The best Fallout skeletons
The world of Fallout is a dark one. The day the nuclear bombs fell, humanity and all it had built was scorched to a crisp, and almost entirely wiped out in the process. But consider, if you will, that were the bombs to drop at this very moment, 83 million of us would die on the toilet. Around 350,000 of us would die having sex, and even more people would be having sex with themselves (as one unfortunately immortalised Pompeian attests).
Were the world to stop right now, we would all be compromised, the secrets of our lives laid bare, our skeletons standing (or lying, or crouching) testament to the ways we lived. The creators of Fallout have always understood that. But so much is lost over time, the powers of decay and degradation twisting forms out of shape, making each frozen death captured by the sudden blast inexplicable, devoid of their context.
This is where the Fallout series gets its signature tone and nowhere else is it displayed better than in the corpse jokes that litter is irradiated wastelands. A snapshot into the lives of the people who weren't quite as lucky as you - not to mention a disturbing glimpse into the feverish imaginations of Fallout's developers - these osseous reminders of a society long decimated are as poignant as they are hilarious.
