Fallout 3's approach to survival instruction |

Version 6 - view current page

In the past two weeks I (Alicestar) have been sidetracked playing fallout 3. in the time that I have been playing the game I have found several useful survival ideas within the game.
1. the use of schematics to create weapons from ordinary household items.
2. the overall usefulness of the "pip-boy 3000"
3. the unspoken issues that could arise with Merc's, Raiders, and feral wildlife.
4. the possibility of "hybrids" meaning infected that maintain an average human intelligence.
5. A possibility of slavers arising from the disaster.

I'd like to use this page to hear thread discussion on the issues above and I would also like to see Input from our writers on possible information that could be put into a guide. If this page turns out quality information I will use it to formulate a distributable "hard copy" for all of you to keep with your gear.

WRITERS- please post your ideas along with your names below this line. start with your screen name otherwise your comment will be deleted.

Richboy33lb- I have made the slavery page and the radio page, both being based directly off of Fallout 3, the radio page being related to 3 Dog mostly. A Pip-Boy can be made, but it won't be a magic satchel, it can record what you have and how much of an item you have. Raiders, slavers, and possibly even people like Regulators (mock police force) and Talon Company (hitmen) will pop up eventually. Feral wildlife is more than likely. However, most of the enemies on the game are impossibilites. Deathclaws, Mirelurks, Giant Radscorpions, and almost all of the non-himan enemies are an impossbility. This is a good manual for a NUCLEAR APACOLYPSE, not zombies.

Alicestar-I like the idea of the pip-boy 3000 as a digital map (gps type) system. not as a logistics device. if i want to know how many mags i have left ill look down at my pouches. several other features can be added such as the radio/scanner, LED light, maybe even a gps becon. you can use it to mark supply caches shelters and so on. Im looking int o using an Ipod touch for this but Im not sure what my final product will turn out to be.

Richboy33lb- It is possible for a Pip-Boy like object may be made, but you won't be able to hold items in it or heal yourself with it or teleport with it, while you may be able to mark locations with it or mark down what items you do have.

ALicestar- I think we all just kind of assumed that we wouldn't be able to teleport with it. as for the healing feature, im sure we could load a ton of first aid/EMT data on to the device to allow of you to better treat yourself or someone else with the supplies you have.
