Duck and Cover

Those buildings in those videos were also close to the blast. Those nukes we dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki left quite a few buildings standing. It's things like this that make me wonder if you're just talking to hear yourself talk. And you keep going on about how China nuked everything, so all ...

Funny, judging by the intro to Fallout, they pretty much nuked everything. If they nuked everything no pre-war buildings would be standing. Remember those old videos of the government testing nukes on houses and other buildings? Those buildings were completely destroyed. Humans are a bit more resil...

That's just semantics. The point is that a game where the only thing in trouble is your village wouldn't be much fun. You would go and kill the local raider boss and then the credits roll. Also, it lacks the epic save-the-world feeling a good RPG needs to succeed. No, the Water Chip was the first s...

Yeah, that was my point. The BOS didn't have anything in their exodus between Mariposa and Lost Hills. If they'd had a city or something like the Glow between them, they would have encountered radiation. My point was that China would be tring to wipe out high-profile targets such as The Glow, Washi...

LA was hit pretty damn hard. Look at the world map. There are cratters all around the city. Did you happen to notice that huge Crater south of the city. That was a huge bomb that detonated, especialy if it was an air burst. I was talking about the LA Boneward. I'm a canadian, I don't care what your...

And that is relevent to threats present in a prequel...how? That was sort of meant for Pyros "raiders wouldn't be a good first quest. They would be too easy, you need something tougher". But here: There would be tons of enemies(or threats if you want) in a prequel, Ghouls in early stages,...

They left right after the war too and weren't in an area with major targets. If the Glow or LA were between Mariposa and Lost Hills, things would have been different. Not every single city was a major target, if LA was a major target almost no building would be standing. And even if a few Chinese n...

by being shot in the head and falling on the floor? I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. What about radiation? Quote from the Sophia Tape, Page 1 "While there was no radioactive fallout to contend with" The Maxson at the Mariposa Base sent out a guy in power armour to take ...

towns would have just started, and theyd probably kill all outsiders as they might think they'd be to radioactive/crazy I don't see why, they might be wary of stragers a first but you could probably win thier trust. you couldnt wander the wasteland without taking a mouthful of rad-x. and how would ...

they went in through Canada . Yeah alright I agree there's probably power armour in canada. I though China invaded Alaska then the US reclaimed it quickly. But they didn't China invades in the winter of 2066 then the US reclaims it in January 2077. Still they probably didn't leave a lot of troops t...

Canada would have Power Armor, so that's not entirely true, is it? Well, alright you have a point. But I doubt the US would send a huge army of Power Armoured troops to defend Canada especially when they're at war with China. And personally, I wouldn't mind setting Fallout 3 right on top of FOT jus...

Alright Saint Proverbius, how would you continue the series? Move it to another country? No power Armour. Move it to another part of the US? It would overlap FO, FO2 or FOT. Make it after FO2? As I said, FO2 was too advanced both tecnologicly and politically. The only way to make a FO that feels the...

I'm not saying that you shouldn't be able to kill Grey, but as I said Grey becoming the Master is one of many paths that your char could take. FO is already set in stone, so it dosn't matter what you could do in a prequel. You could kill Grey, kill everybody in the BOS, kill every living thing in th...

And a prequel would also offer nothing new to the universe. And why not allow the story to continue? There's plenty of non-used ideas. A prequel would be boring and unimportant since you can't change or define the future, because the future is already set. Sounds boring to me. :? A sequel would off...

what happens if you did not want the water merchants to take control. what is to stop you from killing them. If you made it so that you could not keep them from gaining controll then you are making the game more linier. what happens if you decide to kill harrold or even Richard Grey. If that happen...

Well, why not make it so that your char is there to witness the history that was talked about in FO? The quests are there, the water merchants taking control of the hubs water, join the BOS that go to the Glow, join Grey and Harold going to the military base (you could be the one that drags Harold o...

FireWolf so if I understand you (which I probably didn't) you don't like the idea of a prequel because of the continuity problems (ex. go back in time and kill your mother before she had you), But a prequel has the same continuity problems as FO2: How could NCR exist if you left Tandi with the raide...
