This is just a breif overview, I am for personal entertainment writing out the idea more thoroughly, afterall if I were to try and do anyhting officially would be hugely illegal so for my own geekyness I am desinging my idea for a fallout game for personal enjoyment.


Now for the idea itself.


I have been playing with the idea of the playable character being pre-war. setting them on a secret moon base built by vault tec and robcofor the exploration of the solar system. But due to the war the scientists on the base went into cryo sleep and have been sleeping since until recent events in New Vegas, one of the ghouls rockets hits the moon base's power facility which knocks out the cryo chambers. You wake up a week later, the power is failing and the base is losing stbaility. All the other sceinetists are dead becaus ethier pods lost power compeltely.

The idea form there on is that the moon base escape is the pre-game 'training' that you get in Fallout 3 and Fallout:NV. The main storyline is that due to the fact you are a pre-war survivor and scientist, the various factions of the war torn wastes are after you for your knowledge and you must avoid them to return to the space programs main base which you still have access to as an employee. The factions are all near the base fighting over it and trying to gain entry wihtout any luck (the main facility is underground).

Eventually you will enter the base and gain access to tech and etc....and can decide which faction to side with and so on. That is the rough idea thus far. I will be working on more details and ideas in my private time. But if anyone finds this interesting I may share more and owuld be happy to discuss my concept.

Welcome to the forums.

This idea should go http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1352810-fallout-4-speculation-suggestions-ideas-thread-54/.

It should?

I dunno, that discussion seems to be for just generalised ideas people have?

Not so sure though, I could copy and paste it over perhaps, but I do not know if it really should go there since my idea isn't rrally just a suggestion it is an idea I am working on quite seriously on a private level of geek pleasure.

Vault-Tec... on the moon. :aneurysm:

EDIT: Copy and paste it onto the link if it is serious, these threads just get locked eventually.

Vault-Tec took over Robco if I recall correctly.

So yup, Vault-Tec on the moon.

All suggestions and speculations on release dates are to go into that thread.
They want to keep everything in one place as otherwise there'd be threads about new things to add constantly.
I don't really like it though, hard to keep a discussion going in one of those threads.
Hmm, I wonder...

Your recollection is in-correct I'm afraid old boy. RobCo bought out a private areospace company REPCONN but that's about it. Vault-Tec was a largely government owned company which had zero reason to go to the moon at all let alone build a permenant settlement there, they had the insanely hard job of building 122 Vaults and manufactuing components for other government installations. Who else in the solar system is going to need a company that only builds survival bunkers and associated equipment?

Hmm, I could have swore I read somewhere that Vault-Tec had taken over Robco...either way, it can just be Robco. Besides which I never said anyhting about a permanent settlement, just a science base. Nothing greater due to the war breaking out.

It is an idea in progress.

I have a lot of ideas for the plot and small pieces of irony or humour to lace wihtin it. So not like it is a total lost cause.

I'd recommend the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1349600-official-future-fallout-locations-suggestions-topic-12/ thread rather than the suggestion and speculation thread. You're welcome to copy this over to one of them.
