The BEST Fallout 3 Random Encounter Ever.

D

Dracon M'Alkir

Vault Senior Citizen
Encounter Name: NMA
Message: "You see some forum regulars from NMA carrying out their daily tasks."

Events: 6 random "guys" walk around and say stuff like "LMFAO!1 where are the fallout hax! Fallout FPS! Fallout BOS roules!" and then a deathclaw named Roshamo would come charging at them and rip them in half. Afterwards he would smile at the player, move off the screen and the player would be able to move again.

What do you guys think?

Regards,
Dark Legacy
 
sorry,

I like the idea of this thread, but I do not like your idea in particular. It is a little too self serving in terms of us as a community, and sort of a kiss-up to Rosh.


I would like to see a reference to FO1 or 2....

Like finding the ruins of Broken Hills, or a large tree that was what was left of Harold, or the decaying corpse/skeleton of Myron..... Something along those lines.
 
Well we needn't kiss Rosh's ass, but I think an encounter like "NMA Community killing morons" would work pretty well. Hell, they could even do custom critters for us. Rosh's deathclaw is a no-brainer, as is Per's Lizard, While an U.r-Quan Lord would be impressive, I don't think I've been around here long enough to warrant a slot in the encounter (then again, given how long it takes some games to develop, I may be a mod by the time we see Fallout 3 :) ). Wooz's "Red Enforcer" avatar would work pretty well. Throw in a couple giant rats and some people in various powered armor, and you've got an encounter! I'd say it's really self-aggrandizing, but the Unwashed had their FO2 encounter, so why not us? Sounds like fun.
 
And in one of the towns on the day May 7th of every year you can see someone pinning another guy up to a wall by this throat and they're arguing. And then at the end the guy pinning the other says,
"Shut the fuck up."
and throws him aside.
 
How bout This.

You stumble upon a crucifixion site.
A Nearby grave is being guarded by a starving dog.

The Dog is of course Dogmeat
 
^ I like that one. But how old can Dogmeat get? Dogs live like, what, ten, fourteen years? Not to be overly realistic or anything, it's just a little much.

How about a grave of the Vault Dweller/Chosen One?
 
Actually, I hope the sequel takes place somewhere other than California. So the Chosen One and Vault Dweller wouldn't have that much (if any) effect on the history of the environment. But as a random encounter, like finding Dogmeat in the Cafe of Broken Dreams in FO2, some kind of nod to them would be nice.

It was just a suggestion.
However (of topic) if any NPC should return it has to be Harold.
I don't know why, he was little more then a sidekick in either game, but it just wouldn't be fallout without him.

And since he is, according to the bible, a special case. He could probably live for a long time.
 
The security bot it perfect for you, Calculon. I can see this entire encounter fleshing out before I even know anything about the game! Why not have dogmeat in a random encounter? It's no less probable than his appearance in FO2, since it's more-or-less an easter egg anyway. Tandy was more or less realistic since people can live to be over 100 years old (Oldest confirmed and well documented is around 130, oldest reported reliably but unconfirmed was 150, methinks) so it's unlikely but possible, since she'd be around 90-100 at that time, since she was in her teens in Fallout. Anyway, these since random encounters are basically easter eggs anyway, there's no reason why anything, from an U.r-Quan lord to a big lizard to anything else can't show up, since it's just for laughs anyway.
 
How about a hairy deathclaw from Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel? It could join your party, but sucks really bad and dies immediately if it gets hit.
 
A beefed up dogmeat would be nice.Stuff like doing 20+ damage normally at max level sounds nice.

I could see a encounter where vic tries to sell you technological stuff like canteens :P.

Or skynet and his robot bodyguards.He wanted to take over the world didnt he....

A BOS encounter would be cool.Maybe a BOS outpost or patrol.

Maybe the tanker vagrants......now living in an abandoned train at a trainyard?
 
"You encounter: Fallout Evangelists hunting a Bethesda employee"

I can already imagine the taunts.

"Combat must be turn based!"
"The world is isometric!"
"The only good FOBOS fanboy is a dead FOBOS fanboy!"
"Herve has betrayed us!"
"Diablo is NOT a Role Playing Game!"

Ad in an encounter of the burning of "Feargie the fuckhead" and its all good :twisted:
 
I really like Ashmo's idea. :lol:

"Real-time sucks and is not strategic at all!"

I actually hope that overall there will be less easter eggs in #3 then there were in #2. I think that the easter eggs in number one were the coolest because they were so rare. There were just too many in the second one, like they were trying too hard.

Another encounter might be one where you find a porno tape with the title "The Chosen One". As in the one you made in New Reno.
