Forum:2 large plot points

I think it's safe to say that the hoover dam will likely play a large role in the story, or at least be involved in one of the "bigger" side quests. what are your predictions on the dam's purpose? The other area i feel will likely have similar importance to tha dam would be Area 51. no, I'm not talking about more mothership zeta-esque crap. aliens don't belong in fallout, its just stupid. I'm talking about what if Area 51 was some major army base, and was used for testing of a new bomb or energy weapon? Maybe that's how it is in real life, and the alien thing is just a cover up? Maybe your character needs to break into area 51 to see what's REALLY happening in there —Preceding. Please sign your posts with ~ !
 * I hope that they'll use the Hoover Dam as described in Van Buren, which is likely considering that the developers are largely the same. Ausir(talk) 12:41, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Let's hope it. But then again... if the gameworld is set in or outside of Vegas, I can't really believe that Hoover Dam fits well into the whole. If the gameworld isn't scalled that horrible like in Fallout 3, the way should be far too long. --Mr.Lexx 08:54, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe Area 51 could have some alien technology in it but no aliens, aliens can be in the Fallout universe just not actual ones, corpse's, and equipment. It would be so cool to play as a Chinese spy stranded in the US after the war. A optional quest could be, to find the parts or person who can repair itSec 19 20:47, January 24, 2010 (UTC) Sec 19

I don't see why people are so adamant about excluding aliens from the Fallout universe. Personally, I think it's kind of nice to have an unknown beyond the other unknowns out there in the wasteland. Also, alien corpses and technology is okay, but not actual aliens? Really? Besides, aliens are as far out as Super Mutants and Ghouls, plus a great deal of sub-culture in the 50's revolved around them. 23:02, January 24, 2010 (PST)

To be honest, Aliens would actually make a good, main villian for another fallout game. Why? Who would be able to stop them?, the Brotherhood would put up a fight yeah, along with NCR and other powerful factions, plus any lines of defence will be swiftly destroyed by a freaking death ray on a mothership.Sec 19 21:55, January 25, 2010 (UTC) Sec 19

I don't think the aliens have a proper motiv to be a main villain. Kamuikaze 22:05, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

Fallout is about the world after the war not about the f@@ing aliens, it would be stupid (and it was) if you would try to save the world, fight for ur life on the destroyed earth and aliens would kidnap u, THEY LOOK GAY, they should be only in the easter eggs like in the f1, f2, f3 (without mothership zeta expansion), and as it was said in the first comment, ALIENS DO NOT BELONG IN FALLOUT, IT'S JUST STUPID.
