One simple idea, shoot me down if its been posted already

[Guest]

When you complete FO2 there is a little run through of what happened to each place according to your actions.

My idea is that : the outcome of FO2 then dictates some or all of the situation in the FO3 world. Ie if your hated in NCR for killing half of them, when you return there, or who ever goes back the NCR are just getting back on their feet after your masacre, and they hold you in distain, or the person who preceeded you.

Just an idea may not be a good one but it just came to me...

Do you mean by this that fallout3 would take a fallout2 endsavegame and on it's analasys start a new one which depends on what you've done in fallout2?

Yeh basically, I don't mean that you would have to use the same character though, just that the locations would be in different states as to what your actions were there last time. Ie if there was a trader who you put out of business (the 2paq way) then that trader wouldn't appear in the FO3, but there may be another trader who is trying to make a go of it in his new location.
Now that takes me on to a different point: Traders, trading/bartering could be improved, when you go to tubbys and first get hold of a pistol he has very little in his stock, this follows through the whole game. So if I go there with loads of stuff and sell it to him cheap his stock should then improve somewhat because of the money he can make with the stuff you sold him. I understand this would make for a big saved game file but I'm sure that could be worked on.

I disagree about the F2->F3 idea it might be nice to make a few difrent beginings for F3 but a copmlete info transfer would be just too problematic.

The trading idea is prity nice thou.

I dunno how to describe it properly, but I don't want full data transfer but just, the Social and Economic matters and population of each different locations.

Thanks for appreciating the trading idea but is only what happens in real life!!!

I am gonna put this down, but I think my biggest wish in the game would be a silenced gun... Hmmmmmmmm nice!!!

You are right and you are wrong, it would be a nice idea but a very unpractical one, too much info transfered basicly means a difrent fallout3 game for each variance, too little and some would consider it unfair.

OK I'll agree that the amount of data would be vast, but it would be a real good little feature to have in there to make the fallout world just that little more realistic (not real cos we all have real lives to live).
