    A fallout game where you pick your characters like Skyrim; a ghoul, a scorched, a super mutant, a synth, a human, a sentient robo brain; each with its own special attribute / skill

    Story starts in a vault prison, you wake up and your cell mate says "you're finally awake" (Skyrim Easter egg)

    The vault tec guard calls you over to read your name and you choose a character class / type from here

    Ideas;

    Ghoul - rad resistant but limbs easier to be crippled

    Super mutant - permanent +50 carry weight (or +5 strength) but permanent -5 intelligence

    Etc

    What are your thoughts?

    Edit - thanks for the awards! Love that there is a big conversation now going on with fallout fans who, whether they like the idea or not, are also sharing some awesome creative thoughts and ideas too!

    If you could alter F4's main story as you see fit.

    Posted: 16 Mar 2021 01:54 AM PDT

    What kind of changes you would make? Let's pretend, that you are a superior modder, or a dev., and wish to expand the main story, and it's ending with more choices, and functions. What kind of options would you put in? Here are mine:

    Institute surrender (all faction except institute): at the end when you reach the generator the Institute would offer surrender. Spare them, and their technology, and they will be under your service, and supervision. Different faction leaders require different charisma check to accept it. Preston wouldn't need any, because you are the boss. Desdemona would require a large one, because she absolutely hates the Institute, and has little care for their technology. Maxxon would require medium. While he also despise the Institute he does not deny that their technology is impressive, and useful.

    Railroad alternative takeover: this one would require some convincing, but you could give an alternative path for the Railroad to take over the Institute. With much less bloodshed. What you need is to sneak, and hack into the Synth Retention Bureau's office, and find the shutdown codes for the Institute's defenses. Then you need to convince everyone to leave the teleporter, and bring the Railroad agents in. Then you go to the Director's office, and send out the shutdown signal, and order everyone to let the Railroad take over. The RR goes in, and with the defenses down almost all members of the Institute surrenders without fight. You get informed, that a several scientists went back to the reactor room, and must pursue before they do something stupid. In the reactor room they threaten you with blowing up everything, if you, and the RR don't leave forever. You have 5 option there.

    1. Before the dialogue happens you could use stealth boy to sneak in, and sabotage the controls. Preventing the ability to give the command.
    2. You could use a very high charisma check to have them stand down.
    3. Speaking with Tinker Tom would reveal, that he has a stealth boy, and if you distract them, then he can sabotage the controls for you. Need low charisma check for the distraction dialogues.
    4. Speaking with Desdemona would offer to take reverse roles. She makes a distraction while you sneak for the controls. Reduce perception of enemies during the talking. She would also give you a stealth boy.
    5. You can fight without sabotage. You get exactly 1 second before the guy at the controls press the button, and game over. So you need to be very fast, use vats, or start killing that guy instead of the dialogue. Also during the dialogue you would have an option to shoot that person straight away. Be warned, that if not sabotaged, then multiple NPC would be scripted to run there, and press the button. YOU MUST NOT ALLOW THEM.

    Kellog's deal. During your encounter with Kellog you could make a deal. He brings you into the Institute, and you help him with Virgil. He becomes a temporary companion. Once Virgil down he honor his end of the deal, and gives you his device with the courser chip, and gives the command of his recall. You enter the Institute instead of him, and stuff gets revealed. You never meet Kellog again. Later you can learn that he left the Commonwealth. Probably for good.

    Fallout would be a completely different game if no one was labeled

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 07:58 AM PDT

    I'm watching Many A True Nerd's Fallout 4 YOLO. One thing that struck me is how much more stressful the run would be if you couldn't tell who was a raider, trader, or Gunner. Imagine seeing a figure far off in the distance and not knowing who they are. You're a while away from a settlement and you need to be supplied. You could approach them and risk combat, you could attack first and ask questions later, or you could keep moving on.

    This is why I love the Rust and Dust mods. It ramps up the paranoia and fear of FO3.

    I once killed a raider in the middle of the capital wasteland and their eyes kept blinking after being decapitated.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 06:45 PM PDT

    I don't know if many have seen that glitch, but it was very creepy picking up their head and seeing them still blink.

    Fallout 5: A sequel to Fallout 4

    Posted: 16 Mar 2021 12:41 AM PDT

    Since Fallout 1, there has never been a connected story or a sequel from one game to another. Just a different location and a couple of references to the previous fallout games. So this may be a pipe dream of mine.

    I'd imagine a Commonwealth set 60-70 years after the destruction of the Institute and the Invasion of Splinter Cell Group of the Brotherhood Of Steel (Like the Outcasts?)

    The Sole Survivor who sided with the Minutemen rebuilt the City Boston, where Diamond City is really the 'Jewel Of the Commonwealth' the hub for Science and Technology as the Remnants of the Institute ran here and became pioneers for research and technology, Goodneighbour which is still a sanctuary for the Ghouls and the underbelly of society. Surrounding Massachusetts is littered with Minutemen settlements and Raiders, Super Mutants and Ghouls have been relatively cleansed from the Commonwealth except in/near the Glowing Sea. The Railroad is still underground helping the remaining Synths on the run and working with them. The Brotherhood who maintains a small Garrison/Embassy at the Airport still gathers prewar tech in the Glowing Sea and is in amicable relations with the Minutemen. Everything is well until the Death of Elder Maxson.

    Civil War entails following his death and a group known as the BOS Outcasts had taken over, the Outcasts continue to uphold the Brotherhood's mission and scour the Wasteland, reclaiming pre-War sites in search of valuable technology. And that includes the Commonwealth. Hence because the Minutemen are largely in control of the majority of the Commonwealth, They deem the Minutemen in the way of their mission and proceed to invade the territory of the Minutemen, causing death and destruction for the sake of their mission. The Commonwealth is now in ruins, with Raiders, Super Mutants and Outcasts in charge of the New Wasteland, where homelessness, poverty, crime and starvation are now commonplace.

    Fallout 5 is set after the destruction of the Minutemen, instead of a Vault Dweller stuck out of time, players will be in control of a scarred young adult who grew in a peaceful settlement and saw the destruction of it (Perhaps in Sanctuary) and watched her/his parents die protecting it, then a war-torn Boston as an orphan and later a scavver. The Player can side with either the Outcasts, Raiders, help the Minutemen Resistance retake Boston or with the Railroad. Nick may still be found with the Railroad hiding in an undisclosed location. Strong may have found riding with another Super Mutant Gang, MacCready, Cait, Piper and other human followers in Fallout 4 are either dead or old. New followers such as Dogmeat or the railroad/Outcasts/Raiders may appear and old companions like Hancock or X6-88 may still be found. (Preston Garvey and the Sole Survivor died fighting in the final Stand at the Castle).

    This is all really just a shower thought or something I think of when I go to sleep and is really all just a pipedream. But one can dream :).

    (P.S. this is my first post in r/Fallout I apologise If i didn't use the Flair right or did something wrong. Just wanted to share my dream for the next Fallout :p)

    Why I love Fallout 3 (spoilers)

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 10:28 PM PDT

    Fallout 3 will always and forever be my favorite. It's a very close match with New Vegas but something about Fo3 makes me feel at home. In a post apocalyptic sort of way. The story is so well planned, and very well executed and that final battle with Liberty Prime and Sarah Lyons was one of my favorite moments in playing any Fallout game. I love how your character isn't a nobody and has a fleshed our backstory with a father and friends and enemies. I really love the interactions you can have with characters and the writers did a really great job with the dialogue.

    Just the old memories of wandering the Capital Wasteland listening to Three Dog with Butch and Dogmeat is an old feeling that will always make me happy to remember

    After Fallout 3; my personal headcanon.

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 11:56 PM PDT

    This is just my personal headcanon of what happened after the events of Fallout 3.

    1. The Lone Wanderer largely disappears from public eye, with rumors circulating that they headed West, headed to The Commonwealth, returned to Vault 101, retired to Megaton and some even say they're flying a UFO throughout space.
    2. Popularized by Three Dog, the Lone Wanderer becomes a folk hero in the Capital Wasteland, with many people creating and sharing stories about the figure, with most being popular with Wasteland Children with some drawing a big 101 on their backs to emulate their hero.
    3. Three Dog begins to air a Radio Play based on the Lone Wanderer similar to the Herbert Daring Dashwood Plays, with HDD himself playing the role of James, though he'd rather play the Lone Wanderer.
    4. With Harold's Heart accelerated, lush, green plants begin appearing in the Wasteland within a few short years.
    5. Thanks to Project Purity, Rivet City expands and becomes a powerful Settlement in the Wasteland.
    6. Overseer Amata opens the Vault and begins trading with outsiders. They eventually expand into the nearby Springvale and develop friendly trading relationships with Megaton and Big Town.
    7. Members of the Enclave who weren't at the destruction of Raven Rock and Adams Air Force Base left their old lives behind and resettled into new ones, missing the old days in Raven Rock and the Enclave who once terrorized the Wasteland became a distant memory.
    8. Paradise Falls is sacked by an unknown person and ironically, is eventually transformed into a safe haven for escaped Slaves to rest and resupply while on their way to the Lincoln Memorial.
    9. Big Town does expand a little bit and still accepts former Little Lamplighters to this day.

    Ulysses’ Tunneler claims

    Posted: 16 Mar 2021 04:12 AM PDT

    How the hell does he know that they'll invade the Mojave, or even survive? Nothing suggests that things like cazadores and night stalkers won't overpower them. They just end up being a completely avoidable nuisance with a flare gun and realistically would only go to caves and abandoned buildings that could be infested with other animals or robots etc.

    How long could you survive if the Vault 111 door didn't open?

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 09:08 AM PDT

    I have just once again experienced the well known glitch where as you try to exit Vault 111 the door just doesn't open, and it got me thinking how long could the Sole Survivor theoretically survive just in the vault? Water is okay because there's a sink that has seemingly unlimited supply, and you have a good amount of radroach meat for now... But how long until they start taking part in the frozen meals?

    Blade Runner (1982) easter eggs in Fallout 4 [major spoilers for both]

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 11:19 AM PDT

    Obviously Fallout 4 takes heavy inspiration from Blade Runner, with synths taking the place of replicants, and the main story of FO4 explores a lot of the same philosophical ideas. I recently watched Blade Runner for the first time, and aside from the main theme of the stories, I noticed a lot of smaller references and easter eggs that have previously gone over my head.

    • Covenant's SAFE test is a reference to FO3's GOAT, but it's also a reference to the Voight-Kompff test used in Blade Runner to distinguish humans from replicants.

    • Takahashi's noodle stand is a reference to the noodle bar Deckhard eats at in the beginning of Blade Runner. Takahashi uses the same greeting as the man in the movie.

    • The Courser uniform looks a lot like Roy Batty's jacket. Like a courser, Roy Batty is a military-model replicant with enhanced combat abilities.

    • Tyrell is the CEO of the corporation which makes replicants. Roy Batty cally Tyrell "Father" in their climactic confrontation, which is likely the inspiration for synths calling Shaun "Father" in the Institute.

    • In a theater in FO4's downtown Boston there are a pack of mannequins on stage with one synth hiding among them to ambush you, a reference to the replicant ambushing Deckard at the beginning of the final fight.

    • On the roof of Mass Fusion containment there's a kneeling synth next to a human body, reenacting the final conversation between Batty and Deckard.

    Are there any more I missed?

    A Wholesome Fallout 76 (Xbox) Story

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 05:09 PM PDT

    So exactly one year ago I was shuffling through the Appalachian wasteland. I was around Lvl 45. Couldn't carry any good legendaries. I'd about ground the game to the point where it wasn't fun any more. I was thinking about quitting. Imagine a sad lonely fallout player character shuffling in the rain waiting for events. And that was me.

    When an event popped. I fast traveled. Loaded up what was left of my gear. And was ready to just exist in the background and rack up XP. One thing was different about this event. A few of the players had area chat going and where communicating. One of them called me over for help and I snapped to. Jumping in to the heart of the action aside them.

    One of the players was Lvl 250 (give or take) so an absolute unit. It was this lady. She was blanketing the area in fire and felling enemies left and right. It was glorious. I didn't feel useless either. She gave me some ammo when I ran out. And encouraged me to get in there. I think it was a queen fight. So it was invigorating to finally have someone calling out legendary enemies when they spawned. And even let me score hits to get legendary gear!

    Later that day she have me loads of medical items, food, recipes, plans, ammo, and a ton of materials. After which we kinda just hung out. Next thing you know she asks. "How old do y'all think I am?" (It was me and some other dude I ain't seen since then.) He answered 20's I answered 30's. She got a really good chuckle out of the first answer. Then rolls off with. "I'm 60..." The other anon guy is flabbergasted. Me knowing about Shirley Curry kinda didn't question it.

    They guy loses his fucking mind. Not in a bad way. But to an almost weird extent. He just couldn't grasp that someone her age had the time or patience to sit and play 76 for that long. He disappeared. And I ended up playing with her more often. She even handed me my first Lvl 50 legendary! It was alike that kid opening his Red Ryder BB gun in that movie I can't remember right now but everyone knows.

    It's been a year. And a tribe has formed around this lady. In fact a lot of ladies older than me make up the bulk of our tribe. She's become the defacto matriarch. And is a mainstay in the game. Whenever she's on. I don't feel alone while playing. Ever since she's helped me put ammo down range, chems in my inventory, and resources in my scrap box for building. I've levelled all the way to 222. She just hit level 770 (Around there).

    She's a tough one in real life too. The pandemic reared its ugly head. And she came down with coronavirus. And ya know what happened? Like making a deathclaw eat a mini nuke. SHE BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF THE RONA! She's still kicking around being the sweetest Fallout grandma. Handing out ammo and chems. She'll even talk you up when you're feeling down.

    Fallout 76 is still not perfect. A couple things I still don't like about it and how bethesda chooses to run it. But what makes it perfect enough for me to log on and play for a while. Is a literal fallout family. That I can talk to and hang out with. That's an experience I can't get in the mojave, the capitol, or the commonwealth. Cass is the queen of cool. But she want help you feel better when life kicks the fuck out of you.

    Can someone explain to me why the fuck are Fallout lasers so inaccurate

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 05:52 PM PDT

    I loved fallout but something that's bothered me about the series since fallout 3 is the damn accuracy of laser weapons. They are literal beam weapons that just fire in whatever direction. I would love if they had pinpoint accuracy even if it meant reducing their damage or firerate

    FPS Boost on Series X

    Posted: 16 Mar 2021 05:29 AM PDT

    I just turned on FPS boost for Fallout 4 on Series X and wow, 60fps is amazing. Apparently games that will get a resolution drop will not have FPS boost activated automatically and Fallout 4 was not automatic.

    I think the game doesn't quite look as sharp but the 60fps is so smooth that when I disabled FPS boost to get higher resolution I couldnt stand the jerky movement of 30fps.

    So does anyone know how much the resolution has dropped?

    You seem to gain more than you lose by using FPS boost but I'm still curious of what the resolution is now.

    Ideas for Fallout spinoffs?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2021 04:55 AM PDT

    I know that Bethesda is busy with Fallout 5 (along with Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield), plus they're stilling updating Fallout 76, so the chance of another spinoff game coming anytime soon is slim. That doesn't stop us fans from discussing ideas of possible spinoffs, however.

    One idea that's being bouncing around in my head for the past few days is a pre-war action game set in China where you are a US soldier or secret agent set ahead of the main invasion force. Your mission: to disable China's first strike capabilities and nuclear arsenal. This could be a Metal Gear-esque stealth game, or it could be just a straight up action shooter. This could be play out where you fail to complete your mission and you have a front-row seat to TEOTWAKI as Chinese missiles are launched, or it could end up as an alternate universe thing where you complete your mission and the ending cutscene has US Soldiers marching down a Beijing street, with Liberty Prime leading the way. And flying above the Great Hall of the People is the Star Spangled Banner as an open declaration that democracy has once again won against imperialism.

    If you murder the Khans at Boulder City, are you permanently barred from getting a positive reputation with them?

    Posted: 15 Mar 2021 08:49 PM PDT

    I'm just stuck. The last thing I want to do in this playthrough before shelving the game is to be named leader of the Great Khans. But I can't seem to get my rep up, having killed the Khans at Boulder City ages ago. I've completed the "Don't make a beggar of me" quest, but that didn't turn me from shunned. I can put on Khan armor and raise it to Neutral, but I still can't trigger the drug-related quest. Am I boned?

    Should I play FO4 or FO76 if I mainly care about exploring the world and not the story?

    Posted: 16 Mar 2021 04:10 AM PDT

    Hi everyone! I'm new to the world of fallout, so excuse me if this is the wrong sub. (Where should I post instead?)

    Anyway, I've never played a Fallout game before and recently started FO4 via Gamepass. While enjoy the main gameplay loop (wander around, loot stuff, read terminals etc) I couldn't get into the story yet, but I like the world.

    While FO76 was apparently plagued with bugs at launch, I heard it got much better. I'd play it in the PvE mode without friends, can I still have fun just wandering around and exploring the wasteland?

    And what about the older titles? The older graphics are somewhat of putting to me, should I try anyway?
