Fallout Series - Megathread

[Oasis]

Why isn't the riot shotgun on that poll?

It is the best weapon I have ever used.

[Man 2]

I reached the DC ruins after a long walk from Megaton and came in sight almost immediately of a squad of Talon Company mercenaries. One mercenary fired a missile to the ground near my character and crippled the entire right side of his body. After using my last stimpaks to heal the wounded limbs and dealing with the mercenaries at the expense of almost half of my health, I fled to the nearest settlement, Rivet City.
As I reached the banks of the Potomac chased by a homicidal Robobrain, I saw a pack of three Mirelurks running towards me.

So it was that the next minute was spent swimming across a wider point in the river while my character took in dangerous levels of radiation, while still being chased by the vicious enemies.

I reached the shore near the Jefferson Memorial and found the Mirelurks had given up on their pursuit. As I swam around the complex, the great broken aircraft carrier came into view, lights shimmering across it in the dark night. I reached a point on the shore closer to the city, only to find that three Super Mutants had caught sight of me, and were chasing me with hunting rifles blazing.

I reached the platform as the last of the bullets whizzed past my head and the Super Mutants lost me. God damn.

This game needs to give me a break, I hate being on the bottom of the food chain.

I was about to buy it for 7,500 out of my 7,583 caps from the gun runners, but I figured the ammo for it was too scarce.

You should write down a journal of your experiences, if it's all like that I would love to read it.

12 gauge is not scarce.

[Littledude]

I'm not a fan of shotguns.
I prefer more accurate medium-long range weapons.

I almost never, ever see it.

I wish Hoover dam looked like this





Also, a concept of mine for a game could take place in the Florida Panhandle/Alabama/Mississippi area.

You could go way to the south and find a town, along with a beach and functioning port (Pensacola) with many of it's hotels intact. To the very west would be Biloxi, with a few casino's left over (the hard rock hotel and casino) and Mobile, Alabama (Completely destroyed city, crater smack dab in the middle, settlement outside of crater called, "Cratertown") in between, with Vault 36 in it, and Vault 42 near Biloxi. There would be many swamps in the panhandle of Florida, mirelurks, those redneck things from Point Lookout, etc. Eglin AFB would be the only major Enclave installment in the Southeast.

The story would go as follows:
You are a man who wakes up on an enclave airplane. You don't remember your name or identity. You give yourself a name, look in a mirror (change your face around), and you watch out the window your descent into Eglin AFB, passing Pensacola and seeing the vast amount of buildings, and then touch down shortly into the Base. You are then greeted by an Enclave officer by a kick to the face, the game blacks out, intro screen, and you wake up again in an interrogation room. You shortly learn about you knowing about a secret vault, designed specifically for storing thousands of weapons, thousands of pounds of food, purified water, medical supplies, etc. Located somewhere in the Gulf Commonwealth. It has been sealed since 2077, and only 200 or so people know about it in the wasteland, and there is only one way to open it: a 128-digit code, inscribed in everyone's head from the vault you are from. Sadly, the Enclave killed just about everyone in said vault, looking for the combination. Little do they know, was that they were destroying what they wanted, one kill at a time. You are the only survivor from that vault.

You have lost your memory.



What the map would look like, more or less.

I know I'm not good at writing stories or something, but I am seriously considering that this would make a cool game and I could submit it to the developers :o

That'd be amazing.

I'm not a fan of shotguns.
I prefer more accurate medium-long range weapons.

I used them when I need power. If I am going long range, I use a generic sniper rifle with a silencer.

Otherwise, I use Maria.

[Jorici]

I would love it if a fallout game had that cartoony/gritty feel to it.

[Saber15]

a fallout game in florida would look tremendously boring imo; there's next to no elevation changes, so what you'd get is a huge expanse of damn near perfectly flat deserts.

in the beginning of the game id use the single shotgun to go up and blow their heads off in 1 shot

Actually, northern Florida is pretty hilly.

But, it is mainly rolling hills, not cliffs and such like Vegas and DC. I see where you are coming from.

[Littledude]

melee is really fun in New Vegas, I don't know why but it's not nearly as fun in Fallout 3.


When I make my character I don't really choose a combat skill in NV. I normally choose Speech, Science and either Repair or Medicine. I also like to put points into luck for them gambling games.

Where's y'alls love for the lasers?
