All Things Fallout, A Non Game Specific Discussion Thread Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Khajiit had something to say related to the Fallout series but didn't see a thread that it would fit in. So he made one!

This one was thinking that he would love to see a spinoff game from the main Fallout series that takes place in post apocalyptic China. Khajiit thinks it would be interesting to see things from their point of view and to see what is going on over there after the Great War ended.

Ah, you haven't ever played New Vegas. �

In the Capital Wasteland, Bethesda allows us the freedom to go pretty much anywhere. Want to go east toward Super Duper Mart? You can! How about north toward Big Town? Sure, go ahead.

In the Mojave, Obsidian made the game very restricted. The place where that arrow begins is Goodsprings, which is beginner-friendly. If you follow the rest of the arrow it heads south to Primm, south to some other town (help me out here, guys/gals), and then it bends to the east. Goes east for a while, then we head north to NoVac, keep heading north until we get to the Vegas area itself.

Basically, that arrow shows the places we are "supposed" to go as our character gains levels: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and so on. If you try to break the rules, If you try to go north from Goodsprings there are actual signs which say ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK or something similar, and they're serious about this. If you try to go in a straight line toward Vegas (which is what that cartoon is showing), you will be pwned within no time, unless you're already high level. 🪦

When I was new to NV that's exactly what my first character tried to do: he headed east. Not because of Vegas, but because of some other cool landmark. It's what we'd do in Fallout 3. But within short time, he was killed by two giant radscorps. 🦂🦂 And I was playing DiD even though it was my first character!

Yep! Honestly, I really do enjoy Fallout New Vegas, but open world games do not seem to be Obsidian's forte. I've often wished that Obsidian and Bethesda could collaborate on a game, with the former being responsible for the narrative/rpg elements, and the latter in charge of the world building/exploration. I suppose, given the two devs are now under the Microsoft umbrella, that's technically feasible, but... I'm not sure how much bad blood remains between them, not to mention they both have their own projects in development.
