Going great, I'm actually going out and about the location in a day or two to collect data at the locations history museum. I want the setting to FEEL like even though it was nuked to shit, there are characteristics, or a personality that still resonates in the wasteland.
One of the themes of...
One thing that is enjoyable in all Fallout Games is: MUSIC!
I've put toghether a list of songs that may give you a hint as to where it takes place.
And the main game song,
Alright, one thing about F4 that I liked was the power armor mods. For example the VATS matrix, or the food scrubber. They felt like natural custom components to a power armor. I'd actually to see a in built weapon in an armor just to see how that would work.
What mods would you folks like to see?
I can understand adding a new model of power armor or so, but it has to be rare in the sense of 1 of an kind like feel. The T-60 just felt wide spread. The T-45 thought felt natural because it had probably been in production longer than any other unit.
One of the aspects i want to bring back to Fallout is the classic Fallout perk gain that Fallout 1,2,3 and NV had. I feel that this is a more balanced system, and it gives players time to reflect on what they want there character to be. As well as think about what perks would be best to acquire...
I like what you are saying, I'll take a look at the metro pipe gunss and see if I can think up of better idea. They would probably be better by using 9mm then since it's a smaller, and weaker caliber.
I agree on the upper tribals using the weapons, but I think I know what was trying to be accomplished. I love the look of F4, some different things could have been better, but I did enjoy it. The pipe rifles wood part was just trying to be the forearm, and sadly ended up looking like the gun...
Okay, so how about making them more tribal and only raider grade weapons, while also keeping them out of more advanced areas. Maybe more so in outskirts of the wasteland areas than urban. In urban areas, raiders have better guns as well as slightly more advanced armor.
From what I've gathered, everyone who likes the original and NV like the ,ore open area dessert like environment. What I propose is something similar to the layout of F4, but with different ratios.
° No more large areas of water like the coast in F4.
° 3/4 open area with a 1/4 city...
Alright then, the next matter is weapons. I'm just gonna say this now, PIPE WEAPONS ARE AWSEOME!! They felt so real because they are a logical weapon for a post apocalyptic game. They need to be expanded though.
For Example: Pipe Shot Gun
Or Arm Rocket Launcher
These would fit really well...
Never be discouraged man, this is why I set up the forum. Your not berating me at all. Your giving me great constructive criticism. This is just a rough draft after all and getting a responses back from people is great. Thank you for your comments!
