Forum:A poor man's Fallout?

I mean, sure, on some level any "post-apocalyptic" "role playing shooter" will face this comparison, but here the similarities seem glaring. We've got a protagonist searching for a "vault" amid a "wasteland" full of "raider" style adversaries. Toward the end, advanced armored troops show up, the Crimson Lance, who have their own "Enclave" and advanced technology. If the games were farther apart in release one could say that Borderlands was a "homage" to Fallout, but given that they are contemporaries, the later just seems to borrow too much.

This said, it's not a bad game, and will certainly please fans of the genera, but let's not sugar coat it: this game borrows heavily from Fallout, and that's putting it politely.
