FALLOUT Roleplay: Information Thread
HGN Fallout History Run down
HGN was one of the first communties to attempt FALLOUT Roleplay in garrysmod, but at the time, little to no content was around, so we abandoned the idea and later attempted Half Life 2 Roleplay instead.
Location and Timeperiod:
The Time Period is 2260, between Fallout 2 (2241) and Fallout 3 (2277) games, the location is still to be decided, but we will most likely choose to be further east of the capital wasteland.
Nice one, i guess we have to be eastern wasteland, due to the factions we have involved, such as the outcasts, and im sure talon company are from east aswell
I understand this, but this leaves me with question to what the Enclave are likely to be. Yes, they possibly were hidden all around the country, but with no main base, and no offical HQ (Posiden Tanker is gone, Raven Rock might not be offical yet), what will happen? Also, the BoS would be relatively weak, because this is only 5 years after arrival in the Capital Wasteland.
I think the Brotherhood at the current time would be stronger or around equal to the 2277 equivalent. They'd have less deserters, wouldn't be too strained from the super mutant onslaught and have more supplies, most of which are probably used up in 2277.
Well, primarly all the Outcasts left at the same time, but you are right. I didn't think of it that way, I was more thinking of them setting up defences, but they are not at the Citadel. They would have more supplies because they haven't been cut off from the west for twenty or so years yet.
I hope this isn't shitty like past falloutrp servers, where it is completly unrelated to fallout and all of the guns are css guns and the characters are cat men and pink tampons.
....Did the previous Fallout server fail that much? Wow....what the hell.

I belive he's talking about OTHER servers, not our previous one
(PS: I led the previous one >:( )
Sorry. I didn't know how it was, and believed he was talking about the previous one. Sorry, Afro.
Jeeze this is not gonna be lore friendly at all is it?
Im a fucking fallout junkie and some of the things you are putting are very failtastic. Vault 142? Vault 188? Talon Company outside of the Capital Wasteland? No.
Even though there IS a bunch of fail in the lore, Im looking forward to this server and will RP regardless of the shit story created by someone who has obviously never played Fallout 1 or 2.
Awful harsh words. This being RP some things are going to have to be changed/made up to make it fun for the players. The spirit of the games is there, even if it's not entirely to the letter canon. What's your brilliant idea for setting/time period if this one is so bad?
I actually had a few ideas that made us so we didn't have to follow a large amount of guidlines. Base it in 2279, the Enclave are what's left, etc. It would be easier, for we could make our own rules for what happens next. Also, it should be out of Virginia, so there isn't too many things that need to be the same.

What I've been trying to say. Let's be original, and it's easier to base it where we can make shit up.
I agree with the above.
We want to keep it Cannon, but also design it around how we want it to be, creative yet still on the storyline. Canon often ruins roleplays, as it gets linear, you only need to take one look at Hl2 Roleplay to see that.
Yes, but more freedom, of story and setting gives many more options. In 2060, the Enclave hadn't even re-emerged again yet.
Nice idea Zombie.
I can't wait for this to come out, I'm a big fan of fallout 3 so this idea is going to be amazing.
Trying to keep the Canon and still giving freedom is kindof hard to do, But I think we will manage. Hopefully it doesn't fall into the rut like HL2 RP does.
This RP will Own.
Sounds interesting.
There's a timeline here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline)
And just so you know it, fallout 3 was in 2277. Also remember the brotherhood of steels original mission was actually to collect the technology, but the outcasts were formed 2776. I hope it will be good.
Fallout RP it would be nice.. There are some few Fallout RP servers, But they are empty.. Meh.
you should bring some of the tribes back from fallout tactics and the BAD ASS dread locks looking armor from fallout tactics (based in chicago)
Nice Ideas
I'd prefer tribes, but since, and it has been stated multiple times, we are doing a place near the Capital Wasteland, they probably won't happen.
Rawrroyo ?
Yeah, tribals were great, try to make some models of them.
Hey can we join factions before this comes out XD
