ITT: Social taboos that persist well into wasteland times even with the collapse of established religions and norms.
Being a filthy ghoul.
>>25883952
>oh god oh god, her snatch is all crusty and flaky
>oh jesus it looks like a fucking rasin
>>25884069
Alternatively it's slimy and gangrenous and smells like a beached whale.
Also, maggots.
Ghouls are gross Kalemon what is wrong with you.
>>25883952
>>25884069
>>25884096
Yay for ghoul mares!
>>25884096

>not wanting peralubed for better penetration
I bet you could tickle her tonsils from her tail.
>>25884206
Two words, anon: Vaginal prolapse.
If that doesn't deter you than holy hell you're one sick bastard.
>>25883864
Nopony likes cannibalism, especially ponies who pretend being to be civilized wastelanders.
>>25884497
So what you're saying is, only a few actually have issue with it, and try to represent it as some huge issue? Like Catholics and birth control or US Republicans and single mothers?
Frankly Pip makes for a great Catholic Republican. Gun happy, very religious, wants to tear down society and actually hates the guy who followed Rand...
>>25883952
I dunno, maybe if you find a working radiator in the wasteland, it may not be so bad...
>>25884592
<Sarcastic
Please.
The Brotherhood of Steel wishes you a Merry Christmas.
Ad Victoriam.
>>25884818
I'm guessing you couldn't find right arm heavy combat armor?
Turns out heavy metal is best physical, and synth heavy is best energy.
Heavy synth is best all around as well.
Of course it matters much less with two mk5 ballistic weave clothes.
>>25884859
Every piece but the right arm, yes.
The day I go full Synth is the day I renounce my vows to the Brotherhood and eat my own balls.
>>25884859
No kidding. Ballistic weave mk5 army fatigues and newsboy cap are my faves, allows for shittty armor bits with focus on the legendary effects.
>>25884859
>>25884870
I can't find the right fucking arm ANYWHERE. Two characters now and I'm missing everything but the right fucking arm.
>>25884988
Oh, oh.
I will being you something to master bait to soon.
>>25884543
>catholic
>wants to tear down society
>>25885067
You never been there to see that great struggle against tyranny, the Troubles? Great big terrorist war goining on for over half a century?
>>25885082
You said >cathlic Republican, which makes me assume you were talkign about the american repbulic party, whoch assumes catholics are somehow bad for America.
Now you pick a conflict a ocean away.
oh yeah also
>Republicans
>bad

>gunhappy

>>25885130
I support Karl marx, he wants all the working class to have guns and never give them up.
Lenin is the fucking asshole that wanted them to be all liberal and give up the bullets to the elite.
Dumb ass he was.
>>25884859
>>25884871
where do you get these balistic clothes? is it something more end game?
>>25885333
Work with the railroad, and you'll get two missions from PAM. After the second one, talk to Tinker Tom and he'll mention them. At that point you can buy them from him or make them.
>>25885168
Bet you she's sitting on a prostrate warmer bulb.
>>25885377
>she
>prostate
anon pls
>>25885375
>Work with the Railroad
Absolutely not!
>>25885389
b-but ballistic whiffs!
>>25885389
Then suck on some chrome nuts BOS bitch. Ya ain't getting the weave if you can't help the synth squeeze.
>>25885404
Hue, you don't have to side Railroad to get the weave. You can quest for them long enough to get it and then tell them to fuck off.
>>25885389
also I don't think you progress that far down the Rile Rude questline so you can still off 'em for the Brotherhood I guess.Go Minutemen!
>>25885389
>I still need a helmet
So I'm allowed on the Prydwen and whatnot, and I've unlocked the castle and Old Guns. Is there a certain amount of missions one can do for the main factions before you get locked into one?
>>25885572I believe Brotherhood starts wanting you to kill the other factions, starting with the Relrot right after you do Danse's personal quest
Railroad, not sure.
Institute, after Battle of Bunker HillsMinutemen don't really initiate combat on other factions without you pissing said other factions off enough to bar you from their questlines first.
Hell, do the Minutemen ever attack the Railroad even under those conditions?
Merry Christmas /FOE/

>implying the hate towards the homosexuals comes from religions and norms
OP, plz don't trust what people tell you or what the government say, before speaking things like that, try to see things from a different perspective, always works with me when someone tell lies on the television.like, do you believe that the US navy threw osama bin laden on the sea?, if you prefer to agree with whatever people tell you, you will go nowhere with your ideologies or opinions.
>>25885572There's actually a "Minutemen" ending to the game where neither the BoS or Railroad die with the Institute, but it requires very specific conditions, such as starting, but not completing Maxson's first quest, doing all Railroad quests, but assaulting the Institute with the Minutemen instead, BEFORE taking the Castle.I saw the ending and it has the BoS recognizing the Minutemen as having claim to the Commonwealth and backing off, while the Railroad seeks to have them as allies. Pretty neat.
>>25886407
well I already took the castle so I think I'm fucked.
>>25886407
....
oops.
But that's really damn neat!
>>25885733
Now that's a good christmas gift!
>>25886311
True, just ignore the ITT, in exactly 10 posts no one will care about what OP posted and everyone will start to flame the fetish anon.
>>25885733
That fic is top kek!, i'm going to save it on my phone... for science!
Good night, thread!

Thanks, glad you liked it.
So would wastelanders feel shame from being naked? Usually it seems most wasteland pones try to wear as much clothing/armor as possible to protect themselves. Being caught out in the middle of a firefight or being mauled by a mutant naked would pretty much ensure your death. Not to mention exposure to the harsh elements as the weather is unpredictable and not controlled to be tolerable like in pre-war equestria.
So being naked could have a connotation of 'weakness' or vulnerability. If you come across a wastelander who has no clothing you feel pity for them, and then that slowly turns into a social shame.
With that in mind, I imagine any character that came from pre-war (like the ever popular cryo freeze) have an incident where they run around nude/minimal clothing in a settlement and everyone begins looking at them funny.Would the townsfolk think they were whores and this lead to some awkward shenanigans?
>>25885733
But Sanguine is a canterlot ghoul. This isn't really proper Horizons clop.

This is a perfectly acceptable way to treat a mare one never met before.
Screw the taboos!
>>25890610
That's a nice headcanon, anon. I don't think being naked would be taboo, but it does seem like naked ponies would be treated like second class citizens in some settlements.
Slaves likely wouldn't have clothes, unless they're better off. Or if they're Murky and they can hide from others or have friends that will protect them.
Speaking of nudity, how do the no pants ponies deal with their genitals on display or shit stained assholes?
>>25884870
>>25884874
You can buy both arms in vault 81.
>>25891921
The same way they deal with it in the show, anon.

>>25891921
On full display with pride and an open invitation to gaze and touch
>>25892007
That could be entertaining to see crowds gathered touching and licking as they went around.
I just want to say im sorry for all the drama I've caused while being depressed and I am going to try and fix it and make up for it. From now on there will be no more depressive bitching from me, only dorble pones.
>>25892316
omg neuro what if his name is voit
that's so insensitive and rude
>>25892316
You've had issues?
>>25892316
Neuro pls, there has been no drama.
>>25892504
Anon, every time Neuro has quit drawing it's been because of depression.
>>25892537
Ooohhh
I thought he had been rage shotposting stuff like Spitfire is waifu material or Pip isnt lesbian.
>>25892504
>>25892515
what >>25892537 said, everytime i get depressed and "quit" art i come and bitch on here. But from now on there will only be happy pones and no more drama
>>25892559
If a pone decided to leave presents in every wasteland home they could on Hearth's Warming Eve, how long would it take for them to get shot as a home invader?
>>25892007
I want to put a hoof way up her ponut and spin it around.
>>25893924
Nah, you should push your whole body up in there and then clop her off. When she clenches hard midorgasm your screams will make her fart blood and green fur in a small cloud.
That'd be much nicer.
Well, as a late Boxing Day present, have a very short story.
It's the story of how the leadership changed in Old Appleoosa just before the main story got there.

>Recognizing them having claim
>Not roasting those filthy savages for defiling perfectly good laser rifles
Elder Maxson should get it together.
>>25886407
>BEFORE taking the Castle
Incorrect, but good guess friend
Roll with the Railroad until you get to the Undercover quest in the Institute. Continue with the Institute until you get the quest to go to Mass Fusion. Alert the BoS and ride with them instead.
Once you do that quest, talk to the Railroad about breaking your cover, and they'll suggest attacking the Institute with the Minutemen.
Hope this helps guys
>>25894593
Should add that you can do as much for the Minutemen as you'd like. I ended up doing the Artillery quests too
With the BoS, don't talk to them on the Prydwen until you get to the Undercover bit with the Railroad (can be with Danse and his team as much as you'd like)
If the BoS ask you to start getting Prime online, back away and go back to the Institute until Mass Fusion
I want Gardner to have hot sweaty ball slapping sex with lots anal spooge on Protoge and break him into a little anal sub to gift Glimmerlight and Murky.

>Supporting communism

And yet, I don't.
Which is good because it means I get to have an arsenal bigger than you lot.
>>25894472
Nice story anon. I mean, it wasn't "nice," it was brutal, but it was written well. I liked the descriptions, you really showed that alicorn to be the extreme bitch that she was when Littlepip encountered her.
bumpity bamp
So wha sort of fic would you guys like to see next since >>25885733
went over well?
>>25896179
How about the day to day casual raider shenanigans? Maybe raiders doing Christmas in their own way.
>Manehattan got cold again.
>Or maybe it just felt colder than it really was because you weren't moving around.
>Or maybe it was the wind.
>You weren't sure.
>Nothing had happened since Quick Cap left to deliver the Followers' message. You were put on watch duty for the refugee camp, and Sunfall was sent off on a recon patrol with a few other pegasi.
>After only fifteen minutes, you decided that you did not like watch duty.
>All you were meant to do was sit there and look around in search of griffons. Nothing happened. Ever.
>There was one time when you thought you saw one and started yelling, but it turned out to be one of the camp's many Talon guards.
>After the incident, you thought you overheard one of your fellow watchponies, a pegasus, insult your earth pony intelligence.
>So now you were bored /and/ frustrated.
>You needed to distract yourself.
>In your years of being alone, frustrated and bored every single day, back before you met any ponies from the sky, you learned that daydreaming was by far the best form of distraction.
>As long as it didn't get too... imaginative.
>You stared at the melting snow before you, a blank canvas that stretched on for yards, and zoned out.

>>25896179
What about the old fast-food idea?
So what would happen if cockatrices showed up more regularly and stoned more ponies, particularly main characters?
Would the authors have the cajones to leave the characters petrified and the cockatrice killed midbattle?
How would stories change if cockatrices randomly swarmed in them?
>>25896849
Would this be a "Stoned pony depetrified 200 years later" theme? Could you imagine if the Ministry of Arcane Sciences deliberately used cockatrices as a sort of suspended animation?
>>25896920
The issue was that if the stoning cockatrice died, you couldn't undo a stoned creature.
>>25896920
Rock erodes over time, though. If they weren't stored inside they'd be subject to damage from the elements.
>>25896941
When was that cannon to the show?
>>25896955
Its in the fic as what happened to Angel Bunny.
>>25896951
Yes, but if the M.A.S. Was conducting experiments, the stoned ponies would have been stored.
Here's a thing I've always wondered. Would ponies have farriers? Or do pones just not have horseshoes in MLP? Royalty and formalwear excluded, of course.
>>25896964
Ah. Damn.
>>25897001
Horshoes would likely be a military/wealthy faction thing. Still, there would be a need for fariers to trim, carve and clean out hooves, especially as earth-ponies and pegasai lack the telekinesis to do the job on themselves.
>>25897031
See I've always thought about doing something with a farrier, like for a one-off joke or something, but I never did because I didn't want to deal with all sorts of:
OH MY GAWD WHY WOULD COLORFUL TALKING HORSES NEED FARRIERS THEY'RE SMART ENOUGH TO DO IT THEMSELVES

"Pew pew pew!"
>Another barrage of plastic missiles flew from the Steel Ranger's battlesaddle, impacting the Evil Dragon atop his mountain of sand.
>It had been a long battle, but it was finally starting to look like there was hope for the Steel Ranger as the Evil Dragon cried out in pain and rage.
"RAAARRHGG!"
>In a hurry, you picked up the plastic missiles with your teeth and reloaded the Steel Ranger's weapon.
"Pew pew pew!"
>Another set of perfect hits!
>With another roar, the Evil Dragon fell back, tumbling down the mountain and sending sand all over. It came to rest at the bottom, its body half buried in the soil.
>It was all over, the Evil Dragon was slain.
>The Steel Ranger walked up to the top of the sand mountain then down the other side, toward the Evil Dragon's resting place.
>As he approached, he gasped as he noticed his nemesis was getting back up!
>How can this be?!
"Ahahaha, you think you can defeat me?" the Evil Dragon chuckled. "You can't kill me. Not with my cybernetic enhancements and my resurrection talismans! I'm invincible!"
>The Steel Ranger gasped. It was really convenient that he had a sword that was forged with metal from a distant star that could cut through anything. Even magical resurrection talismans.
>He drew his sword with his mind magic, which he had because he was a special earth pony-unicorn hybrid.
"I will cast you back down to hell, vile fiend!"
>The Steel Ranger spread his talisman-encrusted metal wings and flew at the Evil---
>"Forage, time for dinner!"
>Your ears perked up at your mother's call.
>You looked down at your toys. You'd just have to finish up the battle later.
>You weren't sure when you'd finish it, though. It had been going on for days now.
>You picked up the dragon and the Steel Ranger action figure and headed inside.
>The smell of whatever mom had made for dinner made you pick up the pace. You trotted into the kitchen and found that only two places were set at the table.

>>25897073
would they be like tampons? Necessary but you don't want to get caught buying them...
>>25897111
I think condoms might be a better analogy for that one, anon. It's pretty much universally accepted that women need tampons, and if it's a dude buying them it doesn't take a genius to know he's doing his wife or a good friend a solid.
>>25896535
Daydreaming?!
Hey! We need to protect the pretty Enclave birdies as they have their giggly, all-mare pillow fights on clouds (aka CQC training) and tea parties!
>>25897073
People can trim their own hair, but it rarely looks good, which is why we have others do it. Pones could injure themselves badly trying to trim carve their own hooves with a mouth-held object. So, logically, unless you're a unicorn, it is better to have someone else do it, and even better if it is a professional.
>>25897107
>You hopped up into your chair and found a plate of microwaveable mashed potatoes before you.
>You smiled. Mashed potatoes were your favorite. All prewar food was, but mom didn't like to make it very often. She said it was unhealthy.
>Mom sat down at the table next to you, her plate loaded up with mashed potatoes as well.
>"Did you have a fun time outside, Forage?"
"Yes mom," you said before taking a bite of food.
>You chewed and looked around the room.
"Where's dad?"
>"Your father's out hunting."
"Again?"
>"Yes, again."
"When is he going to take me with him? He said he would soon."
>Mom sighed and gave me one of her looks.
>"When you're older. It's not as fun as you think it is, hun. Most of the time you just wait around."
"But he said he'd take me /soon/."
>"And I'm saying he'll take you when you're older."
>You considered arguing, but kept your disagreements to yourself. By now you'd learned not to argue with mom. It was futile.
>But you still didn't understand why she had to ruin everything.
* * *
>Slight movement off to your right pulled you away from your daydreaming.
>You weren't sure what it was; it was too dark.
>You doubted that it was even real.
>Your muscles tensed up, and you looked right to left for anypony else nearby that could help. The only other pony on watch was within shouting distance, that pegasus mare from the meeting, Dew Point.
What do/say?
A) Alarm!
B) Go investigate what you saw.
C) Wait.
D) Other.
>>25897001
Think of it like a salon job here in the real world. Anyone can cut their own nails, but if you want a good manicure or pedicure, you go to a professional.
We already know hooficures are things that exist in the MLP universe, specially in show. So there's no reason to think a pony couldn't have eeked a life out with that specialty skill.Hell, I wrote a scene about that sort of thing in Treasure Hunting, with Amble getting her hooves done up by one of her slaves.
>>25897627
We should alert her that we're gonna check something.
So I have a story in mind and I want to kill my protagonist.
What kind of context to their death would be most moving or garner the strongest reaction?
No edgy bullshit, give me something serious and with meaning.
>>25899634
He took the shortcut to Equestria
Should make it relatable
>>25896154
Thanks. Got to admit, it's very heavily based on something I read a while back.
Birdmaid bump
So are people just really this autistic or what.
>>25900863
>pipbuck on wrong limb
Haha.
Oh wait.
There isnt another.
>>25900863
Nah, a fan of Pip just figured out that she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed and is impersonating Homage while she is drunk in hopes of getting some fuck.
So far it seems successful, she hasn't released it's actually just a girly colt in drag. Or that he has no horn.Sadly what he doesn't know is that tonight Homage made Pip take the Alicorn Genderbend potion since she wanted to try something new in the bed room.
>>25900902
For real?
>>25900902
So wait is that Pip wants Homage with a dick, the stallion is going to be a mare tonight, or the stallion is going to be experiencing high impact sexual violence and a zebra rifle up the ass as a dildo?
Ooh, maybe dick sounding using pip's horn.
I have this fascinating image right now of all these suitors trying to fake being the bluefake only for Pip to know, and fuck with everyone, all who go back telling their tale only to not be beleived because another one speaks different.
Then, at the end, Pip goes to the shower and washes the dyes out of her white fur and red and black mane. The real Pip is in a storage closet, ears plugged with silicone, holes plugged and teased, a heavy blinder and manacles making sure the latex stable suit stays in place.
Blackjack never passed Homage in 2 centuries for one reason, the foreplay wasn't over.
>>25900949
Nah, Homage wanted Pip to fuck her with the horsecock. She wanted to have Pip for once to be the dom in the bed room. Her poor unsuspecting victim has no idea what is in store for him when he walks into that bed room. Especially since Pip decided to try and compensate for her hair trigger orgasms by also getting a potion that quadrupled cum output.
The poor Colt will be feeling sticky for days, walk funny for weeks, and question his sexuality for months

The real question: are pegasi born to be maide or does it just happen to be their ideal role in life?
>>25896179
Topaz the dragon vores Calamity and wins the battle. Disposal prefferable.
>>25901363
It's a way of life, anon.
>>25901377
Are pegamaids the only hope for a tidy wasteland?
The answer is yes.
>>25901368
Ooh, a deliscious reality ensues. Can you have hard digestion and Calamity breaking apart?
>>25899634
Drawn out and suffering.
Not edgy like breaking limbs, but the almost of victory. Each step closer to death was almost prevented.
Perhaps have them keep saving others, the classic dead in a burning building.
Little things like pathetic whine as he tried to pull himself out from under the beam.
You people are savages, it's no wonder the thread is hemorrhaging people that don't suck.
>>25902106
I used to be optimistic about this place but I just can't do it anymore. This subfandom and this thread both suck. I don't know why I continue to write.
>>25902106
Its because some people get pleasure shitting here up, and they 're attracted from PH. Leave, quit, whatever.
Let them win.
>>25902498
I've stayed here this long, I'm not going anywhere.
Doesn't mean I have to like the shit that goes on in here though.
>>25902544
Hey, at least we don't have hardvore or fetish anon on right now.
Been trying to brainstorm what concepts (namely settlements and locations) to draw from Fallout 4 and translate to Equestrian form. But instead of going the easy route and carbon pasting locations like Sanctuary Hills, The Castle or Diamond City, I thought it would be creative to revitalize fallen/derelict locations into eccentric towns.
ie. The Forest Grove Marsh, which I can twist into the inhabiting ponies being with the values ladders and platforms to travel from building to building across their flooded town to make it harder for raiders to attack.
Interpreting how Lexington existed before raiders sacked it.
And other places like The General Atomics Galleria or Parsons State Asylum but with a different twist to their quests instead of how it was depicted in the games.
Any pointers how to ponify the location names?
>>25903007
Fallout 4 is shit. If you borrow anything from it your story will be shit.
>>25903029
You're shit and you have shit taste.
Go dick ride Obsidian more.
You shit.
>>25903040
Nice try Toddcuck. Even 3 is superior to4. In fact playing 4 has made me appreciate 3 more than I used to and be greatful that 3 was the game that rebooted the franchise instead of Mass Effect: Borderlands Edition.
Even if you like playing a shitty open world Destiny clone, we can all agree the lore/writing/plot/dialogue/anything that is not shooting things is complete dog shit and any story that tries to borrow from such bland and lifeless ideas will be as bad, if not worse, than 4.
>>25903100
Todd's a faggot and NV is garbage. It's one of the most boring pieces of shit I've ever played. I had more fun playing 1 and 2 like a decade after they came out than I did NV on release.
>>25896179
Something shooty?
I'm curious to see what you could as a militant American.
>>25903029
Okay. I'll be level headed and think on the possibility of my story being bad on account of that.
It's just that, people have argued that NV is superior to FO3 because of the branching faction choices tailoring to your preference instead of the constricted Bad/Good conclusion of Project Purity...and the Pre-Broken Steel ending.
If anything though, my settings are primarily drawn from FO1 and 2: places like The Hub, Klamath, Ghost Farm, Vault City. But with a few materials from FO4. I just thought it be a good idea to make a possible sidefic a composite of all titles of going the dark route of all the NV carbon sidefic plots in the past.
>>25903157
When did I ever say anything about my opinion on NV? Pay attention boy. I know you don't have any defence for 4 so you go for the strawman, but at least try for once. NV is also boring as fuck but at the very least it's an actual fucking RPG where I could roleplay, and somewhat resembles what Fallout is even about. Not only does 4 have no RPG to speak of, it even gets all the basic themes of fallout completely wrong. 4 is basically the game NMA tried to say 3 was in terms of how horribly it shits on the franchise.
Nothing Interplay pushed out of their shitter to save their dying company can even compared so don't even try to argue that. Tactics? Brotherhood of Steel? Fallout Extreme? All of that seems tame compared to the horrible rape and shame 4 has brought onto the franchise, because 4 has now set the standard that new Fallout games will be. Shitty Destiny-esque Borderlands games. And even though it shat the bed critically, and lost the prestigious GOTY title, it still sold well enough for Bethesda to think that this is the type of game Fallout needs to be from now on. It will only go downhill from here.
>>25903270
^instead of going the dark route...
But alright, to whomever it was that has transgressions with FO4, suggest how you would have made it not trash in your perception.
>>25903285
I know F4 threw RPG out the window and I really don't give a damn. The idea of trying to insert myself into a game has always made me feel like a stupid asshole.
My only complaints with the game are minor. Things like the settlement system being clunky as fuck when Beth had things like Halo's Forge to draw inspiration from and do it right. I'm also pissed at how small all the vaults in the game are as well as how few there are. Also, that vault 111 has no fucking event flag that trips once you've left, so even traveling back into it a year of game time later still has your protagonist saying "I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE" when you try to sleep in a bed.
Also whatever the fucking trigger is for spawning leveled power armor. I stayed away from one particular area until I was level 50 and fucking T-45 spawned where I'd gotten T-60 on the previous playthrough.
Fusion cores shouldn't exist, or should be limited in supply and have an infinite charge. The T-51's power supply is supposed to last for I think a millennium? If you need to restrict use of power armor in a series where it's never been necessary before, you either need to balance it or make it scarce.
I couldn't care less that I can't pretend to be John Q Everyman wandering the wasteland.
>>25903183
Didn't he have some wip griffon story he posted a while back for Tofu? Did he ever finish that?
>>25903341
Well first and formost: don't waste money and time on voicing the main character and using that as an excuse to dumb down the dialogue system to 'Yes, No, 'Sarcasm' AKA Yes 2, Yes 3' and occasionally 'Question'. I have no idea why they thought anyone would give a shit about being able to hear some
>>25903384
Who says you need to self-insert yourself? I just want to be able to play someone who isn't some boring guy who says 'muh son' or 'muh wife' all the time. It doesn't help that almost all quests are shit in 4 and there is nothing to really do but shoot things and then play a shitty RTS mini-game that has less features than the Mods it stole from.
And if you didn't care about RPG elements, how did you ever get into fallout? Or hell, FoE for that matter. Kkat wrote a bunch of fucking Fallout 3 roleplay stories before, and that was the inspiration for FoE initially, hell the first few chapters pretty much read like one. If you don't give a shit about roleplaying or world building, lore, characters, or anything Fallout usually is known for, you can't really say you like FoE because FoE is more or less a glorification of those elements.
>>25903485
I didn't say I didn't care for RPG elements period. It just doesn't bother me that they're gone.
If I'm perfectly honest, I do miss one skill, but only one. Speech. Coin toss speech checks with maxed CHA are completely retarded.
>>25903560
Well, what made up for it then? What did 4 do so well that you are willing to still suck Todd's dick over his failure of a game? The combat is leagues better than 3 and NV yeah, but that isn't saying that much. It's still not that good. The gun 'customization' may be expansive, but there really isn't that much choice, just a bunch of straight upgrades more or less and in the end the system is literally the Skyrim Smithing/Enchanting system just carries over to guns. The 'Legendary' weapon system really confirms this. Exploration is not as good as 3 and the environmental storytelling 3 and a bit of NV had is all but gone. The Settlement system is basic as fuck and makes the NV and 3 mods look like masterpieces of game design.
If you mean 'muh Specialz system' then even that failed. I was totally on board with a new, improved, leveling system. The old system is frankly a broken unbalanced shit show, but unfortunately it just sucks way too much to even be remotely an improvement. I thought it would force your characters to become even more specialized than before, but now I see it's done the exact opposite and you become a jack of all trades easily. In fact the system encourages you to branch out a fuckload because of the arbitrary level caps on perk ranks being so massive. None of the new Perks are really that interesting or fun to play with and most of them are just boring 'do more damage/get betterer at thing' type of shit.
The game is well paced, but it means that you never feel stronger really until you suddenly break the game and everything becomes too easy too quick. And then all you're left with is the shallow and boring Quests and all the aborted RPG features. I have no idea why anyone would play this game after the 10-20 hour mark.
>>25903769
I enjoy the fact that it doesn't take place in a fucking desert, for one. A big part of why I preferred 3 to NV was because the DC metro area was bigger than the pathetic excuse for an urban location The Strip was. It was all of what, two areas+Freeside? Tiny.
Also I like that it's centered on a city with a rich history instead of a stupid gimmick like the gambling capital of the world.
All of that, plus the huge amount of callbacks to F3, the improved combat system and even the settlement system, as clunky as it is, are what I enjoy about this game.
Yes it has its problems, but it doesn't trigger me to come into the thread and start shitposting to ruin others' enjoyment because it didn't conform to my ideals of the perfect game.
>>25903341
>>25903270
>>25903007
So looking at these images reminded me of all the cool little nooks and crannies that you can find in the game. A campfire here, a sleeping bag there, like one or two random people once camped out somewhere in the middle of buttfuck now where.
Does anyone else ever see these little implied locations and thinks "man, if I had some characters camping out in the wasteland, I would find them a place like this to bunker down in for a night" ?
I'm tossing it up between an abandoned apartment, a shack in the middle of the woods, and the equivalent of a truck trailer.
>>25904710
I do love the Commonwealth just because it does feel a lot more 'lived in' than any other inhabited wasteland. Lots of the scraps being left behind made sense because someone else was using them, or dropped them when they got jumped by scavengers.
Adds a really nice touch.
>>25896511
How would you want this to play out?
I mean I could do rape stab happy raiders dressing up the tree and having a unicorn who's horn glow so bright, guide a sleigh full of bombs that night.
>>25896593
Older than me.
>>25901368
Really?
I call a vote here if this is to be seriously considered.
>>25903183
>>25903475
I can do that.
It was abandoned due to laziness and me realizing its a bit uncouth to hand someone a chunk of material and tell them you wrote it for their story.
Also stalkerish to me.

http://prntscr.com/9j8mrzguess its time to draw lewd again
Would claiming descent from King Sombra or his empire be a decent excuse for a pony having fangs, or would lunar pegasus be a better reason?
I just find them cute as a button is all.
>>25905489
Not bad, what did you have in mind?
>>25905505
I dunno anon, both of those sound pretty snowflakey. Why can't it just be vague family dental history?
>>25905505
Just have him/her come from a family of hunter ponies. Over the years, they've developed canines to better chew meat.
>>25905710
I figure descending from King Sombra would be snowflakey, and the reality would be the lunar pegasi. So he is running around claiming to be royalty, when he is just another commoner.
>>25905779
Lamarck, your theories are a shit!
>>25897001
Something like this for the more animal attuned?
>>25906316
With the power king sombra has? he would not be "royalty" on the wasteland, but yes a everyone's worst nightmare.
>>25906409
Aw, that's cute. I'd wanted to make it a sort of equivalent to going to the dentist/hairdresser thing, where foals just have to be dragged in grumpily for an appointment.
>>25906316
Fine, then they just sharpen their teeth themselves and use potions they stole from an old dentistry to grow them out, for the sole purpose of being able to eat meat better. Happy?
>>25906612
No.
I made you upset and that makes me sad.
>>25905779
I actually kinda like this idea because it seems almost possible.
Animals became mutated due to rad/taint exposure and I think it can be safely assumed that their new forms are superior when it comes to surviving the wasteland environment.
There's also a FO4 quest for the brotherhood where a scribe talks about how mutated animals have natural radiation resistance in their blood.
So what's to say a very small, specific group of ponies who eat lots of meat can't have mutated slightly to the point of having a different dental landscape?
I wonder if ponies living in wet conditions or who swim a lot may become more naturally resistant to rads over the generations?
I have a very strange question regarding immersion in sidefics. But what are the most common places you've noticed your favorite wasteland pones rest at? Or does the author gloss over these events with "After resting,"?
Do they always seem to conveniently make it to a friendly settlement or allies home to sleep? Somehow setting up a campfire out in the open, or have they ever resorted to rest in the remains of a derelict store or residence whose occupants are now dead?
>>25907234
Well really I just wanted to have a pegasus that could flash fangs in an attempt to be threatening. The end result is its interpreted as a call for mating and the pegasus has a new companion/spouse.
>>25907435
I'm gonna be honest with you man, that sounds really autistic.
>>25907435
Yeah sorry anon, I gotta agree with >>25907450
It needs to have a practical, plausible reason for being there FIRST. I could still be convinced that such unusual teeth could be off putting in a Speech check related situation though.
It's all about the execution.
>>25907450
Thats because it is anon.
>>25907435
If you're making excuses to put things into a story, reassess why it matters to the story and why the fuck you have to dance around it. If you just keep making excuses, it's 99% probable that you're Sombering something.that means you're fucking it up.
>>25907639
So then I should just put it in and not bother with giving a reason?
Just that he has fangs and that's it?
>>25907664
If you're just putting it in because 'muh fetish' then you are no better than Somber anon
>>25907664
No. No, you idiot. He means that if you have to make dumb excuses for something in the story, then it shouldn't be in the story at all.
>>25907681
The reason is he has lunar pegasus in his family tree. I don't think that would be anymore a stretch than saying a husky unicorn had earth pony in the tree.
>>25907698
Except that they're so rare (or after the S5 finale alt timeline shows with Dash, probably not even an actual subspecies and more likely a glamour) it's 300% more autistic.
>>25907698
Both of those things throw up snowflake flags for me, anon. We're trying to help you out here. Fangs on a pony is dumb idea.
>>25907698
"What the fuck is a lunar pegasus?" said the reader with disdain, his given fucks running dry.
After several paragraphs of damage control informational dumping about genetics (which the character totally knew) and his own family tree (which the character also totally knew), the reader finally understood.
"K, he's got fangs, what the fuck ever. Snowflake factory had a cog jam or some shit."
Anon, the best way to stand out is to not stand out at all. People should grow to love your character because of their actions, not their appearance.
>>25907727
Wait they're rare?
I thought they were just another pony type from the bat pony threads.
I guess he could have just gotten a fang job because he wanted one.
>>25907740
What would you suggest then?
I like the visual appeal of the fangs.
>>25907781
>they're rare?
Are you new to pone? Like, seriously. I'm not even kidding around. The only batponies that have ever showed up in the show are Luna's guards in E4 of S2. Unless you count the ones from the alternate timeline in the S5 finale.
Yes, they're rare. And most stories have the good sense not to include them since they're a product of S2.
>>25907781
>it looks cool
Anon
Anon pls
I would suggest not having any fangs. If you want the character to stand out visually, give them a not-snowflakey accessory. Murky's got his black jerkin, Pip's got her pipbuck, Velvet has first-aid kit saddlebags, Snap Roll has her recon barding, Alloy has her sword - shit like that.
>>25907781
>I thought they were just another pony type from the bat threads
Is this b8 or has Bat Cancer really gotten that bad
>>25907829
look to these, anon. all those things listed matter to the story, or the story of the character. "Born with it" is an excuse, unless you very, VERY carefully handle racism. I'm not talking about offending anyone, fuck you, I'm talking about actually pulling it off in a believable way.
>>25907781
While I would still be turned off by the concepts, it'd have been more plausible making your MC a batpony from the getgo due to lucky recessive genes.
But trying to explain him only having fangs as a result of the genes is...as teeth gritting discomforting as when I read through "My cybernetic hooves can use fingers to wield this sword!" Or "I'm a crystal pony turned into a zebra terminator/synth" I read from other stories.
>>25907953
How do fangs belong with those abominations?
Other anons pointed out some plausible methods of dentistry or just being a batpony (which would humorously mean the wings now have little claw hands for manipulation of a sword)
>>25907993
>little claw hands for manipulation of a sword
>>25907993
>buying into the claw hands meme
Okay, so you really must be b8ing.
>>25908124
Idk anon, they could honestly be ignorant
>>25908070
>>25908124
>>25908152
Bats have claw hands, so do bat ponies.
I mean what am i missing here?
>>25908240
You're on the cusp of making the same mistake I did, and that is allowing the bias of wish fulfillment embody your character. You're stretching the bounds of what either the show or games portrayed to suit something to your characters benefit.
Ask your self why we like Mach despite him getting a prosthetic ear. Or why we swoon over Hired Gun despite her level of cybernetics and why we pan Blackjack for the same.
Hell, why was Project Flankorage consistently praised despite the MC developing fangs and we are disapproving of yours having one?
>>25908240
The problem is convenient cosmetics.
It's a real turnoff for a character.
>>25909211
With billboards like that, it's hard not to imagine raider bands forming cults worshiping her as some sort of Goddess.
>>25899634
It's all about emotion. There needs to be something more going on besides just dying. If he dies protecting someone, it can't just be some random asshole, he/she has to mean something to the protagonist. If he dies fighting for something, it has to be something important to him personally. And most of all, it should be a fitting end.
There's a certain FoE fic that I want to point at as an example, but it's impossible to do without spoiling everything. It's short, and if you've read it, you'll know what I'm talking about. When that protagonist dies, there's a lot of stuff going on emotionally, not just with the protagonist, but with the rest of the cast.
Look at other stories in which the protagonist dies, not just FoE stories, and analyze them.
>>25910430
ideas there
>>25908431
How did Flankorage get his fangs without screwing up the story?
>>25908620
Could you explain this better? I'm guessing you mean like having a coat the same color as the wasteland or being a waterbreather for a "sudden" underwater fic?
>>25912334
It sounds like you want to make your protagonist a bat pony because A: it looks cool. And B: Claw hands.
These are just excuses for cosmetic features, and poor ones at that. Additionally "hands" are a no no when it comes to horses. It ends up being used for the sake of convenience or more cool points rather than actually serving a narrative purpose.
You don't NEED a Batpony; you WANT a Batpony. This is born out of self flagellating wish-fulfillment, not a desire to write a good story.
>>25912735
I wanted fangs. Then it became use batpony, and I was pointing its a worse option due to the hands.
The only reason I mentioned bat ponies was to say one of his parents was one and thus he got fangs while being a normal pegasus otherwise.
No slit eyes, no ear tufts.
Hey guys, WEcon Chapter 12 is finally live.
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/163079
>>25912334
Flankorage happened from acontracted diseasethat, while it certainly affected the MC, it appeared to be leading to some pretty serious plot points, and was part of worldbuilding as well.
So your pegasus has fangs. Are there others like him? What role does that play in the story? Does it lead to an organic role in the story you plan to tell? In short, are there enough reasons within the story to convince the reader to think, "Okay, I see why that's had to be a thing"?
>>25913176
Yaay
Since the last story update was in November, I think it's safe to say that all spoiler text will be for WEcon. Don't go crazy looking under the black boxes without reading the chapter.
That being said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bmkVsmBeigKyra is a cute, funny bird and I hope she sticks around for a long time.I'm also glad that Alloy is still feeling the weight of her decision over Copper, and that she's realized she's been acting like a bitch to Grit for a while,
Good chapter, Ham. Keep up the good work.
>>25913176
Nice work Ham, not much going on in the chapter but still enjoyable enough to read in one sitting.
>>25913572
Thanks man, glad you liked it. I was kinda worried how people would feel aboutthe timeskip, and Kyra's return.
>>25914166
After all the shit that went down the last two chapters, I'm glad that this one is a bit shorter/slower. Alloy is pretty messed up in the noggin' so it's good that she's not being thrust back into an awful situation.
>>25913176So what do you guys think Pillar wants with Alloy?
Do you think he changed his mind about that armor and finally wants to buy it?
Bump.
>>25914185Kyra is a very catlike catbird. Lounging on top of furniture with her arm swinging.
>>25915486
What sort of stories or art interest you?
>>25915832
The kind of art that has exploding stuff.
>>25915873
Do you prefer cool guys to be averting their gaze or looking directly at the exploding stuff?
>>25915832
Well, Heroes is one of my favorite stories. I also really like Hooves of Fate and Outlaw.
Art's tougher to nail down, though. I guess I really like art of pivotal moments in stories, or deeply personal moments.
>>25915503
I'm excited for when she sees laser pointers[/spoiler] andcardboard boxes.

"You bored?" It was Stringy Thimbles. It was always Stringy Thimbles. Ever since I had gotten into the Piper Joes, he’d been after me. Couldn’t have been from being some horn headed mare, I’d seen him rutting with Pine Glass under the stars often enough whenever I got bored and decided to watch the moon go by from the top of the silo. Whatever, I’d left the Talons for this group to get some mystery, and boy howdy was he giving me one.
"Course I am, what do you have in mind?" I turned away from the broken down AK 107 I had been working on. Dreary Skies had the brilliant idea of plunging it into the ground when his wing had been shot off. Bastard had the nerve to die before I could rip his Cutie Mark off and make him eat it for bending the gas tube and barrel.
"I heard that Dark Smoke Puncher got a new unicorn, fresh out of the stable. Still innocent and gullible. Wanna fuck with her?" Oh. That’s right, there was supposed to have been a raid today. Fucking hell, I’d been waiting for one since last month. Hell, may as well at least have some fun.
"Do I even need to answer?" Oh this would be good, it was always a good thing to fuck with the Stable ponies. I was laughing now. Not so much when Stringy Thimbles slammed a clipboard into me.
“The hell is this cone head?” I started reading, it looked like some standardized form. Where’d we get a printer? Why did it have a coffee stain on it? I flipped a few more pages. Why did they all have coffee stains in the same place on them?
“Rug Road’s orders. He figure you had some good ideas when you first came in with the orders and paperwork idea. He wants forms now for everything we do. Speaking of which“ He levitated out a jumbled fluttering heap of papers and clipboards, “These are for you. He called them Rex – u – suction forms. Said you needed to fill one out for each part you needed from now on” I turned and looked at the one in my hand, then back to the pile before screaming.
Bureaucracy. Bureaucracy never leaves.
Actually, I was brainstorming this idea in my head for a little writing challenge, and might as well just drop it now for shits and giggles.
My favorite part about writing for Fallout Equestria is that you can tell basically any kind of genre story you want because the setting is so large.
So for this writing challenge, you will do just that.
Pick one or two of these genres below, and write a story for them.
The page limit is 50, or a word limit of 22500 words, use whichever you prefer.
Submit your story either to me[email protected], or just post it to the thread on January 31st, and maybe I'll arrange a drawfriend to draw a scene in your story or something.
Drama
Comedy/Humor
Crime
Horror
Mystery
Romance
Suspense
War
Period Piece
Tall Tale (think a campfire story)
Western (western themes are more important than a western setting)
Tragedy
Satire
Gothic
Supernatural
Good luck, and I hope everyone writes well. You have a full month to plan and write, so that hopefully is a much more gentle pace than the last writing contest.
Have fun with it!
>>25917017
I choose Supernatural
>>25917250
Good. I always thought it was funny how lacking most FoE stories are with their spoopy stuff. Most seem to go too Fallout, not enough Equestria and lose too much of the magic in the setting.
