Forum:Fallout game ideas

I'd like to hear some cool ideas of what people think would be the perfect fallout game. It doesn't have to be centered around a certain time, or even follow fallout canon, it's just your perfect fallout game. Here's mine: Has to be co-op, just think of what it would be like to blow up your best friend with a mini-nuke. And a little more realism would be nice. So, say I go on a Raider hunt for a week, I don't want to run into a 5-man Raider party every 50 yards the next week. Instead of having a few dialog options, why not speak to the character through the headset (that'd be pretty friggin' sweet,huh). And when I pick up an item to move it, I want to have actual control of it, and not have it flip-flopping around in mid-air. I mean, it gets pretty tough sometimes when I'm trying to throw a feral ghoul's body off of a staircase.Rainman222 18:18, January 9, 2010 (UTC)Rainman222


 * How the heck could you program a NPC to respond to voice, there are so many things you could say in a conversation and it would have to detect that and formulate a response on what you just said. - RASICTalk 20:32, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Well I know that, I'm just saying it would be cool if you could do that.Rainman222 20:54, January 10, 2010 (UTC)Rainman222

Honestly i would like a game set in a alternative universe where the great war didn't happen and your a soldier in the US Army invading China and North Korea or Chinese soldier repelling the invasion and invading America. A major theme of this game would be scavaging for fuel and spare parts to keep you and your squad going ( due to lack of resources). I know its not really a fallout game but meh, if made right it would be excellant Sec 19 15:55, January 12, 2010 (UTC) Sec 19

For speech recognition you could use a verbal text parser and have viable dialogue options displayed onscreen. If you say something the game doesnt recognise the NPC could just say "What" etc...

Story: You live in Denver, Colorado. The war comes. Terror happens. Colorado is hit by bombs. You (as in the player) rush to your vault, vault 7. This vault was designed to open after 10 years. It opens when you are 25. You actually get to run to the vault as the bombs drop. You take the goat, as in the pre game at age 1 in your house you pick SPECIAL, and take GOAT in vault, one year after the war. October 23 2087, you exit the vault. You travel, and start up a small community with other members of the vault. You have to command your city, blocking it from attacks, building buildings, and scavenging. Youc ans till explore the barren wasteland, but your town is your home. You must spend the mainstoryline visiting ither towns and factions, getting more citizens from them, and trade routes. Many side quests await you in those towns, and quests for their trust. Liam Spencer 14:43, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

I think they should introduce the British, who you could argue are such a geographically small nation, avoided much of the war, in the next Fallout game, but still set in Post Nuclear America, you know having them recolonizing America. You discover a large luxury oceanliner, full of British people and the ship is caught on a rock somewhere but the water is too shallow for it to sink. You discover that they were on their way to a new colony called New Jamestown. This settlement would be a 1950s style industrial British city with all the terraces, corner shops, and fashions you would expect. They would have socialized healthcare, unique clothing and perhaps a railroad connection to another colony using a nuclear powered Mallard style train. It could be then revealed later on that during the war, the British (and other Commonwealth/Empire countries such as Australia)attacked America when they annexed Canada and managed to make it look like China did it (that would be a good twist) but that wouldn't be a main quest. But it should be centered around the North East of America. What do you guys think? Thetford 17:07, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hahahaha-- NO. The Great Britain, along with the rest of the European War collapsed in the wake of the Resource Wars in the Middle East, after the fields dried up in 2060. Please, familiarize yourself with at least basic Fallout facts before posting. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/thumb/4/4a/Naglowaa_se.gif/11px-Naglowaa_se.gif Tagaziel (call!) 23:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

It was only a suggestion. Not everyone will know EVERY SINGLE fact. Anyway I only suggested it as the culture of 1950s Britain (an industrial nation recovering from a war and large community spirit and a still important class system) is completley the opposite of the culture of 50s America of hope, optimmism and the American dream. Anyway, if the European nations descended into war over oil, and if the 1950s European culture of the CND and other anti nuclear sentiments, one could therefore assume that since the war was between Europe and Arab nations, then it would be only a conventional war and have the same effects (but longer lasting) as WWII. I was only thinking outside of the box and suggestion a completely new aspect to the game and using some creativity and logic. Anyway, did you read the top of the thread before posting? "It doesn't have to be centered around a certain time, or even follow fallout canon, it's just your perfect fallout game". There is just no need to be snobbish and elite about it. It was only an idea. Thetford 19:02, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just can't help but think of the Snuke episode of South Park when you mentioned the English invading the US. Anyway, like the Australians would do anything to help the Brits after the abandonment during WWII, much more likely that the Aussies would be on China's side than anyones.

Don't even bother with that guy, he posts stuff all over the site trying to flaunt his Fallout knowledge in a jackass-ish way, just to piss everyone off.Rainman222 23:25, January 22, 2010 (UTC)Rainman222

Why have a nuclear powered train when you could just power the tracks with a nuclear power plant? 97.123.32.153 05:04, January 23, 2010 (UTC)

That mid-war idea isn't that interesting. it'd be mostly like cod modern warfare, just with power armor and miniguns and laser rifles. but it gave me a cool idea. there should be a Fallout right after the war. the character is a US soldier(can still be Chinese or another race though) that survived in shelter s/he found. all of his/her beloved soldier buds died in the nuclear blasts, and he's left alone in ruined China. radiation levels would be dangerous in some areas, and people and animals would be just beginning to mutate. guns and food would be easier to find. and since it's a different country, there could be a whole new creature replacing the Super Mutants, so there could be a new army worthy of rivaling the Master's army. the soldier's story would be about fighting the new enemy, trying to be accepted and survive in a foreign wasteland, and working to find a way to get back to his/her family(can include husband or wife and kids if player chooses), the whole time desperately hoping the family survived the bombings. this story would be filled with emotion, racism against the player, and a struggle against the new enemies the developer would think of. and although i HATE definitive endings, it would have to have one since it ends with the soldier going back to USA.
