Talk:The Master (Fallout)

message: On my very first game through I killed the Master in two turns. I just stood behind the pillar and he couldn't attack me. I walked in front of him when it was my turn and attacked. I got a 400 crit with a minigun (my big guns skill was only 70-some %) and then did about 100 more damage with my next attack and he was dead. He only spawned one super mutant and Dogmeat even lived through the encounter. I was actually fairly disappointed. I'm not here to brag, but saying the Master is a difficult fight is untrue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.111.208.82 (talk) 00:58, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: He isn't that hard to kill

message: I would like to point out that Super-mutants are actually capable of reproducing several years after the mutation, however The Master still can be convinced about his failure. This information can be found out in Fallout 2 if you go to New Reno's Cat's Paw brothel with Marcus in your party and ask some action for him. After that, you can ask him about the sterility of mutants and he explains.
:Actually, Chris Avellone, who designed New Reno, clearly stated afterwards that Marcus was only joking. Whether or not it was the initial intent or a retcon is unknown.Ausir 03:00, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (January 2018) 

message: Based on  reference order:
#1up feature on Fallout - Single mention of Master as antagonist. Trivial mention, no coverage.
#Gameinformer - Single mention as an aspect of movie ideas. Trivial mention, no coverage.
#Escapist Mag - Single mention as part of a graphic, no discussion of the character.
#Kotaku - Single sentence describing his accent and appearance. No indepth coverage.
#Guinness - Unable to personally verify this offline source, but described as "quick fire facts and trivia"
#UGO - Best source so far, 2 paragraphs dedicated to character as part of a top 10. Article's context though is "Our favorite Fallout characters" so its not really independent of the series (i.e. no broader context)
#Denofgeek - Not convinced DOG is a reliable source, but there's no indepth coverage here beyond "He's the last boss and he's tougher, or you could join him."
#Gamespot - Best source now, multiple paragraphs as part of a broader top 10 list of villians.
#Gamespot 2 - another list of villians, same source
#Gamesradar - Article states was #75 on this list, but the archive does not contain this and the current version of this list at Gamesradar only keeps 30 entries and Master is not there.
#Kotaku 2 - 2 sentences, nothing in depth.
#PC Gamer - No indepth discussion of the character, a couple paragraphs discussing the gameplay options of fighting him
#IGN - Two paragraphs discussing plot elements within the context of "best fallout moments"
#GamesRadar - Not about Master but about his location, again a list in the context of "memorable Fallout locations". Not really coverage of the character at all.
Based on this analyze I'm going to restore the redirect. If contended we can check with an AFD to see if it should really exist. Almost everything said here, if important, can be at Fallout's article. Master never appears in any other games. -- ferret (talk) 18:58, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Removal of the redirect was accompanied by a complaint that nothing was ever merged. I have just merged the things that seemed relevant. -- ferret (talk) 19:05, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
