What would be your take on a storyline for New Vegas

Enclave is probably out cause due to (Beth :roll: ) canon they went east and there is no place for them other than some small (Navarro like) base for refueling Verti Birds.

About BoS, well I hope that there`ll be mentioned their conflict with NCR and that it will be true BoS not F3 one.

And i have to defend FT brotherhood - which was very different but also very interesting faction. They weren`t knights in shining armor but rather totalitarian band of racists who wanted to rule wasteland around them with "join us or die" creed. FT is still third best Fallout game ever, and I think that unfortunately F:NV won`t change it
 
Well, since Avellone is writing some of it, look for:

* Unreliable narrator. Either the guy who finds you in the wastes, or the person who starts giving you your direction and your questing right after you get your bearings, will have a hidden agenda and will be lying to you. Might even be your enemy in the long run.

* Distaste for authoritarial structure. Caesar's Legion will be bad guys, but the NCR will likely have its own warts and problems. Any sufficiently large-scale, controlling organization will either be corrupt or embarrassingly ineffective.

* Pay attention to where the story begins, because that will be important to how and where it ends.

* Some of the dialog will be quirky. Some of it will be side-splittingly humorous.

* There will be some sort of large moral conflict that centers on you.

* Most, if not all, of the important NPCs/Party Members will somehow have backstories that are tied to or influenced by your character.

(Please note that I have not spoken with Chris about FNV. This is just my own speculation based on my familiarity with his writing style.)

That would be great unless Beth force them to simplify fable somehow to be more appreciated by their main fanbase.

I doubt that'll happen.

And Jesse that sounds like Chris' work alright :D He indeed does have a very distinctive style. Fortunatly he does quality stories, so I don't complain, at least there's depth in it.
 
I think this is it:

There was a secret Millitary Family vault, make only for the Children and parents that servived, and you, escaped, when a radroch innfestation got out of hands, once you escape, you find that where you thought you were living, DC, is totally diffrent then this, you find a sign, saying...."Los Vegas" you are excited, but you also find a Buzzing town, it's time to make your move...
 
My idea for a good FNV storyline would be:

You start as an assistant/bodyguard to the overseer, but a revolution is brewing. When the revolution happens they kill the overseer in cold blood and you have to cut a bloody swarthe through the vault to the emergency exit and lock it behind you.

When you get out this new world seems strange to you, you run to the nearest building to see if it is okay to live in. You find a dead body and get creeped out by it. You then see some strobes in the distance and start running to it.

You get there and well it's New Vegas! But before you can enjoy your stay in the scumiest place in the world, you get smacked across the back of the head and the world goes black.

You wake up in a small metallic room, you think it looks like your old vault, then a power armoured man walks up to you and smacks you with a bat. These are the BoS and they want your pip-boy. When the BoS aren't looking you escape and kill the interrogating BoS. Luckily the base is being attacked by the NCR! You get half way out and the NCR Troops are invading the base, they escort you out of the base and back to the Hoover Dam.

They notice your a vault dweller and ask why your out of your vault you explain why, and they say they will help you get revenge, as long as you help the NCR in the on-going war with the BoS. You go to New Vegas with the NCR and they reveal the underground world is secretly ran by a splinter group of BoS who have a deep hatred for the original BoS.

You then lead an assault on a base of the BoS and succesively take it out of their hand (Helios One). The NCR Rangers now agree to help destroy the revolution back at the vault.

You get their and the NCR are currently using a solar powered laser from the Helios One Plant to collapse the vault door, after a third try the door disintergrates and the NCR pour in. What follows is a viscious guerilla fight between the Vault Guard the NCR. After eventually winning the conflict, NCR start to occupy the vault and the overseer's bodyguard is finally at peace.

Or is he, the BoS try to get back at the NCR for stealing the Helios One Plant and they attack the vault, defend the vault and the story mode is finished.

Did I go overboard there?
 
So I've been thinking about this "Mr. House" character, who is supposed to be a Howard Hughes type who has locked himself up in his Lucky 38 Casino/fortress and doesn't come out. He stays in and watches everything via camera/robot, and enforces his will with a literal iron fist. And laser gun.

My first thought about him was that he'd be a robot. I"m really hoping he's not some AI pretending to be human, and actually a guy. I would love to see a reference to the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever where, and I don't think anyone is concerned with spoilers for a 29 year old movie, Blofeld kidnaps and using a voicebox modifiying/emulating computer he impersonates Willard Whyte (who owns the Whyte House casino), as well as making several body doubles of himself, and uses Mr. Whytes empire to build a space based deathlaser that focuses solar energy via diamonds (Bond gets into this tracking these diamonds down), and promptly uses it to hold the world hostage.

Sound familiar to anyone?

I am hoping that Mr. House is just a recluse who is hiding in the Lucky 38 to protect himself and just generally having a good time being a remote control freak. Or that he's older and weakened and bedridden, or hell, he's dead, and his second in command or kid or somebody is impersonating him and now running New Vegas.
