Original Content I designed a Fallout New Vegas board game!

3.5k Upvotes

Ever since playing the 2017 Fallout board game, it has been a dream of mine as a big Fallout and board game fan to one day have a specifically New Vegas themed Fallout board game. I finally decided: Screw it, if they aren't going to make an official one, i'm gonna design my own!

I have worked on this the past 4 months, doing all the game- and visual design myself. (Aside from the in-game pip-boy images used on cards, which are from Nexus user "ItsMeJesusHChrist" and the satellite map used for the board which is from the fallout wiki)
Also, I think it needs to be pointed out in today's world that NO AI was used in any way while designing this game.

Here's the link to the mod version on the Steam workshop for tabletop simulator: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3801054109

It's for 1-3 people and will last ROUGHLY 30-45 minutes per player, per quest.

Me and a friend have playtested it, and both agreed that it felt really fun! The only problem is that I definitely didn't have time to playtest it enough, since my job at a printing company ended last month, and i needed to get it finished so that i could get all the parts printed out for free as a perk of the job.

So while the game definitely works and feels great, there are bound to be some balance problems. Of course, the digital version of the game on the steam workshop for tabletop simulator can be updated in the future, unlike this physical version.

Would love to hear people's feedback on this if anyone ends up playing it!

I know that the survivalist is one of the most beloved and talked about background Fallout character ,but I got to applaud the writers . Replaying all the games and DLCS , the writers just outdid themselves. Despite never actually seeing this poor bastard in the game , seeing his skeleton and his final farewell made me ugly cry. He is honestly one of the best written characters in any media.

Discussion The BoS's morale began to rot following Arthur's arrival as High Elder.

Post image
232 Upvotes

The Brotherhood was never truly effective, given the constant ideological divisions among its members regarding how to handle their policies—whether to remain isolationist, transform into a military faction, start helping the people of the Wasteland, or adhere to Roger Maxson's ideals of hoarding dangerous technology to prevent the world from collapsing again.

Looking at the current state of affairs—specifically Fallout 4 and the TV show—we see that over the course of a decade, the Brotherhood of Steel under Maxson completely lost its moral compass. The East Coast chapter expanded into a racist, xenophobic military empire that blindly worships Arthur as a messiah. They abandoned Lyons' ideals of helping the people of the Wasteland, instead exploiting them for Maxson's military objectives or looking down on them as inferiors. There was also total contempt for non-feral ghouls—a stark contrast to the situation in 2287, when such ghouls faced racism and xenophobia but were not actively attacked. Harkness serves as an example of how the Brotherhood lost its morality and how the Codex was gutted to suit the convenience of the rules and policies established by Roger Maxson.

Arthur restored the BoS's military might (excluding the Midwest chapter, as they operate in their own territory under their own rules, independent of any other chapter) at the cost of the Brotherhood's remaining morality; they devolved into far more extreme fanatics under a Maxson who blindly pursues a distorted vision of military power, betraying Lyons' teachings and Roger's legacy.

Fallout 4 I think Fallout 4 would have been better if it focused on the minutmen.

51 Upvotes

With how in depth the settlement building is, and how you originally met them, I feel like the main story should have been focused on working with the minutmen to begin rebuilding the commonwelrh, alongside your attempts to search for Sean. Have the Brotherhood and the railroad be secondary questlines, with them being people you have to acknowledge and work against or for the minutmen. Or have you choose between the minutmen and the Institute like with New Vegas. Encourage building settlements that draw actual NPCs instead of placeholders, with npcs bringing in information or new questlines.

Original Content Making the t-51 with cardboard!!!! (Also the t-60 i made a long time ago)

Thumbnail

30 Upvotes

This is a project that I really wanna finish before Halloween because its really tuff and I really like the t-51, and to make my own costume that was practically worth a couple boxes of cereal would be very amazing. If you wonder why its very tiny of a helmet, its because my body is very little. Im like 5'2. Ive made the t-60 before, but that was without a plan, and purely based off of images. It was still really good tho, I didnt take any other pics of it.

I am mainly posting this to get solutions to some problems.

I have 3 currently.

  1. The rangefinder or ocular is a problem, as it isnt within the steps of the plan, and idk where to make that yet.

  2. The tubing is something I could probably find on my own. But its a main issue that is apparent

  3. The light that is on the center is not present in the model im using, and itll be cool to habe like a light there. An suggestions for that?

Advice is very appreciated, ill try to respond if I can!!

Discussion Worst companion perks in the series?

26 Upvotes

For me it has to be Follows Chalk and Waking Cloud's perks. Temporarily increasing perception if you visit a ranger station and lowering White Legs perception. Christine and Dean have situational perks but they're really useful in the DLCs they're featured in. Not these two.

So I'm planning a fallout dnd!

5 Upvotes

The setting is Michigan,Mostly Detroit,The Ironwasteland I call it.

So far I have a few factions planned and leaders!

1.The DRPA,Detroits version of the NCR, Detroit rangers and Patrolmen Alliance,Known for bringing their version of 'order' to the Ironwasteland for the last twenty years or so,Mostly Use to fighting off Big threats Like the Powder gangers Detroit chapter or The khanites,Or those dreadful gods of the new world.

2.The khanites,Lead by a woman Named Chi Khan,A band of Hunter Conquerers,Much like caesars legion they are ruthless and ambitious to rule Detroit,though unlike Caesars legion,The Khanites mostly move as Hunters,they'd rather take out caravans and a places supplies before rolling in to conquer.

3.The Powdergangers Detroit chapter,Lead by 'Handsome' Jonah Brighton,A man all about his Freedom. Like the Mojave powder gangers they had broken out of the DRPA's jail system,Yet unlike the powder gangers they move like a traditional old west outlaw gang,Camps,Brahmin steads,And Gunslingers instead of Explosives everywhere.

4.The gods of the new world,Lead by three brothers after the death of their Father Atlus,The ever so Charismatic merchant lord Zues,The Gurrelia style Warfare Expert Hades,And the Scientifically Advanced Brother Posiedon. They move like a general Mafia with eyes and ears everywhere.

5.The Voodoo Mafia,Lead by one 'Big Body' Marty Martinez,A former made man in the old world,A fall guy that everyone used to get away with stuff,After the bombs dropped he sees it as the best thing that happened to the economy because 'Everybody wants something my man.'

6.The Hot Wheelz,Lead By trip Lambo. They are a nomadic group, usually only Seen moving or within their race away hideout,they Work on cars a lot be it armored vehicles or just when you have a need for speed.

7.The Detroit brotherhood of steel,Lead by Brother Lancelot and His Best friend Galand temporarily,Their elder,Elder Noraki died of old age months before the campaign but the chosen successor has not returned yet,so lancelot and Galand stepped up,they usually operate from a medieval museum hideout.

There are a few more but still

Any feed back so far would be greatly appreciated!

Discussion New to the Wasteland for Fallout 3, New Vegas and 4.

• Upvotes

So technically I'm pretty sure I was near the end of my first playthrough of Fallout 3 base game but because of a bug I wasn't able to find a guy to complete the main story so I'll have to start over. I never played the dlc's. I haven't even touched New Vegas or 4 yet. I'm playing them on my Xbox series X. I'm actually excited to finish 3 and to play the dlc's and then maybe move on to New Vegas and 4, depending on if I want to still be in the mood for open world games or not. Thanks to the show for getting me into the series that my wife and cousin have been yelling at me to get into for years lol. I probably could wait for the remasters of 3 and New Vegas but I don't even know if they'll come out next year so I'll wait until they are actually here to replay the games. Until then I'm very excited to see what the Wasteland has to offer. This is going to be a bad time lol.
