Hey dalus let's team up and go take over evergreen mills, we'll snipe 'em all on the outside and take their chinese assault rifles and mow down the rest of the punks. Then we can start our own mercenary gang, or slaver, or raider, whatever so long as we get evergreen mills and caps. I totally agree with your statement that vanilla would be really easy to take over with prior knowledge, I mean seriously walk into the citadel with a magnum and a fat man and they're dead, shoot a couple then everyone comes bursting out of the lower levels and mini nuke them while their still massed and presto! the brotherhood of steel just fell and it wouldn't be hard to get a hold of those things, you can find a magnum it most powerstation safes and a fat man on bad ass pills in rivet city (experimental MIRV) and that's only one person it takes, decently equipped to take supposedly the most heavily defended powerful outpost in all the wastes. Rivet city might be a little trickier, them being able to have lots of vantage points and such on the outside and the market's pretty open too, I'd whole up with pinkerton and his mirelurk buddies in the bow and get some rocket launchers and mercs to stand on the cat walks porjecting over the water, send someone in guns blazing run through the market, everyone runs onto that balcony, decoy guy jumps into the water and swims to the bow while the entire security squad gets blown to pieces by rocket fire. Another easy conquest. Megaton don't even get me started, pop lucas simms and done. no one's got the balls or the guns, or really the conscience (i say that because of jericho) to fight you. Tenpenny Tower, snipe the guard captain, the others are like a headless chicken and you can just take one of their fancy-pants chinese assault rifles and hunt the rest down, then you make the residents pay rent to you or get the f__k out, easy conquest AND caps. Underworld, hire Charon, the best fighter, who kills azrukhal (or however the heck you spell his name) who's probly the next best fighter if quinn's gone and the chick outside isn't savvy to what's goin down but you could snipe her or have charon take her out after you get him on board. Then cerberus hell, you remove his combat inhibitor and bam he's on your side, you (at the beginning) can take the place single handedly with a little persuasion and a bit of computer skills. easy conquest. Dude let's go to the capital wasteland we'll totally make a good living. You just have to be a decent shot and not be a dumbass. (hey I qualify!) lol

I'll Write another reply once I'm done with the only me one. Then I'll add you and see what happens. :thumbsup:

Okay. If I were to land in the waste with Foreknowledge and a pipboyish device, I'd run to the Sniper Shack, and use that as my beginning base. Learning how to shoot and getting good hunting the beasties or the wastes for meat and other harvest able things. Picking off the wondering raiders that I see as well. I'd probably trade with either Tennpenny or The Falls. Once I get to be a better shot I' try to pick up a side arm of some kind I'd then try to Recruit the wasters of the lands, shooting for those who'd prefer to follow then leader, and those that would depend on me, Teaching and taking care of them, making them NEED me to lead them.

 

Once I start gathering followers, after training and teaching them to the point that I wouldn't need to fear their betrayal or incompetence. We'd then start picking on raider bases (I'm talking about the mine bases where theirs like 2 or 3 there), getting them used to killing and earning us some loot. We'd then scope out the school, I'd lend support with the Rifle while my meatshe.. I mean minio... I mean allies stormed them. we'd then sneak on into the school and take out the rest. The School would then be the gangs base, me taking the Snipers Shack as home tho I'd not visit often and booby trap the place...

 

From the School we'd start to munch on the local wildlife, (Maybe moving up to Lurks or Bears.) continue to pick on Raiders and the like. While still recruiting... Maybe we'd attract the a few ghouls or so for the Rad high areas in the wastes we don't want to visit. Once we get enough people we'd hit Tennpenny first be me play two face and letting the ghouls in the violent way. Then once the ghouls and Guards have both dragged the other down, We'd wipe the floor with any survivor.

 

After that I'd target Green, I'd let loose there little pet and pick off the lucky few who make a run for it at the bottle neck with mini-guns. I'd then send in a Fat man strike team to put the "Pet" down. We'd the sweep up the inside and and take our prize. (I'm not taking the Shotgun) Then with a large enough strike team I'd take down the Falls by assassinating the leader of falls and proclaiming myself the new leader, should they refuse... then they'd face Victory, Terrible, O'l Painless, and Kneecapper (Lets face it Girder and Dave ain't worth much by this time.) Falls, and the slaving would be mine in the Wastes.

 

(Oh it's late, I'm going to have to finish this later)

 

(Sorry the_dissent and Zephyr Kronos I'll continue later!)

If I woke up in the waste land? It would most likely count where I woke up. Issue is would I survive long enough to find a settlement? Most likely spend much of my time being my lovable cowardly self like I am in life. Isn't hard to hide form other people, but animals I would worry about. Biggest Issue of all, how would I know where to go?

 

If I found Megaton, where would I live? The place is pretty much packed and full as is. BigTown... suicide living there. Canaberry, actually sounds nice, but I oddly find it a weird location as it's the only none walled in settlement in the Wasteland, wonder why Raiders never take it over? Better yet Super Mutants. In the end if I lived long enough to find my way to Rivet City, it would most likely be the best place to live. There are plenty of places to live in a ship that size, the game doesn't even explore a fraction of the actual size of a ship of that mass. Out of all the life skills I have, my job would most likely end up being a member of Security. I'm smart but not in a mechanical or medical sense. I wouldn't enjoy being a shop owner or anything like that, since people can easily talk me into things out of guilt and I'd go broke in a week. *laughs*

 

A member of Rivet City Security is most likely where I'd end up. Unlike TennPenny Tower, Rivet City is more morale, and I'm a very morale person, on fallout it's evident I am the worsted thing I'd do on the game is steal now and then.

In Rivet City or with the Brotherhood, i'd make a good living as a historian. My Knowledge of this time period is so detailed, it's as if i have lived in it ;D

 

Also, i know that the declaration of independence was not delivered with a Plane...

 

 

Why are there no Planes? I'll build some. But first, i'd build some Carts. Like Carriages, to be pulled around by Brahmins, tripling their load.

 

Well, i'd invent any great things...

[Zephyr2011]

Earlier I outlined how to conquer a lot of things in the capital wasteland but realistically I wouldn't bother. Knowing the history of the Anchorage war memorial, it's an ideal home and wasters herded mirelurks into it making them build a nest and providing the wasters a near infinite source of food and profit if managed by someone with a half a brain, rivet city didn't like the competition in the fresh food market and sent a really incompetent squad of mercs who let out the mirelurks and got themselves and the wasters killed. So I'd head to the war memorial and use my animal skills (seriously animals love me, I met a bear once who growled at everyone but me it was great lol) to herd the lurks back into the basement and kill them as need be for food while scavving the surrounding DC ruins for security equipment, then I'd fortify the place reeeeally well with turrets and baricades. Now that i'm comfy in my near inpenetrable bunker and don't have to worry about rivet getting jealous and trying to take me out like they did the last suckers, I'll start using some of the excess lurk meat (cause oivercrowding would mean i'd have to kill more lurks than I'd need to eat, especially given their breeding rates and the fact that there's nothing to eat their eggs or young but me) to the passing caravans and gramma sparkle for her to make mirelurk cakes. By this time I'll get good caps and be able to afford to buy some good weapons and stockpile ammo, maybe even get a hold of a water purifier then I'd really be safe. I'd recruit fellow wasters who have enough animal skills to not get torn to shreds by the lurks, I'd get a crew of about ten people which means we have a good defensive force but one that isn't so huge we'll kill off all the lurks and we'll still make a good profit off of em. I'd die happily in my fortified bunker, hopefully with a wife and a kid or two, electricity, caps, defenses, guns, ammo, and comrades, sounds good to me.
