A Guide to Fallout Players

Opinion of the Fallout World
Real Men / Women	Love the post-apocalypse setting, for the "survivalist" feel.
Real Roleplayers	Love the detailed and intricate plot, and often think that it is comparable to Wasteland (or better).
Loonies	Love the fact that "the world done got nuked!"
Munchkins	Love the fact that there are futuristic weapons and armor with which they can become supermen.

Favorite Part of Fallout
Real Men / Women	Love the realistic combat and death animations.
Real Roleplayers	Love the realism of the character generation and development, as well as the ease of interaction with the world.
Loonies	Love the silly random encounters, especially the cows that go "Moo, I say."
Munchkins	Love the easily exploitable bugs.

Biggest Problem with Fallout
Real Men / Women	Want more weapons and more melee options.
Real Roleplayers	Want more freedom in action.
Loonies	Want more Custard Pie Throwing Weapons.
Munchkins	Want there to be cheat codes.

Thoughts on the Time-Limit
Real Men / Women	Don't care; they can have plenty of fights and beat the game without ever encountering it.
Real Roleplayers	Are split; Some think it adds realism, others think it limits their freedom of action.
Loonies	Don't care, as long as they get to blow some things up first.
Munchkins	Hate it because they can't beat it in time.

Favorite Weapon
Real Men / Women	Like the Laser Gatling gun and the Super Sledge Hammer.
Real Roleplayers	Like the Sniper Rifle and the Brass Knuckles.
Loonies	Like the Red Ryder BB Gun (normal, not LE), and wish there were Custard Pies.
Munchkins	Like the Super Turbo Hardened Alien Ray Gun. ("What do you mean you can't get that without a Hex-editor? Well, I'm not giving MINE up! I found it fair and square! It must be a glitch that you couldn't find it!") .

Favorite Armor
Real Men / Women	Like the Hardened Power Armor (because of the Strength increase mostly).
Real Roleplayers	Like the Leather Jacket.
Loonies	Like the sexy Vault 13 logo spandex, but wish there was a clownsuit.

Real Roleplayers	Like Dogmeat.
Loonies	Wish they could find Stretch the Rubber Chicken.
Munchkins	Don't know what NPC stands for.

Favorite Random Encounter
Real Men / Women	Like the overturned truck (they can get lots of cool battle gear with all those caps).
Real Roleplayers	Like the Used Car Salesman, but wish that the encounters weren't random, they'd prefer to search for them.
Loonies	Like the T.A.R.D.I.S. (Dr.Who) encounter.
Munchkins	Are still combing the desert for the Titanic.

Wish Lists For Fallout2
Real Men / Women	Want more combat options and weapons, and tougher enemies wouldn't hurt.
Real Roleplayers	Want other races (Mutants, Ghouls), and greater functionality of the Ask About feature.
Loonies	Want more explosions, lots of Custard Pies, and a few Rubber Chickens.
Munchkins	Want multi-player capability, so they can blow up lots of other people, using their hacked characters.

Note: I didn't create this list. Nor do I know who did. Someone pointed it out to me... and that's all I know. That is all...
