Discussing that company thats making vaults:
This would've been cool in 1960's. But today, I don't really see use for fallout shelters. The worst that can happen now is a nuclear terrorist attack. An all-out nuclear war, or alien/zombie invasion is extremely unlikely.
As opposed to the 60's when zombies and Aliens were VERY likely.
Topic: Trouble Understand Chronology:
I really dont understand the time-line of the whole thing, and the end of the world..
I mean, In game, its 2277 right?
So, the Apocalypse took place 200 years ago, meaning 2077, right?
And if so, how come whatever is left of the world is from the 1950's?
Sorry, I just dont get it, can someone clarify the origins of the game for me, Its just not explained clearly enough for me..
No, im not a retard -.-
I just didnt get this one particular aspect of the game.
He's not a retard folks!

It's called Retro-futurism.
I don't even know that the genre exist...
This is awesome!
Fallout Comic books anyone?
That would be awesome. I can imagine it now. "The Adventures of Herbert 'Daring' Dashwood, and his ghoul Man Servant, Argyle!
That wpuld be truely epic
It truely wpuld.
absolutely! Especially if the comic was done in old flash gordon / buck rogers style, as a supplement to the Fallout universe! I would buy every issue of that stuff (hint hint bethesda!)
It would be interesting to see a Fallout comic by the guy that makes Deadpool. It would be hilarious!!
Except Deadpool isn't hilarious. Neither are Bethesda.
Fallout comic would have VATS? yes or no
Important question!
Meh... maybe i'd read it if it was written by Alan Moore. Wait...... A fallout comic written by
Alan Moore? That would be [censored] awesome! :drool:
Yes, a butchered IP written by a man who constantly has is IP butchered would be amazing. I'm sure he'd be thrilled at playing on the rapists side for once.
Or Warren Ellis. I would buy every issue. And the collectors edition.
Alan Moore AND Warren Ellis? In the same thread!? These guys are clearly comic book experts.
New Vegas Stuff
Lets all hope FO:NV has a massive proportion of accessible buildings even if they have no purpose because in F3 the inaccessible buildings annoyed everyone!!!
Also wouldnt it be great if there were more look-out positions half way up key locations and sniper positions.
ALSO OUR HOME IN NV IF WE ARE GOING TO EVEN GET ONE NEEDS TO BE IN AN OPEN ENVIRON NOT TRAPPED WITHIN THE CONFINES OF MEGATON!!!!!!!!!
MORE HOUSE CHOICE AS WELL
BECAUSE ISNT FALLOUT ABOUT YOUR CHOICES!!!!!!!! Maybe there could be purchaseable houses and resting spots taken from the idea of the various taverns and hotels in F3(megaton+rivet city).
Also it would be great if you could Buy more than one house so you can drop of your loot at 2 different locations, one a forward position and one your home base kind of thing.
I would really like to be able to buy/start and operate my own business(mayby even be able to hire a few employes??) in the Fallout world to be able to sell some of the things I gather out in the world without having to go make multiple stops to multiple vendors and not allways be able to sell everythign I had intended to
I have a gut feeling that we will be able to run a Casino of some kind at some point in the game in some manner.
I think a tarnished map of the intire New Vegas world would be a nice addition no matter what the collector's edition includes (if there is one, of course) :fallout:
Random Stuff
I've never played Fallout 1 or 2 in very much depth, so I don't know if it rained in those games. But I'm just curious, do you think rain in Fallout is canon?
Should
adiation be more serious?
I got boared and looked up radiation poison on wikipedia
It say that just up to 50 rads you will get cancer
and 100 you would get serious skin burns
and you will bleed in the mouth and vomit alot
and about 500 rads would make you die within 30 hours
and 1000 is 100% certain death but you wont die
People lasted to live to 5000 radiation
well any way should radiation be more serious than just taking stats off you?
shouldent it make your mouth bleed, make you vomit alot, make you be delirius and have delirium
But yea, radiation wasint that a big deal in fallout 3 and you could just make it go away with some ointment stuff
but really its very diffucult to get rid of it.
It should be more realistic in new vegas
Discuss Nuka cola and whatnot.
i JUST noticed that 90% of the vaults in the CW are dead (they have no more SANE people in them, or their occupants are dead)
does anyonw know why?
He JUST noticed.
wait, they were experiments..?? so they werent meant to save anybody??
The last two quotes are from fallout_fan_boy by the way. Hey come on I bet he knows where all the hidden mini-nukes are!
Hello
Im curious to know what people think on how likely it is that fallout 3 could happen in real life. Prehaps not up to the point of super mutants but the world being destoried by nukes. They game idea obvously was thought up by the fact that its possible. general comments on this topic would be great!
Thank you
