Fallout 3 - Tumblr Posts - Page 5
What do the dialect differences between gay and straight people in the wasteland look like? And like the fashion and stuff? Like do you think there’s a specific way to have a holster that marks whether or not you’re gay? Or different kinds of clothing? Wasteland culture could be so interesting within each specific faction I wish we learned more about it. Legionaries with specific gouges in their ears to mark their sexual identity for people in the know or like specific markings in power armor or stuff I LOVE SECRET CODED LANGUAGES AND DIALECT CHANGES TO DISCREETLY IDENTIFY ONESELF
Mothership Zeta where instead of the dumb space battle minigame, part of the quest is acquiring an alien translator to properly confront the captain which lets you actually speak to the Samurai and learn about his past.
I'm reaching the conclusion that I only really like 2 of the Fallout 3 DLCs and even then I don't think Point Lookout is as good as people say. I don't like the subhuman hillbillies or the shallow stupid tribals (both the optics of their presentation but also Fallout 3's horrendous bullet sponge issue). I don't care that much about Desmond when the great game stuff kinda ends as it gets started (especially when Dean Domino is a similar idea done better) and the final confrontation is super weak. It's really held up by the atmosphere.
The Pitt is my favourite but even that isn't perfect given it's final choice. It's a better moral dilemma than most of what Fallout 3 offers but not much seems to meaningfully change if you put Werner in charge, especially given that he's in this more for the power play and less for slave abolition. It really comes down to what party you trust more than anything to do with the slavery OR the baby kidnapping. I also wish they had the guts to keep your items the whole time Dead Money style - have you leave everything in the capital wasteland instead of at the gates. That way the ending doesn't become ridiculously easy on high levels and you don't have four guys take down someone in power armor with plastic batons.
Broken Steel and Anchorage are both fun turn-your-brain off corridor shooters in the Fallout Engine. Steel might be the preferred one just because of the scale of everything but the new enemies are some of the worst bullet sponges I've seen in a game maybe. Writing wise they are both awfully shallow
I see why people enjoy Mothership Zeta's quirky cast of characters but I cannot get past the gameplay. Textbook definition of a hallway shooter, and a bad one at that. Hundreds of identical and uninteresting bullet sponges that ends with the clunkiest execution of spaceship combat possible. I'm only planning to replay it once to see if it's more tolerable in early levels before the scaling kicks in.
I'm fucking crying. As an Autistic person I feel like I'm seeing a racist joke in a 40s cartoon. ☠️☠️☠️
I love how there's more popular Legion fanart than Enclave fanart on here. Says a lot about Tumblr users if they prefer Misogynistic Imperialism over the Racist Imperialism...
Some of my recent fallout drawings
My sister’s courier and my Fo3 lone wanderer
RIP Butch Deloria, you would have loved west side story/the outsiders/grease/hairspray
Rip Mayor Maccready, you would have loved fidget spinners
Specifically this one
“My fidget spinner is the coolest fucking one here in Little Lamplight. check it out” tries to spin it on one finger and it falls.
“You tell fucking anyone about this and I’ll chop your god damn balls off you fucker!”
Turned on my Xbox to play fallout 3 again and I guess this is where I left it last.
The clipping of the bangs is so hehe
I became the pint sized Slasher last night.
I was so baked I actually sobbed when I made Timmy cry.
I killed Martha and felt so bad.
I have the strongest feeling that when Mac was in his little Lamplight era and a lot of common little blurbs about him involve his childish behavior.
With that stated, I strongly believe that Mayor Robert Joseph Maccready, would do a kick and run.
Kick and run was a term I learned in Elementary school, localized slang maybe? Idfk, anyways. The term refers to the act of kicking someone, usually kicking someone in the balls and running away.
I can just picture Mac talking to some mungo caravaner for food supplies and he forgets his gun and while the man try’s to rip him off and Mac just gets so pissed and swings his foot and fucking runs, locking the giant wall gate thingy with a slam and shooting at them for good measure.
Or maybe he does it to Butch, that’s an even better claim. Who doesn’t want to kick that pretty boy at least once.
Ahem
*taps mic*
Yes?
Need I say more?
Can we get Obsidian on the phone? Keep your grubby paws away from this idea Bethesda. Let Obsidian, THE BOSS, make the trauma the fallout fans deserve. Better yet, somebody give this man an entire gaming team to make this game themself.
Fallout game idea
I want a Fallout game set right after the bombs fall. Right after. Not like 76 where it's 25 years after (which doesn't count anyway 'cause it's multiplayer and online), I mean right after. You watch the bombs fall like in Fallout 4, only this time you don't have a Vault to run to. You watch as it destroys everything and you just barely miss the blast zone, or barely close the door of your family bunker or one of the Vault-Tec preservation pod. You wait a few hours, a few days, maybe a few weeks, but like everyone else you come crawling out. I wanna see the raw emotion in every single interaction after that, the processing, the loss, the grief and mouring as everything sets into place and people realising it wasn't a dream. I wanna see, not raiders, but desperate looters threatening you for any supplues, who are genuinely good people, they're just scared and trying to get by and they're sorry they really don't wanna hurt you but they need that water please they have kids-
I wanna see fathers trying to desperately keep their kids safe, a sister desperately looking for her sibling, wondering if they survived like her, if there's a possibility, or if they died. I wanna play a character who themselves are looking for their parents, siblings, etc, anyone they knew. I wanna see people recognizing bodies and skeletons, name tags, uniforms, accessories and having a bittersweet moments of half closure/half mourning as they cry over their family, friends, lovers, even enemies who they can admit didn't deserve to die like this, because they may be dead but at least they know what happened to them. I want a quest where the character you play goes to the home where they grew up and sees their things, old pictures, maybe their parents bodies, and they just can't handle it- But they're not alone, everyone's in the same boat and everyone's going through this right now, we've got this-
I want to see people slowly becoming ghouls throughout the game, settlements made of nothing but tents with people quarantined and dying of radiation poisoning, like at the police station in Fallout 3. People who were once doctors and nurses setting up outposts and trying, like the first town you go to in 76 and there's a makeshift clinic in an old church, volunteers trying to help create support groups and networks. People getting sick from new viruses and diseases as their once hygienic lifestyles no longer exist, they don't have luxary showers and soaps everywhere anymore, so new illnesses quickly spread.
I wanna see any military personal banding together to be scouts for a group of settlers, they're the ones assigned to actually going out and getting resources, teaching people how to shoot and defend themselves. People who used to be engineers making the first blue prints for generators and water purifiers, contractors and builders teaching people how to build shacks, teachers taking it upon themselves to take in all their students who are now orphans. Farmers teaching people to plant and being the only people able to regularly supply food. Maybe the player's charcter's skills and special stats are based on what they're job was before the war, if they had one. A doctor? Intelligene and science stats are higher, a politician has good luck and charisma, an athlete has good strength and agility, ect.
The end of dollars and cents, the start of cap currency and going back into the days of casual trading rather than luxury supermarkets. "I'll trade you some water for some tatos", no more taking things for granted. NPCs comment how surreal it is to feel like their living in the old times where trading was a thing farmers did. The whole world went back in time and feels like they're in the goddamn 1300s.
People discovering what's safe or not to eat anymore, being fascinated as crops start to mutate together and make a single, new plant, being terrified of animals mutating.
People reminiscing about movies and shows that they never got to see the end of, books that they wrote that will never get finished, a comic series they'll never see end or know what happens cause the writer's probably dead. Singing around campfires together after finding a intact guitar and people making requests for songs they'll never heat again, songs left in time. Someone raids a radio station and finds holotapes of some preserved songs and everyone at camp is so happy for the first time since the war, and they dance and finally feel some normality again. Songs they thought were lost, returned. In times where it's calm and they've finally processed, actually having the heart to joke around, discussions about craving food they'll never have again, wishing for a nuka cola that wasn't flat and warm, wanting a clean bed, complaining about walking everywhere when they used to have cars, etc.
I wanna see people trying to keep law and order before it slips away, old police officers and lawyers trying goddamit because this country let us down enough, we won't do the same to these citizens, these people-
People who once worshipped the American flag losing hope and realising it's faults and hating it. Patriotism turned to anger and rage, and a fight and fire inside them that keeps them going, keeping them alive, telling them to survive, determined to do better than the country and world of the past.
Those holotapes, notes, and terminals throughout the games, they're history. I want to actually play living in those moments, those times, those unsure, terryfying times. I don't want to just see it as history. I wanna play that person who's holotapes and terminal entries will be found years later by some vault dweller.
Fallout has always done an amazing job with this, the stories from the pre war ghouls in the Underworld, the pregnant runaway with no name in Fallout 4, the vaults scattered in games and time frozen in those places, the camps and desperate help zones built in some sort of cry for normality in 76, people trying to immortalise themselves like Mr House. The start of factions and/or cults, the start of people worshipping atom, the start of trade caravans being a thing, maybe making your own faction or trade company. But I don't want to just see it in the easter eggs in games, lost in time, I want to live through it. Just once. Just for one game let the player be the scared survivor leaving holotapes, notes, and terminal entries that'll be discovered one day, the only proof they ever existed.

What's one way your OC has changed since you first came up with them? What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC? for all four! or for Deborah, if that's A Lot lol
Thank you @aynrandslashfiction ! And I can do all four no problem!
Deborah’s most significant change is her whole role as the Deputy. Nowadays I would describe her as an anti-hero, wherein back then she was your “Stop the cult and save Hope County!” traditionally heroic OC. She’s not a very good person but she’s trying.
I think she would fit well in a Fallout: New Vegas AU, where she’s the Courier Six and her brothers lead Caesar’s Legion… Joseph’s Legion?? Very interesting concept.
Selená changed a lot when I brought her back from the dead lol. But like Deborah, her role changed by become Jacob’s childhood lover + Dani Rojas’ mother. Canon is pretty much gone with her in the picture, and I like that.
I think a God/Goddess AU would do her well. She’s very close to Aphrodite when it comes to her character, and Jacob is obviously the God of War.
Altsoba is a little more morally grey, very neutral karma. I wanted her character to be more realistic in a post-nuclear warfare world so her old personality got scrapped:
A TLOU AU would be good. She could totally fit into a zombie apocalypse setting.
And for Bleuette? I’m now shipping her with Butch (and sometimes Amata). Other than that she’s still the same old Lone Wanderer.
Her AU would be one where the bombs never dropped, everything is normal, and her and Butch are enemies to lovers 100k words slow burn rivals.

The new fallout show is kinda shit honestly, I don't know why I waited 2 full episodes before accepting that. Even if it gets better immediately right now at episode 3 on the 10:32 mark (when there's literally a dude named 'Petty Officer Shortsight") i'm not gonna tell someone "yea you just have to get through 3 hours of really underwhelming and boring content and then the good part starts." I don't know why I keep expecting stuff connected to the Bethesda name to actually be good
@necromorph-slayinglovemachine i think you would call this the BEST DAY EVER
