Hey!

I thought this could be a fun distraction since we're only 16 days away. I'd like for you to post an in depth character summary of what you would like to do in either Fallout: New Vegas, If you were simply thrown into a postapocoliptic universe, or describe your 'ideal' character.

The possibilities are endless but please have fun with it.

I know this has been done many times but I have offered numerous choices for you.

Have fun with it, I'll post mine below as this post is for instructional purposes only.

I think we had a thread like this just a couple of days ago.

Anyway, what do you mean by "survivor"?

Oh and none of those, my playthroughs are going to be more detailed than just "lone settler" or "doctor".

Travelling Merchant...
I like to sell stuff, but my barter skill is not good.....
That's a bit ironic, as you can reap easy cash with high barter.....

Pissed off courier?

My character is going to be an assassin. He works for whoever pays him the most caps. If anyone stands in his way, they die. If anyone attacks him, they die. If he is paid to kill someone, they die. People will keep dying until the mojave wasteland gets it through their heads that he is not a man to be trifled with. He cares nothing for other people's lives, yet he doesn't enjoy killing and only does it because he's good at it and it pays. What is good and evil anyway? It's subjective, the hard truth is that whoever wins is the "good guy". He is a professional on a mission, and if you have got the caps to pay him, he is on your side. He is a merchant of death... and as we all know, death makes the world go 'round.

"im not captain walker im the guy who keeps mr dead in his pocket" mad max thats me lol

Well I have finally voted and I chose Group Settler in a town and also Merchant Settler. I would settle with my family and closest friends, and of course there families. We'd go out and take what we can, get what we can, and sell what we can. I find this to be the most effective way as long as you can defend yourself against Raids. Hopefully living in a town will kinda provide the needed protection against that sorta stuff.

Seriously? I wouldn't last an hour in the wastes I'd better hope I get a (nonlethal) vault place. Either that or someone takes a shine to me and decides that my company is worth the trouble of keeping me alive despite my blundering mistakes and total lack of any survival skills whatsoever.

If I was going to play a character most like myself it would be a lone settler in a town..(or on the outskirts of a town.) I would most likely wander around trying to find junk to trade so I also chose settled merchant.
Not too close to civilization but not too far away from it either. You have the comfort of not having to deal in the town politics but also having it as a defense from outside invasions if necessary.

If it was actually me? I'd probably be either a Merchant set up in the strip just for high class gamblers, or a docter in New Vegas. I always want to be in a place where safety is much more assured.

I'd be a hunter most likely, which is more like the lone wanderer choice I guess. I would get just as far away from humanity as is humanly possible (lol).

Logically I would probably be a Merchant in some town.

I anticipate RP'ing the headstrong, wandering Merc. Vast knowledge of weapons systems, but little in regards to his fellow man. Work the various factions against one another for my own good. Unable to really settle in one place for very long.

Classy mobster. Will always get the job done with his cuniving charm. :tops:

Doctor I guess, I have basic survival and leadership skills but nothing extraordinary, I do however have a couple of years of medicinal training and a half year's worth of actual experience in a hospital, not exactly cream of the crop but given a bit of time I'd improve pretty quick...beyond that my only major skill is my scientific knowledge (and philosophical but frankly not going to be that useful). In an established community I'd be of use, otherwise I'd probably just put to use whatever survival skills I had and try to establish a group and if possible a fixed and defensible location (something I am good at is military defence, so I suppose that'd be good if I survived the initial period).

Wasteland merc.

Name: Wadsworth 1432
Age: unkown
Ocupation: Butler
Race: Robot
Biography:
They were monsters, no people! That is even worse. First my arms were attached, then my blasters, and other gadjets. They tortured me, blue sparks flew into the air as humans with mask lashed out with there grusome wepons. Then i was complete. "You are to report to the front line's Wadsworth 1432", A mechanic said. Without any choice my body jerked me into a truck. The man on the truck breifed the team. "Alright soliders! Were heading to anchorage, the chinese have captured surronding towns and soon will capture anchorage. If they take anchorage they take America, we need that Gas! Sit back and enjoy the trip, it may be your last", the General said. I tried to sit as commanded but my tentacle arms got in the way.

We arrived in anchorage to a barrage of fire. The town was taken before the reinforcments got there. The general looked at me and said, "Your are only hope Wadsworth 1432, we must anex alaska, you scout the city and use your cloaking to stay un detected. We will transmit from here at base camp". He then turned to a squadren of soliders and said, "Alright secure a premiter and get drones watching the area. Task force 3 go up and secure the artillary on the moutains. (First objective in Operation Anchorage when your in simulation)

I went my way not being able to disobey the commands. A few minutes later im near large buildings, my sensors pick up a torchered scream as a chinese officer raids the apartments. Then my radar picks up a large force moving into the city. My body automaticly flies over to the force. I see trashed cars, a few people hiding, and massive slaughter. When i reached the group i noticed them heading out of the city instead of in. Still invisble i move along following there march. After a few minutes i notice the location. A large oil district. We pass over snowy plains and finnaly reach a large walled in area. They raise there wepons, and open fire on the walled area. My radars pick up friendlys poping onto the walls and opening fire back.

After a few minutes of firing no more friendlies on the wall apreared. The chinese force moved along the wall and aproached the gate at the other end. A chinese solider walks up and takes some explosives. He plans on blowing his way in. But then somthing strikes him. My knowledge data base figures we are in a tesla field. Then the tesla finds my invisble body and striks me. It hits my control computer and the next thing i know i have complete control.

The chineese go into a panic and i fly out of there as soon as possible. As im leaving i notice the gate to the zone open and chinese go in guns blazing. No time to stop them i have to get out of here. After weeks of flying i start to run low on fuel. I fall short of what ever destination i had. My indicators slightly work and tap into a local satilite. Im in California. Then my sensors stop and my body slams to the ground.

After years of being out, my indicators come back online and the first thing i notice is a man fueling me up. Then i see another man come running up, "Morty, we need to move now! Those raiders will be here soon. We need to get back to megaton.". Then Morty says, "Ehh hold on let me fuel this old scrap, he might work". The other man says, "Ditch that scrap metal, he looks at least 300 years old! What makes you think he will be of any use, or even reprogramable."

The next thing i know were flying and we enter a scrap town. They set me in a abandon home and run out the door. I hear gun fire then all goes silent. They come back and this time there are three men. One has a Vault 101 suit on. "Here is your new home, that robot there is you buttler. I hope you enjoy it but im afraid there is things to be down around here. So get comfortable will be around if you need us", the man with no name say's. He has a duster and cap on but i have not heard his name. Then Morty says, "Be sure to come to my saloon, or i'll have you speared.

it's better to travel with a group

wait, California?

What the bloody hell did I just read?

It dosn't explain but anchoarge took place before the nuclear war... The trackers found the robot and brought him back to D.C. You don't know this cause it was first person.

He asked what i was... lol... im a bit of a story teller, i continued that a bit long. But you read the life of Wadsworth 1432.

i'll be that guy that steals all your stealth boys and your dandy apples (i think thats a food item) that lives in the sewers playn with the ham radio

how about gambler/ and or bomb technician

Ha..ha... Same here... : ]
