>seeing as Fallout is 50s Retro Futuristic with googie styling
The earlier games [including 3/NV] had a wider combination of 'retro' styles including art deco. Bethesda didn't go full retard with LE EPIC 50'S cartoon art style until after their previous lead artist died [the guy that did the art for 3]. The isometric games had a lot of influence from 80's/90's action movies so they included shit that they thought would be cool and futuristic, like the G11, Jackhammer, 10mm, etc.
