I have found myself several times not knowing where exactly to post thoughts and pics of Fallout related things. Often they don't warrant a new thread, but I have enough of these ideas pop into my head, so I figured the hell with it. Post your favorite memes, rants, videos, fan theories, stuff like that. I posted this one before I finished it over in The Order. I am working on more.
Namely one that compares Tactics to PoS since they are confused a lot in some of the online communities. Thinking back on PoS when I played it on Xbox, it wasn't as egregiously wrong as it is now, because I didn't even own a computer at that point in my life. Of course I thought I was still getting a good Fallout 3 at the time. I essentially wanted MORE FALLOUT.
PoS themed content below...
So I want to explain Rhombus having a cape in PoS. That is because Rhombus is part of the mission(missions?) that were sent out around the time of Fallout Tactics. You can see this by their affinity for recruiting tribals and ghouls. Of course it is non canon because as recent posters have pointed out - IT'S BAWLS. All of the spinoffs appeared to use this idea. It doesn't matter though because this is Harold...
Fucking guy cannot catch a break.
Let us briefly look at the slightly more original plot of the planned sequel to PoS.
FAT BOY. You heard it here first my friends. Bethesda is not to blame. It was Interplay that did us in. Bethesda just performed some necrophilia of some sort. That being said the story in PoS 2 sounded..promising? More original than Enclave Vs. BoS I guess.
Fallout Extreme would have featured the BoS taking over even more territory and founding a new base in Alaska...http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Alaskan_Pipeline
The more I look at PoS, PoS 2, Tactics 2, and Fallout Extreme, the more I understand about Fallout, how it evolved, and shelved concepts that were later reused.
I suppose my thinking is Fallout could expand to 3 realms where it has not gone before.
1) Fallout as X-com/Jagged Alliance 2.
2) Fallout as Warhammer 40 K RTS.
3) Fallout as Civilization 4X.
I have talked about this before, but it is worth spitballing here briefly. I have potential games picked out already as you can see the templates are clearly there. We could get new spinoff with these concepts, or mods, but Bethesda already said they are unlikely to do any spinoffs using outside studios. This leaves me with tons of ideas for Fallout stuff that will likely not be used.
You could do a prequel with the 4X , showing the war between the US and China. The RTS could really be anywhere in continuity. A sequel to Tactics with the X-com base implementation is what I really want though. Wasteland 2 could have been something like that but it was not meant to be.
So now we are left with more FPS shenanigans and a shitty mobile game with 0 depth. We do have plenty of mods, but they are mostly for some ancient ass game engine from 1998. WE NEED THE ENGINE FROM TACTICS AND THE RPG FROM OLD FALLOUT.
Another random spitball idea I have been pondering. Take FOnline or Tactics. Add all the locations from all the games onto a huge world map. Story would use vehicles of some sort to travel instead of walking to warrant such a large map.
These locations would need to be fairly barebones at first if you wanted to make isometric versions of say...Megaton and New Vegas. There would be few quests, and the timeline would probably be as such where different NPC's would be seen. So no bitch ass Moira. I hate her guts.
If the gameplay was more TACTICAL the focus could be more on level design and balance instead of 50 different endings and C & C. So your modern Fallout fan likes loot, atmosphere, and story. It boils down to that. Atmosphere boils down to how fun it is to explore. So tons of different units, armor, guns, and locations. Games where combat is focus don't need tons of reactive dialog, but a little helps. This would be a twenty year project at the minimum and everyone at NMA would be forced to work on it. That is how I picture it anyway.
Get to work damnit. You have a world to make. Quit your bitching. Also, for fun add locations to that map I just posted. That includes all your favorite shitty Fallout 3 and New Vegas mods. So @lolpop109 Atlanta and @TorontRayne Motor City should be on there. I think it has the proposed PoS 2 location on there as well.
Or just post some memes. Fallout is the first true MEME game. Thanks to Bethesda. The irony tastes like dog shit.
I am a Tactics convert.
So shit like this pisses me off.
