They both look wrong for the setting, very wrong.

 

[Whipporowill]

I guess that's why those cars stopped at the art stage, rather than like the renders we've seen.

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Unless those cars are NPC cars.

 

[Whipporowill]

Well, in a good rpg every NPC car would be viable for pc's - one way or the other...

Wha, I actually like the Vault poster. Don't care much for the vehicles but they seem okay.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

The humor for the vault poster doesn't seem very 50's ish.

Seems way more mid- to late-'60s.

 

[mr. lamat]

it's very pin-up... re: 40's and 50's porn.

 

[Whipporowill]

Mmm. Bettie Page...:drool:

Was "69" in use (name-wise, of course) that early?

 

[mr. lamat]

it's probably been around since the phoenicians.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

True, it's pin up style, but it still doesn't seem to fit in exactly for me.

 

[FrankHorrigan]

To me it has a kinda late rauncy 60's "austin powers" feel to it i think, could even be the cate archer character out of NOLF 1, which is at odds to fallouts ambience.

 

[Whipporowill]

No it isn't you dolts. Check out the style of pin-ups paintied on US bombers during WW2 and compare - she's basically just wearing a little more.

Frank> I think it's the Vault Suit (esp the stripes) that gets you the 60's vibes, not the actual style of the model.

 

[Jed]

it's probably been around since the phoenicians.

I don't think the Phoenicians used "Arabic" numerals.

 

[FrankHorrigan]

I should have been clearer, it is the jump suit(modified vault suit) which gives me that late 60's feeling.

 

[Azael]

Vault 69, was that the one that ended up being only males?

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

From the Bible:

Vault 68 - Of the one thousand people who entered, there was only one woman.

Vault 69 - Of the one thousand people who entered, there was only one man.

 

[Reklar]

Striped vault suits? That just looks plain horrible and un-Fallout-y...or something.

[The Situationist]

Er, what stripes are these? I'm looking hard at the Vault 69 picture, I've turned the gamma right up, but I still don't see any stripes – just shading.

Mmm. Bettie Page...:drool:

You also drool over Mike Page, so...
