Forum:Mutant's Rising

I think a discussion of the Mutant's Rising 'mod' (and I use the term loosely) should be undertaken by the wiki's users to be included or not. This is mainly for the reason that it will be an entirely new game, and many people would come to the Vault for answers, as they do for all the games. I think it will be worth producing pages for it when it is released, and to have a non-canon tag attached to them. I think that it should be included as it is an extensive game, set in the Fallout Universe and with the same characters in some places, such as Cassidy. Thus, it is less of a fan mod than a game, and so should be included. This is obviously my stance, and it would be ultimately down to the bureaucrats, but I feel it is important and that it should be discussed with plenty of time. It's getting late, so I won't do an essay style post, unless it is really needed, but this should be sufficient for now. Lastly, I would be willing to do lots of work on this, so I will not be dumping it on people. I'll be playing it on release, and so will many others I'm sure. If this splits our Vault, then perhaps we should open it to general vote, but this will do for now. Thanks to all, 22:19, August 1, 2011 (UTC).


 * Not going to cover MR because it is not an official game. It's entirely fan-made with no oversight from either former or current license owners. As much as I like MR, including it here because it's a total conversion would be erroneous, pointless and misleading. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 22:48, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry my friend but I am 100% agree with Mikael. The Vault supports only the official content of the Fallout universe (like all existing wiki for their respective subject), it's the golden rule, otherwise it will become anything and the community could add anything, I can just create something and say that this is part of Fallout. Mutant's Rising is a fan mod created by fans so is unofficial and not connected with the official content of Fallout.


 * Also just a heads up but a Fallout modding wiki already exist for mods and modding content created by Dude101 (including for exemple all informations about Killap mod for FO2) -> Vault-Tec Labs. People wanting to find information, create page or contribute to any mods of any Fallout games should do there, not in The Vault =). Itachou [~talk~] 23:04, August 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, same reasons as stated above by Tagaziel and Itachou. User avatar tag.gif Avatar talk.png 10:04, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * But, through this logic, if say Chris Avellone took part then you would class it as official. But, then again I can see your point and I suppose is like saying fan fiction is official, which it isn't. Okay then chaps, you win :). TheGuardianCalligraphy.pngGuardianoftheWastesTag.png

P.S. Thanks for the quick response.
 * Chris Avellone taking part wouldn't make it official as he (sadly) cannot decide what is canon and what isn't at the moment and he would probably get sued if he tried. And we don't cover mods here. --233345-cartman1_tiny.gif Avatar talk.png 19:36, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
