Ok, so I've been scanning the stories of the section for a bit, and they've all began to sound the same in one way or another. So I've decided to take a whole new perspective of the Fallout Universe, and make something unique. I know how you most of you like to confine yourselfs to the typical wastelander or BOS/Enclave stories, but this is going to be good and unique.

This story, will be apart of my "Life of a (Insert name here)" titles, such as Life of a Wastelander, Life of a Wastelander: Daves Return, and Life of a Wasteland Mercenary.
_______________________________________________
The story will revolve around a young Tribal boys life, starting when he's in his teenage years in his village, then gradually growing into a man and going through his journey's into the wasteland, and seeing what civilization outside his village has come to etc. etc. I've already began starting on the Prologue, but it's taking more time to finish because my work has kept me busy. So hopefully soon I will have it ready for all of you.

Tell me what you think. If you vote "NO" then please give a reason (No need to hide). I would actually prefer to see more "No's" then "Yes" because it will make me want to make it even more, and I'll know people aren't giving me [censored]. But don't just vote "NO" because I said that. Your word will greatly be appreciated.

I think its pretty good, coming from a novice writer. It depends how well you execute the story, and your grammar and generic literary construction. I think you should post a intro or prolouge but yeah, this seems good

Your new around here, and haven't read Life of a Wastelander so let me just say, Dr. Strangelove is no novice writer (By any means of the title). He's always kept his stories away from the Capital Wasteland, so having Dave from the Republic would be very different in his settings. But I could be wrong, and he could have it in the Capital Wasteland or somewhere close? But I doubt it.

I think its a good story idea, and it is very unique because no one has ever done a story on a Tribal.

I'm sort of reluctant to vote "No" for a few reasons.

Reason one, I'm not sure I am in any position to tell anyone else how to write.

Reason two, it seems like you could morph this into something good, but it just seems like a small twist on the Vault Dweller/Lone Wanderer stories. Instead of being in a Vault, you're a tribal. That's how I see it. I'm sure you could take anything generic and turn it into something I would enjoy, but that's my straight forward answer.

EDIT:

Though just so you know, you are the first person on this forum I would come to for storyline help/condensing

i meant I am a novice writer I wouldn't disrespect someone like that lol

Thank you Stream for your honesty in choosing no. That's all I ask, is for some reasons.

And no, this will not be taking place anywhere near the Capital Wasteland, or have anything to do with Capital Wasteland characters. And the reason I wrote the basis of the story like I did, was so it would seem more interesting to those who like to confine themselfs to the FO3 world and settings. But the only real thing that would resemble FO3, is that the character has a female friend who he grows up with and has to take a test (Nothing like the G.O.A.T but somewhat like it)

Quick Little Teaser

I watched as they returned: Bloody, tired, and dirty. Their trip had been a success, but it had come at a price. The whole village watched the hunting party return carrying one of our own on their shoulders, wrapped in a white cloth. My eye's began to tear up as I realized who it was. Husky (Name pending) had been a great warrior, and a good mentor to me. I knew that his ceremony into the afterlife would be a magnificent display of love to the great warrior.

His ashes would rise to the Great Dog's and he would run amoungst them, watching over all of us during our own trials during this life.

That's what I mean. The basis is generic to me, but I am already interested. Honestly I'm writing something sort of similar, but it wouldn't be nearly as good.

I would really like to see your own lore though. I am really, really, REALLY tired of having to read the same names for creatures and weapons over and over. Not to mention rehashed locations. But given the teaser, I would recast my vote to yes. If this were a vote on whether this were unique, I couldn't tell you yet.

No, that's just how I wrote it. So it would seem generic, and since everyone likes generic on here, I thought it would interest them. But the actual prologue will be different. The only thing resembling FO3 is the female friend and test.

Everything else is different and will be alot more creative.

Well, then I can assure you if I had the chance to recast my vote, it would be a "Yes". It should be a huge breath of fresh air to see something new and unique like this, past the usual raider/slaver skirmishes and gunfight centered stories.

I do have a storyline idea I would like to run past you, if you don't mind. For something I am writing, not this.
