The ghoul drug thingy is actually a really good lore addition. It recontextualizes a lot of the games in an interesting way. If ghouls have to take these drugs and make enough money to afford them, the implications on morality of previous ghoul characters is fascinating.

And about the vault tech meeting: this plot point is actually older than new vegas. They took that from the scrapped fallout movie that they wanted to make in the Interplay/Black Isle era. I thought it was absolutely awesome that they researched fallout enough to even know about this obscure thing

In that case there is little difference to just sharing a save file, which everybody can already do. If this is everything that the patent covers, then I'm against them having a patent for it. That idea is so generic and nothing somebody should be allowed to have control over

Sounds cool and all but I heavily doubt they would do the work to implement it like that. Replay value doesn't add market value in the view of the producers. So there is not much money to be made from the large amount of work this requires.

Of course if they ever do it, feel free to correct me, people from the future

… sooooo … chapters?

I have to tell you about Bobby Broccoli. He makes high quality videos about fraud/scandals in science. All his videos are well researched and have a unique style you won’t find anywhere else on the internet. One of his recent documentaries (about fraud in stem cell/cloning research) was so good, Netflix straigt up copied it
