Aurasoma Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 WOW, what a set up.How many people have PMed you for the mod list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charwo Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 None actually. The list is on the front. Not OP, but down a bit. And they can all, with the exception of the Summer mod, be found on Nexus right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charwo Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Would people be interested in other DLC shots? If so, which ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thsealord Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Certainly interested but, for the life of me, can't think of any specific DLCs or locales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charwo Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Point Lookout: http://imageshack.us/a/img844/5301/blackhallpanarama.jpg Panorama from the Blackhall Estate http://imageshack.us/a/img854/1364/calvertmansionfromair.jpgThe Calvert Mansion from the Oceanside http://imageshack.us/a/img831/6974/inthedistance.jpg The Cathedral from Point Lookout http://imageshack.us/a/img580/7650/churchofthedovepointloo.jpgThe Cathedral in Close up (tree popup effect for comparison) http://imageshack.us/a/img6/1894/churchcementarypointloo.jpg The Overgrown Churchyard Cemetery I was hoping to evoke the wild, pastoral, even peaceful feel you get in this Point Lookout. In the swamp it gives a Deliverance vibe, instead of a Gothic one, and I'm all for it. But the differences aren't nearly as dramatic than from the Pitt.

7thsealord Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 The differances may not be as dramatic, but they are major. Again, great visuals there. My compliments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmorrowind Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 About the arguments on the first page, no that's not realistic, or you don't know what a nuclear winter is. There is a big difference between a single nuclear explosion like Chernobyl and a nuclear war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thsealord Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 About the arguments on the first page, no that's not realistic, or you don't know what a nuclear winter is. There is a big difference between a single nuclear explosion like Chernobyl and a nuclear war Also as previously mentioned, two hundred-odd years since AND the sheer resilience of nature. Certainly not saying the world would have reverted to an unspoiled state but, as a certain person once said, "Nature .... will find a way."

Valmorrowind Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) What could 200 years represent after the explosion of thousands of nuclear nukes? Nothing. Even the vanilla universe isn't realistic. There is not only the effect of nuclear winter that would kill almost any kind of ecosystem, but also the radiations that can't disappear in 200 years. Nature will find a way, but not before hundreds, maybe thousands of years and there is no way the human kind would survive, not even in vaults like in Fallout because it's likely the Vault would start deteriorating before the world becomes livable once again.

charwo Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) That is utter bunk, as is the concept of nuclear winter as understood in popular culture. As mentioned in previous posts on this thread, not even the Czar bomb (50 MT) achieved stratosphere penetration. Not even the last explosion of the Yellowstone Caldera, one of the earth's largest, could do so. When Tambora blew its top in 1815, creating the Year without summer, it was one, ONE year of crop failure, only north of the Mason Dixon Line, and then it was fine. Tambora blew with 800 MT in the area reserved for a single Hiroshima blast radius (20kt blast). This was more powerful boom than Humanity has ever attempted, blew more ejecta into the atmosphere than a full scale nuclear strike, even in 2077 style coating of all urban areas, and did so by several orders of magnitude. ONE. BAD. SUMMER. Yellowstone is a Toba style VEI-8, at least 10X Tambora, and there was no mass extinction when it blew 600,000 years ago. However, this matters not a wit: because in the Lore, by international treaty all the nukes used in the conflict were 100 kt or less, although a lot more were built as a result. Most, like the one in Megaton is a 20-25kt model. It was specifically stated this would produce no nuclear winter whatsoever, but would make one hell of a bad FALLOUT. And in Honest Hearts, you have a log of it: The Black Rain: 2 solid months of highly radioactive rain and dust storms. Even that is a stretch: the noticeable radiation from nuclear fallout dissipates in 14 days. Nuclear Winter as a mass extinction device, an ice age causer is utter bunk, but it explicitly didn't happen because of the nature of the Strike. I don't need Nicholas Cage with his hair as a bird: Your argument is invalid. Edited April 2, 2013 by charwo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
