SunWolf Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Is there a mod out there, or in the works where you can use walls and objects as cover? Similar to Mass Effect and Gears of War? I am waiting to play Fallout 3 until I come across such a mod. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neok182 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 this would be very hard to do and would probably require a rewrite of the game engine. though would be totally awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furtim Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 If you notice, in vanilla Fallout body parts that are partially concealed by cover of some kind will have a lower chance to hit, or even a zero chance to hit if completely concealed. Use VATS the next time you have a Raider behind sandbags or something, and you'll see how it works. The same mechanic applies to the player.

neok182 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 @furtim: yes thats true but he was looking for a cover system like Gears of War or Mass Effect where your character literally takes cover behind objects and you can shoot out from around them. example using gears of war:http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/1167/1161183626.jpg In Mass Effect you can take cover on any wall and fire out from behind it. in GOW you can take cover on pretty much anything and fire out aiming or blindfire. both are shown in that image. i'll admit i'd LOVE to have this in fallout. it would be great and go with the gears mod i'm working on but i just don't think it's possible.

SunWolf Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thats too bad it would be so difficult. Shooting in and out of cover is my favorite part of playing shooters. Its a shame it is not in the game already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankManic Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Can't you kids just duck behind a brick wall like the rest of us? What possible use is it to randomly spray ammo out from whatever you're hiding behind? All you're going to do is waste ammo and maybe break your wrist. Just sit behind a brick wall like a normal person and live with the disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumyungai Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Lean and prone keys would make a lot more sense to me. Personally, I always found the "sticky" cover spot thing kindof annoying. I prefer to be able to move freely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neok182 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 @FRANK/SUMY: go play Gears of War and then you'll understand why we like this. Personally i wish every game had some form of cover system like gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon4 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It would require a game engine rewrite. There are things in the world that you can crouch behind and use as cover, there is no need for the character to "attach" themselves to cover. I also never saw this method as efficient as you can easily get stuck moving between two points of cover trying to get free of it and move.

neok182 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 there are easy ways to get out of cover. in gears it isn't as easy because the game is about cover. Mass effect handed it very well though by just moving backwards you left cover. Personally i think fallout would work great with a cover system but i do understand your guys reasoning for not liking it. I was the same way before i played gears and mass effect but since then i love the cover system. would work great if you play fallout in third person as well.
