Reveilled posted:I'd like to see the vaults from Philip K Dick's The Penultimate Truth. Reminds me of 'This time of darkness'; HM Hoover book about a pair of kids living in a vast, crowded and decrepit city who try to escape by heading to the surface, which they're told is pretty much a barren wasteland, but turns out to be fine. Shades of 'Logan's Run' and the much later 'Wool', although it's heavily subverted there.

Heads up in case you play modded Fallout 4 but don't read the Fallout 4 modding thread; they just bumped Fallout 4's version again. Standard practice is to go into the Updates tab in Fallout 4's right-click-menu properties and set it to only update when you launch it, then only launch it from your mod manager, but it might be too late for that until the F4SE and unofficial patch crews catch up.

Somewhat adjacent to the idea of island nations spared any nuclear devastation, I always kinda liked the idea proposed for Van Buren that the Blackfoot reservation was situated far enough away from major metropolitan areas and military bases that it didn't suffer any direct damage. The idea that they'd be slavers and Sulik's sister was traded away until she wound up with them is a bit shakier. In conclusion, Fallout is a land of contrasts.

Given that places like Zion National Park (some 200km away from Las Vegas and more than double that to Salt Lake City) were missed by the bombs but still affected almost immediately by the aftermath I dont think many people got through the war unscathed. That was kind of the theme of the whole war - the world as it existed before was gone. Completely. Given the severity of the changes to weather patterns and climate change the bombs had on the continental US I suspect most small islands in the Pacific were either swept clean by storms or totally submerged.

I wouldn't mind that. One of the big things about Tactics was that it was supposed to take place in and around Chicago but the most urban place you visit is friggin' Macomb, IL and Great Bend, KS. Plenty they could do with that location and get away from the east coast.

yeah, get away from the east coast and finally put a pin in what's canon or not from tactics going off fnv the midwest brotherhood is barely the brotherhood by this point which could be interesting

Cream-of-Plenty posted:A novel idea, but you can't remove the flavours from the people themselves, so the vault would still be exposed to tastes. I bet that people would have even stronger tastes if that's the only thing that had any true flavour.  Of course it would start out much more innocently with people experimenting with adding bodily fluids and industrial waste to nutripaste. But when a minor radroach infestation pops up in November and there's a riot over who gets to take home a radroach for Thanksgiving, There's suddenly a lot of corpses and then things get interesting just in time for Christmas. In conclusion, long pig is very easy to come by in a vault.

I don't really know where you go f9r the themes of "classic" Fallout, NV and its dlcs really exhausted them (in superb fashion, mind). Lonesome Road's ending narration seemed like a definitive statement on the series.

dont be mean to me posted:I mean, in Fallout in-world terms, that doesn't rule out Toronto. In FO3's The Pitt, Ashur mentions their might being 'the envy of Ronto', so apparently there's still functioning civilization up here. I'd hate to see the Great White Yao Guai that result from mutated Polar Bears.

You don't even need to set it in Canada. Just have it in Chicago or Detroit or something and have a bunch of Canadarian trappers or Coureurs de Bois hunting mutant for beaver pelts along the great lakes.

I'm with the "Keep Fallout In America" crowd. Maybe it has moved away from it, but the series was originally about critiquing American cultural bullshit, and is inherently tied to America. The same with the Grand Theft Auto series, or even Yakuza. I do admit I am curious to see what some of those locations would look like. Maybe they could visit them for a short time, or cook up some Memory Den / Operation Anchorage style bullshit to have an excuse to why the player can go there. Maybe a Fallout set on the border between New York and Canada can work. Set it with Niagara Falls in the middle as a big impressive landmark. You get noted poo poo-hole Buffalo on south side of map, Toronto on North. Cook up some justification for why the west half of Lake Ontario is drained and then most the map won't be just water. I'm not sure what the difference in elevation between the lake bed and Toronto but the visual of a big city on what is essentially a cliff face would be cool, doubly so with all the docks sticking out and whatnot. Toronto also has The Path which could be a city unto itself. Then Buffalo is just. . . the garbage-pit you start the game in? Weird mutants from the lake? Raiders with hockey gear passing IED hockey pucks or something? Sending a mini-nuke over the falls in a barrel for some reason? Hell ya. Make the plot and theme of the game about America annexing Toronto in the past and Why Imperialism is Bad and Wrong, badda bing badda boom you got yourself a Fallout game. I think Fallout: Guam wouldn't be too bad either. Maybe more of a smaller scale side game. You'd be absolutely free of any prior existing post-war canon and the entire island would be the map. It has multiple military bases already on it, pure jungle in the middle, scattered settlements to the south, and a touristy 'Strip' area to the northwest. I had to fly to Guam for two days once to accomplish a drug test and I managed to drive around the entire island in like, an hour. You could recreate the island in 1:1 scale almost and make the player spend 5 hours walking from Lexington to Boston or whatever. Theres also already history of Japanese soldier(s) being trapped on the island, not knowing the war was over. Make them ghoulified Chinese soldiers, give them some foothold in the island to make them a proper faction, and then you a window into what pre-war China was like. Bethesda Hire Me You Fucks

King Shithead in CN Tower. Children of Atom preacher at Younge & Dundas to be a stand-in for that "PRAISE THE LORD!" dude. Big university justifies whatever high-tech crap you want to throw in? Weird Bizarre buildings with Retro-Future Stuff jammed inside of 1950s Architecture a la the ROM Crystal. Pacific Mall, except its not actually that different in the post-apocalypse compared to the pre-war era, it's just always been like That.

My brother and I are curious but hesitant. We're tempted to pre-order physical and see if we can get in the beta and then cancel if we don't like it, but I'm assuming they're anticipating that?
