Fallout Equestria: Stable City (Open, OOC)

[Paginista]

My Favourite is Fallout 3 for the most part, I've tried my hardest to read every terminal, explore every location, and complete as many quests as I could. A close contender would be Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. (It's the one revolving around the Midwestern Brotherhood in Chicago.)

Though generally I love all Fallout games, (yes, even Shelter.)

I contemplated purchasing Fallout Tactics when it was on sale a while back, but I refrained from doing so, since I heard it was a very linear game, especially when compared to some of the others in the Fallout series. I'm sure the game is fun to some extent, but I like being able to choose what I do, choose who I support, choose what kind of a person my character is; being forced to fight for the Brotherhood, being forced to fight certain people, doesn't really sound like something I'd enjoy, especially since I don't really like the Brotherhood of Steel. Even if the gameplay is fun, I don't want my Fallout experience to be linear, forcing me to go down a predetermined set of missions and stories; at least in Fallout 3 the only quest where you were forced to take a certain approach was the main story, where you were forced to help the Brotherhood fight the Enclave, leaving you free to enslave, pillage, and murder to your hearts content in all the other places.

Also they butchered the canon. They butchered it

It's much more of a story about expansion, about the newly founded Midwestern chapter conquering by force any population area, and conscripting as many able bodies to join their ranks as possible. As far as Fallout 3, you are able to help the Enclave, and tamper with the water controls, killing all mutants, and people who are not pure human. Unfortunately it's not canonical. That's why it might be best if Vegas is never looked upon again, otherwise one of the endings will have to be picked, and it will probably be the lame mainstream choice of the majority, even though they were given faults just like the Legion. But they had to make the Legion the ultra mean old bad guys, doing bad things just because they're written as bad.

Well it's still considered semi-canon by Bethesda.

Which is why I probably wouldn't enjoy it; I like options, being able to choose who to support, instead of being forced to help one faction in particular. I mean, I'm a fucking psychopath in the Fallout games, and I'd probably kill absolutely everyone if I could, but having the option to go down one story path as opposed to another is still a very nice feature in any game.

Anyway, in Fallout 3, yes, you have the option to poison the water supply for President Eden, but the Enclave remains hostile to you, because of bullshit, and you never really get to become a part of the Enclave. You still have to become part of the Brotherhood, and help them drive the Enclave out of the Capitol Wasteland. There's a lot of aspects in Fallout 3 that you have control over, like becoming a slaver and selling children into slavery, or blowing up entire cities with nuclear weapons, but in the main story, you don't really have very many choices; you only get a choice at the very end of the main story (not counting Broken Steel), and basically all it does is impact your karma and change some dialog and other various things in the Broken Steel expansion.

But, yes, you are right; the Mojave probably shouldn't be explored in any future Fallout games. And, you know, speaking of New Vegas, I really don't like how the NCR are supposed to be viewed as the good guys. They use military force to annex new lands into their empire, they essentially commit genocide against the mutants, they're more corrupt than Italy, they have no qualms about suppressing their political opposition, and, at the end of the day, they don't care about the people, all they care about is money and resources. The NCR are greedy, corrupt assholes who use violence to take what they want; they're terrible people with terrible ambitions. The NCR are the bad guys, if you ask me; at least the Legion is trying to rebuild civilization, even if that does entail a lot of slavery and mass murder. Mister House, really, is the best choice for the Mojave, in my opinion.

Thank you so damn much for sharing my opinion that Mr. House is the best choice for Vegas! It seems like an opinion scarcely shared. Everyone always wants to help the NCR, because of shallow reasons. I do hold high hopes for Fallout 4 though, I think Bethesda has learned to stop painting things as either the quintessential good, or bad guys. In Skyrim you had a choice to fully cooperate and fight with both main factions, and hear conflicting opinions of both sides, allowing you as the player to make your own decision on who you help.

Well, I have seen Ulfric and his Stormcloak buddies for the assholes they truly are during the Forsworn quest. That and Windhelm. So, obviously I'd go with the Empire as much as I hate the Thalmer.

Also, I actually began to dislike OOCly the NCR when I did the Kings' quest.

Maybe you should play like me then, hate everyone, kill everyone, steal everyone's stuff and become the king of the world! Because everyone else is dead!

That's how I play in New Vegas!

Though, I dislike how in Fallout: NV everyone is oblivious to dead corpses and people in front of them that I sneak kill.

Sneak kill? Who the hell sneak kills? Just walk up to them and shove a power fist in their skull!

I tried sneaking once. It was in Skyrim. Suddenly I was butchering children in Riften's Orphanage with a Daedric Greatsword.
Me and sneaking don't mix.

Bah, bows are boring. I like to see the white of their eyes when I kill them. I'm glad there's first person.

Also, I actually began to dislike OOCly the NCR when I did the Kings' quest.

I started to not like the NCR almost as soon as I began playing the game, when I talked to Major Knight at the Mojave Outpost and he told me that the NCR frowned upon homosexuality. I then proceeded to join the Legion and drive the NCR out of the Mojave. Well, actually, I did a few quests for the Legion before joining up with Yes Man and conquering the Mojave for myself, but close enough. The fact that the NCR actively kills mutants and ghouls only solidified my opposition towards them, not that I ever really cared for them to begin with.

Of course, while Mister House is a great man capable of great things, one of my favorite factions in Fallout is actually Unity, the Master's army. While the mutants were supposed to be the bad guys in Fallout 1, I actually kinda sympathized with their cause; after all, the Master didn't want to cause destruction, he wanted to make the wasteland a better place. Granted, maybe not everyone will see the prospect of turning people into mutants as effecting things in a positive way, but I do believe that if the Vault Dweller had joined Unity, accepting the Master's offer, as opposed to destroying them, that the negative side effects of the FEV (draining intelligence, most notably, along with sterility and other issues) would have eventually been fixed through research, and the wasteland would have been left with much better residents, with both better physical attributes and more intelligence, people's differences forcibly resolved. Things in the wasteland would have been better, without any raiders, without any infighting, without any wars, just Unity; the Master's plan could have and would have worked, I believe, if it weren't for the Vault Dweller's intervention against him.

I doubt this is a sentiment which most people share, but I actually do think that Unity was among the best choices for the wasteland as a whole.

I like being the sneaky type in Bethesda games...

And I like being a fucking psychopath. Hell, you should have seen how I played Fallout 3; I nuked an entire fucking city, I sold tons of people into slavery, I launched a nuclear missile at the Brotherhood of Steel's headquarters, I poisoned the wasteland's water supply and committed mass murder, I really was a fucking psychopath in Fallout 3.

Bah, bows are boring. I like to see the white of their eyes when I kill them. I'm glad there's first person.

Let's maybe keep the topic on Fallout, why don't we?

To each his own taste, I guess.

And in New Vegas among my activities is wiping out the Xenophobic Boomers after they allowed me into their land. All of them. Even the children.

I go strictly Wild Card. Every time.

[Fascist Russian Empire]

I go strictly Wild Card. Every time.

Working with the other factions has its bonuses, though. For example, if you work with Caesar, and you get enough reputation with the Legion, you gain access to the Legion safehouse, where its maintainer will give you a basically endless supply of stealth boys, and Mister House will give you thousands and thousands of caps if you can bring him snow globes. Working with Yes Man doesn't really offer any bonuses, though it is nice for roleplaying and whatnot, if you, like me, like to roleplay as a psychopath conquering the Mojave and enslaving every man, woman, and child inhabiting it.

[Doom Legions]

I tried helping Mister House once, then he told me to go kill the Brotherhood of Steel, so I went straight down to House and Chainsawed him.
I ain't gonna kill my main source of Energy Weapons and Power Armour, I need that stuff to be an asshole.

Ironically enough, you do have to kiss NCR ass long enough to get to "For the Republic, Part 2" so you can get the Brotherhood to help you as a Wildcard (even though I was already idolized by them and a Paladin). Also, ironically enough, I was either idolized or accepted by every faction in the wasteland by the end of my last Wildcard run, aside from the Powder Gangers and Caesar's Legion of Degenarates

You wanna know how to get some real power armor? Go get Arcade Gannon as a companion, and he'll hook you up with some Enclave power armor, the best armor in the game. Once you've completed his companion quest, the Brotherhood ain't got shit on you.

Good point.
Then again, I already downloaded a Space Marine Power Armour mod, so I'm walking around in Tactical Dreadnaught (Terminator) Armour. Damn Powder Gangers never stood a chance.

Alright, so far for my character I have the alicorn mutant gone wrong and retained his male biological gender (SO HORRIFYING) and thus had/has a weaker connection to Goddess lady. Then I'm trying to figure out where he went after that....maybe he became a slave?

Whatever floats your fancy.

I kinda doubt that an alicorn would be weak enough to be captured by primitive slavers, or that the racist pony communities would even want an alicorn slave, but, if you can write up a good enough backstory, anything's fine.

[The Flutterlands]

I've been doing the Great Khans' quest, particularly 'Ah Papa' and I've seen what the NCR truly is after listening to Papa Khan's story.
