Ok, so I've taken the idea from Icey who created this delightful thread, and I'm wondering if anybody wants to play Fallout II with me? You submit ideas as to what we should do in the game, and I'll show you what happens on my computer monitor.

So I've just booted the game up.


This is a fantastic intro!


All to the tune of "Louis Armstrong's 'Kiss to Build a Dream On'"




Ok, Nightlife. Here's the story. You have been tasked by your village elder to find this thing called a G.E.C.K. (Garden of Eden Creation Kit), which will save your desolate, desert home and your tribe from annihilation at the hands of the unforgiving elements. If you play, there will be a nearly free-form RPG awaiting you, where you can choose your own actions, say what you want, do whatever you want whenever you want. But you might bump into that creepy metal guy on the title screen! So what will it be?

Edit: Oh, the world is a delightful "What if the 50s visions of the future came true, except based on 50s technology, and then World War III happened?" type of world, so there are guns and lasers and big punch-card computers you can talk to, and remenants of the previous civilization. It's a pretty cool place to hang out as long as you have some Rad-Ex.

just curious. why is this particular thread listed in BOTH the game room and the SCREENING ROOM??

[Slade]

Because I was hoping to draw people in who don't normally frequent the game threads, because it's a screening-ish thing. But it's also game related. It's just a link from the screening room to here, though. It only exists in one place, and I think the screening room link won't ever be updated, so it will fade into obscurity regardless of the posts here. The game requires much user input, so we need many users.

And even if you don't want to play, at least click the link to Icey's thread if you are the least bit familiar with The Sims.

Click on options and raise the gore level!

[David-kyo]

Click NEW GAME, create chara, select Male, traits Gifted/Finesse, have Intellect and Perception of 9, Charisma 2, Endurance 6, Strength 6, you divide up the rest, and tag skills Small Guns, Doctor and Science.

[Slade]

I'm going to wait a bit for more suggestions to come in because I want to do stuff in batches. You have good suggestions, though you could have different traits, like, say, Force Sensitive, Origami Artist, or "Blows shit up real good." Don't feel too limited by what you remember from your game. I don't mean to knock your suggestions at all, of course! I'm just saying that you can think as far outside the box as you want.

I've never played Fallout II before, but I'll still add... something. lol.

Don't forget to give him some kind of pimp hat to wear, and really large sunglasses. Also make maybe his smelliness stat that of a ham sandwich? lol.

I shall play a character with no skills in any weapons and her name shall be Relena Dorlen. The concept really dosn't work if her boyfriend isn't about to blow shit up and threaten to kill her. He has skills with large guns, energy weapons, and armory stuff.

[Slade]

Hey, only one game at a time! Maybe we can add you as a party member later, but for the most part, I just need you guys to help me direct our main character, until we meet the other ones. Possible love interest noted! I'm waiting for a little bit more, and we can create our character and get started! We still need a name for our guy/gal, too.

[Jane Sherwood]

Just click New Game, already!

DURF PERSIMMON!

[floppydisk]

Can you spear your entire home village? Try that.

[Slade]

Click on options and raise the gore level!

I tried, but I turned too hard and the knob kinda broke past the highest gore level. I hope my monitor has enough red in it!

Click NEW GAME, create chara, select Male, traits Gifted/Finesse, have Intellect and Perception of 9, Charisma 2, Endurance 6, Strength 6, you divide up the rest, and tag skills Small Guns, Doctor and Science.

I decided with the rest of the skills to get our agility and luck up. With that low charisma skill, we'll probably need to be dodging many blows, and some good luck always helps with that.

DURF PERSIMMON!

I tried, but only Durf Persim would fit.

Don't forget to give him some kind of pimp hat to wear, and really large sunglasses. Also make maybe his smelliness stat that of a ham sandwich? lol.

Done,

done,

and done!

I'll give you guys some time to decide if our character is good, or needs a little more tweaking, and then we'll give the game a go!

[J m HofMarN]

Rock! Can he be a hacker?

[SimeSublime]

Firstly, he should have a fetish about other people's left arms.

Secondly, he should start off neutral on the good/evil scale. That should change as things go on, of course.

Finally, let's give him a phobia of the colour blue.

edit: And then start the game!
