If New Vegas can have the plasma pistol and plasma defender, and the plasma rifle and plasma caster, I see no reason not to have both. The AER9 is a good default energy weapon, and the Wattz 2000 could be a low-level energy sniper rifle, the EW equililent to the hunting rifle

SIG-Sauer... What? "SIG-Sauer 14mm Pistol" is not a proper name like, say, "Colt 6520 10mm Pistol" or "Colt Rangemaster Hunting Rifle". It needs a cool, not-so-generic name.

Here is a sample of one of the factions vying to fill the power vacuum: The Gulch The Gulch is a community of uniquely freedom-focused and free-minded individuals that upholds individual and property rights over the welfare of its individual citizens. Property, including intellectual...

I would like to do away with 12.7mm entirely and completely forget it ever was in favor of 14mm. Get a new weapon for it, like a big game savanna rifle or something. It is European, right? I would still like more specifics there, The Vault has basically nothing. And what would the proper name of...

Okay, so it would be a blatant retcon. Any vocal objections? 5mm Gatling (I felt it needed a suffix but NATO seemed inappropriate, so why not a nod to a pioneer of rapid fire?) could be the Fallout world's version of 5.7x28mm. Do not think what that means for the P90c.

I guess I really want to know two things: what is its backstory and do any players actually like it?

As for the sniper rifle, it specifically said in the description it was rechambered from .308 the the "more common" .223, and I agree it's a stupid move. If you include .223 and .308, .223 should be the assault round and .308 the sniper round, not the other way around. Which brings us back to...

Okay, try this on for size F4llout plot synopsis In 2077 John Caleb-Bradberton, inventor of Nuka-Cola, got an official government message that the world was about to end. He took his and several other nearby families into an underground fallout shelter beneath his home designed to...

I have a new theory: .204 Ruger. If 7.62mm NATO was derived from .308 Winchester and 5.56mm NATO from .223 Remington, it seems a natural continuation of this trend. And if the USSA and USSR (or is it Russia?) are not at war then they cold share ammo, right?

Obviously, a 14mm round for an autoloading pistol is unprecedented, but any thoughts? Origins or properties? Stories to tell? Any fans of the SIG-Sauer 14mm Pistol among us? Any fans of the round itself? Should it be brought back, perhaps with some other weapons chambered for it? Anything?!?!

I want to talk about the 5mm ammo. The kind that goes in miniguns and the original assault rifle. What is it, why is it? Was it supposed to be 5.56mm NATO and Bethesda dropped the ball? But then why have both .223 FMJ and 7.62 NATO as well? Please someone help me!

You know, Fallout is built on retarded stereotypes. The Fallout world is the most generic post-appocoliptic world there is (or it was, until RAGE!!!1!). What makes it special is the explanation of how it became what it is. I think a major theme is (or really should be) having a world that lives...

Let's get this thread back on topic, with a look at each company's track record: Interplay: -Wasteland (I think) -Fallout -Fallout 2 -Fallout Tactics -Fallout: BOS (or POS, depending on how bitter you are) -Van Buren (never finished) -FO:OL (maybe) Bethesda: -Oblivion -Fallout 3...

So, it's a revolver with a 12-chamber cylinder? Mystery solved. Oh, no wait, it's not

You kept your finger on the last page. (I guess this is a book I'm writing and/or reading from) Seeing as how you would most likely just shoot friends/family in the face, you ask some goddamn questions. Your vault is now divided by generation, Young vs. Old (with a few notable...

Now that I think about it, the only thing I'm really taking from Van Buren is the mad scientist. That we have been without one as long as we have is a fallacy that must be corrected. And I love the Fort Lewis idea. Good to see you, Dutch Ghost

I looked at the world maps of Fallout and F2 (largely ignoring the others, except for parts of NV) and decided to keep moving north; Oregon or possibly even Washington. How does Portland or Seattle sound?

OK, then, it seems most replies are some variation on "Join the fray" so let's do that. You hit the boose, talk to the little girl giggling nearby (who tells you some acutely creepy shit), grab your trusty 10mil (the old Colt, not that bethesda pos) and... realize you have no idea what the hell...

Scenario 1: You wake up, bathe, groom, all that jazz, go to leave your home in your privately-owned bunker designed to simulate a pre-war neighborhood and find a bloody coup raging outside. What Do You Do?

I want to play a game. I give you a scenario, you tell me what you wold do, I pick my favorite and hilarity ensues. (Is this the right place for this? My intention is not to get banned)
