    Rules for Fallout

    What sort of rules would you have in place if you had creative control over Fallout? Would there be strictures, or rules of thumb? What would it take in your mind to set things straight? Please state each rule as a header to description or discussion thereof, or have them in a list. These...

    Fallout - An Entire Series Retrospective and Analysis

    Came across this. Just thought I'd share it.

    Laddie Alien Reference?

    "With the help of Laddie (and IN = 10), you can have a very interesting conversation about pre-War times and aliens." http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Jonny_is_missing._Find_him_and_bring_him_home_to_Balthas Couldn't find it in game. I checked Johnny, Laddie, and Bathias dialogue files too but...

    Fo2: Doctor Skill Need Bypassed by Lenny?

    For crippled limbs, quests needs, and whatever use that isn't just healing hp: what can Lenny do, to de-necessitate investing in the Doctor skill? Oops, I think I selected the wrong category. This should be in gameplay help right?

    Kill Daren Hightower or not?

    Obviously Decker still has to die, but is the Hub better off without Daren Hightower? Personally I'm considering it, but I'd report Decker after picking up his second quest. Mostly just curious what sort of arguments people will put forth.

    Does the Barter Skill Work in Fallout 1 and 2

    Fallout 1 Has anyone personally tested whether this ever makes a difference at high levels or not? Please only answer if you have gotten it to 100% or something like that and seen the difference. I've already read as many posts on various forums as I can but there doesn't seem to be any...

    Fallout 1 mod Idea: turn 'Tell me abouts' into regular dialogue options!

    'Tell me abouts' only require a keyword. Each could be rephrased into a question that shows up in normal dialogue. Obviously only those that result from keywords the player character would know about should show up. For instance, going to Junktown or hearing about it. Why, you may ask: because...

    Just me? Tale of Two Wastelands Forum = Nightmare

    Disorganized doesn't even cover it. Dead link central is just about right. 'Just google it'. Okay... When you find a link that actually loads it's almost always a maze of outdated and/or nested posts. And that was before half of it was hidden! How does this even happen? I'm seriously asking...

    Nightkin Thoughts

    Seems to me that they're often childlike. I'm not just talking about the dum-dums here, it's even the nightkin who were the Masters elite. So did they regress in your opinion? Tabitha and presumably her nightkin-kin view some of their own kind, specifically the aforementioned dum-dums. So was...

    Minimalist DLC Rewrite Ideas

    Broken Steel: it starts off similarly, but in an area that has more natural barriers and plenty of overhead cover (to negate the advantage of Vertibirds). Liberty Prime is sent ahead onto open ground. Where they are destroyed without warning by a single warhead (rather than multiple nukes with a...

    General Perk Discussion Thread

    I saw an old thread where people complained that there wasn't a general thread for perk related questions. Maybe that person was just being annoying, but I couldn't find one. Maybe I suck at searching. Either way, I thought I'd just go ahead and create one. Maybe sticky this and yell at people...

    Beyond the Beef Broke

    Feel free to share any of your own experiences that you thought were funny. I decided to try and solve Beyond the Beef differently than usual. I had set my reps to zero for Lonesome Road, because I wanted the "Yes-Man"/no-faction dialogue as per my Independent playthrough. So I couldn't join...

    Is Caesar's Legion more like Sparta than the 10th Legion?

    Legio X Equestris, aka the 10th Legion is apparently what Edward Sallow based his cult on, but aren't there more parallels to Sparta? For a start Sparta is a nation, not just an army. It basically has Sparta's breeding program, as well as a somewhat similar social structure (military upperclass...

    As a time traveler what would you change about Fallout?

    By which I mean Fallout and Fallout 2. Fixing bugs is a boring answer; restoring cut content less so. Fallout: I want more of the Master. For instance he could psychically influence the player once they enter the LA vault, to an increasingly strong degree. Something akin to Reaper...

    How the hell does armor hp work?!

    T-51b has 100 hp Remnants has 80 How much damage can they actually take before breaking? I have no idea how much they lose per hit. Just that they only lose hp if the damage exceeds their DR, or maybe it was DT. Anyone have a clue?

    Closest gameplay equivalents (out of franchise)

    Just curious what games people would use a frame of reference for what they want a future fallout title to be like. Obviously we've debated which title the series should take after most strongly, or which of them hold the best ingredients for the next Fallout stew, but what about games outside...

    Christine Royce's Magic Brain and Houdini Act

    She is lobotomized and loses only the ability to hack computers. Making her the second most successful brain extraction known. Maybe--other successes were not noticed, or were forgotten. Maybe her brain was taken by Mobius too, and now it sits in a vat of mentats laced gel, being all snarky...

    Cap to real currency comparisons

    I always thought it was odd that the pc usually becomes wealthy but no one ever notices. You never live the high life. We don't even know what constitutes rich and poor objectively. We know we have one semi-quantifiable extreme, with House having millions of caps, given that he spent 800+...

    House doesn't want Caesar dead?

    "You want me to kill Caesar?" "Absolutely not! Caesar is of great use to me." Then he later states that killing Caesar barely affects anything. So why does he say no and not, 'it doesn't matter', 'either way', something like that?

    The Courier's brain is the craziest part of OWB

    Somehow Old World Blues just gets more confusing the closer you look at it. One might assume that it's what happens when a story centers around senile mad scientists, whose memories and senses were altered to confuse them. However, the weirdest part of OWB has nothing to do with such handwaves...
