I'd argue it'd only go back to the 30's at most.Arguably 20's as the submachine is based on the Thompson (created 1922). Also the music has some 20's stuff in there or covers done in the 30's and 40's iirc, but that's a stretch at best.Cheers Vien for the upload. Didn't like spending further money on Fallout merch, apart from the Tshirts, mugs, posters, pipboy edition...

The box and the metal cd case are a nice addition, but imo not worth the Β£100 price tag it came with.Even less so since they later went and made an actual functioning standalone pipboy without the phone slot.
Whoever decided it was a good idea to have a WW1 style machine gun act as an assault rifle in Fallout 4 should never go near weapon design ever again
I think the institute weapons are probably some of the worst weapons I've ever seen in a game. They look ugly aesthetically, they take up around a third of the screen and are pretty much universally worse than the bog standard laser rifle you can get.0/10

Very efficient at the cost of fire-power, in an environment entirely closed off from the outside world.- Institute uses synths which are just shy of terminator-level strength and resilience, against foes which at best would have scrounged up lower levels of technology (right up until the BoS turned up, anyway) to fight back. Synths are expendable, so are the guns. It follows on to...- If most of your missions are scavenging tech from the surface and taking it back to an inaccessible bunker underground for research, there's no need for gatling lasers to kill molerats and radroaches. Same for kidnappings and replacements, who your grabbing is unlikely to be well armed to defend themselves. Send in the synths with batons to bludgeon the dude and then teleport out for "questioning".
