Has anybody on here made their own games? I'm just starting to play around with Unity.

Entertainment is a zero-sum game. Consumers have a finite amount of money to spend on games, so companies have a finite amount of money with which to produce games. (This applies to movies, TV, and music as well.) If other people like the same things you like, it increases the chances that...

I'd like to see Buffalo, New York in a Fallout Game. My grandparents live there. I haven't visited in forever, but I can remember some cool stuff from when I was a kid. It's situated on a strip of land between two great lakes and at the head of the Niagra river. It's across from Fort Erie in...

I'd like to see karma stick around as a measure of how much the wasteland likes you overall, but not necessarily as a thing that opens up or closes off connections with factions or potential companions or anything. What I'd really like to see is a screen that gives you a break down of how much...

Granted, I haven't read through all the bibles. I didn't realize that was the same guy in Jacobstown. Huh.

There's an NCR scientist in Fallout 2 that gives you a cyber-dog, but it kinda sucks if I recall correctly. I don't think it's as good as the one you steal from the Enclave.

Didn't NCR have a scientist who could make cyber-dogs? Is that canon? Could officers get cyber-horses? ...Naw, not on the NCR's budget. :/ I bet the NCR would have the experts and the know-how to make things like that but not the public funds or the stable infrastructures to mass-produce them.

Didn't stop the VietCong. They used bicycles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viet_Cong_and_Vietnam_People's_Army_logistics_and_equipment True, you can't shoot while you are on a bike. That's why you use them as part of a convoy.

Why doesn't anybody use bicycles in the post-apocalyptic future? ...And a Canticle for Leibowitz.

I've been writing out ideas for a Fallout-themed tabletop game I want to run using the BRP rules set. One of my factions, called the Myrmidons by others, owes its livelihood to the subterranean ecologies of mutated insects. They don't control the bugs like that... AntAgonizer character from...

You know what I want to see as a faction? Some sort of faceless, dystopian, mega-corporation. It's been centuries since the bombs fell. Let's see industry return and wreck shit.

I would balance out more powerful companions like super-mutants and robots by having them take up multiple companion slots. For example: "Butt", the player character, has a charisma of 8 granting him 4 companion slots. Sixty-Four, the feral-child raised by robots, is a 'normal' human companion...

Meh. I'll bite. Faction Name: The Colony Leader: Major Tom (a lost astronaut ghoulified by cosmic radiation) Location: A half-finished Enclave base on the moon. Ideology: To bring more ghouls to the moon and expand their nation across the lunar surface Religion: The faith of the newly arrived...

Well, a lot of the costumes from Max Max II: The Road Warrior were made from sports equipment.
