Fallout Series Thread V14: When i entered this thread i was hoping there would be more gambling - Games

Hmmm. . . what about a Fallout based in Los Angeles? Or is that NCR territory? I know that San Francisco is, but I don't know if LA is too far south or not. That or San Diego. There's a pretty substantial naval base there. That or Colorado, but that's Legion territory.

Even then, though, you don't have the same clash of factions like you do in New Vegas. In CO I could see it being Legion vs. BoS in its degenerate Midwest form, with a holdout at Cheyenne Mt. and conflict over the remains of Denver, Co. Springs and the urban areas along the I-25. In Texas, I can't say with certainty, but I think there's enough stuff of "interest" to make a map out of, and Chicago makes sense as a location if it hasn't been reduced to glowing rubble. I'm also kinda curious about what's left of the Pacific NW - Seattle to Portland. You see the very bottom of Oregon in one of the original Fallouts, I'm pretty sure.

i was about to suggest we go to china but then i realized everyone would speak chinese and we wouldn't understand anyone except the chinese

Has anyone ever considered a Fallout RTS? I mean, that would make for a pretty sweet game in my opinion. You have a massive range of weapons to choose from for your outfit/unit/what have you, and you have vehicles like Humvees (original Fallout games), Vertibirds, etc.

What happened to canada or alaska in the canon? Could a game possibly be set in that region?

[QUOTE=Fhenexx;42267883]Y'know, for something that sounds like such an awful band-aid solution, it doesn't actually look half bad from that trailer.[/QUOTE] Yeah, they may not function in any way remotely close to how a real car works, but get behind the wheel and they're a close enough representation that it works anyway. That trailer's for an old patch, too. The current version uses more or less actual wheel physics to move. How they work in v0.86 would be highly familiar to anyone who built cars in GM10 and GM11, since it's basically the Gamebryo equivalent of a forcer turbine powering everything.

[QUOTE=Loriborn;42268748]fallout tactics took place partially in all three states you do see the bottom parts of oregon in both fallout 1 and 2, and the planned fallout 3[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, - or fortunately, if you've actually seen what all is canon to Tactics - it isn't canon. So while they could take inspiration from some of the areas in Tactics, it's just as likely if they did a game set in Texas, Colorado or Illinois, that they'd just base everything off guesswork and anything established in previous canon games.

how do i get rid of merged patches? i made one because of Weapon Mod Kits, but I made some changes to things I didn't like in FO3Edit and I made a new one, and I wanna get rid of the old one just to be safe the changes i made were of the destabilizer, reverting it back to it's conditions made with the unofficial patch, like the holding animation and reload animation, and i applied that to it's(thankfully small number of) variants. oh, and for some reason, my RobCo sentry bots aren't using that army-based Vault 101 texture. all the other robots do, so it's wierd [editline]21st September 2013[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/ioWQ3r9.jpg[/t] i practice extreme yoga

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;42267290]You're all wrong. The correct playthrough is whatever allows you to get the meat of champions perk Then kill everybody and take vegas for yourself.[/QUOTE] you are right, but one faction still has to win, even if you take new vegas for yourself one side has to loose at the dam [editline]22nd September 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=ElectricSquid;42268735]They haven't done a game in Texas, Colorado, or Illinois, which I would think would present the most potential.

You see the very bottom of Oregon in one of the original Fallouts, I'm pretty sure.[/QUOTE] actually it would be kinda similar to new vegas in a way, imagine if its a sequel several years after Fallout 3, you could have some faction from the east coast and the legion bounded by the unconquerable missisippi, forward scouts from each faction trying to soften the local populous up and prepair for the inevitable take-over, small forward base camps from each side, then comes the Farmer, born inside the vault, but lived a life with a sky above, the farm-dweller's farm is razed and his entire community destroyed but the farm-dweller narrowly survives by being inside the vault-storehouse at the time of the attack, now armed with whatever weaponry is inside the vault, and clues from the attack, the farm-child must set out on a quest for vengance? or possibly the farm-child sets off on an adventure now freed from responsibilities, who really commited the crime? the fate of the midwest comes down to one person armed with only their wits and that gun. [editline]22nd September 2013[/editline] the main difference being that it would have like 4 sides, each one trying to push in from a different geographical direction, maybe a canadian faction from the north, maybe some confederate faction from the south, the legion to the west, and the new washington union to the east i just want to see the legion up against another enemy steeped in dogma, similar, yet equally their enemy. i mean a confederacy with slave labor, armed with fashioned weaponry vs the legion, a cobbled togather nation of enslaved tribes, itd be cool plus the midwest could be dotted with unopened vaults, and not nearly as much radiation as the wastelands to the east and west of it

Both cities are massive industrial hubs and both cities are massive transportation hubs. Matter of fact anything going from the west coast to Washington, DC and vice versa travels through Nashville first, Atlanta if Nashville's gone. So yeah, a Fallout game set in and around those two cities would be pretty badass. [sp]and if they set one near Nashville I might mod in my own home[/sp]

I wish Black Isle or Beth would quit dicking around the issue and would just say what happened to them.[/QUOTE] After reading the article on the Fallout wiki, Tactics is set before Fallout 2. So that actually covers my biggest issue with it being canon; their numbers. That being said, there are a few things - listed on the wiki mainly - that definitely aren't canon. As far as I'm aware, Bethesda considers at least small parts of Tactics to be canon. So I dunno.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;42268769]What happened to canada or alaska in the canon? Could a game possibly be set in that region?[/QUOTE] Alaska and Canada weren't "heavily industrialized"/"deforested" as Loriborn claimed. US just annexed Canada fully and drilled the majority of oil from Alaska. I'm not sure how fun it'd be to play there, though. From how rural Alaska and Canada are and how few cities of theirs would be viable nuke targets, I think you'd end up far more with a Point Lookout scenario; inbred hillbillies everywhere. Which pretty much describes pre-War Canada anyway.

With these scattered factions fighting for power over nuclear wasteland with raiders inbetween. EDIT: When you think about it, The Project in Warzone 2100 is exactly the same as Brotherhood of Steel, with NEXUS being a perfect equivalent of the Enclave. The New Paradigm = NCR, The Collective strikes resemblance to Ceasar's Legion. It doesn't help that every one of these is dark gray, maybe except The Project who claim to use reclaimed technology to restore order in the wasteland. But what do you know...

Does anyone know what holding animation the Destabilizer has? I've been trying to fix it all of yesterday. I know the animation's not right because there's this very sudden hand shift whenever I reload, and I looked at the Disintegrator, and it's just fine, so I tried to copy it's animations, but nothing's worked.

wow everyone in alton sounds like some prepubescent that has a turd in his throat other than that alton, il is pretty good i guess i have an arbitrary robot cap of four i can't have a mister handy follow me when i have a teslatron, robobrain, mister gutsy, and sentry bot follow me, even though i have space for him oh, and my sentry bots still don't have that [URL="http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/14427/?"]clean blue texture[/URL] that the others have

It's definitely not four, I've had more than that. It was a bitch to enter and exit buildings.

i also have cuddles, the dominated deathclaw, who at one point in time, was having a personal dilemma between returning to his people in the sky and staying with me has anyone ever tried having 12 Mister Handys? how was it? did it sound like a british pub? also, did you never use the companion command device? i use that whenever i feel like i don't want a treading brain machine teleportate to me all the time

[QUOTE=Drury;42261830]btw how do vertibirds fly in vanilla game, or presidential metro?[/QUOTE] Vertibirds use animations. The presidential metro train is a hat worn by a NPC you don't see. I'm absolutely serious.

[QUOTE=Naky;42261715]Do you know how those cars are powered? We're talking mad scientist shit here. They're entirely and completely propelled by invisible explosions. No, I'm not shitting you.

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;42275813]Vertibirds use animations. The presidential metro train is a hat worn by a NPC you don't see. I'm absolutely serious.[/QUOTE] I wonder if the player can use the console to get one and equip it

You totally can if you decide to mark it as playable in the GECK and get into your inventory via a console command.

[QUOTE=Blueleaf;42276497]I love how ridiculous the methods to create any kind of moving vehicle in Gamebryo sound.[/QUOTE] holy shit, i think i've just figured out why: everyone at Bethesda is an Ork. seriously, think about it.
