Forum:Fallout 3 cut content

Alright, I'll bring this up myself. Apocalypse Gladiator Armor and all of the cut weapons we've dug out so far have pages all to themselves, whereas Shellshocked Combat Armor and Defender Armor do not. Granted, some things, like the "Wasteland" Winter T-51b don't need a separate page, but still. What should we do about the cut content? Nitty 00:41, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it should have it's own individual page. Maybe some of the stuff that may not need a separate page but need to be mentioned somewhere should be put up for discussion to see what to do. May take time but maybe it will yield good fruit.--Kingclyde 00:47, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've got plenty of time on my hands. :) I simply want to know if all of the various Leather Armor shoot-offs and stuff should have their own page. It would reduce clutter on the main, more important page, while giving an ample amount of space for the cut stuff, just in case. Nitty 00:53, September 9, 2009 (UTC)

The issue with most of the armors is that - unlike the weapons - they differ in name only from items which actually are in the game. When I went over the armor pages, I left the ones which were sufficiently different on own pages and merged the ones which differed only in name with the article of the actually available armor. The reasoning behind that was that the general rule I applied to all armor pages was "only own page if different stats" (if you recall, for example all Merc Outfits used to have their own articles before).

That said, I don't mind that much either way as long as some rule is established by which people can judge whether an armor should have its own page. -- Porter21 (talk) 22:14, September 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, sounds good.


 * If you can remember the forum about the "hermetically-sealed weapons container" from Anchorage, it raised an interesting point. There's a lot of cut weapons that are absolutely silly, like the 1000 DAM Chinese Assault Rifle from Anchorage (I think it's used for scripted headshots?). What do we do about those?

 * Well, there's a difference between cut weapons and weapons which are used by scripts and/or creature attacks - the latter are not really cut since they are in use, they just cannot be obtained by the player. As far as I'm concerned, that stuff doesn't need own articles (especially since they usually do not have real names). It should only be on an overview page (e.g. Fallout 3 non-player weapons) in my opinion. -- Porter21 (talk) 22:31, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
