Forum:What Places should have been in Fallout 3?

I was hoping Rivet City would have lots of people (especially traders), a busseling marketplace, and look really cool. All I got were a couple of crappy stores some bland and dull characters and nothing but trouble.

A toilet in your Megaton house. And a Dog Bed. And a HUGE mansion with unlimited Feral Ghouls which respawn. And a hiddenz metro stayshin underneath............ Sparky (Radio) 09:46, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

All of the big, well known cities (Megaton, Rivet City, Tenpenny Tower, Canterbury Commons, and Paradise Falls) should have been massive with lots of people. There should also be places that completely need you to have one type of karma, not just paradise falls. There should have been like market squares and military bases and lots more enemies and stuff. But, Fallout 3 still did a pretty bitchin job, though. Sombar1

A huge vault full of people 'cause it just opened and you can choose to help 'em, doom them (send em to a safe, quiet Deathclaw Lair), or kill them and take the vault as your new base letting in only some people.Yum Brahmin 16:12, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

I second that last one. Sombar1

Wow, didn't think people would like it that much. Yum Brahmin 20:48, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

A house near vault 101 with the Great Great Grandson of the pint-sized slasher, who you can help get INSIDE the vault. Yum Brahmin 02:26, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

In that house there should be recordings from the original Pint-Sized Slasher. Also, there should be a prison in Point Lookout (because the Pint-Sized Slasher was there and we know this due to his mask being there) with like, a child's skeleton in the electric chair and an audio tape of the whole thing.

Audiotape? Or activatable item that shows the whole thing. Yum Brahmin 02:59, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

I think Kenny from PL is the Pint-Sized Slasher. Anyway, I want mroe vaults. There are what- 5 of them, and only one is really 'populated', and you can only access it in the tutorial and Trouble on the Homefront. I want a few that are hugely populated, and a few with just around 10 people, plus a personal vault.

@Liam Spencer The Pint-Sized Slasher was a pre-war menace so Kenny is not very likely unless he's older than he looks.

@Sombar 1 I looked it up, the Pint-Sized Slasher wasn't caught so that shoots down the fried kid idea.

On a lighter note, I also think that there should be vaults, including one just opening so you could f@!# with it and it's inhabitants. It's higher on the page.

I also think that more ownable houses would be a good idea. 75.208.87.42 14:20, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

There should be several independent communities with entire means to produce for themselves, with like brahmins and mole rat farms, that are at war, and you can attempt to end the disagreements. There should be an entire town devoted to trade where you can set up a stand and people will come and try to buy from you. Sombar1

In my opinion, there really isn't much I could say would warrant being added to FO3, but I think turning in the modified FEV to the Brotherhood ought to have gone somewhere just after Death From Above starts.

I must say, though, that another military base would have been nice - maybe involving a quest with the crashed jet you find in Point Lookout?Titan AEX4 15:21, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

A place like our nations capitol should have more people. Once the threat of serious radation was gone, and the people started coming out of thier shelters, I would think that they would attempt to travel to a place where the government would be coming back. "Hmm maybe we should head to DC. Maybe the government is coming back". A couple more Settlements would be nice. one to the NW and NE of the map. That would give us 2 more traders. Theres a lot of times in the game especially at lower levels where you have to sleep for a day or 2 just to let the merchent get more ammo.

The Vietnam War Memorial. Would be nice just to see it. The Treasury, Have a bunch of rooms that you cant get to that have mounds of gold. Totally usless to you but you always walk through it wishing you could get it.

An ammo press. In megeton have 1 person who you can bring junk too to make ammo for you. Like a blacksmith of old.

How about a white house that isn't a radioactive crater? I was quite heavily disappointed to find that, where the Oval Office should have been was merely a radioactive support column with a fat man and two mininukes sitting on a random bit of floor jutting out. Damn you Bethesda!

I understand why the craterfied it though. I'd imagine it'd be target numero uno for the Chinese. But still...can't we have that one missile fail to reach it's target or something? Because damn the White House would have made an epic player home for a good character I think. And perhaps they could have put in a few notes/terminal entries detailing what happened in the white house during the war as well. What was the president thinking when they launched? Did he try to talk them into an abort? Did he launch first? Did they? What the hell happened? TestECull 02:21, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
