Could you survive in The Wasteland?

[kj28lfc]

I would sit the dark corner of the Shack crying, rocking back and forth and releasing bowl movements.

 

But seriously, I would try to reach the brotherhood of Steel and help them find tech, eventually ask them to train me and toughen me up.

 

If it was real life, we'd all most likely die from a single bullet, or most definitely the second. With power Amour though I assume we'd be able to handle a clip or so as the amour looks reinforced to survive an onslaught.

 

Am one of the good guys, don't have a bad bone in my body. Although my mind seems to think differently lol.

 

So to answer your question, I'd try, but realistically, I'd die very early on.

You do know.... as Paladin Bael say's... "No civilians, travaling salesmen, or super mutants aloud! Which are you?" So, no Brotherhood right away.

I think this says it for me. Everyone would fight to stay alive, that's the nature of all living things, but unfortunately if we were ever just picked up and dropped into such a new and harsh reality, we wouldn't have learned the skills we'd need to survive, and probably wouldn't last long.

 

Plus I wouldn't want to eat ancient freeze-dried Salisbury steaks for the rest of my life. And can you imagine how dry 200-year-old cigarettes would be? No thanks. :P

yeah, thats about right. ever watched the "reality" series called the colony? it's probably not a 100% authentic post apocalyptic scenario, but the more you watch it, the more it becomes apperent that you'll need other people to survive. people like a foreman, mechanics, carpenters, a nurse, electricians etc. in short you'll need people with years of experience in building and repairing things. also someone who knows how to patch you up. and of course, a group may have a higher chance of fending off marauders than a one man army.

Could we survive in the wastyland? I thought that's what we were doing. I wouldn't call it that, because most people just load a save game when they die. While I don't actually get very much done as far as getting even close to halfway finishing the main quest. Anytime the charicter dies I pretty much start over. If it's a really good charicter I might envoke the 3 death rule to get a bit more play out of it. More recently I started to up the risk each time I died. Starting with a MMM spawn rate of 3-5 (median 4) which quickly turned into 6-8 (median 7) Imagine that spawn of 3 Talon mercs magicly turning into 18-21 meanies, geez it's almost instant death. Along the way this changed combat very much so. You pretty much have to seek cover an real quick, each action has to be made fast or you're dead. Which with no risk would be fine, but if you have to start over each time you die, it's very scary/rewarding, that ever present risk of total loss. Wouldn't be fun without it now.

 

However as the risk increased, it's now suicide going out into the wasteland, and the idea of going downtown certian death. This lead me to Animated prositution. I thought it would be a nice idea at the time. There was so much combat an getting killed only to start over. So that turned into making a charicter that was pretty much a hooker. Not so much by choice, this all started with looking for dad in Megaton, then needing 100 caps to get information that turned into 300 caps which turned into not being able to reach the downtown area just yet. Which turned into being one of Mort's hookers, not so much walking the streets though. Using the RR vaults tunnel system to reach Rivet city and Tenpenny. Eventually it was a near daily patrol. Sweep the saloon, get drinks for customers, sexual favors for money. Give the money to Mort. Go to the tunnels, shower. Rivet city, get money, shower, give money to mort, then go back out. lulz maybe 10,000 caps a day, but Mort gets all of it. Also anytime I get out of pocket like forget to give him the money. He'll beat meh up thanks to groovatron an the Pitt animations.

 

This went on for a time then Mort sold me to P.Falls, I forgot to give him the money an so I got beat real bad an thrown out the back door of the saloon. Spent some time in the slave pins. Took a list of all the potential buyers out of folks that might want a pretty hooker or someone with a pipboy, then drew a name out of a hat. Bam I got sold back to Megaton, the owners of the 2nd saloon wanted to get into Trickin. Went back an Mort didn't even seem too angry I was back, even let me back into the old saloon if I wanted to drink. Standing out front I thought everything was okay, but turns out Mort had paid Jericho to keep me from eatting into his poon profits. And by "keep me" I mean beat the crap out of me an throw me over the rail of that top platform, then force Andy stall to sell me back to P.Falls. It was bad, the fall broke both legs, one arm, busted head. Couldn't turn tricks no more, ended up back in the slave pins.

 

Couldn't really pull a name out of a hat, seems like Pitt raiders would be the only folks interested in a cheap slave. Ended up in the Pitt. Scabing it up. Idk it's not so bad compared to being a hooker. There was so many many nasty things you have to put up with, but both situations were pretty depressing. It almost makes the privious charicters getting killed on suicide missions seem kind of like a nice day. And so I go back to scabbing it up. Which pretty much is just do the pitt work animations from 8-12 eat slop, lay down, and go back to work until the RI-PN says I need to sleep. I started to reskin the player in a new custom race for being beat up looking, but it was just more easy to go with dirty pitt looking. Can't work if you are all beat up. Can't play if you are making a new skin. So I picked the middle of the road. Level up a bit, an go kill some trogs if I don't get killed myself. She's pretty, but this charicter has been sooooooo depressing, death would be the only good thing that could happen right now.
