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

I really long for a new Fallout..

Guys, I have reached the point in New Vegas where I have to pick a faction and I just killed Benny five minutes ago. The important question I must ask is this: What would Gordon Freeman do?

What's the best archive invalidation tool for both fallout 3 and New vegas.

[QUOTE=BananaFoam;43108270]The only thing I have against it is that the whole "Institute Android" shit was lore shattering. There is no technology in the Fallout world small enough and complex enough to build a fully replicated synthetic person. It goes against everything established. They don't even have fucking micortransistors. That, and it would have set up some very obvious black and white morality shit. There aren't nearly as memorable locations in Boston compared to other places, in my opinion. I mean, landmarks and shit don't make a good Fallout game but it is nice to see something recognizable, and people outside of New England will have no idea what any of it is. I don't want the Institute, but I don't want the West Coast either. I have seen enough of the NCR/Brotherhood shenanigans (3 full games of it out of 5 canon games in the series) for a lifetime. Other than the Institute, though, Boston would make a good choice. Not too big of a city, something more akin to DC, with lots of surrounding countryside too. However, I want to see a really big city. Old, towering, burnt-out skyscrapers, ruins high enough to see miles of wasteland. Exploring the tallest buildings, fighting urban warfare, that is the kind of Fallout game I want to see.[/QUOTE] Regarding the West Coast, I can agree with you there. If they set another game there, they'd either have to set it way further along in the timeline or set it up in the PNW where we haven't yet seen. As for the Institute, I thought they remained intact and "sealed away" for the duration of the interceding 200 years. If it was supposed to be a collection of brilliant minds, then I could see them working [i]something [/i] out. I mean, if they were able to do the kind of shit that they did at Big MT, then I wouldn't be surprised if the Institute could do something similar. Regarding landmarks though, what's the problem with that? DC had its landmarks, but half of them were decrepit or destroyed outright. The White House was a damn crater, even. Outside of DC there wasn't much in the way of instantly recognizable landmarks aside from perhaps the Beltway (ooo, a highway) and the remnants of some real-world suburbs. And Raven Rock, I guess. I do agree about the really big city part, but the thing is, most cities are probably rubble, if DC and outer Vegas are anything to go by. They could conceivably make an excuse though, I suppose, like "oh well they updated the building codes in [this city] to be nuke-resistant, which is why so much survived" and go on and have a mostly-intact city, but then people would probably call bullshit and we'd get more complaints of "they did a stupid thing for the sake of having a cool game" because you can't please anyone.

This could give the Vault dwellers ample time to set up a society within the city and rebuild. Just an idea.

I think Androids in the Fallout universe are probably something that was invented post war in the Institute, I mean clearly a community stuck for 200 years could have possibly invented the transistor and decided to throw the vacuum tube technology shit in the trash since it was old tech in their book.

speaking of the big MT, ive had a question that has been bugging me, was the mountain covering the entire facility then they destroyed it by accident, or was it covering only part of the facility, also if the mountain wasn't the shield against the nuke strikes, how did the big MT survive the war or was it just not targeted at all? or did they use some sort of shield generated by the dome, i mean its in a perfect crator so i always assumed the place was hit by the biggest bomb the chinese could find and the place is radioactive, but theres just very little damage all things considered

Sounds cool.

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;43110169]Yeah, that's exactly what I was saying. With 200 years and a community of scientists, I wouldn't put the achievement of transistors past them. [/QUOTE] EVen more plausible when you consider that the first experimentally practical transistors started popping up in the early 50s as well. They most likely did exist in research labs in the Fallout universe, I see no reason why such a research lab sealed away and intact for 2 centuries couldn't make them properly miniaturized. Also, there's the pip-boys. Sure the 2000 had a couple vac tubes, but there's also no way in hell it was [i]purely[/i] vacuum tube powered. There's got to be a few transistors in there, it's simply too powerful for its size to not have them, and I wouldn't be surprised if Vault-Tec had access to experimental electronic components to build the things. They certainly had access to a lot of other highly experimental tech. Furthermore, the 3000A doesn't seem to have a single vacuum tube in it from what I can see ingame unless you count the stupidly low profile CRT display a vacuum tube.

Whelp, looks like I'm starting a new character. Pretty much stuck early on in Dead Money and no saves outside. Can't say I like Dead Money either. Tons upon tons of annoyances and general bullshit. [editline]8th December 2013[/editline] New girl started. 5559933, tag skills barter, speech and energy weapons. Probably end being the biggest bitch in the wastes.

Have an attempted 1-Handed Speed run of Fallout 2 [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC6XJLC8Hxk[/media]

Damn, I was surprised by the ending.. that it really ended and I couldn't roam the "new" world. I want Fallout4 now. Or maybe I should do a new character, or play my current one a little bit more before the war.. aa I don't know.

anyone have experience with using texture mods with TTW? I forgot how shit FO3 looked and I want to make it better, but if it'll screw up how the Mojave looks (I'd prefer to use texture mods there too) I might not use it.

Nexus never seems to want to work when ever I want to install mods for New Vegas.

I've always focused mainly on Guns, Medicine and Speech, I want to go try something new to freshen up my New Vegas experience a bit. What kind of character should I play this time?
