Hello all.....not exactly my first time here - I couldn't remember my Loggin stuff!!! Anyway, I am currently playing Fallout 3 for Xbox 360, and having got quite a ways in, I have noticed a few similarities between the Deathlands saga and the game.....
Off the top of my head:
- setting for both is a post-apoctalyptic USA
- the main character carries a rad counter, as do Ryan and JB
- in both, the charactetrs wander the wastelands in search of food, water and ammo, all-the-while battling mutant creatures
- The one that sold it for me - in the game, you have to battle a group called "The Family" - a group of people who follow a vampiristic lifestyle - if you have read DL #29 Bloodlines, you will know about the Cornelius family, and their exploits. I am still playing the game as we speak, but the similarities are pretty unreal, which leads me to belive that DL was somewhat of an inspiration for this game.....
On a side note, the newest book, Plague Lords, is pretty good so far....
