History VideoGame / FallenEarth

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Deconstructed; Yes, Alec Masters was a tyrannical scumbag and his murder at the hands of CHOTA was well deserved...except that the latter group are ''the reason'' he was put into power in the first place. CHOTA killed General William Masters prior to the events of the game, and as a result, that's was when his son Alec got into power. Because of CHOTA, they were the reason why the asshole was in power in the first place. Given their nature, that's probably why they killed his father; ''[[UnwittingPawn to use his son]] [[FreudianExcuse for an excuse to have anarchy]]''.

* CloningBlues: [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] are gene-tweaked clones whose population is maintained by the [[RagnarokProofing still-functioning Life Net system]], complete with a collar that plugs into the central nervous system to sync memories with Life Net in real-time so that if they die, a nearby cloning station can pop a new you right out with full continuity of consciousness. The system has [[CloneDegeneration various flaws after enduring the apocalypse (which several story quests are focused around fixing)]], and quest-givers are perfectly happy to send you on missions that ''will'' get you killed because you're functionally immortal anyway, and they know it.

''Fallen Earth'' is a [[AfterTheEnd Post Apocalyptic]] sandbox [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMO]], released by North Carolina developers Icarus Studios in 2009 and set in the surroundings of the Grand Canyon. The year is 2156 and the Earth has been devastated by nuclear warfare and a biological catastrophe. Fallen Earth's gameplay is an FPS/RPG hybrid; players have characters with stats which they can increase and which effect their in-game capabilities, but combat requires a player to use an FPS-style crosshair and manual aiming rather than the more typical "select target, select attack" methodology of many [=MMOs.=] VideoGame/FallenEarth was purchased by Gamers First in mid-2011 and shortly after this was moved to a [[AllegedlyFreeGame Free To Play]] model. On October 2019, the servers were shut down and the game was said to be getting a reboot, though no news has materialized on that front. However, it seems rumors of the game's demise have been greatly exaggerated, as the game was brought back on line once again as "Fallen Earth Classic" in 2021.

* GreaterScopeVillain: When you think about it, the CHOTA are the reason why Hoover Dam fell apart. They were the first antagonistic faction to appear when [=GlobalTech=] was overthrown by Orson Masters, they tortured Dr. Benjamin Sillers and they also killed William Masters which in turn allowed everything to crumble after that. Had they not existed thanks to the Shiva Virus, [=GlobalTech=] would have been the only problem to deal with.

* VendorTrash: Most items have a use, but animals and monsters will still occasionally drop [[OrganDrops body parts]] like damaged limbs and cracked fangs that only exist to be sold to NPC merchants (or junked outright to preserve valuable inventory space). Basically, if it doesn't note ''any'' kind of use in its info (mission items, tradeskill (crafting) components, whatever), then it's trash.

* ArtMajorBiology: The Shiva Virus had its spread assisted by the nuclear war. Biologically, the chances of an airborne virus being helped by thermonuclear explosions is highly unlikely, as most viruses are killed by high radiation and heat.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Some of the factions have a subgroup that count as these. Only thing they stand for is utter chaos and callous self-interest at the expense of others.
