After a hard days work, school or Fallout, you decide it's time for bed. You jump into bed, close your eyes and begin to nod off...

...You wake up in the Mojave Wasteland. It isn't a dream. What is your first instant reaction? What do you do?

Depends where I am

I would wake up and feel woozy, in a house, fan over my head. Doc Mitchell says, "You're awake how bout' that?". Then blah blah blah 3 months later, the NCR won the second battle of Hoover Dam. All of this is what I would have done.

Or,

I would wake up and feel woozy, in a house, fan over my head. Doc Mitchell says, "You're awake how bout' that?". Then blah blah blah 3 months later, the Legion won the second battle of Hoover Dam. All of this is what I would have done.

I would wake up and feel woozy, in a house, fan over my head. Doc Mitchell says, "You're awake how bout' that?". Then blah blah blah 3 months later, Mr. House and his army of Securitrons won the second battle of Hoover Dam. All of this is what I would have done.

Check to see if I was still a wise cracking floating skull.

Then get very creeped out by the odd man that had been probbing me..
Wishing as soon as I got up he did not say "Hmmmm would you look at that" in the tone that he does.

Apart from this stay in Goodsprings, if I head north.. splat.
Head south, chewed at, shot at, and then told that the way out of the war zone was closed to traffic.
Loop round through areas where I'd die through amushes or fright.
Get to NV, try to not get killed by fiends, find out that without 2000 caps I'm stuck in a slum.
Break down then rob as many people as I could to live as a destitute waster.

Do fun things with Boone in bed cause he's right there with me... :hubbahubba:

Get te hell over to California.

Depends can I tgm

Run to New Vegas to gamble gamble.

Make contact with, join, recieve equipment and assignment from, Talon Company.

Pinch myself. If it hurts, I'll go back to sleep. If it doesn't hurt and I wake up, I'll go back to sleep.

naw thats to much work, just go back to sleep.

I'd dance in the sand in joy, then I'd become Mr. Houses lapdog, then after the BoHD, I'd reside in the Lucky 38 and die a happy and comfortable old man.

I'd yell, "Oh no, not again!"

Lol at least you're already wearing the right gear on your avatar... almost as if you plan on it happening.


I've seen Mr House' lap Colonel Martyr.. lets just say being a suction hose is not my idea of luxury.

Make a sandwich!?

Get the space suit, a party hat and a golf club. Then proceed to hitting every living thing in the Mojave to the nuts. I'm invincible, because my life difficulty is set to very easy.

Go back to sleep in hopes I would wake up back where I was before :wink_smile:, for me the FO world is a great place to visit and play but I don't wanna live there.

Well if you join House..you might live forever.

Or if you take over New Vegas yourself, you could probably figure out how that cryogenic chamber works yourself...

Get myself enough to be classed as a trader and make my way to Arizona to be protected and make a good living. :disguise:

No one came up with this before?

I'd do it with Sunny Smiles.

Immediately begin singing "Heat of the Moment". I have no idea why. :shrug:

"'Cause it's the heat of the moment
The heat of the moment" :bunny:

After getting over the initial shock and getting well equipped, I'd start exploring the Wasteland and try to find others like me. I'd also thank God that I didn't end up in the Capital Wasteland.

Do I wake up as myself or my current character (who is festooned with guns, dressed in the finest NCR armor and accompanied by some heavily-armed friends)?

Either way, life would svck anywhere but Vegas. But it would svck less if I was my character. And even in Vegas it would be lousy.

Scorching heat. Sun is deadly - ozone layer went bye-bye a long time ago. Get cancer from sun exposure, or get cancer from a myriad radioactive and toxic sources around you. Water shortages - they are real in Nevada right now, in today's world; they would be even more severe in the Fallout world. No shower for days, no running water, no real plumbing, everything stinks to high heaven.

Oh, and things want to kill you or at least hurt you. Bullet wounds, knife wounds, assorted bites/stings/gashes are ugly business even if you have proper medical facilities. In the Wasteland, everything is not exactly sanitary; hello infection, gangrene, amputations, slow death. Even with stimpaks which make flesh heal quicker, if you are shot, the bullet needs to be dug out first, preferably with tools that aren't rusty or dirty. Things get a lot more complicated if a vital organ is damaged. Yes, they did it somehow in the Wild West, but the mortality rate was pretty damn high even without the auxiliary problems of contaminated water and radiation.

And yes, radiation. Good old radiation sickness and aforementioned cancer aside, I hope you aren't planning on having kids, because the chances of having stillborn or disfigured offspring are pretty high.

Watch "Book of Eli" or "The Road" sometime...

You remember Asia?

** It would have been a great special encounter... For the player to come across some hostile cannibal ghouls (in wigs?),
but have them singing, "the Eat of the moment".

~or , "the Happy Tummy song" :laugh:

of course. I know very few of their songs apart from "Heat of the Moment" though.
