Forum:Vaults in the Gulf Commonwealth

Uh, first forum post here, so kind of a newb, but whatever. To the point: I'm planning on writing a Fallout fanfiction taking place in the Gulf Commonwealth area. I live in Alabama myself, and thought the area would be neat post-apcalyptic (particularly Florida, which was going to be the location of Tactics 2, if I'm not mistaken?) Now, my main question for this setting is: whch Vaults occupy the area? I thought it would be reasonable to assume that Vaults numbered (approximately) 42-70 could occupy the Gulf Commonwealth area, using the theory that the numerization was done in different "block" areas, like it appears to be on the East and West Coasts. These are just theories,of course, and I would like other opinions on them before I actually get the fic off the ground.--Seraph Song 06:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There's a list of currently known Vaults on the Vault page which might serve as a good launching point, just in case you didn't already know about it. The only one I see that's even close to the Gulf is in Texas. Good luck with your fic. Mr. Sully (T·C) 06:40, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Since it is your own Fanfiction novel you could make your own vaults and locations, however if you want canon vaults, check the list like Mr.Sully Said. --LiamW 03:24, February 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I wouldnt call it the commonwealth if I were you....maybe the confederacy or something alluding to the civil war split. I am from Gulfport and I can say if vaults were to be made they would be in Jackson, Baton Rouge, Montgomery,, Biloxi, Tuscaloosa, Talahasse, and Orlando

As a general rule- Big Numbers East, Little numbers west. There seems to be some odd numbering decisions in FNV and FO3. Agent c 23:28, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Looked at the list of Vaults, but aside from some mentioned ones and the DC area Vaults, all are in or around the Core Region, so basically, all of them would have to be fresh ideas. There is little to nothing to go on about the fate of the South in general after the war. In fact, the only time I can remember any southern state being mentioned is when Tobar the Ferryman mentions the "Broken Banks" which everyone assumes is the coast of North Carolina. Tactics 2 was set in Florida, but other than an idea about mutated gators that walk on two legs, not a lot is really known about the actual game, as it was of course scrapped. Basically, the whole region is ripe for fan fiction. Since there is so little known about it post-war, it could really go in any direction. I actually had an idea for such a game back a little while ago set in Miami (just my first thought) that really consisted of Miami being this enormous raider battleground with several big groups fighting for dominance over the city, akin to The Pitt before The Brotherhood's Scourge. Not really sure about any sort of story line, but it's a start. Hope that will clear a couple of things up for ya. Bangarang! 03:26, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
