well as jok꧒es about the players who choose immature names for their main character.

21 🎉 Polite Enemies
In this artistic and well-done comic, the artist pokes fun at the healing system of the game and the player's godlike ability to freeze combat mid-strife. Fallout combat is incredibly exciting, fun, and at times unapologetically challenging. The game pits you against gangs of super mutants, raiders, feral ghouls, and worst of all, deathclaws. Players one solace in these encounters? Stimpaks. Stimpaks are the game’s best and most common healing item and the player must always keep a large stock of these in their inventory. However, the funny thing about the healing system is that, unlike most RPGs, players do not lose a turn or time by healing. In Fallout, the player can bring up the Pip-Boy system to apply their stimpaks simultaneously freezing time in a godlike manne♉r.

20 This Week On Hoarders ꦑ
In Fallout 3, 4, and New Vegas, the player can be many things and assume many roles. From Commander of the Brotherhood of Steel to lone wanderer to leader of the raider gang, the player can take their Fallout journey on the side of light or darkness or somewhere in between. However, if the player wants to survive and be successful in the game there is one thing the player MUST be and that is a hoarder. The player must hoard and must scavenge to the extreme. From picking up ammo to stimpaks and building materials, scavenging is a key part of any Fallout game. This comic laughs at t🍎he fact that no matter how tastelessly the pl✱ayer hoards materials, no one so much as bats an eyelid.

19 🍷 Where’s The Gratitud🦄e?
In Fallout 3, one of the first quests the player can encounter is The Power of The Atom. For this quest, the player must disarm a dormant atomic bomb in the town of Megaton. In game, the player can pick up items to their heart’s content with the exception of owned items highlighted in red. No matter how small the item is, if an NPC sees you stealing an item they will likely attack you relentlessly until your end or theirs. Even an item of no value can set NPCs on your tail. So even if you complete this quest and save the town from nuclear annihilation, stealing an empty glass bottle can send all the settlers aftꦏer yo✨ur blood. Thus, be careful where you click, for some reason theft is a capital offense in the wasteland.
18 Mirror Mirror On The Wall ꦆ 🧸
Many RPG gamers will be familiar with player appearance customization. Bethesda has been renowned for the degree of customizability their games offer players. From facial tone and texture to hair length, body mass, and so on, Bethesda games usually offer players the highest level of choice possible in terms of character appearance. At the beginning of Fallout 4, the player looks in the bathroom mirror after being greeted good morning by the player’s wife. Upon looking in the mirror, the player can customize their appearance to their heart's content. But imagine what the player’s wife must be seeing while this is going on? Her spouse’s f💙ace changing constantly while she stares in horror. With that in mind, in this comic she acted accordingly, and I’m sure many of us wou💙ld’ve done the same.

17 🦹Security Upg꧙rade Needed
Many video games have been criticized for having brainless NPCs. Because of the technology in past generations of gaming, the NPC artificial intelligence just hasn’t been up to snuff. Recently, that has been changing and NPCs are getting more and more intelligent. While Fallout has quite intelligent settlers and companions on your side, there are still times when NPCs seem like they have no brain. Such is th🥀e case for many bodyguards (if you can call them that) in the game. Although the game is better when played with a bit of stealth, usually all that’s needed is a closed door to hide your deeds. If players can finish an NPC with one hit behind closed doors, usually no surrounding NPCs will be drawn and the player can get off scot-free.

16 Humpty Dumpty Over And Over Again ൲ 🉐
Whether it be monsters, animals, or other human characters in the game, Fallout’s mechanism leaves little to the imagination and goes quite overboard and players love it. Depending on the weapon used, whether it be a melee or ranged weapon, after characters are defeated their body will be ruined to an incredible, over-the-top extent. Normally, bullets don’t have such power, but in Fallout that is clearly not the c♐ase. One explanation for the phenomenon is pointed out in this comic. The author provides their own explanation in which guns in the game don’t actually fire bullets, but instead miniature unicorns. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but this criticism of the game’s ridiculous stuff is on point and in good taste.
