The entrance to another DLC (Probably one in LA)?

Post » Tue Aug 17, 2010 5:28 am

It may well lead to LA, and I know you went there in Fallout, but half of the people that bought NV(and F3 for that matter) havent played any of the old Fallouts, like me.
I would love a DLC where you go to California, and anyone who says "Go play Fallout and see it there", it will probably look like x1000 different.


Well I am going to say it. "Go play Fallout and see it there." I want to see something new. LA is now a state in NCR and is civilized. We know so little of Ceasars Legion (the second larges faction in the wasteland) and yet the Devs will waste time making a DLC for a place we have already been?!

Its bad enough the devs of Fallout 3 copied and pasted Fallout and Fallout 2 together to make Fallout 3. We don't need DLC to take us to locations we have been to before!

Ok, well, opinions eh? I'm just speaking on behalf of the NV players that never played the first 2(which is over 50%)
And how was Fallout 3 a copy-paste of FO 1 and 2? It uses an entire different engine and is based on the opposite side of the country!

Yes. LA is to the southwest of New Vegas, but I doubt they will make a dlc that goes to LA just because how far it is from Vegas. Plus I think the next Fallout game will be set in the LA area. Just a guess though.

I hope the next game will be in New York City or Florida!!!! That would be awesome.
Offtopic: I always thought Point Lookout was sort of in Florida. With the swamps and rednecks?

Nothing is stopping you from going out and buying Fallout and Fallout 2 or even Tactics. I want something new.

Plots of Fallout games *Spoilers*

Fallout: Find a water chip to get clean water. Fight super mutants and in the end "sorry but you have to leave for the good of the vault." Vault 13

Fallout 2: Find a geck, fight Enclave.

Fallout 3: Find a Geck to get clean water, fight super mutants and Enclave and once again "sorry but you have to leave for the good of the vault." Vault 101 which is the samething as Vault 13 but insted of staying closed for 200 years it was not meant to open.

Thats what i just said, it will look a million times different with the NV engine. and maybe you are in a vertibird and it crashes.


Im really liking that idea you got there sir.

i think it would be cool if the next FO game was set in like a mountainy area, where as alot of people would run to if there really was a nuclear attack. kinda like where the "friendly" super mutants reside in new vegas. almost like an elder scrolls:oblivion type area. of course we'd have to have some sort of access to some "close by" city or towns.

Lol new vegas is swamped by mountains.

Okaaaay then. You completely neglected the other half of the story, like trecking through the wastes to try and find out where your dad is, was that in the other Fallout games? And finding the G.E.C.K, your trying to make the wasteland easier to live in. Anyway, this has gone waaay off topic. Im just saying, going back to L.A. would be sweet, disagree if you want man, but i know alot of people agree.

Yes but theres still plenty differences like the whole daddy escapade and say liberty prime and the end of the enclave the story was fun and enjoyable in it's own way which the ye old dinosaurs (as they make out ) seem to deny that .

Try not to make F3 sound like a rip off. In the end they had something totally different. They had the Enclave and BOS fighting each other. And many other things.

I don't understand the argument for "Well it was in Fallout 1 so no we can't go back", that to me is a bunch of crap. I think the Boneyard would make for a nice place to have a DLC.

This is how I would set it up, a representative of the NCR visits you (Regardless of Reputation). He needs you to do a job and will pay you well by granting you access to some NCR storage facilities outside of the Mojave Wasteland. The Job is you need to stop some rebels in the Boneyard, they aren't happy at Kimball (Or the Vice President if he's assassinated) so they decided to rebel and form there own country. Once you get there you could eventually side with the rebels if you wanted too although you'll get a Vilified Rep and have Elite Veteran Rangers come after you. I would have the area a mix of The Pitt but also have the open world of Point Lookout. I think it could work but I also think that Obsidian has there own plans for DLC so I'll be happy with whatever they do.

But you cant just take every location from F2 and F1 and make into some cheap thing in FNV...just to show the "new" gamers of fallout how it was or is.

I love how you guys say its completely different. Because they had dad? Wow, that makes it all better then eh? Enclave did not start fighting the Enclave till the end which they should have been fighting them from the start.

On topic. LA has been done. Move on to something new like the other 80% (just putting a number out there) of the country we have not seen before.

Just because people new to Fallout have not seen LA before its ok to back track and waste a great chance to see other parts of the west? We may never get another game in the West again. Now is our chance to see new stuff!

People say us dinosaurs, old timers, elitists, old guard are the ones stuck in the past. Seems to me we are the only ones asking for something NEW!

it's stupid though, in terms of New Vegas. You're running around, trying to find Benny, then you get caught up in the war over hoover dam and.. oh, wait, I need to go 250 miles away to a completely unrelated place and have a vacation, all this running around the Mojave makes me wish for a nuclear winter blah blah.

I can understand you dipping into a vault under Camp Golf or wherever. I can understand you seeking out the Burned Man. I can understand you concluding your business with the other Courier. I can understand you helping RIngo take a caravan to New Canaan. (just). I can't understand you travelling all the way to LA. For what? If you were going there, it would be for good. Caesars legion are coming? Wait, I can hitch a ride in a virtibird to the beach? hell, I'm not coming back, good luck to em...

It just doesn't make sense in the New Vegas story arc. Yeah, for Fallout 4. Or Fallout 5. or Fallout: The Boneyard. But not for a dlc. Pointless even discussing it in that context

I just think it would be cool passing through it, or over it. Maybe going to California to do a mission with the Legion or BoS.

Legion arn't in California and there has been no mention of the BoS back west so I doubt they would start a story about them now just for a DLC.

Yeah, they arent based in California, but maybe your bombing it, or assaulting it, or going under cover and blowing up their supplies.

It would be more fun IMO to cross the Colorado river into Arizona and have a quest were I can help the Legion or help NCR or do what every the hell I want :foodndrink:

It's not about the past it's about making the best DLC. An LA/Boneyard DLC could work like I described in my post. You get hired by the NCR to stop Rebels and you have the choice later on as to which group you want to side with.

I recently started replaying Nv, which I haven't touched since January after beating Dead Money (Is it just me, or did the last update increase that annoying glitch where your gun goes up higher/over your head) and I just go to the Mohave outpost. I went to the back of it and saw that the gate needs a key. Now it could be that there is a key for it and I just never found it, but I think it's actually set as an entrance for a future DLC. If so, it will probably be set if LA, as a sign just b4 you reach primm (which is down the road from the outpost) says
Los Angeles on it. Now since the arrow points up (twords the outpost) I'd assume that that's the direction LA is in, but it also says nipton underneath it, so I could be wrong. Does anyone know if LA is supposed to be south of
Nipton
the outpost, or east of nipton. I'm thinking the gate in the outpost DOES lead to LA as on the map the road that goes through it is two lanes, like a highway. Also, there clearly used to be a toll booth or something in the outpost, so that could have been the boarder between Nevada and California. What does everyone else think?

you mean the road signs that are there in real life? You know, the ones that would normally guide drivers?

Just because there are legible words doesn't mean its some foreshadowing of a DLC or something like that. Its a road sign. Period.
