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

This tumblr maybe a ARG or a prank Also What is this music? [url]http://12072299.tumblr.com/post/67040041439[/url]

Definitely an ARG.

I kinda want to play again but at this point I've ran through the game so many times I usually just get bored after the first area and never go back due to how insanely boring the start of the game is. Are there any mods, or at least save files, that would eliminate that tutorial stretch? It seems to go on for an eternity with the "Save Goodsprings!", "Save Primm!", and whatnot. Also are there any mods that make the NPCs look better? The whole plasticine look is really unsettling.

[url]http://12072299.tumblr.com/post/67040041439[/url][/QUOTE] I want to believe, but I'm going to assume it's a hoax just so my hopes aren't destroyed again.

[QUOTE=Lleamen;42874044] Are there any mods, or at least save files, that would eliminate that tutorial stretch? It seems to go on for an eternity with the "Save Goodsprings!", "Save Primm!", and whatnot.[/QUOTE] There is one way. Walk past Goodsprings the moment you get that rifle from the shooting tutorial, walk past. Just walk on and continue via the storyline, go the deathclaw way or the shooty shooty bandit way and ignore primm. Its all optional.

In case anyone's not reading the thread in SH: [QUOTE=Omolong;42874382]The page also now has this line: [code][/code] Which I believe refers to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanscom_Air_Force_Base]Hanscom Air Force Base[/url].[/QUOTE] [editline]15th November 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Omolong;42867223]No idea if anyone's noticed yet, but the [url]http://thesurvivor2299.com/[/url] site now references some images in the code: [img]http://puu.sh/5iEkh.png[/img] When you try and access any of the images or the site they're on, it automatically redirects you to [url]http://fallout.bethsoft.com/[/url]. This is either definitely Fallout, or someone is going quite some way to mess with people. Also note that Bethesda owns the [url]http://prepareforthefuture.com/[/url] site, which was used for advertising Fallout 3 stuff. The wiki goes into it more [url=http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Prepare_for_the_Future]here[/url].[/QUOTE] Also, I've just noticed this, no idea if anyone else has. The file "04_poster_battlesh_cov.png" could potentially refer to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_Cove]Battleship Cove[/url] in Fall River.

[QUOTE=TestECull;42868801]Mmmm, rail cannon. I do beg to disagree on it being expensive to feed, though. By the time I'm levelled enough to get that thing in the first place I've got over 3,000MFCs just sitting idle in my dresser drawer. Perhaps if you're using a mod that makes ammo more scarce it would be, but vanilla it shouldn't be hard to feed.[/QUOTE] ya would always spawn the railgun in at the beginning of the game before i knew where to find it, MFCs aren't really too expensive later in the game but before i get to new vegas, that thing would be difficult to use

.308 was kinda scarce during my playthrough, if I recall...

I think gun runners and Contreras sell butloads of .308 Unless there's a bug and it's just not showing up.

.308 is indeed pretty scarce. Even with the muties in DC using NV hunting rifles I've had trouble accruing a decent amount of the stuff. Best places to get it: Contreras AFTER doing his unmarked quest, the trader behind the truck at the 188. Contreras will sell it in batches of 1500 rounds or so, the lady behind the truck is close to 1000rds per batch.

Gun Runners has lots of ammo types, could also try a reloading bench.

Reposting my own comment from the SH topic about the Survivor2299 site. There's currently two audio files on the tumblr, one titled "The Survivor", the other is "Ella Deux" There's not much to hear in The Survivor, but you do hear a man breathing, after a moment he seems to load a revolver. The song "To Each His Own" by The Ink Spots plays. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMDsbSsmShw[/media] Ella Deux seems, to me at least, to be a continuation of The Survivor, with the unknown man speaking in what sounds like French, before firing the revolver, possibly killing himself. I have no idea what he says, or what the song that plays at the end of the clip is called, anyone know? God damn I'm hyped. EDIT: [img]http://i.imgur.com/ndoWp4w.jpg[/img] Also, the Ella Deux audio file seems to have been removed.

There appears to be a vault-tec logo on the survivor site now. Probably late, but just in case.

I'm literally overflowing with hype from this whole arg thing. I swear to god, if this is fake I'll commit suicide.

It's probably fake.

Uh-oh, references to West-Tek If this game has another recycling of the Master's storyline I will shoot myself.

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;42875889]Uh-oh, references to West-Tek If this game has another recycling of the Master's storyline I will shoot myself.[/QUOTE] I'd honestly be pissed to see another Super Mutant in F4. I want to go against something original; hell go dig out that dumb robot army from tactics before you send another green man against me.

Surely they'd learn that it would be better to remain faithful to the lore, right guys? Right?

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;42868082]"wads_atheneum.png" Could that be [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadsworth_Atheneum]Wadsworth Atheneum?[/url][/QUOTE] Holy shit if Fallout 4 takes place in Connecticut and Massachusetts I will die a happy man, as I live in Connecticut. It would be so cool to see some of these places that I know in post-apoc world. What if they had my school there (It's been around since 1854, the co-inventor of Polaroid graduated from it). [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich_Free_Academy[/url] (A lot of those buildings existed in the 50's, with the exception of the Library building (Far left), New gym (Tannish, built right behind the old gym which has the arched roof), and I'm not sure about the Shattuck Building, which is that ). [IMG]http://toppublicschools.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Norwich-Free-Academy5.jpg[/IMG] There are still fallout bunkers in some of the buildings too, they were not locked away back when my mom went there in the 80's, but they've been since sealed up.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;42875871]It's probably fake.[/QUOTE] Since Bethesda hasn't commented on it, I am cautiously optimistic.

Wait, this would explain the dreams I had about a nuclear apocalypse and my area a while ago! The first one involved terrorists, nukes, nuns shooting terrorists (I went to a catholic school), I remember the blood red of the sky, and how kids were bricking up the playground for some reason. Then the other one involved a nuke being dropped near my house and me dying. Fallout 4 confirmed Connecticut.

So if it's not a fallout 4 ARG then someone's played a mean prank :(

Someone on Reddit says the sites DNS resides at Bethesda. Can that be faked? [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/1qpvpn/posted_link_to_thesurvivor2299_on_facebook_chat/[/url] [editline]16th November 2013[/editline] I know nothing about internet

Another soundfile has been posted on [url]http://12072299.tumblr.com/[/url] Sound like a recording of a vault door opening. EDIT: Just found out it's a recording of the audio log from this -> [url]http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_74[/url]

So apparently you can buy these now for $15 each: [thumb]http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BZIfZyeCAAAsHE_.jpg:large[/thumb] Sincere apologies if late, I just saw this now.

Quick question, if I use tale of two wastelands can I use the weapon mods I have for 3 on New Vegas? Sorry if this has been asked many times already.

[QUOTE=DragonAwesome;42875667]I swear to god, if this is fake I'll commit suicide.[/QUOTE] Toxx. Grave mistake my friend.

Meh, NV is a great game but my mods are lacking. I only have three: Enhanced Visuals (EVE FNV), Weapons Mods Expanded, and New Vegas Bounties. Any other simple (good) mods to install / check out? Not looking for a heap of mods here, but something to juice up the experience a little more.
