Cant you have some motor bikes and boats and cars and trucks and............
 
No...

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Mar-22-00 AT 01:09PM (GMT)[p]Because it's a wasteland. And It has been bombed. 160 (!) years ago !!!! They must have made damn good bikes if you could find one that still would run after that amount of time. Typical a lot of you people here aren't thinking but dreaming. You figure it would be cool if you had all sorts of bikes and stuff, but I'm still wondering how the hell an old car like the Highwayman still hasen't blown a tire or something in a terrain like the one in fallout 2. There should be more transport adapted to the Fallout environment. Maybe have a Brahmin pull a cart or something.

Then again, if f3 plays before f1 you could have bikes and stuff.
 
RE: No...

Yea buth you can find all the parts and ask somebody to put it together!
 
RE: No...

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Mar-23-00 AT 09:24PM (GMT)[p]And who, pray tell, would know HOW to put it together eh? The BOS or Vault database would be obvious choices, but.... Personally, assuming F3 isn't a prequel, I think that the technology available should be similar to that of "Escape From New York/L.A.". Therefore, NO cars, motorcycles, airplanes, vertibirds, whatever. Maybe to speed things up, traveling wise, you could domesticate a giant radscorpion or mole rat or something. Heh heh heh heh...that'd be funny....a domesticated radscorpion...

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
 
RE: No...

The Ghouls could help, they have been around since the war.
 
RE: No...

Separate from if it realistic or not, I don't think cars and machines and other stuff will make the game more fun. Think of f1; the only working piece of machinary (is that correct?, I'm dutch, so it isn't my fault) is at those gun-guys in the boneyard. And you had bash through a pack of deathclaws to get there. We've all seen cars now, and I don't think it didn't made the game that more fun. So let's just stay off the technology-idea.
 
well, yeah but...

Most of the ghouls in Fallout weren't too bright, only like 3 ghouls had any kind of intelligence left.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

(c'mon people, I've been asking this question for so long now. Someone please give me an answer)

Maybe if the question was in English someone would.
 
RE: well, yeah but...

That's the problem with today's schools. Nobody takes Latin seriously anymore. Should be a required class. I'm also guessing none of you are big comic book fans either. Otherwise, that phrase is pretty famous. Say...was there ever a Fallout comic book?

Well

Heh, and all the time I thought it was spanish :-/

> I'm also

Well, I for one am, but if your question is a comic quote I don't recognize it. I read several Marvel, Top Cow and Wildstorm titles. And I picked up the first trade paperback of preacher a while ago.

Well there are rumors about one existing, but I don't put much faith in that. It would be cool though. We once had a discussion on the general board about who should be the artist for a fallout comic. My vote went to Dwayne Turner, the pencilist of Spawn: The Undead. Hmmh... getting awfully off-topic here. If you reply to this do it on the general board, ok?
 
I'm not sure but

Quis= Who
custodiet= guard or guards?
ipsos= himself
custodes= guard?

I'm pretty rusty
 
RE: I'm not sure but

That's rather close. It's (kinda) from Alan Moore's(I think it was him) WATCHMEN. I believe he took it from something that was spray-painted on an air-watch tower or something. And/or from a Roman poet, whose name and what he did escapes me.


Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Who watches the watchmen?
 
I should have known

Watchmen is one of the best comics I ever read. But that was almost 7 years ago. No wonder I didn't recognize it.
