Try thinking of the whole definition, retard, not just the one that suits a very warped version of your inability to think outside of your living room.
1 : devoid of inhabitants and visitors : DESERTED
2 : joyless, disconsolate, and sorrowful through or as if through separation from a loved one
3 a : showing the effects of abandonment and neglect : DILAPIDATED b : BARREN, LIFELESS <a desolate landscape> c : devoid of warmth, comfort, or hope : GLOOMY <desolate memories>
The ONLY one your brainshit has anything to do with is the first one, but it fails on the others because tropical islands are in no way desolate. People go there for vacations due to that very point, you insipid little inbred. There is nothing "joyless, disconsolate, and sorrowful", "showing the effects of abandonment and neglect" to any of that.
A merely deserted island has nothing to do with Fallout either, as it has nothing to do with a wasteland nor really with Fallout's current backstory.
If you hadn't noticed already, most "settled villages" in the Fallout universe were having troubles without a GECK. In fact, the only one that had any sense of stability, from being created by a GECK, would be Shady Sands, and their problem was with raiders. The only reason why some major locations had a more stable welfare was through working with others - and Arroyo was in an area where trade routes were rare.
Every other "settled village" tended to be in peril of having to find enough supplies to keep going.
Remember Modoc? Modoc was about to be abandoned because it had similair problems to Arroyo. If they had a GECK they would have made it even without the Sragg's help. Even huge cities can become abandoned because of drought, although I can't think of any examples.
Just trust us on this one.

Hmm not sure what happened but im back now,
Yes but remember these are post nuclear islands...
There is after they have been nuked, if the island had a military base on it could be nuked, this would also provide a much intresting location.
Yes but Shady Sands, Klamath and the Den, while not farming communities, were not much bigger, they lived.

I guess they'll just have to wait for a beached sea monster.

always looking for water.

Kahgan said:You couldn't really resort to cannibalism either, as the whole island would be more or less clened of people, if the palm tree's goes, the people goes too
I ment the people that are going to settle there... you know, the ones that got there in the tanker which after one trip to the island just falls apart or something... or gets critically damaged by a sea monster who then decides to throw himself on the beach and die...

What, having problems looking that up as well? I can give you another hint if you'd like.
Which, in the tropics, will not remain that way due to the natural vegetation of the tropics. It would be a tropical island.
Which would only explain ONE island, and the rest would hardly be in the post-apocalyptic wasteland setting. The rest of the islands wouldn't have been bothered with, as nobody would be stupid enough to fly a plane over a series of islands to nuke each one without any strategic value.
Yet we're supposed to believe the retarded idea that somehow the PC has a way around the islands that those alreayd living upon it don't have and never have had, given the unlikelihood of a group of people escaping being nuked but fail to have any boats stored for the aftermath of such an event.
Only Shady Sands was able to survive without any outside help, as the others were reliant on others and also had survival problems outside of raiders.
True but that only adds to the atmosphere..
Yes but as i have already explained if it set on one island it must be set exclusivly on all islands.
The locals could have been out at sea fishing or in the military base at the time, maybe even they had been taken priosner by the military for bio research, that opens all kinds of possibilities...
Actually Klamath survived a reverse disasetr tehy actually prospered due to there industry.
What's with all of this hypothetical bullshit? Even if it were plausible, it doesn't fit the Fallout universe. It doesn't add to the "atmosphere". Why don't you actually elaborate instead of going back to one of your other useless ideas (which Rosh has already shot down). Give us one reason for us to listen to you (besides the humour factor, of course.).
You didn't explain a damn thing, Einstein. Or rather, you did, but your "explanation" was debunked much like the remainder of your idiocy.Richoid said:
Why is this topic still open, anyway?
Richoid said:
Not for a post-apocalyptic wasteland, moron, which is the entire point of the setting..
You haven't explained a fucking thing, child. You first come along and say that it must be set all on islands due to global warming flooding continents. When that was found to be too fucking stupid for anyone to believe, you then came up with some back-assward "logic" that only islands could fit because there wasn't global warming, and then there's some ignorant drivel involving silt.
So, in all of your fantasy, it would be loads of tribals and one location that *might* fit into Fallout's setting.
Again, your idiocy has little, if anything, to do with Fallout's setting.
And out at sea fishing? Care to explain that one if they don't have boats as you earlier claimed? Are you done contradicting yourself?
Only if you also similarly think New Reno fits into the setting. Klamath didn't have much relevance to the Fallout setting, and it didn't fit in as a Fallout location because it was simply an intermediate town without much involvement with outside forces or internal troubles. Given that, their ability to survive, given others in the same setting, was much too easy. There was also hardly anything to the ending of Klamath, further suggesting that it was a forgettable location nobody really cared to give decent writing.
Err, a small note.
As far as I remember, Shady Sands, WAS a farming community, with estabilished Brahmin herds and crop growing routine, though not very advanced (as the Vault Dweller, you could instruct a farmer how to plant the fields more effectively over the years).
This thread is fun, as fun as oblivious Fallout n00bs getting beaten down by a talking deathclaw... err... Roshambo can be.

Anything and everything we should expect from a bunch of villagers who originally lived in a vault. They presumably developed Shady Sands with some of the Vault technology, be it GECK or otherwise. Given how well they were doing, given the loss of information and technical aptitude, I could believe they were Vault Dwellers who used a GECK to create Shady Sands many years ago, got used to a semi-idyllic livelihood, but were now having their tranquility disturbed by raiders. Nothing should be perfectly fine with any location in Fallout, and Shady Sands' downfall was again, the raiders. Every other community had their own problems, notably food and other supplies.
