PrometheusV Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Yeah, that was what i meant. And im talking about the WHOLE Fallout series (some show denying moves, which are typical for a traumatic change, but not being born into it; Why are there so many obvious places unlooted, when scavenger would prolly be the first new "Job" after war; While Supermutants are new, why does the Ghoul/Human relation still seems at same climax, even settlements that showed listed generations of tradition, like Aroyo f.e., looked like they where build in 2 years, whithout any improvment, stuff like that(no rant about bad game, but from a novel view of the background, theres something... odd, which isnt important at all so dont bother it, but i like story backgrounds)) And btw, their "futuristic" stuff isnt given a 50´s look. Almost everything you see in Fallout 3 is what they already had BEFORE the war, so they dont even look 50´s they actually are. Well, the Gatling Laser and the Power Armor are postwar build from prewar, but you know what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinmymind Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I can sort of see what you mean - the whole Moira 'wasteland survival guide' quest bugged me - it's been 200 years.. people KNOW how to survive or they'd all be dead by now! That plus all the old food in the game really never made it 'post-apocalyptic' for me - 200year old cereal and snack foods... There wouldn't even be dust left let alone nutritional value. Fallout 1 had some pre-war food in it (mmm... donuts), but that game was only 80years after the bomb I think and they were all 'sealed' foods as far as I can recall. Fallout 1 also had a great solution for the abundance of firearms still in working order - the Gun Runners. Hmmm.... Mod Idea: A group of Mercs & Traders takeover an abandoned vault... fix it up... put in defenses... start manufacturing guns and ammo from blueprints found in the Vault archives... Gun Runners DC Mod - Opinions? That mod sounds KICKASS! Long as I get to kill em and take over the biz :P Speaking of-where the hell are mods where you can take over poo? Megaton needs a grown-up mayor, the council is in bad shape.... hmmmmm if only i could script :( I don't know the rules on spoilers, but yeah. Maybe the fact that it all seems so damn disorganized still. I know it's end of the world as we know it and all that, but you'd figure that in 200 years people would organize into more than 10-man townships... Eh, this is not the thread for that discussion though. On topic: I don't give a damn about it fitting in, I just want more badass guns dammit!

PrometheusV Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Erm i guess we are overtaking this topic... mmh... DAMN RUSTY TEXTURES!!!! DAMN RUSTY CANS! Make new cans!!! NOW!Why must every can be rusty? Its more realistc if some are still shiny, because its possible!!!I own a shiny can from the year 2 A.D. Im a can expert! Did you know that you can open and close a can 1.000.000 bagillion times without wearing it off? I hope i got back into the topic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobalt262 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Erm i guess we are overtaking this topic... Point :biggrin: Think I'll make a separate topic under Mod Requests forum for Gun Runners DC (edit: Topic now up - Gun Runners DC) Having everything look like crud is kinda boring, these weapons have obviously been taken care of otherwise they'd be so much scrap by now. - sure that 10mm Pistol isn't going to be brand new factory fresh, but what's wrong with just a little holster wear :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusV Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hell yeah! And why are there paint pistols everywhere, huh? Not that you can give your rusty stupid worn of pistol a nice paintshop. Matte black, voila, looks good as new. OtherwiseLook at the BRANDNEW costume of The Mechanist, its so totally new and still it looks like... a bucket. See? Theres the proof! Even new stuff looks old in.... rofl Opinions are like ... noses. Everyone has one. That gives it a slight decrease in value i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that you can open and close a can 1.000.000 bagillion times without wearing it off? I hope i got back into the topic :) It's funny that you should mention cans. Since the 60's, most cans are actually made of aluminium, though often the top is still tin-plated steel. So, yeah, red or brown rust on aluminium is beyond freaking stupid. Mind you, tin-plated steel is also very rust-resistant, because, you know, there's the tin between the steel and the air or water. If it weren't, then any can of salty or acidic soup would rust on the inside very fast. And at any rate, if in-game the _inside_ of that can didn't turn into a rust flakes soup, there's no reason why the outside would be all rusty. And the moral of the story is: if you're going to make a fuss, take the time to think about it first. It might be the wrong example again ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moraelin Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 1. They're made with tin-plated steel since _1820_, you know? So they still wouldn't be all rusted like in the game. Sorry. 2. The war happened in 2077. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrometheusV Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 A can in my basement started to rust after 10 years (the soup went bad too, and they told me it last forever :)) Ok then my joke backfired and rusted cans are actually totally unrealistic, and REALLY REALLY need to be replaced. :confused: Good thing i didnt mentioned the ingame concrete conditions. :rolleyes: I hope i am still right with my opinion that such topics are totally senseless, or will someone prove me wrong there too? Besides the fact that its so totally funny imagening people biting in their keyboard, because someone has a different opinion than theirs about game content :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraelin Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Besides the fact that its so totally funny imagening people biting in their keyboard, because someone has a different opinion than theirs about game content :) So basically what you're trying to tell me is that you're a troll, trying to annoy people? I should have guessed after that previous fit, I suppose. How about you stop _polluting_ the thread then? We have enough noise in the signal as it is, we don't need yet another troll trying to make people "bite in their keyboard." Opinions are fine. Trust me, not many people are going to bite in the keyboard because you like rust. Polluting a thread with useless drivel to fuel that fantasy, is not, though.
