Forum:Why can't you search the body of the dead alien?



When you go to the UFO crash site there is crashed spaceship, a dead alien and the alien blaster ( plus ammo for it). I'm just wondering why you can't search the aliens body. Surely you could loot some ammo and his spacesuit?
 * I think the dead alien is just for show, not suppose to be able to loot him. But at least you can run around and pick up the ammo and gun. --Lord0din69 14:07, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing that the alien doesn't use pockets. Thus no where to search on him.

maybe he has a stash... or the enclave already took his stuffMr snip 10:26, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, the alien does make for an interesting wasteland "decoration" he's like a big stuffed animal you'd expect to win at a carnival - and the best part is the little guy's so irradiated he'll never rot! [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 16:45, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm kinda curious about his/her backstory. What was it doing over DC and what brought the ship down? I'm glad the wreck happened because I love taking out the Behemoth in 5 shots, but I would like to know the story behind it. Gsmikem 19:52, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The background on its story is pulp-fiction. It actually is a flying saucer, which is hilarious. What are the chances a real alien would actually own a flying saucer that looks exactly like one of the old, cheesy, black and white movie styled UFOs, made out of craft paper and mounted on wires. What, did they intercept our TV signals and build a look-a-like? If you want a wikipedia link, it's the Area-51 conspiracy craft.

 * I believe the look was the point. This was the world of our 1950's with all of their fear and conspiracy nonsense, but with their fears coming true. Basically, they were terrified of Communists dropping nukes on them, and scared of Aliens in round ships coming down to kill them with death rays. In the timeline for the Fallout universe, all of their fears came true. Gsmikem 20:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Ummmm... They didn't really believe in aliens I think. Just with the Roswell incident, it's kinda part of the culture. The alien has no backstory. It's just an easter egg, just like in FO1. Broeman 03:31, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You've got a good point, I don't think anyone can deny that the fallout world is definitely a worst-case-scenario. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 20:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

It seems that this was a recon craft (recon craft theta beacon) which observed the the holocaust and was sent to gather info. This point is raised somewhere in the wiki Mr snip 02:05, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Back to the point
(No Offense) Ya know,aliens smuggle things in their butts all the time.And I bet the Lone Wanderer wouldn't mind checking (He has done some really F**ked up things) so why can't we loot his butt??And bare in mind,I'm serious.I'm really not joking. HuangLee 16:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

They obviously have superior zipper-technology. Kamuikaze 17:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

They indeed do. HuangLee 20:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

the alien is very interesting it appears in the game in a place with almost no humans in the area and its stands to reason that their should have been more things there like armor or alien food or other things not just a gun and a little ammo.

seems strange to me how no one found him, or if they did, left all the stuff there. I know if i was in this situation, i'd definately go exploring. Flying Dagger 17:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it's not that hard to believe that no one's found it yet. I mean, it's out in a pretty desolate part of a desolate wasteland, not to mention it's completely out of the way of all trade routes, and there aren't any large settlements around for people to settle or raiders to trash. Plus we don't know how long it's been here on the planet, i'd assume a while now, but not too long.--Esscex 02:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I think it happened after the war, since if it happened before, they would have noticed [seeing as if you look closely, it crashed into a house]. Maybe it was investigating the nuclear war, and the pilot died because the ship didn't have enough radiation protection, hence the crash. Broeman 03:35, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

still the enclave should be able to see it from a vertibird or patrol. 20:17, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Enclave didn't show up in the capital till after the game starts, remember. Broeman 03:35, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

And it's been 200 year's scene the damned thing crashed! Oh well.....*Pew pew pew* --Meca-dope 17:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
