Ideas For Fallout's Evolution

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:23 am

These are a list of Ideas i believe will better the fallout series some of these requests are more realistic then other, but they are just ideas meant to take the game in the right direction i am not saying its [censored] if there not added immediately.

1) Because of fallout outs plot and scenery it becomes a prime candidate for a survival game, i am a where and very happy about the new hardcoe mode being added to New Vegas but i believe it should be expended on...

  • Hunger - Food can be bought or hunted for small amount of health but needs to be eating on a regular basis to avoid penalties that will eventually lead to death
  • Thirst - The player now must realistically stay hydrated in order to survive to avoid penalties that will eventually lead to death
  • Stress - Obviously life in the wastelands isn't going to be easy but i don't know anybody who isn't insane that has no problem mutilating peoples heads with a high powered shotgun gets attacked by zombies super mutants monster and children and then has dreams about the best lobster bisk they ever had. Stress should put penalties on the player and should be affected by needing rest (now there is a reason to rest) being exposed to combat for an very long extended period of time, ex-poser to extreme temperature and im not sure how i feel about this last one but its an idea and i want to know what others think of it performing a negative Karma event when ur Karma is high and Vise versa, because good people cant kill innocent people without mental consequences. ( with all 3 of these systems i think its important to not make the amount required normal, and a minute is an hour in the fallout world so having a meal three times a day is not only unrealistic for someone in a post apocolyptic society it would become a burden that would end up pissing off the player more then it would help create enjoyment.


Now alot of people are gunna say i dont wanna have to [censored] worry about that [censored], but my argument for y it should be in the game is for one it makes fallout out unique, it helps separate fallout from other games, it gives gamers verity, it keeps the player occupied with things he has to do which makes it alot harder to get bored same thing with real life is you dont have a job it kicks ass for about a month but eventually you realist life is funner with the contrast. This new survival system will either excite or annoy the player but ethier way it with help sumurge the play in the fallout world and in to the characters shoes which will in term make the experience more fun because even if your annoyed ur feeling annoyed from your characters perspective of the hardships he has to face in his life. Lastly its just more realistic, realism helps capture the player better,

2) I dont really like the stealth system, it is sometimes unrealistic and its hard to get an idea of how well ur sneaking up on someone. my idea besides obvious little tweaks is to create another bar on the hud that measures how much attention ur bringing towards yourself, when it gets 75% filled it turns orange and lets the player know that someone has a suspicion that they are not alone, and when it gets to 100 it turns red to allow the player that an enemy knows that their there and roughly where they are. Also what i thought would be really nice for the player is a Instant / silent kill system. There needs to be some sort of reward for sneaking up on someone i believe that their should be a system where is you sucessfully sneak up on an opponent you can kill them instantly with a unique animation. An example of this would be if you were holding a knife you cover their mouth a slit their throat this would also make stealth more valuable and the combat experience more versicle. i dont think their should be a way to silently kill someone with a shotgun though so i believe that silent kills should be limited to silent and melee weapons, and the rest should be instant kills or finishers (whatever you wanna call it)

3) Creating a Faction - Self explanatory this is obviously a huge request but every fallout fan dreams of creating their own gang or army to aid other factions that will go to war with other factions creates improvement in trade between you and other factions give you a head quarters helps create a sense of responsibility to your people not only does this create a huge amount of more content that will severely increase the games life and enjoyment but it will make the player feel like he can impact the world more which will make him feel more submerged in the game, it will give you an opportunity to lead instead of follow which is a rarity in fallout not to mention you just feel like a bad ass owning ur own gang or army. I dont expect to see this in a fallout game anytime soon but making Bethesda a where that this is something players really want might help move them in the right direction.

4) Transportation - Alot of people would say that they would want their own car or motorcycle and im not sure that would work well with the physics that the game uses actually im pretty sure it would svck dike without a massive overhaul to its engine but obviously if transportation was added the need for fuel as a rare purchase-a-ble commodity would need to be added i want to know what other people think on this subject.

6) No Scoping - This might be something im alone on but i play on the hardest possible difficulty i dont like not being able to see anything in my peripheral when im snipping i believe that using a scope on a weapon that has it should be optional in other words you should be able to aim down the sights of a weapon and if you pressed a button youd be using the scope and when ur in scope the the inner circle of vision would be normally zoomed in but the black surrounding would be replaced the model of the gun and the edges of the screen would be the surrounding environment un-zoomed just as one would see in their peripherals in real life.

7) More Diverse Character Creation - I had a vision for my character before i played fallout 3 but i couldnt create it because all the hair styles where from the sixties and the faces i could create looked like slight varations of the brady bunch family it would be cool to have the ability to apply expressions and have hair that doesnt all give off the same vib, such as spikey hair like terminators, gothic hair such as dantes from dmc 1 ect, another thing would be body definition i get that size cant be manipulated because it would have to effect every single piece of apperal in the game and thats just insane but to be able to control the amount of muscle defintion on ur character would be nice also facial and body scars tattoos and alot of other options that would give our characters more personality and unique-ness. your feelings on this?

8) Technological Utilities - Thing such as night vision at night thermal vision in steamy boiler rooms, binoculars for the wastes, better flash lights for the dark lock pick kits or skeleton keys that would be less likely to break and help improve chance of sucess, cooking supplies that would increase the effectfulness of eating i cant think of alot the things that can be added to the game, this second but these kind of things usually just add fun without hurting the game play like to hear if anybody else has suggestions of more utilityies or usable terminology, that is fun and alo serves a purpose.

9) Love Intrest - Adding a love Interest to the game that progresses adds benefits and doesnt turn out to be a selfish ungrateful [censored] like amata this would allow help add importance and drama to the main story line if they were intertwined. Your feelings?

10) [censored] the children in fallout their so [censored] annoying and all need to be eradicated if Bethesda insists on making them that annoying they must submit to our desire to blow their [censored] brains out all over the wall and piss on the entrails. (children shouldnt be immortal its already rated mature come on)

11) Weapon Diversity - And just curiously what the [censored] happened to all the weapons in between the 60s and 2088 i mean old hunting shotguns and photonic laser rifes? Where the [censored] are modern weapons like Scars, Xm8s, and Acrs just curious im not suggesting they add them necessarily it might end up hurting the vibe of the game to much but it certainly would be cool if weapons were more diverse thats always a plus.

  • One handed and two handed sub machine guns (less powerful and accurate but faster firing then assault rifles)
  • Build appon non-bullet weapons like toxic chemical sprayer, microwave emitor (radiation damage), and a telsa gun throws streams of electricty at people like force lighting or something
  • Have more then one or two weapon in each class and have them all be different like one has better range other has more power ect..
  • Remote guided missles that you can control
  • Non leathal weapons so you could stop people from hurting you without pissing others off or you can shut stupid people up

these are my ideas i want to hear what people think about them and hear ideas that build apon them also i want to hear whats wrong with my ideas if someone believes that there is something

Didn't we establish that talking about this is against forum rules in another topic?

Honestly the first thing I would evolve is the engine powering it. Gamebryo is nice, but it's just way too buggy. I'd much rather use Source or Cryengine. They're just as moddable and infinitely more stable.

1. the need to sleep, drink and eat is already in Vegas in the form of hardcoe mode.

2. frankly having a clue how other notice you would make it even more unrealistic, it works fine in my mind.

3. your a loner, the wanderer, why should you be the leader of some faction?

4. meh maybe, I don′t see how walking and fast travel didn′t do it′s job, but that′s me.

5. scopes alrway block your side vision in 3, I assume they do so in Vegas, the new Iron sights are closer to current games, should add that extra touch ya want.

6. the game is suppose to have a 1950 feel, that′s kinda Fallout series thing

7. sounds about right

8. again no complain here

9. hello thread lock

10. the timeline splits of after the 1950, for all we know all those guns you mention are never thought of.

Firstly, there is a topic for what you would like to see in future Fallout games, please use it.

Secondly, discussing child killing is a restricted topic on these forums - please do not raise it again.
