New Vegas All Roads by Chris Avellone

I second the Fallout Bible also made by Chris Avellone.


Also someone wrote this I say wrote but to be blunt I imagine it was more of a regurgitation. Don't read it.

EDIT: Seriously AVOID. Curiosity got the better of me and I had to find out if anyone had bought it. Someone did and their review seems to have been deleted. Thankfully, this is the internet! Here's a archive link to part of the original review: https://web.archive.org/web/20150217203657/https://www.amazon.com/FALLOUT-The-Descendants-Vaults-42/dp/1478718196#customerReviews

Original:
If you haven't already made the purchase then I'm going to advise you to avoid it. If reading the back of the book gives any insight into the quality of what lies inside then its going to be rough.

Take the first sentence on the back: "The Vault Tec Corp manages to build 122 across America, and annexed Canada". Okay; they built 122 what? Missiles? Cars? Yes we know he means 122 vaults, but the sentence never tells us that. Sure you might say "well what else would 'Vault Tec Corp' make", but lets be honest if he's leaving out a word here then what else will he leave out? The comma before the "and" doesn't make sense to me either (not a writer so maybe i'm wrong). The whole back is full of short, choppy, and generally poorly constructed sentences. None of that gives me a good impression.

"Nuclear fallout had revamp the world." An editor or even just a second look could have "revamp" this into something readable, but it seems it didn't happen. Again avoid! This isn't worth $20.

FALLOUT: The Descendants of Vaults 42, 43 & 55 has some similarities to the Fallout series, but there are a fair number of things changed and the book doesn't appear to have been proofread. In fact, it's arguable that it was written so terribly on purpose.
