Suggestion: Linking Fallout Shelter and Fallout 4 Idea

Post » Sun Feb 14, 2016 2:12 pm

Hi I have just been playing Fallout Shelter and Fallout 3 again while waiting for Fallout 4 and while playing I noticed that the end game on Fallout Shelter is a bit lacking there are not many goals that you have not already done. So while I was browsing mods for Fallout 3 I can up with an idea. Why not link the end game on Fallout Shelter to Fallout 4?



I know linking two games especially on three totally different platforms can be hard to do but I think I have thought up a good way of doing so that is easy or so.



All they have to do is make an item in Fallout Shelter something special say a special lunchbox maybe a golden one as the rest are silver. When you use this golden lunchbox a popup happens that asks you if you want to use that golden lunchbox at that time. If you say yes you do not get an item or caps instead you get a code. A code that is generated based on your vault as it is now. Have somewhere in Shelter that you can review your code if you close the popup.



When Fallout 4 comes out have a dlc that you can download if it is to late to add this to the game that makes a dispenser somewhere in one of the major cities, When you use this dispenser it asks for your code and if you put in the code fallout shelter gives you then you get an item based on how well you made your vault. You should only be able to use the dispenser once to stop getting infinite items from it.



Well what do you think?



Some extra suggestions for this:


-The Golden Lunchbox should only be able to get say mid game to late, have a population cap to activate the quests to get it say 50


-There should be three free ways to get the Golden Lunchbox as well as the ability to buy it like Mr Handy


-One: After you pass 50 dwellers you should get a chance that once of your quests will be for the Golden Lunchbox this quest should be hard to do unless you have been playing for a while


-Two: You should be able to send a dweller into the wasteland to get a golden lunchbox but it should take quite a time, say one week. If your dweler can stay out for one week they find and can bring back a golden lunchbox


-Three: Your daily score could be added together and if you in a row get above a certain amount you get a golden lunchbox but miss one day and you have to start over again.


-Or they are available in the store to buy if you do not want to wait that long again like the Mr Handys


-The code you get is basied on your current vault and dweller status, do better over time and you get a better code from another lunchbox. One box per code.


-The item you get in Fallout 4 could either be from a leveled list, your vault is scored basied on rooms/upgrades + dewllers (levels x raw specials) + all your items scored and added together then the final count is what time you get or have special Fallout Shelter items like a weapon/armor/item and basied on your vault you get one type.



Issues:


-Won't this take more work? Yes and no, the item is the lunchbox icon coloured gold and some code that generates the popup and evaluates your vault. For Fallout 4 this could be added as a free dlc(the money comes from the app side where some people will pay for the golden lunchbox) its just a dispenser in one city and some code to generate the item then deactivate the dispenser.


-Won't people just share codes meaning most will not need to find a golden lunchbox? Well yes but that is not much of a problem this is just some fun for those who have played shelter long enough that they need something new to interest them with. There is nothing stopping anyone from opening the console(on pc) and giving themselves a billion caps, sharing codes is not so different than that. What people will lose is having there own personal code based on there own personal vault which could make the difference. Also some people don't have a tablet or phone that can run Shelter why stop them from enjoying the dlc by using someone elses code.
