I want to write, I know the first few projects you work on will be unsalavagable garbage, Fallout 3 as written is literary garbage, but it has a basic plot I could base a disposable work off of.
See, unlike New Vegas where I actually like the story and would hew to it very closely, Fallout 3 is not that. I was gonna change4 some things: condense the timeline to 100 years instead of 200, make it look realistic (still radioactive as fuck but green and verdant). But I want to change virtually everything else, for instance the Brotherhood is there Lyons is very much a good guy, but there's an actually collapsing government in DC, the FUSA which is barely holding onto the 8th ward (that part of the city you can't get too south of Rivet City), instead of Rivet City. They don't like the Brotherood because the Brotherhood represents feudalism and the end of what passes for America and democratic self governance. And thus they are bound to latch onto the Enclave when they show up, at least at first, as the only hope they have between neo-fuedalism and being overrun by supermutants.
I also wanted to change the protagonist: it's not the child of Jaqmes going after him, it's Catherine, the wife. SHe survived, had twins and they stayed in the Vault until James left and now the Overseer being the kind of person he is, has ordered Catherine to find her husband and bring him back for execution or he will execute their 18 year old twins. So she has to find James and fast, even though she's enraged by him. They were happy until he left, and Catherine told him not to do anything rash, now everyone's in danger because James' irresponsible idealism.
That's my basic idea, I'm hoping I can find someone literary minded to help me flesh out the concept.
