Forum:Fallout 4 NY ideas

Okay so I have yet to see this thread on here so I figure I'll start it. This is how I see a Fallout 4 take place in New York as well as some ideas for factions, quests, weapons and the like. Please feel free to add your two caps(See what I did there? Aren't I clever?) in here.

MAIN STORYLINE IDEA

We start out in a Vault Tec "secret" Vault. You play a Vault resident who is descended from a Vault Tec C.E.O or some other V.I.P. Your Vaults main objective is to repopulate New York and protect "Project Vault Tech". You do your daily Vault duties which serve as the main tutorial and S.P.E.C.I.A.L assignment. Your skill assignment will be an evaluation that determines your new job for the following week. That night however, the Vault is raided and everyone is called into arms against the intruders, which allows you to use V.A.T.S now. Although you manage to take out some of the intruders, you find yourself funneled into the Overseers office to find him dying. He opens a secret passage way to "Poject Vault Tech" which is revealed to be the Pip Boy 4000. You are then caught and brought outside of the Vault to be killed by the intruders leader, who is revealed to be a local Raider who somehow accessed the Vault from the outside. As he is about to kill you, He and his men are attacked by the NYPD of the New York Wasteland, a group of individuals who chase the Raiders away and leave you alone, wounded and surely to die. You are soon rescued by a young woman medic who saves your life and takes you to Central, which serves as the Megaton of the New York Wasteland. You awaken with a mission: to learn how the Raiders obtained the Vault codes and why they came after your Vault in the first place.

Over the course of the game's main questline, you learn the Raiders were actually hired by Caesar of Caesars Legion to obtain the Pip Boy 4000 due to it contains the launch codes to the last active nuke in the city. Caesar wishes to use it to wipe out all of New York and rename it New Rome and live life as Julius Caesar did and conquer the world while it is still in chaos. You are then given a choice of wether to join Caesars Legion and live life as a slaver in New Rome or divert the nuke to the river where his boats prevent foreign Wastelanders from seeking a new life in the American Wastes.

JOINABLE FACTIONS

Caesars Legion-Caesars Legion are a well-organized fighting force and absolutely merciless in their slavery. Mimicking the ancient traditions of the Roman Empire, the legionnaires dress in segmented football pad armor and decorated football helmets. Joining this faction will grant you Slaver status, a unique pistol called Lincoln's Fall as well as a free pass through Uptown New York. Joining this faction will prevent you from joining the NYPD and The BoS.

NYPD- The people of the New York wastes needed a law enforcement they could trust. They chose to rally behind an old story about brave men and women who laid their lives down for the city. Those men and women were a part of the NYPD- The New York Protector Division. Joining this faction enables you to earn the title of Officer, a unique Trench Club named the Arm of the Law and a pardon for any small crime you commit(stealing, assault, etc) Joining this Faction will prevent you from joining Caesars Legion.

Hunter Force- A faction made in 2188. There job is to explore the wastes, and destroy any hostile creatures. They are trying to cleanse the place of Super Mutants, Ghouls and other nasty creatures. You can join and get a Specialist Hunting Rifle, and a new perk which increases your damage on creatures and your damage resistance from creature attacks.

More to come soon. My laptop is slowing down. Please feel to add some stuff if you want.

NEW WEAPONS

Trench Club- If you ever saw the film Defendor(If you haven't, check your local Red Box, it's quite good) then you know clubs never go out of style. Plus Police Batons just don't have the same crush as a club. If you played Oblivion, you know what I'm talking about!

Tommy Guns- You know you'd love to whip one out and say "SAY HELLO TO MAH LITTLE FRIEND!" like Scarface. Hey maybe a special variant could be called My Little Friend.

I'm sorry if there isn't alot here, I am too hot over here. Summer.

POSSIBLE COMPANIONS

Neutral Companions i.e will join you regardless of your Karma

Jess- The young medic who saved you from death and brought you to Central. I feel that a medic in the wasteland would be more helpful in your party and not wandering the wastes where you run across them and later kill them for their medical supplies. She could be skilled in First Aid, Science, and Small Guns.

Your Dog- Basically, a nameable Dogmeat. Honestly, I hate the name Dogmeat. Makes me feel like my character only liked the dog in case he ever ran out of food.

GOOD COMPANIONS

Jackson- A smart alec of a Ghoul from Broadway, located in territory of the former Master Army. He is a performer of stage and screen(in his mind) and is well spoken for a ghoul. He joins you as he believes it to be a "City wide musical tour" showcasing his stageplay, a version of Pygmalion with guns, which he wishes to remain pure and untainted by modern art a.k.a Bad Karma. His tagged skills are Barter, Speech and Sneak(to escape his many "fans")

Phoenix- the "son" of Marcus from Fallout 2, He is more of his prodigy than his son. Never the less, he is skilled in Energy Weapons, Explosives and Big Guns skills. He joins you to live like Marus did and help right the wrongs of the New York Wasteland.

EVIL COMPANIONS

Fenrir- A slaver directly from The Pitt isself, He came to New York to join the ranks of Caesars Legion. He joins you due to "a betta payoff than Caesar offe'd." He prides himself on his Sneak, Lockpick and Unarmed skills

Snake P.- a prison inmate who escaped the West Coast to make it in New York. He joins you to take control of New York. He is skilled in Melee, Small Guns and Repair.

Wasteland Warrior 6:15 PM, June 4, 2010 My one problem with it is the setting in New York. There's too much New York stuff. If it was in a different city, than it would be better. TrailerParkApe 22:16, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Let me spell it out for all you people who seem so desperate for a fallout in NYC: Its never going to happen. It would be impossible. Just think about the skyscrapers for one thing. You remember there were piles of rubble everywhere from the collapsed buildings in F3? Well, those were only small buildings. Now imagine the amount of rubble that would come from a 50 story skyscraper coming down. Every street would be so clogged with rubble you wouldn't be able to get anywhere. Does that sound like any fun? Knight Captain Ski (radio) 03:30, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

To be fair, FO3 isn't full of rubble to be realistic. . . its to give you obstacles and limit movement. I highly doubt there was ANY thought given to whether or not the amount of rubble was accurate -- just what looked good and kept the player from getting across DC too easily. That said, New.York.has.been.done.to.death! Both movies and video games. Hell, I've never been to New York but I can give you directions from Queens to Time Square to Central Park, then all the way up toYonkers -- just from what I've gleaned in books, movies, and games. Lets go somewhere else. Wickedjacob 04:24, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. Knight Captain Ski (radio) 04:27, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Vegas has been done to death also. Does that mean you won't buy New Vegas? Just because you've seen New York before doesn't mean you can except what could happen in a post apocalyptic universe like Fallout. Wasteland Warrior. 10:56, September 12, 2010

No matter how much i would love NYC, i think bethesda has already set up a stage for Falout 4: Commonwealth where the fight between Railroad and Institute is raging on.

PS: how did the caesar legion got to east coast?

PPS: Great ideas. 91.149.79.129 15:45, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Caesar's Legion isn't on the East Coast. Knight Captain Ski (radio) 17:13, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

According to Mr. Brandice, The Enclave weren't either. Wasteland Warrior 10: 57 September 12 2010

You could do a play on the old "Warriors" Movie. Perhaps some guy happened to find the movie. He decides to recreate One of the gangs. As word spread, offshoots happened. Turnbuckle ACs, Baseball Furies, Etc. The Lone Kobold 19:59, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
