Awesome! What's the end-goal with the new HRP? Also, wait a sec... party members with drug addictions?

Yeah, but consider the following factor: MONEY. The fanbase has been wanting another Obsidian Fallout for a decade. It's about the only thing the Classic Fallout fanbase and the NuFallout fanbase agree on. The fanbase is also simply starved of Fallout content. There's also the fact we will...

That is true, from what I heard (didn't play 4, didn't have a computer for it at the time). Also heard good things about FO76 in that aspect. I don't want to see the West Coast outside the West Coast. That's weak ass derivative brand recognition and part of why FO3 sucked. I want to explore...

I think the Fallout universe is pretty diverse inside what it is, trying to constrain it is a mistake. It can be serious and grimdark, or goofy and zany. As long as it makes logical sense. As I like to say: Real life has no Tone. It can be funny one moment, tragic in another. I think the...

Thanks! I am always glad to make people a little more happy. Funny thing is, there was already space for FEV outside California since the Vault 13 Timeline, with talk of "Quarantine Towns" where FEV was being tested on people. Fallout 76 actually did it right.

Reminder that the Vault Experiments as a concept were coined by Tim Cain. I actually like the concept, althrough I think it kinda retro-taints the whole intention of V13 and the ending of FO1. But it's more of a fan-opinion than real canon. That said, I don't think the experiments actually...

AFAIK the only relevant FNV guy on Obsidian right now is Josh Sawyer. Obsidian nowadays is full of Danger Hairs, and I would't trust those people to write a Fallout game

Query: I've been wanting to get back into this mod, is there any mod compatible with it (or any FO2 mod) which nerfs all the insane laser resistances? A lot of enemies in FO1 use laser weapons like Laser Rifles and Gatling Lasers,, and Hardened Power Armor pretty much makes them harmless.

I think it's worth remembering that the low average life expectation of pre-industrial societies was mostly caused by all the infant mortality going on. People weren't all dying at 40, it's just that a lot of their children died before adulthood. I think it's also worth noting that a lot of...

Personally, I would love if the Fallout Tactics brand was resurrected. Bring in Gareth Davies and some of the others, and continue the saga of Fallout Tactics where it stopped.

Interesting ideas. Van Buren was going to allow some degree of player control of party members using the Speech Skill, if I remember right. SFall has an option that allows player control of CNPCs, perhaps something can be done with it, programming-wise, that allows for a stat-influenced...

Because most human cultures seem to consider cannibalism a creepy weird thing. Then again, there are cultures who were totally hunky-dory with it. The ancient Tupi tribes fought ritualized wars of revenge between tribes, and believed eating the flesh of their enemies would imbue them with their...

Yeah, I think that would be the way to go: Create an engine mimmicking the original Fallout engine. In fact, aside from the FOnline engine, I'm surprised we didn't have another attempt at this. It would be even better if it was a easily-moddable, open source engine. An OpenFallout, if you...

The source code of the original games is lost, which restrains A LOT what they can do.

They do use guns, they just don't use ONLY guns. Guns are not magical and they don't always drop people with one bullet unless its a killshot - especially with a stronger caliber. Police and military manuals tell that in a Ranged vs Melee combatant fight, if the distance between them is seven...

Had a few. One idea I had together with @The Dutch Ghost were Plant People. Short version: Pre-War artificial flora (possibly related to the Shi Vine) is unleashed on the Wasteland. It grows and with time, it becomes an intelligent, sapient entity of networked plants, fungi and such. Think...

AFAIK Radiation is not what is making normal Ghouls go feral. Some ghouls seem to go feral in a short span of time, others take centuries, if ever. Camp Searchlight Ghouls got hit by a big, fast pulse of radiation and went feral at once, but other ghouls seem to take years, decades, or more...

This is interesting and can be useful. I will be watching.

One silly(?) idea I had was that the pre-war IRS (or its Fallout equivalent) had their own AI at some point, made to keep tabs on taxes owned and collect them in any way by whatever means are available. I think I called it some silly name like Taxatron, TAXER or TAX-MAN. Anyway, after the war...

That would be neat, people scavenge and refurbish anything, robots would be a logical next step. It would also be interesting to see advanced factions actually creating their own robots, fit for the wasteland, and not based on anything pre-war. Like an AK-47 of robots.
