Hey, I haven't been to this forum in a LONG time (year? maybe more?) and so I don't really know whats been played out in the fallout idea's categories but I've been playing this one out for about a week now and have scribbled out some thoughts on it. I wasn't planning on bothering you guys with it but I was hoping you guys could put in your own 2 cents on what you would like seeing within it or what is wrong with it. So read and flame, read and flame.
Anyways, this game would be a parallel to the first Fallout. However, rather than being told by a Vault Dweller or a similar character, it would be from the perspective of a man working with the government (who will be known as John Doe from here out). He resides in a goverment citadel located East of the area covered in the two Fallout games (allowing its potential existence as it just wasn't discovered yet in those). It would begin (potential introduction videos) with the lead character going on his daily routine: entering a room where a lively debate about something or another is going on with two guards at the door, speaking with his friend in security (from here out known as Archie) and interacting with his fellow workers. This day is interrupted though as he is called to the commander's office. Here, he is told that he has been doing a great job for the government and will be moving up to the position of patrol leader beginning the next day. Content with how things are going he retires to his room within the lower levels of the building.
The next day while on patrol, he's sitting in the back of a truck with two other soldiers in light armor with small handguns. They were also fresh rookies at this patrolling routine, and the only other person in the truck was the driver who despises John Doe for robbing him of the position he had been hoping to get. At the next check up point where his patrol squad inspects a Vault to confirm it is still closed and uncontaminated he leaves the truck, leaving his gun on the seat (which is highlighted by the camera if this is still intro). While climbing down a hill towards the Vault entrance, the door to the vault opens. Shocked and unsure of what to do, John and his comrades turn and run fast up and back towards the truck. John, his luck changing from the day before trips and falls on a rock, everything going black. The other two, not knowing what to do just pile in the truck and the driver drives off (getting revenge at John for stealing the job he sought).
Upon waking up, John is sore and hungry. He checks for his weapon but its missing. He gets up and looks around, seeing that the vault door is closed once again. Unsure where to go, he begins walking in a random direction not knowing where he's headed. His travels are slow and take many hours before he arrives at a village. To weak from hunger and the long journey, John falls to the ground, once more being overwhelmed by darkness.
And since I don't want this being TOO long I'll just give a quick abbreviated version of the rest. It takes you on Johns journeys as he hopes to find a way back to the government base. In one village he discovers that they have a radio which he uses to contact the government and gives them his position asking for help. A group of three soldiers comes while John is helping one of the villagers in the fields. John learns this when he hears the rumble of gunfire. He runs back to the village where he overhears the head soldier telling the other two to kill everyone and find the "leak" (John). The leak has been contaminated and he has made the villagers contaminated too. The game/story carries on with John seeking out a way to end the governments insane tyranny and power over the rest of the people.
Ideas I have in mind but didn't want to share in this to keep it down in length are:
1. Meeting a research branch in the wastelands. They live in an underground town with only one above ground entrance with several guards at it. These men are carrying out experiments for the government in order to make a human resistant to the radiation.
2. His friend Archie finds John and warns how the government has gone insane and is searching endlessly to stop his movements. He offers you his assistance and shares files he managed to steal from the base. These include files on eliminating the research base once they have succeeded in their testing.
3. Meeting a mutant-like creature. Having lived in the government facilities this will be alien to John and he will learn a lot of the background story from it. It turns out its a failed experiment of the research group. He makes reference to the Vault Dweller, having met him. This could be when he says to you that he doesnt have a water chip for your vault. He could then even show John the vault which John can enter and speak with the overseer asking for help in his battle against the government only to be rejected.
4. The Brotherhood of Steel could also play a part, having John beg them for help in putting down the governments citadel. I'm still undecided on whether they will help or not but it would make sense if they did as they wouldn't want such a rival in technology.
Well that's it. Sorry for making it so long and if it's trash, sorry. If parts dont make sense just ask and I can bring them into greater detail. If anyone has any other things they might find interesting in this type of environment can you tell me? Either post it here or hit me up at matfyffe@optonline.net.
Comments and criticism are welcome.
