    Your ideas for factions?

    One idea I have kicked around in my head is the idea of a faction with a basis in a traditional martial art like jujitsu. Specifically Dan Zan Ryu which is what I know. Historically we existed in high numbers in California, Western Nevada and Hawaii. Some of us are the survivalist types so it...

    Your thoughts on New Reno? Was it a good Fallout-location or not?

    My issue with New Reno would be that its primarily a tourist town existing in a world where there aren't that many people with disposable income and there is very little capacity to travel great distances in a reasonable amount of time. If we are going to let that bit be sacrificed for the sake...

    What makes for a good Fallout-game/fanfic location?

    When it comes to writing, you need to tell a good story and keep the story consistent with the world. You can set a story in a remote valley in California's Coastal Range, but the setting sets the story and contributes to the conflict, its not what defines it. Just like with video games, the...

    Does anyone else realize how stupid Arthur Maxson being sent East Coast is?

    If the Brotherhood is going to exist outside of the West Coast, I would personally like it if a new chapter was started via Maxson talking to friends he had in the Army after the bombs went off or be expeditions sent out from the East Coast or Midwest. It wouldn't make sense for the Western...

    If you could make one change to the Fallout Lore, what would it be?

    One thing I would change is the Enclave's plan to genocide the world again in Fallout 2 and New Vegas. I get that there was generally a "Nazis are like totally evil" reference in most video games before every video game franchise needed to have zombies shoehorned into them, but there are other...

    Why is walking seemingly the only method of transportation?

    Why there isn't other forms of transportation is down to 2 things, the knowledge to build and maintain the vehicles and their infrastructure and the infrastructure itself. As much as buildings in the Fallout universe are made of things that don't degrade over 200+ years, they would degrade...

    Ideas for future Fallout games, A real Fallout 4 possibly?

    There are a few things about Fallout Lore in general that have always bugged me, but take in mind some of these gripes will be sort of inside knowledge considering I am from and have lived in Northern California and Western Nevada my entire life. One thing that always bugged me about Fallout New...

    Does anyone else realize how stupid Arthur Maxson being sent East Coast is?

    The Enclave at this point was run by an AI who's perception of time and reality were never established. For the sake of a thought experiment, what would your perception of time be if you had all of recorded history from the Library of Congress to fall back on? It would be unfathomable for us...

    My Fallout 4 Setup and Plot Points

    After thinking about it, I was thinking of having the facility be a Med Tech that acts as a lifeboat. Meaning people get frozen so Med Tech or whom ever could survive and do what every they want. Whether or not they'd make an appearance in the story would be something else.

    Dead Money & Oxhorn

    I describe Fallout 4 as getting hot cookie dough from the wrong cookie because it is at least a Fallout game, but its a shitty one.

    My Fallout 4 Setup and Plot Points

    My reasoning for leaving some semi preset characters was purely for speech checks in the world. I did mention that I would leave a blank slate option for those that would want it along with the characters with some background. And this would take out the entire "muh baby is gone, ooooo look a...

    My Fallout 4 Setup and Plot Points

    I was thinking having the pods fail due to negligence on the part of Med Tech instead of the auspices of the Enclave/Vault Tec. Other companies should be involved more in the series rather than their remnant facilities being just ghoul kill fests.

    My Fallout 4 Setup and Plot Points

    I've been thinking about Fallout 4 and what I would have liked to see over what was actually produced. The points are similar, but the setup and surrounding story I'd like are different. The main difference would be the game should have been set in 2177 rather than 2287. Vault 111: I would...

    Stupid Things About Fallout 3

    The Vaults annoyed the crap out of me. Even I knew that the Vaults weren't supposed to be science experiments. How can you justify drugging a population as a social experiment? I could get Vault 92's experiment if it weren't about super soldiers and just keeping people passive generally, but...

    Stupid Things About Fallout 3

    My issues with Fallout 3 are its placement in the time line, the factions and how sparse the setting is. I think Fallout 3 and 4 should have been set in 2177. This would make sure the BoS couldn't have been a faction and there would have to have been something more original. I would have taken a...

    Was Fallout 3 your introduction to the Fallout series?

    Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game and I bloody loved it! Couldn't and can't get enough. Fallout NV was good for different reasons. 3 was my favorite between the two despite the story getting stuck in my craw.

    Dead Money & Oxhorn

    I have a love hate relationship with Oxhorn's channel. He does stretch things way too much sometimes and makes stupid speculation at times. Mostly when he blames the Institute for literally everything, settlement gets wiped out, Institute! Crops fail, Institute! I'm typing this....you guessed it...

    Why did Vault-Tec put so many Vaults right outside Vegas.

    From a story perspective it doesn't make sense unless Vault Tec higher ups thought House would do something to protect Vegas from the war. Vaults 21 and 34 make sense, but 3, 11, 19, and 22 don't make all that much sense from a story perspective. I always wished that there were some other...

    My "Fallout 4" Opening

    If I could redo the entire opening of 4 it would still involve a pre-war portion, but you'd choose between one of the residents of Sanctuary Hills. Everyone in Sanctuary Hills gets into the Vault (later finding out that the development was built by Med Tech to get test subjects for the cryopods)...

    Am I the only one that's had this though?

    It feels like Fallouts 3 and 4 should have taken place around the same point as the original Fallout instead of 200 years after the bombs dropped. For example, 1. Both Bost...I mean Cawmonwealth and DC are still unstable and haven't even reached the same point as SoCal. (I have my own opinion on...
