The saying depressing vs heroic is a bad description. I understand that you want a balance between hope and despair, but calling hope heroic is misleading. I doesn't matter how small of an impact you have, you are a hero to someone. Whether your an ass that ruins things or mother Theresa depends...

And the NCR was founded in Southern California with the ruins of LA and San Diego as founding regions. Those two cities would have been bombed hard. Being the first large targets the Chinese would have flown over. I'm not necessarily talking about large targets like New York or DC, but smaller...

For starters, this isn't about Bethesda or its writing abilities. They could write a good game if they want to, they choose not to and we get Fallout 4. That's all that needs to be said on the Bethesda sucks/Obsidian good front. After getting into the Fallout series with 3, it bugs me that the...

Video games for the most part are supposed to have some sort of heroic story. You as the PC are supposed to be the hero to someone. Did Bethesda go with a bad story direction with Fallout 3? Yes! I was making this point to someone, if Fallout 3 was set in 2247, the only thing that would change...

I would like to see a game set in Portland shortly after Fallout 2, roughly 2250-2265. I'd like to see all new factions. I actually wrote an outline of a story and have been refining it. It would revolve around a city like Vault City dealing with local factions. I'd like to see games set...

Speaking of stagnating, I've had an issue with each successive game being farther along in the time line. My point is that its getting harder to believe that the world is as fucked as it is when the NCR exists in Southern California. At some point, somewhere, someone else would have founded...

I personally hated the original Borderlands. I could never figure out how to advance the main quest. At least in TES or Fallout games, what advances the quest is blatantly handed to you. Hell, even Obsidian told me to go to the Strip to advance the quest. In Borderlands, I had like 20 quests and...

Fallout 4 is Borderlands. A better version of Borderlands, but still a load of crap. I liked Fallout 3 and thought Skyrim was meh, but Fallout 4 is shallow and a waste of time. I have 20 hours in and I'm getting bored. I'm going back to Dragon Age or Civ 5, hell, I'd give Obsidian a pass on...

I would like to see the Midwestern BoS encounter the Outcasts or a branch of the Western BoS. It would make for an interesting conflict. The hoard technology for no good reason folks meeting the we hoard technology and use it as a carrot to get what we want group. I liked Fallout 3, but the BoS...

1) It looks pretty 2) Gimmicks 3) "customization" 4) Story writing got left in the drive way 5) Didn't we learn all this at E3? My reaction as someone who enjoyed Oblivion and Fallout 3. Thanks Bethesda for going towards gimmicks instead of good story and world. Can we bring the teams that...

I personally like Bethesda, but I'm not an apologist. I did like Oblivion and rate it highly. It had decent writing compared to what came after it. I actually remember quests from Oblivion in some detail, mostly the Dark Brotherhood and Mages Guild quest lines. The same can't be said for Skyrim...

I always wanted to see a faction descend from Boy Scouts. That hasn't happened in game yet. But the bombs fell in October, so there weren't as many activities going on for Boy Scouts to survive outside of a city. Cascade Caravans: They move goods north of Portland, no real political...

Debating new game ideas and pushing the lore forward.Seeing how people react to a new location with no old factions, except the Enclave.

Or maybe slave camps? Where the ghouls and super mutants build things for the ON.

Maybe armies was a better way to put it.

RoW: The are looking to expand into new areas for the technology or what ever they could find. Maybe they know of the secret Vault and want it as some sort of prize. That could be one thing. CPR: They want the industrial equipment that they can salvage out of the ruins. And get factories going...

Any other questions? I haven't exactly thought everything out and the banter will help that. Some of what I have thought about seems better than what gets kicked out by modern game developers.

I'm not planning on working on it. I'm more of a writer. Computers are not my forte. The Enclave was just an idea to have a dubious faction, one with technology and knowledge. Or just pulling the strings in the background without being blatantly Enclave like in older games. My other idea was...

I started mulling this idea over after thinking about elements of Fallout Tactics and which parts of it will someday become canon.The parts of Tactics that I'm assuming are true with this story is that there was a Vault 0 with the Calculator in it and the BoS destroyed it after the conflict was...

That is completely true. Mormons still embrace double think and are not unheard of to disown someone for leaving the faith or subjugating them through indoctrination or black mail. There was a particularly preachy and empty Mormon girl at my school and she said they would disown people for...
