One day I just randomly came up with what I thought was a pretty good idea for a Fallout game. So, tell me what you think or add more to it if you want.
The game would actually start out before the war and you would do a few missions in just a normal world, like go buy groceries, or something like that. Then you hear about the upcoming war and try to get into a vault. BUT being single (or for whatever other plausible reason I guess) you get rejected. Then your character watches the nukes falling, and is far enough away that he isn't killed, but close enough that he is effected by the radiation. The next part is the part I haven't thought as much about, but I was thinking that maybe your character slowly starts turning into a ghoul, so you have to find some way to cure yourself.
So, what do you think? And I noticed that I typed "he" but the character could obviously be a man or woman.

Nah.
I mean, first you have to do quests like "Don't forget to pick up some milk" or "Help granny mow her lawn" in half an hour before we get to something interesting. Then we hear the news of an upcoming war and try to get a room in a vault but is rejected. Then I guess we fast forward about 20 years until the nukes drop, right? And yeah, there the nukes drop and the world is aflame in chaos, and at the same time, very silent for several months or years. Then we are a ghoul trying to find a cure for the ghoulification although canon has already stated there is no cure? And all this within the first year of the Great War where basically there's just chaos, people killing others for food and water, raiding stores that are not destroyed or still burning, lots of bandits everywhere, women are [censored], children are murdered, probably cannibalism going on, no real factions has emerged except for groups of bandits and people protecting themselves against them...

@ Savage beatings "fine by me"
