It's more a question of believability than anything else. If it turns out to be some rare gag weapon or one-off, I won't have much of a problem with it. If every other merchant is selling mini-nukes for it however, my credulity will be more than strained.
I'd really like it if the majority of weapons looked more or less like (

Not if you believe FO2. ;)

Yeah, Phatose, that occurred to me as well, in addition to my previously mentioned point about the brotherhood of steel being up there. My guess is that people have trouble imagining a fallout game without super mutants and the Brotherhood of Steel. A game without the Brotherhood doesn't necessarily mean a game without power armor either, since it was in widespread military use before the war. As for the super mutants, it's entirely possible that some of the enclave's research into FEV still survives.

The fatman is just grotesquely inappropriate though. A handheld nuclear catapult? Ignoring the radiation issue, it's just to hi-tech a weapon to sit comfortably in the setting. You should be constructing IEDs, not lobbing mini-nukes about. And it's been over 200 years since the war, that's a pretty long shelf life for a nuclear device.
Yeah, but in terms of maintenance they're not nearly as demanding. Current nuclear warheads have a relatively limited shelf life if they're not maintained, due to radiactive decay changing the materials. I'm clearly speculating here, but I can only see the problem getting worse the more minaturized the tech gets.
Also, at that scale, what use do you get from a nuclear device that you couldn't get with conventional tech, without the horrific drawbacks?
Indeed, though pre-war fallout is still the future as far as we're concerned.

Really? Never saw that conversation, but that's probably because I never brought anyone along with me. How exactly do you get that convo?

Take Marcus to the Cat's Paw in New Reno and get him a 'massage'...
IIRC

Bring him to the whorehouse, and, er, make him do his thing

Not if you read Fallout Bible. It's been stated that FO version was right and Marcus was "joking".
Besides, everybody knows everything from FO overrides FO2 :p

Except for Myron. He sucked so much that you simply had to love him.
