Hey, one of those ideas was mine!

Lamest Fallout 3 Ideas Ever:
- Thread starter Roshambo
- Start date
That depends on how you want to define canon. San Francisco certainly doesn't fit, but it was in the game.Grey_Wolf said:
Hmm... Well it does make sense. because it does add a logical progression to the FO2 time line.
Otherwise you would never know about the oil rig, and what not, and really have no reason to charge head forward into Navarro. Get the FOB, etc... etc...
I think it's canon, but i could be wrong.
Btw, i forgot. Thank you for telling me what this FOOL thing was.

I'm not talking about there being Chinese people there or the city existing, I'm talking about there being rivalling gangs of kung-fu artists, a major supercomputer and Scientologists with a space shuttle.Grey_Wolf said:
Having one single katana around isn't going to break much, but having lots of katanas will.
Hmmm... I get what you are talking about. Most of that was basic pop-culture stuff.
Kung-foo movies, cults, and computers.
But the gangs i was talking about were mainly around New Reno. If you travel around, you would run into the Yakuza guys with the Armor piercing Katanas, that i assumed, were the "bad" Chinese, who perhaps left San Fran when the sub crashed.

Yakuza aren't Chinese, dude.
Japanese, aye, fine, but Chinese do have the Triad,
Yakuza are usually just little 'gangs' for the most part, and although there are some big ones, some have affiliations with the Chinese, and aye... Lets not go into all the gangs and how they deal with each other. And maybe they just put Yakuza because not many people know of the Chinese underground gangs.
Cause, now there is the whole odd situation of how we got invaded by Japanese Yakuza.
Long story short, Katanas are not that bad of a deal.
Just any swords (especially the crap-tacular "fanciful" swords) of a ridiculous nature, would be lame.

Well, nothing against that, if it was a UNIQUE Item, to be found once only, in a special quest or for gag purpose. See Fallout 1 -> Alien blaster.Wooz said:
To establish a large Samurai population in a post-apoc environment is a sucky idea indeed*, but one freak sitting in the middle of a prewar japanese weapon collection, thinking he's a samurai... why not, kinda comic relief in the whole postnuclear misery
(* unless it's a post-apoc Japan, which would be a kind of neat setting for a whole new game ^^)
just to piss off fanboys and animekiddies i'd put in a katana ("that looks great and sharp") but breaks the first time you use it 
hihi, cheap knockoffs will cost you your life!

Someone add flaming sword to that poll...quick.

Hmm.... I'd say it's a tie (and a close one at that) between real-time Morrowind/Oblivion-style travel and real-time-with-pause combat. Both are incredibly bad ideas that for some reason have become industry standards (or is that the reason why they became the industry standards?!?) They worked poorly, at best, in their respective games (Bethsoft's later works for the former, and Baldurs Gate/Icewind Dale for the latter) and now...well, I'm becoming less surprised with every new foolish design decision Bethsoft's making with FO 3. And these two are BEASTS.

This poll is lame considering anything not classical fallout would be treated as a bad idea (especially by fans). A better poll would be "What is Bethesdas Worst Idea So Far." Heres a starter list:
-Non-turn based
-perspective
-Story
-Behemoth Concept
-Environment Atmosphere
-Fatman
Since we do not know that much about F3 as of yet the list would not be that long.
Also, night vision goggles are not horrible considering energy weapons are not 50's technology.

worst idea? let me think... from fallout 10th anniversary contest (bethesda contest):
Crazy Eye, Deal with the Devil, Falling from Heaven, Schizophrenia, Nuclear Man (or Woman).
And they WON the contest. wtf? I'm mean these really were like the worst F3 ideas I have ever heard (if we don't count Fatmanan and exploding nuclear cars, they are the worst of them all)
"Before the war, everything ran on nuclear energy, including the cars... ...few well-placed shots can set off an explosion of fire and radiation"
uh umm... didn't cars use Fusion energy before the war according to F2? And if cars really were running on nuclear energy, would they be build so that if you shoot it couple of times it would explode? I don't think so. And if cars would use nuclear energy, wouldn't they be using uranium-235, that isn't really dangerous for it doesn't radiate so much. Of course after it's been used, it's very dangerous. But what is the half-life of nuclear waste? would it still be dangerous after (how many hunders of years? don't remember...) XXX years?

[sarcasm] c'mon, Grim Reaper's Sprint isn't a bad idea! You can clean Navarro using a M72 Gauss Rifle/Vindicator Minigun in 1 round!!! And it's magic! Ooohhh!!!!! The game would be a lot cooler!!![/sarcasm]
Shitty weapon idea: Silenced+long-barrel+NVG 20x scoped+bipod+GL+depleted uranium 12g sheel Pancor Jackhammer!!!! Ah and with explosive lead ball tips!!! With this you could blow a PA soldier at 3km away with A SHOTGUN yahoo!!!!
