what would a fallout cartoon be like? (if bethesda had nothing to do with it)
Great if it was inspired by the first two games.
Complete garbage if anything else.
>>78458912
what about new vegas ?
>>78458890
Adventure Time back when it had adventure in it.
I honestly cannot recall any cartoon that takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. So, I guess something fairly original at least.
>>78458890
Fallout has rich iconography to draw from, so potentially very appealing.
However a cartoon could never capture the heart of fallout, which is primarily about highly granular choices and consequences.
Depends, are we doing bleak serious fallout aspects like the main storylines or the wacky fun aspects like some side quests and the background lore?
>>78459026
maybe a bit of both
like start off with goofy characters searching the wasteland look for fun and excitement and then build up to something
>>78458979
Good, but still not wacky and funny enough to be a cartoon (given I haven't played Old World Blues).
The first two had a great atmosphere to be adapted into a cartoon, with big cities and settlements with wacky characters in it.
Fuck, I'd probably pay just to see a short with Harold as a support character.
>>78458890
But we already had a fallout cartoon

AT, Thundarr, a shitload of anime, notably HnK.
No real main character, but a few recurring ones.
I imagine each episode pretty much being it's own self contained story about a different part of the setting. Maybe have some of them be about the backstories of characters from the games.
Every episode would end with the MC dying in a unique way a-la Kenny and a companion robot making a shitty pun.
So, uh,thinly-veiled Fallout thread because a shit-ton of us probably got it for Christmas (like me)?
I just got F4 for Christmas. I chose the dog at the gas station as my companion instead of Codsworth, and now I can't find old Cods anywhere around the sanctuary. Anyone know where he is?

You mean great if inspired by the first game.
If it's inspired by Fallout 2 it would be 90% garbage memes and 90s references, so fuck that.
>>78459326
Maybe focus on the companions in a given game and their experiences and reactions to the larger conflict going on around them?

>Marcus tries to deal with being sheriff to some backwater while dealing with people fleeing the Enclave attacks

>Curie experimenting on the various communities while hearing about how eah of the four factions backstabbed one another
>>78458912
Unless it's a Tranquility Lane cartoon.
TL is the only enjoyable thing about Fallout 3. I even forgot what a slog that game is until the simulation was over and a German scientist let me out.
>>78459729
At least it was closer in spirit to the first Fallout than 3 was. Seriously 3 was just some generic post apocalyptic shooter with some Fallout elements thrown in
>>78459832
>At least it was closer in spirit to the first Fallout than 3
I don't see how that makes Fallout 2 good at all

>>78459003
I think this could be captured in a cartoon.
When the protag is faced with obstacles, have none of the solutions be very clean. No matter what they choose to do, there's some kind of unpleasant consequence sometimes, and have the series run with the consequences thereafter.
It's not about PLAYER choice, but more about the IDEA of choice and consequences.
>>78462638
NV should have been more like 1 & 2 or obsidian should've been allowed to make van buren a game since they borrowed so much from it for NV
>>78458890
>>78458979
I played New Vegas like it was a show. I made my character, a character. It made it a lot funner actually. Like I mentally wrote in the parts I needed to have an actual personal plot.
Hell, if I was more talented I was thinking of redoing the whole thing and making a Youtube show out of it or something. Skyrim too.
Point is... it's doable. Definitely doable to create a show in these universes. The key is solve their own stories, not the universe itself.

Oh please, Van Buren was 90% done when Bethesda pulled the plug in it when they got the IP
I'd rather have a comic in an Anthalogy format, with each issue/arc focusing on a different Wastelander/Wanderer in a different part of the Wasteland during a different time. It could cover both locations explored in the games along with new ones.
>An arc about BoS soldiers in Fallout 4-era Capital Wasteland and explores the implication that they basically run that entire region
>An arc about a lonely scavenger living in the ruins of New York around the turn of the 22nd century
>An arc about some guy wandering post-apocalyptic China
>An arc set during the Resource Wars in Europe
>For that matter, an arc set during Post-apocalyptic Europe. Preferably London or Moscow.
You get the idea. The possibilities are endless. A series focusing on a single character in a single place would get too boring too fast.
>>78458890
I've always seen Fallout as post apocalyptic western.
Bunch of individual communities with no or little unified law and fuckton of problems everywhere.
Add into that a wandering gunslinger hero who comes to a place, fixes people's problems and is then pushed away as people don't want no trouble making gunslinger to stay in their town.
Add some Fallout visuals and you have easy formula to start building show off from.
>>78463224
yeah i know obsidian made it a standalone FO3 expansion
>>78463220
>dead money is probably the best NV DLC
I personally couldn't stand it, but the companions were pretty well thought out and the Holorifle and Automatic rifle were great weapons.

True.
>OWB was overrated
How was it overrated?
>lonesome road worked as an ending to the series
Gameplay wise, I'd say yes but not for the series. It was great for a high level Courier to fight in but I felt that it didn't wrap up the main plot very well.And why does Usysess have to have 10 in very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat?
>>78463134
The radios, and to a lesser extent the cloud and hologram sentries. Mostly when they're combined together into a mess that you'll probably have to die to a couple times to find the safe path.
>>78462900
>1,2, NV can't get out of California and Nevada!
>So glad that the Bethesda games all take place on the west coast tho
maybe because the developers for the old games said that the East coast is an irradiated wasteland and most of the midwest is a huge dustbowl devoid of life
>>78463432
>The radios
The shielded one are the worst when you have to find the mods for the guns.
>>78463524

I'm a skeleton from Missouri and can confirm this.
>>78463526
>>78463432
I seriously don't get this complaint. The only times I had trouble with the radios at all were towards the very end pretty much right before you face Elijah and the first ones I encountered where I didn't know what to do exactly.
>>78463524

But they went along with that. The Capital Wasteland is barely habitable when you compare it with the West Coast.

>>78464125
You have a point. For a bombed out wasteland there are less craters than you'd expect. Did the Chinese lose that many bombers? The only two craters you see are Megaton and the White House. At least the area around the crater has the flimsy excuse of being reinforced for that kind of disaster.
>>78458890
If it's animated like those vault-tec S.P.E.C.I.A.L videos I'd watch it.
It's good to see that /co/ is just as much of delusional nostalgiafags as /v/ is.
3D Fallouts have too much buildings, but it's a price of going 3D instead of having tiny maps with fast travel in-between. Better not to think about it too much.
Fallout was never meant to be a realistic simulation anyway.
>>78466446
A board dedicated to traditionally children's entertainment is nostalgic for things?
What a fucking shocker!
>>78466446
Interplay/Obsidian Fallout is objectively the best Fallout.
I literally played 1/2 last year and 2 is my favourite Fallout game. It's not nostalgia.
Fuck off underage.
>>78466537
It's not objectively. Fallout 1/2 had its own set of issues that 3D era fixed and replaced by brand new ones. It's all matter of subjective preferences.
Either way, there's no point to live in the past, Fallout 1 and 2 do not have this much content.
>>78466549
Who gives a fuck about the content if it's all boring, shallow filler?
Fallout 4 is a horrible casualized game that's like 90% filler content.
You're not one of those people who thinks appreciating old games and wanting newer ones to stick to their roots is "living in the past" are you?
>>78463292
>>78458995
I'd kind of combine these two. I'd probably set it between Fallout 1 and 2 myself while the NRC grip on things would still be tangent and such.
Possibly focus on in-land California (desert, Valleys, Sierra Nevadas) with the occasional jaunt into Nevada, Oregon, and Seattle.
So should the MC be a vault dweller? A Scavenger? Or some other background? Ex-Raider possibly?
>>78460361
This would also be pretty amusing too.
As a third alternative, we could just do a pulp noir cartoon series focused on Nick before meeting the Sole Survivor.
>>78459590
Give it a little bit of time. I'm not sure you'll even actually be able to recruit Codsworth as a comp again until after you investigate Concord.
Depending on your playstyle, you might be a bit better off. Early on the game you're gonna end up hitting weight limit and probably dropping shit on the ground and Codsworth, being a cleaning robot, dislikes that.
>>78466557
There are things that I don't like in Fallout 4, thankfully, they are all optional.
What do you mean by casualized anyway? It's not like originals were any hardcore.
>>78459590
I found Codsworth hanging around my old home like this. I think it's his default station.
Now I myself lost Dogmeat after trailing Kellog. Is he still there somewhere?
>>78463602

>He thinks Fallout was ever good
>>78466618
This bait doesn't even deserve a picture
>>78466623
if you took all the good bits from all the fallout games and combined them into a single game, you would have a good game. However each individual game has bad that outweighs the good
Slightly tongue-in-cheek with production values similar to Venture Bros. A series based on the first game would probably use Albert as the hero, having him start out relatively wimpy but grow into his own by the end.
It should be made by the 90s batman team + blood and gore.
>>78466613
Back to the No More Mutants forum with you.
I imagine it being done by filmation but the PSA's are all ironic
>>78458890
Probably something lighthearted and stupid. Pop culture references for gamer kids and consisting only wacky monster of the week type episodes.
Honestly, I couldn't see it being any good if it doesn't go edgy.
>>78458890
don't try to make a cartoon that encompasses all of fallout, just pic a couple people living in some corner of the wasteland and focus on their attempts to survive
>>78462900
>developers use the areas where they live as settings for games
Oh no!
>>78466557
i liked FO4 for the exploration element but the rest of it was lacking.
the exploring in FO3 and NV sucked
>>78466854
I like plot of FO4 so far. First game in series made me consider if I was fighting for good guys so far. I'm really struggling with moral choice here.
>>78466866
Really? The moral ambiguity was done FAR better in New Vegas.
>>78466566
The dialogue (In that it all literally leads to the same result and is massively simplified), a removal of most chocie and concequence, factions that are worse than New Vegas, RPG mechanics butchered or removed (skills, traits, perks, SPECIAL etc.)
It's basically Borderlands now.
>>78466903
Moral ambiguity was mostly between House and NCR. Unless you feel particularly edgy, Legion fails to present its case.
As of FO4 I'm still torn between Brotherhood, Railroad and Institute.
>>78466914
>RPG mechanics butchered or removed (skills, traits, perks, SPECIAL etc.)
Original SPECIAL was kinda crappy. It had stagnating stats, usually redundant to skills, overwhelmingly generic perks, skills that are borderline useless (Last one was fixed with Fallout 3 bringing in locks and terminals in large numbers though).
Now you actually have to choose what are you going to invest yourself into.
>>78466932
>skills that are borderline useless (Last one was fixed with Fallout 3 bringing in locks and terminals in large numbers though).
Are you implying that lock pick or science were useless in 1 and 2?
There were definitely enough quests where those skills and repair gave alternative solutions, to the point where they were I'd consider them among the most useful skills.
>>78466919
I feel it weird that people bring up these big conflicts between big groups of people when talking about moral choices, when always the true situation of moral choices are small, personal and human.
>>78466990
I said borderline. I'm pretty sure instances were countable on one hand. Although powerful, don't you think it's odd to have skills that are useless outside collecting a couple of big boons?
>>78467012
Not really. In retrospect the games weren't that huge after all. Especially the first one.
Sure there could be random locked closed full of loot everywhere, but in a game where it's trivial to get enough loot to a point where you can't carry more and no store has enough money to buy stuff from you, does it need more loot caches?
>>78466932
Despite it's flaws, the old SPECIAL system was infinitely superior.
It organically created characters with flaws and strengths.
Now it's a straight upgrade path with absolutely no thought involved.
People talk about constantly needing to streamline, but the skill/special system DIDN'T need to change. Yes, some of the skills were useless but they were largely fixed via the mergers made in 3 and New Vegas.
