Sorry if this poll has been done, but after playing FO3 and New Vegas, I've concluded that the two aren't two different games, but seem to be in two different worlds.

FO3- it defantly has the feeling of "after the apocalypse." While there are attempts at rebuilding- everything is destroyed and there's no real central government.

FO:NV- It has the whole "rebuilding civilization" covered, while the Great War seems to be almost an afterthought- despite it having more factions than FO3, it feels far more "civilized" than FO3.

I don't mind the "Bombs dropped recently" feeling as long as it is logical yknow.
What made FO3 crap with that was the fact that it had been 200 years and it still looked like bombs dropped a week ago.
So the "Feel"?
It depends on the location, year, history and culture of the area.
Sierra Madre and Point Lookout for example were meant to feel creepy due to the location, history and culture.
So for me there is no clear cut "It should be like this and only this."
And there is no "other" option so the poll is racist.

In general, I think the series should steadily evolve in a slow but steady point of humanity remember the folly of a bygone generation and rebuilding the safety of the old world, making their lives easier and so on. I despise the idea that people believe the series should be a constant limbo of 'WE ARE FOREVER STUCK IN SAND AND PAIN' it loses flavor and rapidly so.

I want both of course.

I would like pie

but aside from that I would rather a post apocalyptic game look more like Fallout 3 in terms of its "feel."

I'll be the first to admit though that 200 years + kinda throws the "logical" aspect of such an atmosphere out the window (maybe not in terms of 1950s logic but meh..). So maybe backtracking a bit in the timeline would help this problem a bit.

Both, but the rebuilding society feets more with Fallout, they cant stuck forever in the, same feelings, is like Status Quo

Exactly how could an "other" choice work on this poll? Unless I'm horribly mistaken, the Fallout series is about survival in a post-apocalyptic world. If society has fully rebuilt to pre-war levels, then it's not "Fallout-worthy." Look at Tactics and FO:BoS, one had mediocre reviews and the other... well, we don't talk about. Both of these are treated like that because of how far they deviated from the look and feel employed in FO1 and FO2.

Besides, if you really need the "other" option, that's what the non-sequitur choice "I want pie!" is for.

Yeah, but that's racist against the cakes. We don't need any more racism pointed towards cakes, with people calling them lies and whatnot.

??? is missing, poll is racist. is catching on.. Bwhahha, good, good..

I want it to feel like Fallout, the original one.

Civilization rebuilding, towns being rebuilt and farming and etc.. but buildings would still be devastated, as an example of this would be Boneyard, completely wiped out.. yet people are rebuilding.

Lets us not forget the noble cupcakes either, being a subgroup of the long descriminated "cakes" they too have suffered great hardships in their struggle for equality against the snooty pies.

But you forget the mislabeled Cheesecake!

Many people in our race has mistaken them to be "cakes" instead of pie, Cakes do not have thick crust, they be pie.

A common misconception, but alas you cannot ignore the even nobler cheesecake, they have suffered severely for being neglected.

you guys are horrible for off-topic discussions.

but I like it

I say both, but done properly. ie. if 200 years have passed, then make sure it looks like 200 years have passed. civilization would rebuild itself, yes, but to an extent.

The cake is a lie

So

Heavy Weapon Guy: NOU!!!!!

I want the post-apocalyptic feel to remain... But I also want civilization actually doing something.

I think you should add the question to civilized or anrachy and chaos (I'd pick choas

FO1, FO2 and FO New Vegas have all shown major signs of progress in the rebuilding of civilizations. FO3 is the odd game out as it has no signs that anything has changed in the DC area for over 200 years, no one has figured out how to farm. The Great War is not what Fallout is about. Even in FO1 the focus was on civilization trying to rebuild. Conflicts for the games comes from different groups having their own ideas of how to rebuild.

Both. Why not set it 50 years after the bombs, in the south and show the different groups rising up. That or just do Fallout Arizona :whistling:

Styles nailed it like a New Reno prosttute.

Sorry, I always wanted to say that.

>Horrified<

Civilized with Chaos,.....


Fallout Detroit?

No seriously, Maybe the NCR itself have little chaos, not mentioning New Reno, even anexed or not

i voted pie i like pie

I think the Mojave wasteland area displays my preferred balance of civilization and post-apocalyptic feel. Some areas are really well off, some areas are horrible, some are simply getting by. I never want the series to get to the point where a lot of the territory is NCR mainland-like civilization. As I've said before on other posts, the timeline should stay between 2281-2300, with different areas of the wastes that are not really affected by what is happening where we have visited, unless they lied and they do intend to go back in the timeline eventually.

Both. I want FO3's destruction and I want the originals rebuilding.

Honestly, I want to see cities like New Vegas, meaning lights, functionality, stability and so on. But in further out locations it should have a desolate abandoned feel in some spots.

Guys i just stuck a great idea. what if they took it to a whole new approach. :ets say you strat as an elite soldier and you have been serving the Enclave for most of your life. Lets say in the beggining you are breaking out of the enclave and then you have a flash back about what happened before the war. Or you can start off as an elite soldier again or someone one that had a role in the before war period and you see what is happening to the world . Then we will know who actually won the war and what started it. I beleib=ve if they take this new approach it would be a very interesting game that would definitely keep anyones attention unless they had no life.

IF YOU AGREE TYPE IN PIE
IF YOU DISAGREE TYPE IN ALPACA

Alpaca

Why? Because a back-story is forced upon you.. Which is bad when designing a RPG.
