Popular Culture in Fallout 3

There was a lot of that in the older games, remember? Movie references mostly, A Boy and His Dog, Mad Max, Terminator, you name it. If you don't understand why some people will stick to the leather jacket through the entire game, now you do.

So here we are 2007, close to ten years since the last Fallout. Do you feel there are new cult movies or other things that deserve a place in Fallout 3?

If there is anything I'd like to see, it's a bit of Equilibrium actually (the society of Equilibrium was also a post-apocalyptic), namely Gun-kata; something in the lines of a feat or perk that lets you use small arms to execute fast melee attacks. Or the movie Children of Men, and something like a mission where you have to escort a pregnant women to safety. You get the idea.

Got any good ones? Remember, we're talking about the past then years here.

Team America: World Police

Team America World Police Movie, Team America Movie - Official Site

Team America:World Police...okay, you get the message (see w/site above). This is a mission to bring democracy to everyone, whether they want it or not. Go sic 'em team. Would be brilliant in Fallout.
Now while we are on the subject, Tricky, how about Neil Stephenson's Cryptonomicon???? Very post-modern with lots of lovely little impossibilities (countries that don't exist, technologies in the making, references back to last world war...could be updated...cryptology, it's perfect!) . Not giving away my really big idea just yet, 'cos maybe I can sell it. Commerce Rules.

Hannibal Lecter, V for Vendetta, Prestige and to a less extent Matrix for movie references.

World of Warcraft, Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil for game references.

Mad Max, yes, it will most likely be present in this installment, but there are a few that would look good as side missions. Red Dawn for one, and possibly Tank Girl. I wonder if they will put some random movie refernce in, like in FO2
