That's what the fallout universe was missing. Now it makes so much sense

Fallout 1 : Nah we can’t have talking raccoons it’s too silly
Fallout 2 : T A L K I N G D E A T H C L A W S

A race of Raccoon people just sounds silly on its own, but after hearing the development and backstory of the idea sounds pretty good for a fantasy game unfortunately. If only, huh?

why does it feel like raccoons would be the perfect "intelligent" creature

WHAT THE RACOONS KNOW:
1_ Whole world is garbage
2_ Garbage is delicious

You know me personally I always count cut content a cannon unless it directly contradicts something in the games

I think if they were included, then the idea wouldn't be seen as farfetched now. Nobody would question other talking animals like the deathclaws. It would just be a normalized thing for the series. But I guess we'll never know

@immortalsquee767 4 years ago

both reasons for why they were removed can be true, they need to cut back on the amount of characters so chose to cut the the racoons because they didn't quite fit the tone and aesthetic they were going for

Oh wow, I was gonna include some intelligent racoons in a Fallout tabletop RPG I'm planning. I had no idea they were actually a thing!

I say, non human sapient species would be something nice for Fallout series. Maybe not on global scale like Bethesda did with Supermutants and Ghouls but a tribe or town... that would be nice.

Kind of a bummer they cut them out it wouled have been bad ass to see a race of post apocalyptic rocket raccoons

@highjumpstudios2384 4 years ago

I can't believe Interplay stole a canon race of furries from us.

@thewittywhygaming6487 2 years ago

I really wish this was added. Having a species that is as intelligent as humans and can possibly become the next dominant species of the earth helps emphasize that humanity really screwed itself.

I’m just going to put the raccoons into my fallout head canon and say the reason we never see them in game is because they try to stay away from humans.

Funny coincidence, a few hours ago I've told this to a friend of mine: "I have more hours than you on New Vegas because I scavenge anything I can find, I even search in toolkits even though I know I have no use for the junk in there. I'm basically a raccoon." I don't know how the raccoons in this video are gonna be like, but I think I might have found MY PEOPLE

Would absolutely love if these guys were in the games, not over the entire wasteland but just in some area they came to inhabit.

I want a village of creatures now.... I don't care if they are mutations or synths but it NEEDS to happen

@migcasas1 4 years ago

I find ironic, intriguing and cool that a silly concept for an intelligent Raccoon race makes much more sense than Billy the Ghoul stuck-in-a-fridge-for-years concept in Fallout 4.

Rocket raccoon will never be surpassed

Intelligent raccoons aren't any more or less silly than things like super mutants, deathclaws, robot butlers, finding the tardis, aliens, etc. And even the weirder parts of Fallout make it memorable - there's a reason why the garish vault jumpsuits and mutated freaks are the centerpiece of any depiction of Fallout and not more grounded settlements.
