Convention, anyone?

Post » Sun Jun 17, 2012 1:14 pm

The Iron Lines were a faction from Van Buren (the REAL Fallout 3) that patrolled the highways of the Old World who are based southeast of Denver in Circle Junction. They have been at war with the Viper Gang, and have been losing as of post-Van Buren.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Iron Lines patrol railroad tracks, not highways?

And yeah, if only Van Buran was released...

It had so many interesting locations and factions. I mean Burham Springs alone is one of the coolest locations in the Fallout universe (imo), and that was just supposed to be a minor area.

Dont forget the Gehennas, Moloch, Ciphers, Hecate, Boulder, etc.

Ciphers

They were going to appear in Lonesome Road, but *somebody* decided that Lonesome Road could only have one NPC.

I wonder which company that *somebody* was. :dry:

I believe the plan is to have a revolution or a break down of NCR power going on (that's the conversation I had with Gingy using PM) but it wasn't specified in the original post so I am confused...
So in other words, excellent for my Gun running business :)

I'm pretty sure it's highways.

It did unfortunately end rather quickly. People just sort of lost interest in it. Perhaps at some point we could do a reboot of it. I rather liked the East Coast factions. They all have their own charm. Your Tenpenny Tower RP was pretty damn good.

As did I. It was an interesting triangle of power between the Wasteland factions and the Enclave; really wanted to see how things played out, but I guess its a story to be told another day.

And thank you. I rather enjoyed Mr. Burke; now I just have to see if I can strike the same type of charm with a Omerta character.

Only if they didnt tried to appeal to the console gamers(the burned game).

Interplay was planning on The Burned Game #2.

The Forum-Goers are spreading rumors about the Burned Game again. :rolleyes:

Another question, Gingy; How will faction leaders and descriptions be handled? Will all players have to submit their own, or will you provide them?

I'll provide most of them. (Keep in mind it might take a little while) You aren't playing your faction's leader unless you really want to. You just need to make an alias for an Ambassador of sorts.

So Gingy I have one question, why would the New Canaanites trade along the Northern Routes? The North of Utah is--at least in my mind--100% Legion (And if not Legion then pretty dangerous based on Warlord/Raider info given to us by Jeb), or has the Legion kind of died off for the purpose of this convention? Also I have a proposed map of the New Cannanite's route that I'd like to get some feedback on,

Spoiler

Basically the dark blue line is how I'd imagine the Mormon Remnants reaching Nevada, while avoiding the Legion, the Pink is if they were to head straight towards the Zion area and curve into Nevada (the more direct way of getting to New Vegas), Purple is if they were to avoid the Legion partially and then link up into the direct route, and finally the Green is if they were to leave straight from Zion.

I am not sure exactly how the Legion is for the purpose of this convention, or how you want to Mormon Remnants to actually get to Vegas so tell me if you like any particular route. Also I based three of the four routes off of in-game info that New Canaan was built on the remains of Ogden Utah.

EDIT: Man images do not like me lately.

It's not 100% Legion if Zion is still independent.

I don't mean Utah, I just mean north of Vegas. There's no way they could be walking around Utah without being attacked by the Legion so that Caesar could erase Joshua from history.

Nah, I looked it up this time and it is in fact railways.

I know now all of Utah is 100% Legion, that's why I said the North. ;p Also if they patrol the routes of North Vegas than I will just say they went the Blue route--which while being the longest is also potentially the safest. Refresh my memory, but doesn't NCR control most of Nevada?

Huh... Must have misread.

I still think they're a neat faction to have around (considering they're partially connected to the Mojave due to their war with the Viper gang)

Considering that the NCR is coming from Mojave Outpost in Southwestern Nevada, my guess is that they're coming straight out of California and don't control very much of Nevada, if at all.

Assuming that the Mr. House ending is going to win, the 3 families more or less stay the same as they were, correct?

How many post time skip is this? Im thinking of the Khan Empire to own all of Wyoming and are spreading to the Montanas, Dakotas, and Idaho. The KE also found out that the Northen Commonwealth of former U.S was not really a heavy target for bombing and only the heavy cities were. The KE has a large abundance of mines, natural resources, and OIL(Would accept if the Khans have Oil?). That is what attributed to there growth and there power. What do you think?

It's going to be 1-3 years, haven't decided. Don't want to do too much of a time jump, though.

Assume that the Courier completed all the quests.

For example:
Benny was either killed in the Tops, executed in the Fort, or released from the Fort, so Swank took charge and the Courier hired four acts for the Tops.
Nero and Big Sal are dead, Cachino took over.
Mortimer was exposed for cannibalism and killed. The Courier convinced Heck Gunderson not to make a food blockade to the Strip.

I've done them quite a few times and want to try something more varied. Something I haven't done before.
Variety is certainly the spice of life! :tops:

Don't worry about it. Until more people sign up, the poll isn't going to be closed, so there will be more time for the votes to spread out in that sense.

FYI: Caesar's Legion is probably going to fall behind the other two, so if you want to tip the balance between Indy and House, I'd suggest switching the vote from Caesar's Legion if you did.
