If you were thrown into the D.C. Wasteland, where would you

Post » Thu May 19, 2011 5:52 am

Say you were somehow morphed into the body of your character, all of his/her caps, weapons, ammo, armor, etc are yours. Where's the first place you'd head to live out your days?

Me personally, I'd head for Tenpenny Tower, don a grimy pre-war businesswear and comb my hair back, and live out my days in quiet luxury, wallowing in the Pre-War nostalgia of the tower. I'd also, 'convince' Tenpenny to surrender power, then turn it into a central hub of D.C. trading.

Rivet City, it seems like it would be a safer place to live than most in the wasteland.

My character is untouchable anyway, so I suppose safety isn't that important. B)

Sam? ;) Fester? :D

I think I would live in Megaton. Since that is where my characters usually end up, more than anywhere else, it feels like home.

Law of the Wasteland: Guy with the gun makes the law :wink:

Besides, I'd open up TP to traders and make a visitors floor, maybe a refugee quarters like in Vault City and it's Courtyard, except I wouldnt charge people in the refugee camp 'protection' fees. Plus, I'm a pragmatic man, killing one evil man for (what I deem) the greater good, I feel it would prove beneficial, what did Tenpenny do? He lived as a recluse who absorbed all caps, with little trade with the outside world. I'd welcome all traders, permitted they hand over their weapons during their stay, or their ammo if the guns are for trade. I'd recruit men and train them to use power armor, then use them as the exterior defense force, combat armor men for inner security.

Way I see it, if you work with Tenpenny, you're likely going to do a criminal act, might as well do the act that's a favor to the world :wink:

@CNC- I wouldnt really rely on ingame details. I'd go by lore descriptions.

I know, same goes for nearly all details in FO3

but he just annoys me when he says it, all I keep thinking is, your town has a diner and 2 people who sleep all the time to protect it.


Actuly in the wasteland make alist of all the people who annoy me and go punch them in the face with lots of whisky.

Doctor Li is on the top of the list followed by Sarah Lyons...though might need to make a side detour to GNR as gotI guy there I need to punch.

Yeah if I live in the wastes im not gonna be liked by many

I agree about the town, I mean, it's got all those boarded up buildings, and no one willing to fortify the town or restore the homes.

The Office room in the Farragut West Station, drag a workbench in there and you will have everything you would ever need in a fallout house, you also have the only Lockable safe


edit: you can hunt mire-lurks for food and drink from the river/water carvans

The http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Sniper_Shack with the Victory Rifle in it, overlooking Rockbreaker's Last Gas. Has a great view, a bed, a work bench, lockers, books to read, and Fluffy and Jitters to keep me company.

If only the Talon Company didn't ambush me every freaking time I open the door. . . .

I couldn't live by myself, while not being very social, I find something very comfortable about being able to see other people near by and knowing I have friends or neighbors so close.

Edit: Sentient, they aren't ambushing you, they're just giving you items to turn into caps :wink:

Hamilton Hideaway has a workbench, air filtration, chemical toilets, artesian well, and a fusion generator. A pre war family took shelter in it when the bombs dropped. Perfect for a home.

True enough, but most of the people in the Capitol Wasteland are so disagreeable and/or mentally deranged that becoming a hermit doesn't seem like that bad of an idea.

If I got really lonely, I could always hike out to Arefu, talk to Brailee Ewers, and be reminded of why I became a hermit in the first place :D

I'd like to live at Old Olney, granted they have a ton of deathclaw inhabitants, but a dart gun and a Chinese Assualt Rifle should make it an exceptional place for me live. I would try and make it a great place for the family and maybe get some trade routes going through.

Old Oleny would a great pplace to live , all you need to do is find a way to block off acess to the sewers(deathclaws nests) and then kill the rest on the surface :D

I'd head to Meresti Trainyard, carefully avoid all of the traps, sweet talk my way past Robert then kill Holly in her sleep and spend the rest of my days comforting Vance. The poor tortured soul will be ripe for the pickings...I mean he'll need a shoulder to cry on. Yeah, that's it.

I would take off to Point Lookout even though its not in DC. A nice quiet life, and I can't live without the green(plants, vegetation, etc..) Find a nice lodge or even one of those motel rooms and live! :celebration:
