    Bouncing Around Fallout 3 fanfic ideas

    I want to write, I know the first few projects you work on will be unsalavagable garbage, Fallout 3 as written is literary garbage, but it has a basic plot I could base a disposable work off of. See, unlike New Vegas where I actually like the story and would hew to it very closely, Fallout 3 is...

    If you were to build a Fallout like Game....

    I'm asking for ideas for what makes a good Fallout like game to others. Me personally I LOATHE the open world design, I want to go back to the big world maps with lots of space and room for random encounters. However, I love how easily moddable Bethesda games are. So my perfect Fallout-like game...

    Fallout 4 is Fixable* without a total Rewrite

    This is where you're wrong, flat out wrong in a game that's supposed to be mod friendly. You absolutely need to make new dialogue for the player character in new quest mods, for things new companions say, etc etc. They get away with it in Mass Effect because Mass Effect isn't designed to be...

    Fallout 4 is Fixable* without a total Rewrite

    The point of the thread is to argue Fallout 4 can be fixed with relatively little work to the main quest ie the only thing Bethesda put any time into. If you're talking about a "Proper Fallout Game" by my estimation you can never have one again because Fallout is expansive in scope. THere's...

    Fallout 4 is Fixable* without a total Rewrite

    Why, why does it need a full conversion? The answer is, unless you're going to make a world with an overmap, it doesn't. Mechanically it's fine, if boring and it's story though is strong, if badly executed. What it needs is a few non-dialogue skill checks and a few new buffering NPCs to provide...

    Fallout 4 is Fixable* without a total Rewrite

    I don't mind not building the game around murderhobos. You wanna shoot everything, play Borderlands. Player choice is ALWAYS an illusion, CRPGs run on Morton's Fork. The thing is, though all that stuff, traits, skills, and reputation have been added back in or in reputation case is baked in...

    Fallout 4 is Fixable* without a total Rewrite

    Notice what I'm saying. I'm not saying Fallout 4 could ever be a worthy successor to New Vegas, but it can be a passable game. With the dialogue extender from Cascadia and the no level limit for perks. Hear me out, you might like what I have to say: First, let's address the biggest concern in...

    Best Fallout 4 Mods...

    That's really good news. It's just that more quests won't fix the central problems of Fallout 4: a wasted city (Boston), the gameplay loop, and the fact that there are radiers everywhere. What this town needs isn't more power struggles. I needs an alchemy system (of some type) more harvestable...

    Classic Fallout Gameplay Flaws (Also New Vegas)

    What Fallout 1 and 2 got wrong mechanically: No horses, or robohorses You could only pick two traits. Looting on caravan runs was way too easy. The loot should have been tallied up and divided among you and the caravaners. There was no penalty for stealing stuff from bookcases in people's...

    Fallout 3 remake mod Capital Wasteland is cancelled - surprises nobody!

    I've played Fallout 3 in TTW and let me tell you, even half-assed FPS mechanics improve Fallout 3 immeasurably. Just adding in DT to Supermutants make them scary as hell at low levels, adding crafting even without plants to harvest makes the game more fun. Iron sights that don't require several...

    Best Fallout 4 Mods...

    We're all salty because mods will never be made to fix the game the way WE feel it should be. Fallout 4 has a strong main quest structure to build off of, all you really need to fix Fallout 4's main quest is recast Shawn, make him likable, give him the depth of say Willow from New Vegas, maybe...

    Fallout 3 remake mod Capital Wasteland is cancelled - surprises nobody!

    To be fair AnchorsAway, with all the stuff Fallout New Vegas/Cascadia was adding back in, it could have made Fallout 3 a much better gameplay experience. Add in settlement building for say the abandoned Vaults (which would have to be added by a mod of mod) and you're potentially looking at a...

    Help putting together a modern New Vegas mod list

    I was thinking of getting back into Fallout New Vegas. but I wanted to put all the bells and whistles on it. And a lot of these mods have come out in the last two years, so I wanna make sure I get it right. I was thinking Project Nevada (standard) Drivable Cars Solid Project STUN Fallout 4...

    Fallout 3 remake mod Capital Wasteland is cancelled - surprises nobody!

    I don't miss this project at all. They wanted a straight port instead making the game better with, you know, more weapons, adding DT or even making optional settlements.

    Does a game like this exist?

    There are two kinds of roleplaying games I want to find: Something set in the modern. Like VtM bloodlines but NOT World of Darkness, just modern day RPG maybe with some horror or sci-fi, but generally very grounded. A post-apocalypse that's fairly hard sci-fi. Hunt real animals grow real foods...

    What was the Funniest Argument You've had with a Bethesda Apologist?

    I think the real problem here isn't that he likes the post-apoclyptic themeing, it's that he wants the world to be that way 200 years after the bombs dropped. The biggest problem with Fallout 3 is that it isn't set, maybe 50, 60 years after the bombs fell. Well that and non of your choices...

    I Just Deleted That Horrible Game

    Part of thinks you're being sarcastic. Maybe not. I just invested a lot emotionally in Fallout and it's characters and it's history, for almost two decades. Any relationship that goes on that long is going to be resonant, whether or not it should be.

    I Just Deleted That Horrible Game

    This is cause for a small celebration. Since I came here I'm bargained, raged, gone through despair, hoped and watched. But finally today, I uninstalled that horrible game off my computer. That rancid gruel of mediocre shooter is off my fucking computer. Good fucking riddence. I'd delete the...
