Honestly? Did you even read it?
Fallout 3 would be an alternate history, falling under the classification of steampunk.
Ya… but technology didn’t change because of it to take into account the new time-line, just sorta stopped.
fallout 3 was more post-apocolyptic/mad max than steampunk.
scavengerpunk?
If that definition is correct then 1984, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Dr. Who, Battlestar Galactica and even Raiders of the Lost Ark would be steampunk. Steampunk can consist of an alternate history plot, but a history in which Victorian technology remains prominent.
Steampunk: Machinery and inventions created after the age of steam-powered machines made to look like or made to be steam-powered, having extra elements such as wooden or brass fixtures, large gears, dials, or valves. Hence, the word “steam” in “steampunk”. For example: A steampunk computer:
Steampunk is the “alternate history” if 19th-century technology had been built upon.
It CAN be Victorian-inspired, but it doesn’t HAVE to be. A movie that is classic steampunk is “Wild Wild West”.
That being said, I like looking at pictures of steampunk, but I don’t think I’d want anything like that in my home.
Fallout’s technology is not steam-based, but based on nuclear fusion. Thus "STEAM"punk does not apply. End of story. Seriously, Bmsmg, get out and start whining elsewhere where someone might give a shit.
Nukepunk. Amirite?
Fallout is post-apocalyptic, not steampunk.
FISSION dammit. Only fusion technology in that game was energy weapon ammo.
bioshock is steampunk
itsnot tho
Dr Who’s time machine is steampunk of coures
No it isn’t xD it got stuck camouflaged and he cba to fix it.
It is called STEAMpunk because the MAJORITY of it is STEAM-based, but not ALL of it.
Are you even reading this?
As stated, fallout would be steampunk by definition, but it has a cyberpunk feel.
…Because steampunk also includes alternate historys where technology took a different turn.The following is a quote from the fallout 3 manual:
“Fallout 3 presents a much grimmer reality. Imagine if, after world war 2, the timeline had split.”
Not enough?
“Our world forked into one branch, the Fallout universe into another. In that other branch, technology progressed at a much more impressive rate, while American society remained locked in the cultural norms of the 1950’s. It was an idyllic “world of tomorrow”, filled with servant robots, beehive hairdos, and fusion-powered cars.”
I rest my case. That is CLASSIC steampunk.
and that sound it makes… …how could i forget?J/k, anyway, it is alien, so it has an excuse to be awesomesauce.
those quotes you provided suggest that it’s not. So no.
What?
BMSMSG are you ever right about anything? 
You say that steampunk is when the majority of technology is steam-based. NONE of Fallout 3 tech is steam-based.
hahahah I got good lols out of bsmga still not accepting his wrongness.
