Would you survive post-apocalypse after play Fallout? : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:49 pm

After playing Fallout3 and FONV, you think you could survive an post-apocalypse war? Do you think these games will help us any if we ever have one?

Assuming it functioned like Fallout to the letter? Yes. How? Securing myself in a luxury hotel.

The new Tenpenny Tower? I think so. :spotted owl:

Sure they'll help! If we get hurt, doctors can use seryngues to restore broken limbs and put us back on our feet.
Can't convince a gang leader? Take your magazine on how to convince people and read it in front of him. (He'll patiently wait until you're done)

We'll only have to sleep 5 hours every 3-4 days to be fine, too.

I'll be back in a bit, I think I forgot bullets in my desk, carton of cigaretes in my trashcan, old steak in the broken oven and a shotgun in my tiny mailbox.

I've already begun saving pressure cookers, vacum cleaners, and bobby pins just in case.

In real life? Assuming that you survived whatever caused the apocalypse then yeah, I think anybody could survive without much trouble. In Fallout? I'm not too sure. Obviously I'd give it a go lol. But there's not much you could do if you were jumped by a mutated animal that's 10x the size it's supposed to be.

Don't forget the gumdrops and bubble gum.

Cheyenne Mountains has really huge fallout base, look me up in near future. lol :celebration:

10000 stimpaks, advanced radiation armor with a DT of no less than 20, a weapon that can punch through power armor.

Probably not.

Well the difference between reality and Fallout is of course, radiation won't cause monsters and ghouls. It'll just kill [censored].

In a roundabout way, Fallout has indeed taught me a few things that can be useful in a post apocalyptic setting. I'd be playing Fallout and would wander to my self "self, do you think it would be possible to actually do (insert character action) after a nuclear war and survive?" That just leads to doing some internet research and now I know how long after a nuke you could be outside safely if atleast for short periods of time, you can filter water through earth to remove radiation, and some other stuff I can't remember at the moment...

Yeah, sure!

... but only if WATS is implementd in RL-Apocalyptica I'm afraid...

Will i still be invited if i'm goulified? I could safely scava...er i mean prospect tin cans and scrap metal as compensation.

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:43 pm

I'll have the Cram and Absinthe.
Somebody just grab me a Varmint Rifle and scope!

Yeah I know, if you were caught in a bomb blast you'd be [censored]. I'm safe from nuclear bombs where I am though lol. I'm living in the arsehole of the world, that's the most effective nuclear defense there is lol.

If I could get escorted by a band of NCR soldiers to Vegas. Then yes :disguise:

Sure why not, we need few good gouls test out the mine fields. I'm sure some tree hugger going start some sort Save the Gouls Rights! lmao Remember Folks gouls are friends, not pets. :whistling:

I'd survive because I have two important things:

1. Weapons

2. No fear of using them.

My -karma would be extremely low and I be hated everywhere I go. I don't think I'd last long because everyone would be trying to kill me

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:07 pm

Seriously though, if it is anything like the global destruction depicted in the Fallout world, most everyone in and around all major cities would be gone in a flash. The best that we could hope for as a species is to prepare and make sure we leave behind the knowledge for future generations of survivors to rebuild. That means start drawing up schematics for Rock-it-Launchers and Dart guns.

If a nuclear fallout were to happen now... we'd be the pre-war ghouls.. yuck. :yuck:

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 3:22 pm

I'm already got my seat in the closest Vault and I'm really hoping its a normal vault and not a crazy experimental one. Either way I'm not leaving ever NO way I'm risking running into a deathclaw in real life (hell I'm a [censored] in real life Radroaches would probably take me out)

» Sun Mar 06, 2011 6:58 pm

I would most definitely survive! I'd just save often. :spotted owl:
