If Fallout really did happen

Like Tactics? Found a cool mod for another game that reminds you of Fallout? Playing those crappy spin-off console games called "Fallout"? Discuss here.

If the events of Fallout really did happen what would you do??

Um, I would be dead? :lol:
We are talking about Fallout coming true, so with all these bombs I think you could only have a part of FoT, meaning the Roachers and maybe Deathclaws. Fev or not, humans wouldn't stand a chance(and naturally as these things happen suddenly, i don't think anyona would make it to the Vaults).

Voted: Not join Brotherhood.

I'd survive on my own. I'm a loner by nature (in games and real life) and can take care of myself.

First off i'd become a raider, and id' be alot more formidable than any of the f-ing radiers in fallout.

Later on, when things began to get more dangerous, id' become a merchant, selling off all the crap I stole. Hell, i might even try out for the brotherhood after that.

But knowing my sorry luck - i'd probably eat a golden bb from some angry townsfolk (or random piece of shrapnel), or get exposed to the FEV and turn into a ghoul before my journy of death and destruction even began.

My stats would look something like this:
ST 6, PE 6, EN 3, CH 3, IN 9, AG 7, LK 2
(which leaves a few skill points open to distribute...)
Too bad "dexterity" isn't on here, 'cause that's where all of my other skill points would be

Tag Skills:
Big Guns, Small Guns, Science, Unarmed, Energy Weapons
(I get at least five - cause I start off in a civilized world <dam "civilized" americans>)

Skill Percents:
Sm. Guns - 110%, Big Guns - 100%, Energy Weapons - 60%, Unarmed - 150%, Melee Weapons - 120%, Throwing - 90%, Sneak - 90%, Doctor-FirstAid-Lockpick-Steal are insignificant, Barter - 55%, Pilot - 15%, Repair - 55%, Outdoorsman - 60%

Perks:
*Bonus Rate of Fire
*Action Boy (lots of ranks)
*Weapon Handling
*Slayer
*Death Sense
*Sharpshooter (2 ranks)
*Twitch Gamer (which allows many other perk requirements to be bypassed for my case)
-Too many to mention here, and a few not even listed in fallout-

Derived:
Hit Points - (I dont want to guess), Melee Damage - 5, Armor Class - 14, Bonus Damage - 0%, Damage Resistance - 10%, Poison Resistance - 15%, Rad Resistance - 25%, Action Points - (well above 10), Skill Rate - (astronomical, about 45 or 50), Perk Rate - 3, Level/Experience - (dont want to guess).

Traits:
Night Person, Tech Wizard

I'd become a civvie in a proper town i.e Junction City and scour the wasteland fopr goods to sell in my gun shop that i will run, hire a bunch of bodyguards go out in the wastes every week to hone my skills then join brotherhood when a recriuting party comes round, along with my hired henchmen.

Or die horribly because they are NUCLEAR BOMBS AND WE WOULD ALL DIE !!! :twisted: DIE :twisted: DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

If the bombs really dropped, then I would be, uh, dead. Why? I live 15 minutes from a major city, (Philadelphia) thats why.

I'd make a killing by being a hard nut
Taking out the trash and keeping the one liners flowing like clotted blood on the wastes
Who knows they might make New York a prison and poison to find the president daughter

I'm quite curious how would anybody survive alone in the middle of the wasteland :wink: . Deathclaws, mutants, raiders would be too much for me. I'm not a superman. I'd become a merc and travel with caravans, or whatsoever just not to get wild :twisted: .

Point me towards the nearest Ground 0 and let me go running and screaming, letting my eyeball the the trigger for the warhead.

Well is this would happen,
(What except for the FEV Virus could really happen. Because Fallout is based that after we run out of Oil the thing will get really bad in the world. If I'm not completly wrong we will run out of Oil in 40 years maybe sooner if China and India get fully industrialized and the people change thier bikes for cars. So if we have till this date not updated our automobile, ship and airplane motors to hydrogenium we will have a big problem.)

I would after the Bombs hit storm the next police station get some SMG and ammo. Than drive to various Airfield till I find some working plane. Take off to Langley and search there in the CIA archives who really killed J.F.K. :-).

If the answer would piss me off.... well I'm in bad mood and armed. 8O

edit: Oh if I should encounter the BoS. I would shoot this fascist Barnaky.
