wanted: a decent guy to sleep with in the wasteland.

First time out of the vault
This came up while my GF was observing me playing FO2 RP 1.2 for first time in November of this year.

While waiting for FO3 to come out I started replaying FO1 & 2 back in November of this year. Imagine my glee and surprise when I discovered a fan based mod by some bear dude that had been largely accepted as part of Fallout canon. I started playing it with the fan based patches then again with the same fan based expansion (RP) and ended up loving the game even more, so much so that my playing Fallout 3 has been delayed and gathering dust on my bookshelf.

In any case for the heck of it, I played through my last game as a virgin of the waste throughout the entire game, (which was a nice addition btw). Not as hard to do when playing as a female character it turns out.

I was playing a female character who I named after my GF, who I had to confer with whether or not she would sleep with people like Metzger, "brahmin lover" David, Little Jesus and of course Myron... nuff said, right? (actually she did say T-Ray seemed like an ok guy, cept of course the fact that he dies literally on top of you, so X-nay on that. FO1's Killian @ Junktown was cute, but alas hooking up with him was not an option. She then asked me what kind of women do you get to sleep with as a male character and after hearing my answer, she said with an amused exasperated look on her face, "This is one of those made by boys only for boys type of game, isn't it?"

If any of the Mod crew is reading this, please make a random encounter of a decent guy for a female character to sleep with that won't die on you or cheat on you with brahmin Bess! Can be humorous "I can't believe its not butter" or any other cultural reference encounter type that's heavily favored in the world of Fallout. Or can be done as a means of poking fun at the stereotype of a male game designer attitude kind of thing... anything!)
 
Interesting idea, AthasPrime.
It's just a guess, but I think Davin's script was pretty much the same as Miria in the unmodded game. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

So someone who knew what they were doing could take the improved Miria script/protos and recopy/rename them to make an improved Davin mod. Once you had that, you would just need to spend some time rewriting all of Davin's stupid dialogue to make your new NPC.

Oh, and if you plan to use an armor appearance mod, those "Useful Miria" protos would need to be edited also, or Davin would probably turn into a female when you give him armor. :o
 
There's no concept of casual sex for a female character in Fallout 2, aside from the Bishop sexcapades, I guess. You're either banging dudes to trade for stuff or straight out whoring yourself out. Davin/Miria don't count, since they're baggage in disguise. And yeah, most of the males you can bang are pretty goddamn disgusting.

Funny you should mention that. The first ever time I played FO2, around New Reno, there is an encounter with a 'Random Traveller' who is always female. For some reason I only encounter her at night. I always thought she would be a sleepable NPC. Two strangers meet in the night, in the middle of the desert, tired, wanting to rest and 'relax'. She says she does 'odd jobs here and there' and is 'heading nowhere in particular'. Would a 'Fancy a shag?' line of dialogue really have been that difficult? lol

Well there is Joel, you don't get jack for that, but he is a drug dealer and just an idiot in general.

Also, there is a rave party around Den at midnight which you can sleep with the partyers for no reward at all.
 
You got to remember that this is the wastes, though. This isn't Disneyland.

Rubbers are unreliable (a few hundred years can do a lot to them) and sparse, other contraceptives are probably unheard of and a girl has way too many problems already to rear a child on her own.

So it's obvious why a guy might be a bit of a gigolo, whereas a gal would probably be a bit more careful. Especially a lone wanderer: in and out, never to be heard of again.

I'd agree that the female opportunities for sex were probably more of an afterthought. I doubt IPLY/BIS ever spent any effort on trying to create a character that your character could fall in love with. That's more of a Bioware trademark than something BIS is reknowned for.

I've always imagined when playing as a female character, right after having sex with a male npc and coming out of the 'black out' a red box popping up at the left side of the screen saying 'Pregnant', much in the same way 'Addicted' and 'Poisoned' appear. The consequences would be rather interesting lol. I also talked about the possibility of STD's in another thread.
 
Pregnancy could slow a girl a bit down a bit now, Couldn't it? God, That'd be a bit much now I'd think. Jesus!

I'd need to feed my baby to a Deathclaw, and I'd hate to do so, so someone would incure my wrath!

No Deathmatch Fallout so I cannot make you bleed and suffer humilition!
 
The Tribal character you play shud know some herbs which works better than prewar rubber, and even two thousands years ago the Roman women were famous for being sexual active and only possessing one or two kids; to the point the August was forced to enact the laws encouraging citizens to have more kids. plain vinegar made the trick and condoms can be made from gecko or brahmin :wink:
pregnancy will be to hard to implement as it wud require some slaver like reaction perk and new models for pregnecy and newborn child and STDs are in game when you sleep with trappers for pelts you get nasty poisoned. :o

I'm sure gecko and brahmin condoms would be real comfy for both parties.
 
Yup, but that's the wasteland ; the place for hard dudes and rough chicks. :twisted:
Part of reason we all love fallout (well except third part and bos :wink: ) is because it's has no place for bioware type romance.
Although I personaly like bioware/obsidian works.
 
In honor of Valentine's Day, I will brainstorm some suggestions. Since I'm a heterosexual dude, you'll probably want to confer with a female on these to make sure I'm not out of my mind.

1) One of the Wright sons in New Reno. Those guys don't seem too bad.

2) The Police Chief in Vault City. Sure, he's a testosterone dripping a-hole, but...he's a testosterone dripping a-hole. I know lots of guys like that who get laid all the time.

3) Councilman McClure, Vault City.

4) The librarian guy, Vault City.

5) Dangerous Dan McGrew, Redding.

6) The stand-up comedian in New Reno.

7) The Sheriff in Redding.

8) The Mayor in Redding.

8) The Deputy in Broken Hills (the guy who stands near the town entrance and tells you about Marcus).

Those all seem like possiblities.
