Fallout: Mods, 3, RL
« on: January 05, 2007, 14:09 »
Anyone who has anything to add, please do.

My personal questions are:
Fallout3 - I wasn't aware that it had changed ownership AND was an active project.
So WTF, mate?

Fallout Mods - is anyone aware of one which is *playable*, or might be in the near future? FMF is on life support, last I've heard.


Fallout RL - I haven't tried Alphaman 'cause I heard it was really bad. Other than that, I've heard of many post-nuclear projects (or indeed Fallout RLs and modules) which were only very theoretical.
Why?! This is one game with massive potential left completely untapped! I assume all Fallout Tactics objectors agree this is due to a lack of dialogue and depth, so we know what's *not* there, why doesn't someone, with the tools to create it, do something about it?? Certainly, I'll be glad to help in any way possible - map, quest and character desgins, whatever, and I'm sure there are others here who'll act the same - please speak up. With enough serious people on the project, it won't take up your lives unless you'll want it to.

So, is anyone up for the job?

Thanks! I've heard of it but kept forgetting to check it out.
Oh, and there're modding details!

Fallout 2 MegaMod is rather good, though I highly recommend waiting for the next release (it will be announced on NMA mentioned here), since 2.0 is buggy as hell.

"all Fallout Tactics objectors agree this is due to a lack of dialogue and depth"

Try to find "Awaken" mod for it - you'll be surprised...
Their site is down, unfortunately.

TFoN- Have you ever played Wasteland?  It's the spirtual predescessor to Fallout, and in my humble opinion, is as good as, if not better, than the Fallout series.  Forgive my heresy if I offend :P  But while it's not a RL per se, it's more rogueish, if I'm making any sense.  Check it out at http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?gameid=2425

Ahhhh.  I have a old machine dedicated to old games and roguelike, I probably should have mentioned it's a bit of an oldie.  Oh well.  I suppose I'm just wierd like that.  Tho I would like a FalloutRl, but I'm a poor college student:(

Awaken, MegaMod. Thanks :)

I have Win2000 - I'm kinda' pressed to manage with what I have, considering my "too ancient; not ancient enough" computer.
All kinds of abandonware I've been downloading have to wait, which is annoying as hell considering there are newer games I don't want to play, but can.
I guess I'll add Wasteland to the list.

$500? I'm broke :)
But we'll see, in a few months... It's a worthy cause ^^
Is there any way beside paypall to donate?

Nobody said one person would have to pull out that 500$ :P. As for other methods -- I dunno. If there's any that will allow me to withdraw the money here in poland, it would work. Also all Visa/Mastercard credit cards work without a paypal account, as long as they support electronic payment. So all that is needed is a friend with a credit card :P.

A card and account I have, they're just very empty 8P
Well, I guess I'll check with the officials once it becomes relevant.

Hey, sure, that'd be great, but I can't talk for anyone else :)

Modeling the game after Wasteland (except with random areas) but keeping it in the FO universe sounds like a good idea.

To the starving student.  MS Virtual PC is free now, so why not pull a copy, and set yourself an virtual DOS  or 9x box?  That was the only way I ever got WarHammer40k: Chaos Gate to run clean. It SHOULD handle sound ok, and if you're thinking RL only, you won't have to give up much drive space.  It'll be slower than you parent PC, but it should handle a roguelike just fine.  Also, you can run it in a window, and watch a movie at the same time.  Perfect for my short attention span.
