I'm not super familiar with the game Fallout. Would it still be possible for me to play in this RP? I've been reading about it a little bit, but some parts a little confusing.

The essential information is that we're writing in a future of an alternate history, where basically atomics became more prevalent, up until the year 2077, even to the point that cars were powered by atomic engines.

In October 2077, the Sino-American war between the United States and China and their allies literally "blew up," as both sides began launching nuclear strikes against one another, causing grand annihilation on a global scale. Most of the world was decimated, while others survived in numerous ways, especially those in secure locations callled "vaults."

Fast forward around two-hundred years, and vault dwellers have made their way out, and the survivors of the nuclear apocalypse have begun to eke out an existence in the new, desolate world. Some groups have gathered into their own governments, some are just looking to survive on their own.

But at the end of the day, violence is a way of life, because War... War never changes.

Lol.

As a quick "up-to-speed" video on the history of Fallout, here's a pretty good one:

@Catchphrase@Legion-114

Are we looking to engage? Can we kill off Enclave soldiers, and what about the Raiders?

While Hudson isn't exactly looking for a fight, having either of the groups making their ways near his base is probably going to start a firefight. What's the general plan for this situation?

Well Zion Squad are investigating Catchphrase's gunshot when he shot himself.

Remember a big ass base as just came out of the ground, which the defense systems are offline, but with about 40 troops vs 10 or so is a pretty unfair fight in the Enclave's favour. But you haven't been spotted yet, and with their Priority focused on the base, you could easily slip away.

Sure, as long as you know the basics you should be fine... As someone wonderfully stated earlier, most of what we do is 'unlikely' to happen in the FO universe anyway :)

Well, we can't make it too easy - Better to get into some struggles and scraps - Else what's the point of bringing them together? I just need to know what we're dealing with, here:

Obviously, these are well-trained and well-equipped soldiers. And they popped some kind of building out of the ground like a gopher.

But are these guys mooks? An advance group of scouts? Are they combat veterans? Or are they newer troops? What are they armed with? Could an ex-legionnaire with five years of additional solo combat experience take on a squad of them? Or are they all at about an equal experience level as Hudson is?

If this "Zion Squad" is coming after the raiders, and the goal of Hudson is to escape, I'd like to throw him right in the middle of that kind of firefight, and for him to barely get out, possibly taking a couple of the soldiers and a few of the raiders with him. This would let him get the word to The Empire that a group is coming, and gives him a reason to investigate The Enclave further to figure out who was shooting at him.

The raiders, well, it's just what raiders do. He wouldn't really give it a second thought, and would probably not worry about the fact that they were shooting at him, other than the immediate danger.

Thoughts?

@Korbanjaro

What you are seeing is essentially all that is left in terms of physical military of the Enclave. Most of these troops are vets from AFB and RR. They have a new Winter Standard Armour, which would closely be an Advanced Leather Armour in game terms. However they are carrying signature enclave plasma weaponry, plus supported by Sentry Bots and Mister Gutsys. Should a firefight break out, the more heavier units will come an assist, however Davis is far too occupied with getting into a certain part of the structure.

In terms of a straight up battle, Hudson (Being a PC) is likely to be on par with 3 Standard Troops.

@Legion-114@Korbanjaro Oh okay. Thank you so much! As soon as I watch that video (which is not now because I'm so busy), I will finish up my CS.

My group of Raiders is mostly fodder, my guy will hightail it outta there as soon as things look bleak for him

@Lord Coake

Hey, just a thought - Would you be up for Abram and Hudson knowing one another? I mean, Abram has been up and about up here for much longer, of course, but Hudson has been operating in the BC area for at least five years - They'd probably be aware of each other, considering their lines of work.

It might be fun to make them allies, rivals, or even a mix of both, depending on the job - If they're both freelance, it makes sense that they'd have gone up against one another in the past or something.

Just a thought I had, bringing some new angles into things. I mean, raiders on one side, soldiers on the other, and then these two mercs are kind of pinned in the middle of it - Could be fun.

@KorbanjaroYeah, that works. I would think it'd be some kind of friendly rivalry, where they've often worked for both the same and opposing sides, enough to know each other WITHOUT hating each other's guts and wanting them dead.

@Lord Coake

Cool. I didn't know where Abram was concealing himself, but I assumed it was on the other side of the valley. Here's how I kind of envision the map:

WEST

SOUTH Abram - - - - Enclave Soldiers/Building - - - - Raiders - - - - Hudson NORTH

EAST

Hudson is making his way down his side of the valley on the east side, far enough away from the soldiers to hopefully go unnoticed, and he's being generally stealthy. But a trained sniper like Abram would probably notice the movement anyways.

Alright! Let's start some violence! Lol.

Sorry I'm late! I was in hospital, but I'll get a CS up soon.

@Legion-114 I thought the President was dead?

@Legion-114 I thought the President was dead?

He was, look at the file path :)

@Legion-114 oh, so your guy is an inbred rich boy taking orders from another inbred rich boy? It's like royalty in the medieval times

Umm... what? :/

The President is an AI...

@Legion-114 How is he an AI?

@CatchphrasePresident Irons in this RP is a copy of President Eden's .exe program file from Fallout 3, according to the file name in Legion's post
