Rule of the Retards The thread is scary. But it just confirms that I'm not the target market for F3 ... 38 year old white guys seeking intelligent turn-based RPG play are not the demographic. After joining this forum recently and trying to assimilate the opinions and information, I'm...

Everyone is still ignoring the point: a few measly gardens and a couple of Brahmin are insuffiicent to support a community of more than a dozen people. Towns are impossible without farming or ranching. Where is all the food coming from otherwise? It is plausible (even likely) that there is...

Um, no. Cattle graze with VERY occasional grain feeding, simply because of the mass quantums of vegetation consumed by them. There simply wouldn't be any grains left over for the humans -- they'd be farming just to feed the darned cows, and would be better off simply eating the grains...

Well Ro, the food for people and Brahmin is coming from somewhere ... and it ain't all canned dog food. Without farming or ranching or available game/forage, we would be extinct in short order. If you're saying the Great War eliminated most edible plant life, then it's game over, man. We...

Well people have to eat. You either have farming or ranching, or preferably both. I'm saying ranching of big herbivores is basically impossible without vehicles or horses and/or dogs. I for one have no problem with the notion of a post-apocalyptic cowboy. Yes, it's a struggle for survival...

Um, not the kind of "mounting" we were discussing. Ahem.

yes you need mounts One other thing: if you're going to have a brahmin-based economy, you better have vehicles or mounts, or ranching is much more difficult. A herd of cattle or buffalo has little difficulty escaping a man on foot. Since we are presuming that vehicles are rare, it makes...

Being Mounted One 'mount' issue to consider is their role in combat. Since you're not 'in' the mount (hopefully ... ick), they're not like a vehicle. Since you're on it, the mount and you would both be viable targets, and both get nailed by the rocket-launching super mutant. Mount armor...

The interface has always been simple to use. That should be kept. I was trying to identify the core elements of F1, F2, and FOT that worked and that would be necessary to create a sequel that kept the feel of the originals.

I write this with full understanding that I should have low expectations. That said, to remain a Fallout product, F3 should be: 1. A turn-based combat system with optional CTB play. 2. 2D. 'Nuff said. 3. Liberally sprinkled with humor, hardcore violence, and elements of Fallout canon. 4...
