The Children of the Cathedral were by far my favorite faction from the first two games. They definitely had the cult feeling down perfectly, and Morpheus is one of my favorite talking heads alongside Lou and Sergeant Dornan from Fallout 2. It was even cooler because I played my character as a fanatical atheist who had the perfect excuse to break into the Cathedral and slaughter all the worshippers in cold blood, it was just like Heretic and Hexen.

Nah, that just sounds really cliche.

if someone have watched The Book Of Eli, he would know how the religion can become a good part of the game

i cant see it happening, but the best idea would be to have a settlement where two religious factions are fighting and you can help choose sides either based on beliefs or rewards, or you could settle it peacefully and live with them.

Then there could be some Yojimbo/A Fistful of Dollars/Last Man Standing-reference

Well, if it was handled like the Children of the Cathedral in FO1, I'm all for it. This was an integral part of the plot. Kinda had to kill everyone in one of the locations and was optional for the other location.

Or like it was FO2, with the church group in San Francisco (can't think of the name), I'm all for it This was kinda optional. Could side with them or kill them.

I say go for it. There was the children of the cathedral like many have said. Then there is the "Hubologists" and the "Followers of the Apocalypse" from fallout 2. Fallout as a whole has cults in all the games. Even Fallout 3. It would be neat to have them fight one another.
"In any event, the NCR allows any non-psychotic religions within their capital (they are all for freedom of religion, as long as it doesn't involve human sacrifice or dipping people in Vats)".
I can see quests in New Vegas, were NCR wants your help in assassinating dangerous Cult Learders. Have them war with one another. Or the dangerous cult leaders want you to do bad things to NCR.

Does anyone else miss Super Stimpacks and being able to kill people with them and not get in trouble? I loved using them for assassinating people.

Good idea!

Thank you

Uhh heh heh....ya

Actually it would be interesting to see a fanatical religious organization in New Vegas which the player either joins or takes down. Would be great to have quest related to it where you kill the leader and become the new leader of the cult. Kind of thinking along the lines of the FO3 addon Broken Steel with the followers of atom.

the Raiders follow St. Sony, or did you not learn this from previous games?

some twisted tribal tribes worship Atom, like the people in Megaton, and a group in FoT:BoS did with that atomic warhead.

That sounds cool, as long as they are kill-able I'm fine really...

One of the ideas i had would be able to pick which religion you agree with at the beginning of the game when you create your character. And yes they wont be real religions but they will follow the basic outline of some. And when you do pick a religion it opens up new dialogue options for your character when he interacts with an NPC of the same religion or one of another faith this will lead to some new quests as well as some new followers.

Now that was an awesome movie.

Funny, I thought it was pretty aweful. Just my opinion though.

The Religions and cults in Fallout tactics are the closest we have to religions fighting one another. With the Ghouls In kansas city worshiping that Atomic warhead. Why are the people in megaton not ghouls for spending so much time around their bomb? maybe it is in better shap then the one from Kansas City.

I loved the Reavers, they were supposed to be in fallout 1 but were cut. The idea behind the fallout 1 reavers came back for tactics. They have religions figures like St.Sony and Satan Soft.
"Reavers are a cult of humans dedicated to the worship of technology. Unlike the Brotherhood of Steel, Reavers feel technology has an important religious significance." " The Reaver Movement" It would be great to see them again.

A bit off topic, but that's how I usually would kill near the end of Fallout 2, so that nobody on the oil rig got alerted.

Same but I did like taking out a couple of other people if I had enough of them. There should have been more things like that to kill people. All the empty needles syringes you think you could use them to assasinate people. other then that one quest I think. Anyways yea this is off topic.

Religions and cults would be cool to join them to have them fight one another. I think there was even a cult that worship the "chosen one" from fallout 1. Finding away to have people worship you would be awesome as well. It could be come perk "Cult Leader" Find an old church or other building and make it your home and people start to be drawn to you worship you. could have things to decorate your "church." If you go away long enough there will be statues of you and pictures. faceless stautes and blurry paintings of course. will show up in the "church."

It can be a very usefull way of making the world more believable, and to make interesting character and factions.

Having your own religion would be pretty awesome, then imagine what I could do...make my whole cult wage war on the wasteland!

religion ,religion never changes
were there is a religion there is always war lol
so obviously answer would be yes

worshippers of the ... atom ,master ,surgeon ,neo cowboy,holy hydro ,elvis ,railroad what ever all the same

Although I enjoyed using super stims very much in FO2, I couldn't help feeling like it was a cheat. I would go hostile if someone stuck a needle in my arm, so imagine standing around, ignoring 5-7 injections...

I couldn't believe that Westin didn't go hostile when you poisoned him either, btw...

Perhaps long range assasination could be changed so that people around the target go cautious but not hostile (unless of course you get up and start running away or they discover the location after a few minutes of scurrying aimlessly), perhaps there should be people in the wasteland you could buy poison from (or even use turpintine and abraxo cleaner) and poison some food or drink that the target is consuming or will consume (or even use a poison dart). I can see why SuperStims are not in FO3, though, I hope they come up with an alternate assasination method in FONV.

Sure but between the two fighting factions, I would pick the third side: "I am god." and then slaughter all of them. :gun:

Since its Vegas with so many chapels where Elvis impersonators can marry you, I think an oh so twisted version of this should have survived the 2077 war. A cult of Telvis -- white leather vested people chasing you with pistols (like the ones he used to destroy tvs with shows on them that he didn't like) for your jars of peanut butter, or because you didn't go to their casino show or because you walk by them with the wrong radio station playing on your PIPBoy, etc. Kill them, kill for them, etc. Too many comic moments to miss.

I am not talking about ghouls, but about a human cult doing weird things because of a belief in Telvis the King of Chapels (or Peanut butter or whatever).

That is a great Elvis Idea you should post it again here http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1074309
alot of people seem to want him in the game. If he was it would be Impersonators because we all know he could not live to 2077. If you to like this idea check out the link of other great Elvis cult ideas!
