Fallout with MRQ

[Blackyinkin]

Hi all,

My vote would go for the post-apocalyptic roleplaying game Fallout by Black Isle and Bethesda. The setting, the huge amount of background the percentile system are crying out for an MRQ conversion of this wonderful set of games...go on Matt you know you want the licence. I have already been converting the system for my own gamers.

There are many Fallout PnP adaptations on the Web, and I personally think that it would be a shame to use a different system than the original one. There's even a D20 adaptation somewhere!
I like MRQ a lot but I really think there can be no Fallout without the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, the Fallout skills and perks and so on...
Look at the terrible mistake White Wolf has done in adapting World of Warcraft: instead of making a system based on the classes and stats of the video game, they went for a D20 version (and a poor one!). Result: the game is so crappy and unfaithful that it didn't sell, failing to interest both D20 and WoW fans...

So I'll say YES to a Fallout RPG, but with proper Fallout rules!

Fallout was originally based on GURPS.
I'd like to see a post apocalyptic source book for Traveller.
It could help you design really war torn worlds where nuclear disasters and the like have happened.
Additional rules for mutated animals and people would be cool.

I'm in - a Fallout RPG would be sweet if done right. I'm embarrassed how many hours I've played Fallout.

Howabout a Killzone RPG? Oh man! 8)

I don't know if it'll help, but know that you're not the only one to sacrifice your social life for super mutant hunting.... :wink:

:lol: Damn straight it helps! I blame Bethedesa for making such a great game - it's all their fault!

160 hours and I still have the final quest to do. Yes, I know that 160 hours of gaming is not a very responsible act...

I'm waiting Broken Steel to go to end of the game. The next DLC will allow to continue the game after the end of the main quest and to raise your character to level 30.

Man, I really loved this game...

At least it would work as an EVO game

Man - I'll have to check my hour count (gulp) but I have done everything - I don't think there is anything I haven't done. All I have left to do is to play the game as a neutral/bad character.

It is an awesome game!

Hey Snowdog - cool idea but after playing Dark Heresy recently (and loving it!) - I can tell you a Killzone RPG could work. A EVO game would also be sweet, but a KZ RPG would really be awesome. Herve - if you don't have one - get a PS3 just for Killzone 2 - you will thank me. 8)

I'm still on my first (good kharma) character and trying too get everything but I think I missed the Xuanlong Assault Rifle (among a few other things). I must have fumbled somehow with the computers at the Museum of Technolgy, as the body of Prime (or Jiggs, I don't remember which one) is nowhere to be found at the Dinner's of Jury Station...

Good luck Hervé - I literally just stumbled onto both of those events. I remember finding Jiggs and not having a clue who he was - did it completely backwards. Can't remember where I found the Xuanlong rifle - off a Super Mutant I believe...

I am so effing pissed off that I didn't buy the Collector Edition for this game - it was only $10 more and you get a real bobblehead, amongst other cool items. But, when I bought the game I never knew it was so great! I'm off to ebay to try and get that bobblehead. :lol:

Oh yeah - Mongoose get the Fallout license please! 8)

 

[Hervé]

From what I've read, the unique assault rifle can only be found on the merc body in Jury's station if you didn't mess up things with the computers in the Museum of Technology.

Anyway there's a PnP version of Fallout that's been available for a while on the web. And it's free.

Really? I stumbled across that then - nothing new with Fallout. Plus, I wonder what may be different on the PS3 vs, PC - like we can't continue the game after the final mission, unless we go back to the an earlier save.

Thanks for the link H!

 

[Hervé]

There are no differences between the 360, PS3 or PC versions. The PC game has access to various mods and codes the console versions have not.

As for continuing the game after the main quest:

I'm waiting for Broken Steel to go to end of the game. The next DLC will allow to continue the game after the end of the main quest and to raise your character to level 30.

Hervé - I'm not all up on the latest and greatest but when I was playing non-stop and wanted more I did some searching and found these articles that I assumed meant some differences:

No Happy Ending for Fallout 3 PS3 Players

Jan 24, 2009 at 2:29 PM - Robert "Apache" Howarth

With the help of a little DLC, PC and 360 owners can keep on playing Fallout 3 after the main quest is completed. Playstation 3 owners? Not so much. Will that ever change? MTV asked Todd Howard:
We got in touch with “Fallout 3″ executive producer Todd Howard for an answer. So, is post-ending adventuring something Bethesda is considering for PS3 players?
“Not at this time, no,” said Howard.

That doesn’t sound too hopeful. What do you make of Bethesda’s decision?

I think if you don't like it you should get a PC like the rest of us (cough).

All I know is after I finished the game I had to finish the other quests with a prior save. I thought maybe there were other differences b/w sysytems. I swear I picked up the X-rifle before the diner somewhere cause I used it a lot and I hit the diner late. It was strange. I have only 7 trophies left and I'll go Platinum with Fallout 3!

I play the game on 360. I didn't know Sony screwed it again on PS3.

Don't be a playa hatta - Sony ain't charging ya each month. :lol:

Nothing's comes for free pal.
Quality has a price: 360 has a better Live service, more extensions for their games, more download stuff, more players online and so on...

By the way, a PS3 costs twice the price of a 360. You can get 4 four years of X-box live Gold with the price difference! If you just do updates and downloads, it's even free! You have to pay only if you want to play online.

I used to be pro Sony and hated Dark Bill the Sith Lord as much as any one else but as I said I think Sony screwed it with PS3 and that The 360 is a better product (and a considerably cheaper one, too!).

I really think Sony lost the Next Gen battle, as they were a lot of VERY bad choices made when the product was launched. Microsoft took the lessons of the first Xbox failure when Sony disconnected from the reality of the market.

Unfortunately, their past mistakes cost them a lot of their exclusivities. The blue advantage is the only thing that kept the PS3 alive.

It seems though Sony is trying to correct its past mistakes, so I'll may coming back to them for the PS4. With Killzone or MGS, there are now some worthy games exclusive on the console even if they are still one step behind Microsoft for exclusive games and content.

The PlayStation 3 received generally unfavorable reviews soon after its launch, with many websites and reviewers criticizing its high price and lack of quality launch games.

The PS3 was given the number-eight spot on PC World magazine’s list of "The Top 21 Tech Screwups of 2006," where it was criticized for being "Late, Expensive, and Incompatible."GamesRadar ranked the PS3 as the top item in a feature on game-related PR disasters, asking how Sony managed to "take one of the most anticipated game systems of all time and — within the space of a year — turn it into a hate object reviled by the entire internet", but added that despite its problems the system has "untapped potential."

Business Week summed up the general opinion by stating that it was "more impressed with what the PlayStation 3 could do than with what it currently does."

I sure X Box is fun and a good cheap play- the quality of the XBox is very poor and just not very reliable - and customer service is very bad. One of my friends has returned 4. You get what you pay for - and it's ridiculous that you have to pay a monthly fee. Dark Lord indeed. And you blew by the blue feature like it's a new color button instead of the next generation tech - blu-ray movies are true incredible. Oh yeah - try buying a blu-ray player - gonna cost ya - unless you snag up a PS3. :lol: The PS3 is truly the best gaming option out there - if you can understand quality control and step up to the future of the movie experience. All that was missing were some great games that could utilize the incredible HD tech - we now have those. Don't believe the hype from Microsoft - pickup a PS3 - you will never play the 360 again and you will love Blu-ray - especially the sci-fi/action genres.

In the UK I can buy a Blu-Ray player for the prioce difference between a Wii and a PS3
