Mmm, I do not think so.

No frfr look it even has Roger Maxson from FO1

Bit of a nitpick over people saying the Chinese launched the nukes, FO2's intro states.

Despite claims in the fallout bible that war was taking place on the mainland, this contradicts the various pre-war 'last ditch' weapons of America such as FEV and various mutants and the like. I mean if you're winning the damned war you don't resort to immoral experimentation on your own troops.

So as of FO2, we have no clue who launched the nukes, with there being no real mystery because it doesn't matter who did.

I heard somewhere it was space aliens.

That is from Mothership Zeta DLC from FO3. It's...Questionable but amusing.

Still not buying it, I think it's some sort of fanfiction game?

New Thread Made For the Particular Topic of Bethesda versus Interplay/Obsidian Game World Design in Fallout That Has Been Going On For Ten Pages...

Fallout - Perpetual Debate of Bethesda Versus Interplay/Obsidian Fallout World Design

One thing which breaks my immersion is that settlements attract nameless NPC's who never actually show up in the wasteland. Like what? Are these people living in the sewers or the aether or something? It would've been neat if without settlements they wander around doing generic scavenger stuff...

Was it necessary?

Was it necessary?

Better than one megathread where everything is crammed together.
It will need some getting used to, though, given how we did the opposite for a while.

Good for SEO, too.

Seeing ten pages of back and forth on the same topic is boring as fuck and just results in bored scrolling. Especially since most of the posts are like a few lines of the same arguments and whatever.

Literally the ten pages could've been summarized in one video.



And then New Vegas crashed. 😔

Fallout TV has reached Fallout Shelter and they have even posted the SPECIAL stats for the main characters according to Bethesda.

Time to give Fallout back to Chris Avellone and random fanfic writers.

So per some people on Discord I went ahead with making a DnD Campaign based on the WEST Coast (Doubt anyone would join here) the main plot is

Takes place a year after New Vegas, an Neutral-Evil Courier accomplished a "House Always Wins" ending. During the anniversary celebration of independent New Vegas a major city in the NCR ends up getting nuked, NCR Senators accuses Robert House of the bombing and gears up the NCR for a potential retaliation and full on invasion that makes the Mojave Campaign look like a joke.

Robert House sends Courier 6 over to de-escalate the situation with the NCR and buy him sometime. House is confident that with his Securitrons he can beat an NCR invasion but it would be a pyrrhic victory resulting in him loosing too many Securitrons to keep Vegas secure and thusly give him a massive setback. He uses Victor to recruit a "B Team" across New Vegas to conduct a series of missions for him that will keep Vegas secure with the end goal being the completion of a rocket (which is almost done by the time the campaign starts) that launches into space, the rocket upon reaching space deploys its package which is seven orbital weapon satellites and a mobile fabricator capable of rearming and maintaining the satellites indefinitely with the space debris in Earth's orbit.

The missions will be a series of quests involving: gathering key components, eliminating threats, protecting objects or individuals necessary for the launch of the space rocket. The name of the weapon satellite project launch will be called "Project SECURITAS", a series of orbital weapons that will provide coverage of New Vegas and be capable of annihilating any armies that march to Vegas in mere minutes.

Of course all they will know at the start is Robert House has been looking for talented individuals to cover for Courier 6 until they return, House will slowly reveal more information to the players as they prove more competent and trustworthy they also won't be his only card in play if you know what I mean.

There'll also be two secret antagonists and an alternate ending for players who don't want Robert House to win and a secret boss fight if they decide to betray House

Edit: And yes there'll be new locations and or changed existing locations in New Vegas based on the one year time skip, DLC areas will be apart of the main quest too.

Scooby? For Super Mutants you can use Ogres. Depending on the edition of D+D...well if it was First or even Second edition I would say grab a copy of Gamma World 1-3rd edition and looks at the tools and weapons there.
The Mojave Wasteland with a Death Machine? Nope, nope, nope, oh HELL NO!

I figured narratively that House would have made substantial progress in his space program but because of the NCR he has to switch to weaponizing it because War..war never changes

*let's it rain money!!*
Yes yes YES!!

 

[Scooby Doo]

And btw the main goal IS to see the launch of the satellites

But one of the secret antagonists don't want that to happen, I'll give the players the option to prevent it from happening but will require betraying House.

Here is a strange question but...where are the clothes coming from? The Pre war stocks should have been destroyed, used, or wrecked after 200 years. The only material left is leather. Flax, wool, and cotton require farms to get from and well so far we have seen no large scale growing of cotton, flax or even keeping sheep.

Of course people eat and there is farming even in podunk towns going by every fallout since 1.
Considering that there is more or less mutant corn everywhere since 1, and that corn fabric is a thing, could be at least that.

You know you could steal the idea of the doom dice from Mork Borg. Every day you roll a dice and depending on how severe the dice you want to use...from D100 to D2, every time a natural 1 pops up you can have a rad storm hit the area.

Rad Storms are kind of a East Coast phenomenon.
New Vegas wouldn't experience that because House shot down the majority of nukes before they arrived, I don't even think NCR territory experience rad storms. The only way players in the campaign could experience that is if they got teleported to the East Coast
