Forum:My prediction. And yours?

Considering how these fallout games have gone and how bethesda works, I predict that fallout New Vegas will be a side project for Bethesda so they do everything they weren't able to do in Fallout 3. My prediction is that New Vegas will be a side adventure and have little to do with the Fallout main story. This is mainly because the fact that they announced Fallout 4 and if New Vegas had any significant plot turns then they would have called it Fallout 4. I doubt that New Vegas will have any enclave in it, even if it takes place before both their defeats. I don't believe the Enclave would have anything to do in pre or post-apocalyptic Vegas. I also don't think that there will be any vaults in the area that would be important to the story. Without, the enclave, Super Mutants, or the brotherhood of steel you have an area in the fallout universe that has no influences of the main story elements. This will give the developers a chance to put you in a character that has no real heroic purpose (Purifier, defeating the master, defeating the enclave, defeat mehrunes dagon). You can have a greater change on the society of New Vegas. I think that the authority of New vegas will be the Desert Rangers and New vegas will be a crime like society, much like New Reno and maybe a few elements of Pittsburgh. What would be interesting is if you have a mission to break into one of the military installations on the outskirts of Vegas to get advanced energy weapons and tech, but it's guarded by the Brotherhood of Steel. the fact that you could have no affiliation and basically work for yourself would be pretty cool. I know that you can do that in the other fallouts, but your characters personalities were mainly based on what decisions you made during the main quest. Rather than having really big choices that would effect the wasteland, this could be a game where you have many little choices that together will change the atmosphere of the game completely. I would like to know your opinions and predictions Kwayzar 16:14, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, Those predctions sound about right. They would be great ideas. Also, i hope they will make it so u can side with the "Evil" organistation (aka The Enclave) and not have 2 side with the "Good" organistation (aka The BoS) Also remember 2 sign you posts with four ~.

 * Fallout: New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian, not by Bethesda. And it might be connected to the New California Republic's expansion to the east, which is just as important as the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave. Ausir 19:30, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I think it will be about charting the course of the city's destiny.
 * Leave it independant and it becomes a battleground.
 * Help the NCR claim it and it become lawful and moralistic.
 * Help Vault City claim it and it becomes lawful and tyrannical.
 * Help foster an alliance with New Reno and it stays an anarchistic place full of opportunity.
 * Help Ceasar's Legion build a presence there and it's still anarchistic but opportunities only exist for the strong and powerful.

The Brotherhood of Steel will hopefully just have a tiny presence unimportant to the main plot. They don't care what happens to the city, they're just sticking around to loot certain sites. No Enclave will be present.--OvaltinePatrol 23:28, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

I like the idea of working for yourself and your own life. Just trying to get by and not being so well known and powerful. You could be like a lonely scavenger that actually needs to eat food and drink rare and precious water. I would also like more soft-drink companies. I know that Nuka-Cola was the most popular soda in the world but I would like to see something like Rad-Cola or, Fusion-Dew, "Nothing like a cold Fusion". Perhaps Nuclear Mist or Fallout Juice. Just suggestions... Andromada101 00:19, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Well, its been almost 9 months since I've revisited this this site and I love the new developments they have made. I have a feeling I will have to make about eight characters to get the full experience of the game. I loving the fact that there are so many more factions and many were from previous games. The NCR didn't even cross my mind with my original prediction but I much prefer Ceasar and NCR over the enclave. I wouldn't mind Cameos from the previous games and I have a feeling that they chose 2280 for the year so they can show us a hint of whats been happening in the east cost. Now that I have more info on the development I'll throw in some more predictions, as well as things I would love to see: Predictions from the Kwayzar:

I.)HARDCORE MODE sounds awesome if they do it appropriately. It presents a much more complicated idea of keeping your character alive in so many more different ways. Eating and drinking didn't sound so bad     a.)Hardcore mode healing-they said that wounds wont heal as quick and you will have to treat injuries differently 1.prediction-most because they didn't go into detail about it, i don't think they have reworked the mechanics on healing yourself completely. So far I think all they got is for you to use stimpacks they way they were used              in FO3 but act over time and probably have more body parts/areas/new injuries to repair. 2.Kwayzar wants- I think that in something like hardcore mode, you shouldnt have the ability to just hot key stimpacks and mash away as your health regenerates faster(i think thats all they got so far as to the mechanics of it). I would much prefer the ability to have minor(very short) first person cutscenes of the player character treating his or herself, being able to use vats points to do so. (V.A.T.S. healing style.) Maybe there could be a perk to make the cutscene faster allowing to treat bullet wounds, and laser burns in a fire fight, your aim might be off for the rest of the fight, or movement speed slower, because you may still suffer from pain but as long as you got the bleeding to stop, your wound penalties would not get worse. The longer wounds go untreated, the more penalties your character will endure to the point of recieving permanent disabilities. For example, If you break a leg, and you don't have the right medical equipment to splint and cast your leg, your character may suffer from a limp until he/she buys expensive surgery. b.)Drinking water and eating-Finding non contaminated food and water in the mojave desert will while trying to keep your rads low will prove to be a challenge but i got no problems with this even if they do it in the most basic way.

2.)STORY/SETTING. I was pretty close with my first prediction but heres the rundown of what they have released: Caesar's Legion slavers taken over most of new vegas. Main character is a courier and is shot and buried alive. Hes rescued and needs to find out why he was shot and what was in the package he was delivering.  Sounds like a story thats more personal to the main character and has his/her own reasons for doing what they do. I love the plot layout as you are not limited to someone else's bullshit problems like getting clean water just so that mercs and raiders steal of it.  Tenpenny tower had plenty of clean water so personally I could care less about that shit.  This is a vengeance story line driven by a little mystery and curiosity which i like a lot better.  Considering the amount of factions there are, I have a feeling that the side missions will be a lot more important then trying to find a goddamn violin. No predictions here, as of yet, but i have many wants with the story and setting. Unlike in fallout 3 where my character was able to walk up to a drugged up raider as he rains lead on my face, and yet the asshole would just stand there reloading until his five hundred rounds sets of my nuclear anomoly, i want reputation of your character to affect the game environment a lot more than just hearing 3dog talking shit about you on the radio. It didnt seem like anyone listened to the radio. I don't want it to seem like the character is a stranger or just another commoner cus my FO3 character was more or less immortal, no cheats. ill have more later Kwayzar 18:05, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
