Firelance Type "Unique" Item : Fallout: New Vegas

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:59 pm

I am all for new stuff.
Some of us humans have a propensity to modify things, and sometimes even improve on them.

The tinkered up Plasma Pistol (by humans) in Mothership Zeta is an example of this.
It was a must have as it did twice the damage as the standard issue plasma rifle, even if it was an ammo eater.

Firelance type stuff, by humans this time.

Even if the Alien blaster is a peice of Fallout Lore. (Random encounters)

Aliens are part of Fallout going all the way back to the beginning. Mothership Zeta went way overboard, but there was an alien crash site in Fallout 1 with an extremely powerful alien blaster. Oh, and if they're going to do an Area 51 DLC, there has to be aliens. The crashed alien ship in Fallout 1 had "Property of Area 51" printed on it. I wouldn't mind a powerful human creation like the Metal Blaster, but alien weapons will always be most excellent.

I think there is a misunderstanding.I am talking about the firelance and I am asking the people if they would like a new item that you randomly encounter in the wasteland.

No misunderstanding. The firelance was a unique version of the Alien Blaster. Pick any unique I have proposed above and make up a compelling random encounter with which to get the weapon. Maybe you come accross an old John Wayne movie set and find his winchester named "The Duke". Or you find an old hunter's blind with skeleton and "The Deer Hunter"

Wow Im the misunderstood one :bonk: ...sorry about that.
Anyways thats a really smart way to put it.good job
hope that no one else has the gun though like the alien gun

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:30 pm

As long as it doesn't have anything to do with aliens, i'm fine with it.

Xenophobe?

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 2:33 pm

"Beware the alien, the mutant, the heretic." Oh wait wrong franchise >.<

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 6:04 pm

The Deer Hunter should be a unique .32 pistol.
Or...
a unique .32 called 'Di Di Mao'

Ahaha Warhammer memories... Don't resurrect those for me.

Yes and I would also like a piece of armor. Say a full suit of armor...would be sweet. Doesn't need to be a god item, but should be above any other armor in game (even if just slightly) and look a-f****-wesome :intergalactic: Doesn't need to be alien but although most people hated Zeta I still love aliens (not from Fallout, just...aliens) so wouldn't mind if it was alien. I wouldn't want something like Lincoln's Repeater, which is from the past (?!?) with the matching armor type item, which would be Lincoln's Top Hat or his Beard...

agree with cool special armor
disagree with alien
agree with no matching armor
agree with no lincoln repeater
but do remember that this is bethsidian we are talking about.I'm sure they could make something awesome and one-of-a-kind with it still being crazy cool and a still a little lore sprinkled on top :liplick:

rather not because i would never find it!

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 9:07 am

Certainly don't mind having cool rare weapons. I almost never used the firelance though. I always felt like I should be saving it for something since the ammo was so rare. Next thing you know the games over and I have plenty of ammo left. But it was fun to load a game in rivet city and melt down everyone on the ship.

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 6:01 am

IDK why you guys hate the aliens so much it's always been a part of fallout i will agree that zeta took it overboard but it was still cool... if there is an area 51 DLC it only makes sence to include some alien things

I'm not a fan of alien weapons in Fallout because when I'm running around the wastes with a shiny alien rifle and everything else is dirty and destroyed it feels wrong.

Of course I don't have to use it, and I don't, all I'm saying is I'd rather they make a unique version of a human made gun as opposed to an alien one :3

A big part of San Fransisco, NCR,Shady Sands, Vault City, Broken Hills and Lost Hills bunker wasn't dirty or destroyed.
Not every place is a [censored]hole like in fallout 3 y'know.

ahh my friend but this is the Mojave Desert not the Capital Wasteland! It still wouldn't quite fit in but that is why I suggested a new weapon take the place of the firelance.

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:43 pm

firelance was really rare but very powerful so in a way it evens out right? i wouldnt mind a whole sh*tload of new over powered weapons as long as they were gauarded by like 5 behmoths or the random event only happened on the 31st of a month at 1:31 or something and plus they limitted the ammo of the firelance so maybe in new vegas they could make the ammo weigh alot so in hardcoe u could barley use it or you have to make the ammo yourself.

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 9:47 am

Lightsaber and robes.

I must admit, a lightsaber (esp. different color crystals) and some Star Wars-type tunics to roam the wasteland with would be a-maz-ing.

I'd jizz.. and pretend I was a Sith out to slay all but one person in the entire world of New Vegas.

Srsly.

On another note.. I dig the aliens, cuz they're weird and interesting to find in a post-apocalyptic world. However, I've only recently been a Fallout fan and played FO3 on Xbox 360, and even though I agree that Mothership Zeta was pretty 'eh', that doesn't mean they haven't found a new way to add some 'spice' to alien encounters, etc.

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:19 pm

ok maybe some sort of alien easter egg but no... no, mothership zeta was bad and i wouldnt like that gun....... was too powerful

» Tue Mar 08, 2011 8:33 pm

After playing Mothership Zeta I've grown extremely tired of aliens expecially the stupid the 1950's tiny bodied ones with oval shaped heads, If there was a redeeming quality of Mothership Zeta it was the Alien Epoxy that helped keep my large stock of unique weapons at 100% quality.

So my answer is no more alien stuff for a very, very long time please.

Make an extremely rare regular BB gun/ammo.

Red Ryder LE BB Gun -
50 damage, high crit rating, Silent, -10 perception on target.
