So, I thought that the art deco usage throughout fallout 3 and 4 was fairly clear in its symbology. Well each piece may relate back to some more specific thesis, the whole of them always seemed to represent hubris. I'd like to turn attention more specifically to the fact that so much of the art from pre-war America relies on the human form. We see countless busts of men long gone whose features sit so sternly, very often having the art deco metal working fused directly into the skin of the subject. We can read further into this if we would like to take the more Eldritch areas of the game at face value. Those antediluvian structures, stated directly to be made by an ancient hyper advanced civilization uses almost exactly the same architecture and busts that we see in pre-war America. Immediately a theme presents itself In the fact that this ancient, long dead civilization did the exact same thing as the modern society. The usage of the human form, almost always displayed in metal, seems to place a high importance on humanity itself, more specifically the elevating of man to God, and the ever present theme throughout all 4 mainline fallout games of a figure declaring they are entitled to guide humanity forward in whatever why they self-righteously decree is correct, much to the suffering of those they thought they deserved to rule over. This, of course, reflects back into the actual content of the day the bombs fell, the selfishness governments impose through mutually assured destruction by placing their populations as sacrifices to be made should things not go their way, and the fact that the, horribly preventable, war occurred simply because one of the sides was losing, and decided to burn the world instead of giving up their dominion. The Shattered Apotheosis depicts not merely the death of America, but the horror inherent of a man declaring himself *God.*
