Wunderbot Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's something I have been pondering for a while now. I have done some "research" (wiki-ing) and replayed some parts of the first two Fallouts and it really feels do-able to me, especially the first game due to its (very relatively) small size. The rarest kind of modder, 3D modellers, would barely be required. Most assets are already covered by vanilla assets, already existing mods and near-perfect replacements with some texture work. There are of course large obstacles like quest and NPC scripting, voice acting, landscaping and some gameplay features that aren't present in FO4 and shouldn't be scrapped in favour of superior features in FO4. Compared to projects like Skyblivion and Skywind however, I feel like this could be achieved, depending on how many modders are willing to put their shoulders under it. There was a pretty promising attempt at this in FO3/NV, but it was eventually abandoned. Obviously Bethesda would have to be contacted to ensure such a project would be legal and condoned, since Fallout 1 and 2 were not created by Bethesda and as such there might be issues, but since no actual content of those games would be used, there should be no major obstacles. So, I'm going to check just how much community interest there is for such a project and more importantly, interest from modders. I'd personally contribute to any work not involving scripts. Or voice acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnagechao Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Anythings possible if you're willing to put the work into it, That's a massive scale project and would probably take years to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorKaizeld Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) ... small scale? the first two games take place over multiple states. also FO4s map is smaller then FO3s http://i.imgur.com/XiX8L8U.jpg Edited June 6, 2017 by qwertyzeldar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnagechao Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 ... small scale? the first two games take place over multiple states. also FO4s map is smaller then FO3s The rectangle placement for fallout 2 is incorrect, as part of it takes place in oregon too.

DoctorKaizeld Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Yeah... That is true. Either way the point is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wunderbot Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Yeah... That is true. Either way the point is made They only cover that size in name and setting, not in actual in-game content. More in-game land isn't hard to make if there's not a whole lot in it. An average Fallout 1 playthrough is only about 20 hours. Edited June 7, 2017 by Wunderbot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beat the first game and completed all it's content (excluding some bad endings) in 9 hours. The point though is you cant fill in the spaces properly to make the game. Just because it is only in name doesnt remove the scale the game uses to seperate locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLeonhardt Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 And if you try to do it in Fallout 4, open world format, you WILL have to fill in all the space you don't see. Good luck m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonger Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Ugh... can you lads just play the game as is and stop trying to cram a circle into a square?if they want to take the time to re-create all the game assets . . . porting them is a known copyright infringement . . . let them knock themselves out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
