killphill Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I just downloaded the infernal sky mod (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6977) and it just gave me an idea. Is it just me or fallout 3 just not really dark enough i mean sure there lots of violence and killing but overall i cant help the but feel the wasteland is a little bit goofy. If u saw the screens for the mod its show in my opinion a more realistic and dark wasteland thats make u feel everything has gone to hell and their is no hope compared to the games cheery colourful wasteland. so my request is that some one adds some gameplay changes and effects to compliment this mod. From the screens u can tell that the enviroment and sky seem more dangerous and poisonous so this would mean when the player is traversing the wasteland they will always need some kind of enviromental protection like a gas mask, power armor, radiation suits. If they dont wear one they will suffer constant radiation. this is pretty easy on its own to accomplish but wat i would really like to see is this applies for npc aswell so everytime u talk to or fight a human enemy they will be wearing some kind of mask to protect themselves from radiation. So wat im getting at is npc like raiders and wastelanders should have differents armors than they have right now. Also maybe an optional idea would be to take out some of the goofy monster like the huge crabs and scorpion to give the game a better feel. this just a vague idea if anybody can expand on it please share. My request really is for someone to make a dark, realistic and hopeless wasteland...without massive crabs and scorpions :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony the Wookie Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 well, it has been over 200 years, so I would beleive the air would be very much clean, probly cleaner than Washiington DC is today, though I havn't been there to really know the polution levels mabe it the game was set 10 or 20 years after the bomb... but 200 years later, I personaly think the Wasteland would be better off than Fallout 3 shows but that is just my opinion...

evilmicevil Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 thats a real cool idea but i had a idea to go with it cuz you said that if you didnt have on power armor or whatever you would get rads all the time that a cool idea but this mod should have the player get more and more dusty ugly and torn up the long he stays out side but you would have to go to the Dr to fix yourself up cuz if you think about it your the only one in the game who never changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harabec Weathers Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 well, it has been over 200 years, so I would beleive the air would be very much clean, probly cleaner than Washiington DC is today, though I havn't been there to really know the polution levels mabe it the game was set 10 or 20 years after the bomb... but 200 years later, I personaly think the Wasteland would be better off than Fallout 3 shows but that is just my opinion... Hmmm Im not so sure. Radiation, and radiactive materials such as plutonium, uranium, trinium, etc. All these materials do is produce heat. Everyone is familiar with the bomb dropped on Hiroshima (spelling) back in the war (actual war not the game) The that was just one bomb, now a nuclear apocalypse (as portrayed by Fallout) radiation would still be abundnatly present. Radiation soaks into soal, makes the soil unable to produce vegetation, not to mention the atmospheric heat would be unreal. The half-life of radatactive material, lets say plutonium for example (assuming its weapons grade since it was used in an atomic bomb) is roughly 24000 years. Meaning that plutonium will emit radiation for the 24 centuries. Thus radiation will spread and spread and spread. Espcially since bombs were dropped almost everywhere. Fallouts system of radiation is nothing compared to how dangerous rads really are. In Fallout you can absorb up to 999 rads before dying. In truth radiation that measures 15 rads a sec on a meter would melt skin off. Lol Fallouts radiation system always seemed pretty harmless to me. Just wandering through irradiated clouds and water like its nothing. Anyways, I digress. My opinion is that the Fallout 3 wasteland is much much more livable than it should be even after 2 centuries. I know a lot about radiation and such, my dad was a NBC Defense Specialist in the US Army many years ago, Ive learned it all from him so believe me, Fallouts wasteland is extremely generous than a post nuclear wasteland should be Anyways, food for thought :) Sorry for the bad spelling its late an Im really tired lol.
