Storyline by K and Scaredhelmet

[K]

The following post originates from a copyright protected document created by Keono Productions© and is thereby legally protected from direct copying or plagiarism.


This is the main storyline me and a friend of mine created for our project. Names of locations and persons are not defined, these are just used for the sake of explanation.

Setting: It takes place in a wasteland-like Europe, years after the bombing. The countries do not really exist anymore though influences of different cultures are still noticeable. Towns and villages developing, trying to survive the wasteland with farming and commerce.

The Main Character (MC) does not know much about the world, like the player. Though there is some common knowledge:
-The six biggest cities/towns have set up a committee several years ago, forming a so called ‘Union’. This committee contains one spokesperson per city, each with additional advisors. They have one location where the core of this committee always remains. These cities try attract other towns to join The Union. Negotiation is their trait.
-Evans & Bateman, this is a small corporate business that has been around for several decades. They produce healing drugs of very high quality (very effective stimpacks and stat-boosting supplements). Some towns trade periodically with Evans & Bates, which is rather safe since E&B has its own small and well-trained militia.
-Many towns are bothered with raiders. These are mostly just anarchists, addicts or any other type of outcast. But there are two groups of raiders that differ. One group of raiders is against E&B (this group does not have a name). Not many take them seriously since most members sound like lunatics that merely need something to rebel against. Most say it’s just an excuse to be violent while trying to get away with it, claiming they are saving the world from this corporation. The other group calls itself the AU, which stands for Anti Unification. They believe the unification of all the towns, as preformed by the Union, will lead to less freedom of the common man. It would mean that in the end, only the biggest traders will flourish while farmers and other workers will remain poor. These raiders frequently attack the six cities that are part of the Union.
-Due to the raiders, the Union supports E&B by sending some troops to guard their headquarters and caravans, at first to show goodwill. E&B does not actually cooperate with the Union, but they offer large quantities of their products for the services given by them. Since these are very expensive and useful, the Union gladly accepts this. Their relation is platonic but very effective.
-Ammunition is not very frequent and a bit expensive (this adds to the gameplay; the player now has more reason to invest in melee since close-combat saves much needed ammo).

Story: Our story starts at a small village preferably in an outer corner of Europe (The Netherlands, northern Germany perhaps or the western border of Russia. For this document we used the Netherlands as the starting point). Though it is a small town, it is very hospitable and the people work hard to strengthen their economy. Everyone knows each other, which is why the only bar is visited very well with friendly faces. After the MC is created and the game has started, the MC can be seen in a local bar which is crowded with townsfolk. An NPC is talking to the MC about a local happening or such. After a few lines of dialogue and responses, another townsperson walks in and tells the MC that GEOFF wants to see him. The player is required to meet Geoff and speak with him. This person is known very well in town and is a respected man, he is one of the political figures that tries to maintain the growth the village is experiencing at the moment. He gives the MC the first quest. He tells him to find a merchant named “Victor” who can establish new contacts with their village. This way new merchants and merchandise can be introduced to the hometown, causing a rapid growth and possibly causing other merchants to visit as well. The MC may now leave the town and find Victor at a location not yet specified.

The player is free to visit other towns and find sub quests that are taking place. To continue the main quest and storyline, it is required to visit the specific location of Victor. When visited, the player must talk to the merchant to start the conversation. Victor agrees with establishing new trade routes and contacts, if the player will help him out with one thing: they need water for their travels which can be found at a public well, controlled by friends of Victor. In this same conversation, Victor also mentions another friend of him they may visit, a trader in a big town with a lot of useful contacts. When the quest accepted, they and ten others head for the well. They arrive but notice the well-merchants are dead. Raiders stand in their place next to the dead bodies. Victor tells the MC to hide. The player has a few dialogue options but eventually is ordered by Victor to hide, for the good of the town. The screen fades out and in. The MC is placed near Victor as their conversation automatically starts. Victor tells the MC to visit the trader he mentioned and explain him what happened. This is required to continue the storyline.

(The player can also go to his hometown and talk to Geoff, he tells him to do as Victor said since Geoff wants more traders coming to the village)

When the player meets this merchant DERRICK, he is asked about the situation. At a certain moment, there is only one dialogue option explaining to Derrick that the MC was to help Victor travel. Derrick is surprised about this and suggests that the MC goes to his hometown to prepare for a possible raider-attack.

When the player does this, he must walk into Geoff’s office to continue the story. Several people stand in the room and seem to be discussing something. As the player approaches, the conversation starts. They talk about “where he has gone.” It appears that Geoff has disappeared. At the end of the conversation, the people present in the room ask the MC if he could look and ask around in other towns he visited so far, to see if he can find some information about Geoff.

From here on in the storyline will not be linear as it has been so far. There will be many sub quests that the player can clear. A few examples:
-A town is troubled by a plague of yet to be defined creatures (probably mutated) that only appear in that area. The player can help with traveling together with caravan drivers to transport resources to the troubled town (in the past their caravans have been attacked and some even disappeared). Several trips are needed to fulfill in the needs. Though after the second trip, the player arrives at the location to see a massacre. The troubled town is no more.
-A serial killer is on the loose at a big city. Over twenty prostitutes have been killed brutally. The player can solve this and find the killer. But when the player revisits the town, another prostitute has been killed.

Other occurring events/information that travels the world:
-Many women have been raped in a single town, it occasionally still happens.
-An attempt to assassinate one of the Union spokesmen failed.

But the main goal is still to find Geoff. There will be a few NPC’s who claim to know about him, but they will only help the player if he does something in favor of them. These bits and pieces of information eventually will lead to a secret location of the ‘anti E&B group’, otherwise not found. The player can either ask their leader for information about Geoff, or he can kill them all and search the place. Either way, it results in the discovery of a corpse, Geoff’s corpse. When asked about Geoff, the ‘anti E&B’ raiders explain that they found this man near their hideout, bleeding to death and holding a blood-drenched knife. He tried to speak but wasn’t able, and he shortly died after they found him. They point out the cuts on his left arm (which are made known to the player by a message in the text-interface in the bottom left if he searches the body). The cuts read “EnB”.

To reach the conclusion of the game, the player must visit E&B and find a way to infiltrate it. There are multiple paths:
-Utter violence. The player can kill way into the building.
-Diplomatic. If the player did a sub quest, he will know of an appointment a Union spokesman made with E&B. If his diplomatic skills are high enough, the player gains access.
-Joining E&B. It is possible to join E&B through a quest. Once this is done, the player will be outfitted with an E&B armor and is granted access into the building.
-Sneaking. (Path not yet defined)

Once inside, there are multiple underground levels, filled with either guards or turrets. Combative players can fight through these sections while ‘intelligent’ players can use computers to deactivate and/or reprogram the turrets to help them out. Sneak-skilled players also have a route that will be designed for them. One specific computer contains information about E&B projects, with one project called ‘BioUnit’. Another computer of the lead scientist contains a log in which is explained that their BioUnit has a flaw that has not yet been solved. Human DNA was used as a component to hold other strings of DNA together. Certain drugs make the human DNA let go, causing the BioUnit to literally fall apart. The scientists have an injection-gun with this type of drugs ready, for emergency cases. After this the player is to confront the E&B committee board so he can find out what is going on and what can be done. This starts the conversation with the board, explaining the following:

Evans & Bateman have been using cunning ways to gain control. They have so called ‘agents’ all over the continent who have been trained like the militia has. These agents have their own lives to live, but must pass information on to HQ, the key to domination. E&B uses this information to act in such a way that it is beneficial to themselves. Their goal is to create a new world, as good or even better than the pre-war one, a world with a strong economy. This means money and power to them. But while creating this world, they want to make sure that they remain on top all the time. They want the world to be predictable to them so they can calculate al the economic factors and act upon them. Numerous events/facts prove their power.
-Ammunition is a bit scarce and expensive, it’s not really easy to acquire. E&B caused this, they prevent many arms-trades by hiring raiders to destroy the caravans. Weapons mean violence, and violence within a country does not advance the economy, to them it’s just a short-term race of muscle display that leads to nothing.
-There was a town troubled by a plague of creatures, they asked for resources to solve this. E&B took over some caravans, but the town kept asking for more resources, so E&B decided this was a waste of time and money and they believed the town should be destroyed.
-Many prostitutes were murdered in one town. This was planned by E&B. There were too many prostitutes, causing the prices to drop more and more. One of the brothel owners is an E&B agent and he proposed to kill off some prostitutes (mostly from rival brothels and pimps, but also some of his own) so the demand would increase, as would the prices.
-The rapists that savaged the women in one certain town, were hired by E&B. The population was stagnate so it was beneficial for the town to have more children.
-Geoff was an E&B agent. His mission was to provide information about the hometown of the MC so E&B could direct him, helping him to improve the local economy. He sent the MC to help Victor, but the MC could not prevent Victor from being killed. So Geoff failed in establishing contacts with merchants. The MC reported this to Derrick, also an E&B agent. Geoff did not know about him, he might’ve known that the MC was ordered by Victor to report to a friend, but he never got a name. Derrick found out about the failure of Geoff, reported this to HQ and they decided to kill him. He fled and tried to hide. Before he was killed, he carved “EnB” into his own arm, hoping someone might find our what happened to him.

The player can ask questions to the board of directors if he wants to know more about “why they are doing this” and such. The members of the board explain how they want to create a new world with a strong economy, a world with a future. “We are the new world” one even says. The player can either choose to agree with them, joining their cause, or can choose to rebel (perhaps even kill the board members). When trying to escape, the BioUnit is unleashed upon him, forcing him to fight the ‘final boss’. This boss is a biological weapon, an experiment using multiple 'creatures' mixed together to create a hybrid.

Ending 1: player joins E&B and becomes a high-ranked member of the militia. The MC is displayed serving E&B, long term plans are executed as they always have.

Ending 2: the BioUnit is destroyed and explodes, starting a fire. The building bursts into flames as the player escapes. The MC wanders off into the wasteland.

I'm posting additional info in here, just to clear some stuff up:

We (SH and me) still need to think of more sub quests involving E&B and there's a lot more details we need to work out, but I thought this was worth showing.

Also, this can easily be placed within America.

Finally, I have an idea how to link this a tad with the original Fallout without copyright/license problems, but I can't say that within the 'document' for obvious legal reasons. But my way of linking the stories a tiny bit, was the following: E&B could but be another branch in the organization of the West Tek research facility, the facility that was the first to experiment with the FEV virus in Mariposa (Fallout Bible). West Tek also caused the creation of The Brotherhood of Steel (BoS found West Tek ruins after the Great War and used the technology they found, alsof from the Fallout Bible). Some of the research about an 'advanced armor' or something like that may be found within their building. If it takes place in America, some scientists from E&B could very well join BoS after ending 2.

This link is a possibility as long as we don't use terms like "Brotherhood of Steel". West Tek we could call West Tech. Something less subtle is possible as well, but we'll have to be real careful about that.

Anyway, the link is just a minor detail. I hope you like the storyline in general.

Have fun reading it,

-K

EDIT: Important thing I didn't mention is how this plays. It's pretty much the same as Fallout, once things get started you can do whatever you want and you can continue the story at anytime. I've written it in the doc itself a couple of times, but I'm just saying it here again to remind everyone.

[thirtyfive]

Wow. It's so long and detailed I got really really lost reading through it.
Ok so the main plot is to find Geof, and i got lost there. Why do we have to find Geof again?

I think this should be in an out-lined format with less detail. It'll be much easier to understand and follow. Once we have a basic understanding of the plot, then details can be thrown in. I'm just lost in a sea of words. lol.

for example:
Main plot - Find Geof
- Who kidnaped him and why.
- Why must the MC find him?
- What must the MC do in order to find Geof.
- Any other twists or sub plots attached to the main plot.

[jgwolfgram]

I think it sounds good so far, we've got the makings of a good storyline. I dont think we'd be breaking any laws, but if need be, I'll get some professional advise - just to make sure.

[K]

It appears that Geoff has disappeared. At the end of the conversation, the people present in the room ask the MC if he could look and ask around in other towns he visited so far, to see if he can find some information about Geoff.

But the main goal is still to find Geoff. There will be a few NPC’s who claim to know about him, but they will only help the player if he does something in favor of them. These bits and pieces of information eventually will lead to a secret location of the ‘anti E&B group’, otherwise not found.* The player can either ask their leader for information about Geoff, or he can kill them all and search the place. Either way, it results in the discovery of a corpse, Geoff’s corpse. When asked about Geoff, the ‘anti E&B’ raiders explain that they found this man near their hideout, bleeding to death and holding a blood-drenched knife. He tried to speak but wasn’t able, and he shortly died after they found him. They point out the cuts on his left arm (which are made known to the player by a message in the text-interface in the bottom left if he searches the body). The cuts read “EnB”.

*These are sub quests not yet defined.

Here's the mix-up, I forgot to mention Derrick also is an E&B agent. So having that in mind:

-Geoff was an E&B agent. His mission was to provide information about the hometown of the MC so E&B could direct him, helping him to improve the local economy. He sent the MC to help Victor, but the MC could not prevent Victor from being killed. So Geoff failed in establishing contacts with merchants. The MC reported this to Derrick. Geoff did not know about him, he might’ve known that the MC was ordered by Victor to report to a friend, but he never got a name. Derrick found out about the failure of Geoff, reported this to HQ and they decided to kill him. He fled and tried to hide. Before he was killed, he carved “EnB” into his own arm, hoping someone might find our what happened to him.

In short, E&B has long term plans. They do whatever they believe is necessary to create a strong new world with an economy that will last a long time. Geoff was one of their agents but he messed up which got him killed. MC simply gets mixed up in this.

EDIT: Fixed the storyline

[nology5890]

My suggestion for the raider attack, is to make it non-linear in an aspect of it - it should happen at a predetermined date, and it will happen whether you are in the town at the time or not.
If you're there, you will either be a). alone, or b). with some NPCs to help back up the defense. If you miss it, it will either a). destroy the town, ending the game, or b). damage the town to a certain extent, forcing you to find people willing to help repair what was destroyed.
This will be a roll, based on your Luck skill, with a handicap to make the town more likely to survive, but with enough danger to keep the player wanting to protect the town. I'll come up with other ideas, but this one jumped out at me.

Disclaimer: This idea is based in no way on any quest ideas for TES IV This came all out of my own head, just to witness the raider attack, instead of keeping it a static event that happens.

[K]

Well, the raider-attack on the village really isn't that important. I've written it assuming the attack does not occur at all since the player arrives at his hometown and is to visit the office of Geoff. Derrick just thought the raiders might attack. So that really, really isn't important. It's about the plot and how the story would feel like and eventually work for the player. So if you discover plot-holes or anything that you don't understand, please say so, then I can elaborate or fix it. The technicalities will come in due time.

It is rather unclear and I know that, I rushed this to show it because me and scaredhelmet thought it was pretty good. There are many more details SH and I spoke about that are not in this document, but I'll organize it properly and make sure every detail we thought of will be clear.

[¬me]

Heh, nice story! I like the beginning in that pub. Though it would not be like the beginnings of Fallout. These were kinda weird, I mean starting as a vault dweller with a mission to get a watership, or as a savage of some tribe in the wasteland to find some guy named vic oO
This one sounds more like mad max to me ^^
Actually I don't like the huge taste of economic and trade, thats far to much for me :/
The thing with the raiders is cool, Id really like to see more raider organizations and raiders at all.
The idea with the Union is rather cool, though Id like to see it more in the beginning of it, that there are still cities who are not in this union and the PC can actually do quests to raise or lower the development of the union to get more cities into it i.e. There should be more tense between the union and other cities and cities at all.
The EnB thing is rather interesting, nice idea. Is that the company where Pat Bateman works btw? ^^
Quests and stuff is really something which could be done later, though having some main direction is good really.

[K]

Thanks for commenting and actually liking so much of it ^_^

Actually I don't like the huge taste of economic and trade, thats far to much for me :/

Well, now it sounds like everything's based around economics and trade because E&B and the Union are, and that's all I've written about in this very early and rushed draft. But that's not what it's about and the player won't experience it that way. But I'll elaborate on this later on.

The thing with the raiders is cool, Id really like to see more raider organizations and raiders at all.

Well, I didn't write about it, but there sure is more of that. Next to the anti E&B raiders and the AU, there's one 'clan' called The Sand Skulls who think they're pretty rough. The player can either do quests for these groups or do quests 'against them' (meaning 'doing quests for their rivals). If a player does quests for both the Union and the AU, and is caught at that by one of both, then there'll be hell to pay. And I even thought of a little 'conspiracy'-ish thing with the raiders and the Union, but I only wrote the bare essentials, the main story itself.

The idea with the Union is rather cool, though Id like to see it more in the beginning of it, that there are still cities who are not in this union and the PC can actually do quests to raise or lower the development of the union to get more cities into it i.e. There should be more tense between the union and other cities and cities at all.

That's a good idea about the development of cities to get into the Union. And about the Union-storu: there is more of that. The player can do and see more of that. I mentioned the Union-raider conspiracy thingy, well that's one big part. Another part is a storyline about one of the spokesmen from the committee, he secretly deals with E&B. This guy hands all the political info and the entire agenda from the Union to E&B on a monthly basis. Not because he is against the Union or to be a spy for E&B, he simply agrees with Evans & Bateman but he also likes the Union. He does what he thinks is best for his people. This story will also have a nice conclusion.

Is that the company where Pat Bateman works btw? ^^

XD lol
Scaredhelmet and me at first called E&B "the evil party" at first, due to a lack of whatever. But when I wrote it we needed a cool name. So I was like Evans & ...
And SH couldn't think of anything. After a while he said "Bateman" and we laughed, but it sounds cool though. So yeah, kudos for noticing. But names can be changed, nothing is defined as I mentioned at the beginning of the topic.

Closing words: there really is more to it and I have thought of a lot which I'm going to write today/tomorrow, and I'll see how much I can do. I said it before and to be sure I'll say it again, I merely wrote the main story itself. Compare it with "player walks into necropolis, grabs chip, goes into military base and does the boom-stuff, then goes to the cathedral and kills the Master - THE END." Now it sounds economic because I explained all the economic details, but there is more story within it and there are more quests/adventures I haven't written. I politely ask everyone to be patient so I can show that as well.

Also, what E&B and their idea is about, is really a philosophical question. It's long term versus short term. Majority versus minority. They really believe what they are doing is best for everyone, and perhaps it is. E&B thinks years and years into the future and they want the majority to flourish... even at the cost of certain minorities. And I would very much like to see these two 'philosophical clashes' more often in the game at sub quests and maybe other storylines as well. In the end it is up to the player to decide what he believes is right or wrong.

So there ya have it. It might've been better if I took another day or two to write it all, but I'm going to do that the coming days at least. Keep comments and questions coming.

[egalor]

Good lob, Keono, I liked it.

Disliked and not understood:
1. Much job, has to be done to develop it, make it clearer and richer in details.

2. Also, the main plot might need to be a bit longer.

3. The beginning of the story is far too straightforward and leaves no difference between the MC's alignment, whether he wants to be good or bad or something in between.

4. I doubt raping women is a well founded idea to boost the population growth. Something other should be introduced, like using chemicals or genetic research - something even more sinister than sex.

5. I don't think bar is a good place to start the adventure. I don't agree either with BIS idea of combating ants at the early stages of the game, but first we have to let MC wander a little while, without letting him the main plot. Let him think that some routine "fetch/kill" quest is the beginning of something bigger. And only some time after, he would be contacted by right (yet unknown) people and actually get invloved. In other words, the fact that this current plot is actually "main" should remain unknown for the MC, for some time at least.

6. If E&B is a rather powerful entity (at the very least a force to be reckoned with) why is it referred to as the "small corporate business"? Why is it so small? The law of the genre requires that it should be something bigger but well concealed (forgive me for being a bit too much cliched), like the top of an iceberg.

7. The second part is actually pretty much straightforward - when it comes to infiltrating one E&B HQ and accessing the computer, containing all the data. Perhaps this info should be gathered bits by bits in holodiscs, through false leads and prolonged investigations all across the world map? And only then the question of backed-up confronting E&B should arise.

Here's what I liked.
1. I liked that Geoff turned to be the E&B associate, and a few events are too linked to E&B's machinations. Quite unexpected, and that's exactly what we need.

2. Of course I liked the different endings, however:
there are only two,
they come up in the end,
don't actually give any possibility for the MC to manifest his "shades of grey" within his character, only good or bad.

That's it. ANy comments on the above? Besides, with Keono's approval I might edit the story a bit, and maybe combine it with dunkelheit's script (with the latter's permission too)

[K]

Thank you for commenting so extensively! I'll respond in all honesty:

1. Much job, has to be done to develop it, make it clearer and richer in details.

This I know. I do have more details and adventurous plotlines that do not involve the main story, but I wanted to show my main storyline. I'm kinda regretting of rushing this, but me and Scaredhelmet were in a bar when creating this and we really liked the idea so in all my enthusiasm I quickly wrote this. I still have conspiracies involving the Union, some raiders and some maffia families that I haven't written, and more plots like that... but not written down. Next time I'll steer clear from posting until I've done everything

2. Also, the main plot might need to be a bit longer.

Might be, but think of all the quests that need to be done before the player can reach the end. That's more than Fallout 1. The player must visit Vic, then find Geoff by finding evidence (through quests not yet defined) so that he will find a secret location of a certain group of raiders (secret as in: vault 13 with Fallout 2). There he finds the body of Geoff with directs him to E&B which then needs to be infriltraded. In the first Fallout you can pretty much run straight for the Master and the Military Base. In Fallout 2 you can go straight for San Fran and Mariposa, and eventually the Enclave. I'm not saying that it may not be any longer or anything, we can always add more, but I'm just pointing out that the Fallout games didn't really have humongous main plotlines that took 40+ hours. The key to Fallout was the invitation of travel and adventure. Give the player a good NPC or sidequest, and he'll stray off the path, building a Wasteland personality.

3. The beginning of the story is far too straightforward and leaves no difference between the MC's alignment, whether he wants to be good or bad or something in between.

I take it you mean that he is required to help his town? Because if so, that's the exact same thing as in part 1 and 2. We actually thought of this by thinking of the first two parts. But we can understand it if a more neutral approach is wanted.

4. I doubt raping women is a well founded idea to boost the population growth. Something other should be introduced, like using chemicals or genetic research - something even more sinister than sex.

Indeed, there might be better ways. We can alter that. E&B could experiment on the water of this town, or on something else that could turn the women pregnant.

5. I don't think bar is a good place to start the adventure. I don't agree either with BIS idea of combating ants at the early stages of the game, but first we have to let MC wander a little while, without letting him the main plot. Let him think that some routine "fetch/kill" quest is the beginning of something bigger. And only some time after, he would be contacted by right (yet unknown) people and actually get invloved. In other words, the fact that this current plot is actually "main" should remain unknown for the MC, for some time at least.

I really like the idea of stalling the story by giving the player another quest or two/three/four. So he could start somewhere else to do something irrelevant, then the player is not certain when the main story will start. But I think the start of the main story (Geoff asking if the player can find Victor) should remain intact. Geoff is essential to this story. He is part of E&B and gets ratted out by Derrick (also from E&B) for failing his mission... GIVEN by E&B. That was one of the main aspects, to make the player feel insignificant and small.

6. If E&B is a rather powerful entity (at the very least a force to be reckoned with) why is it referred to as the "small corporate business"? Why is it so small? The law of the genre requires that it should be something bigger but well concealed (forgive me for being a bit too much cliched), like the top of an iceberg.

Then I don't agree with the law of the genre =P
E&B just does business with some towns and is known for being thriving. But it's not Microsoft or anything. Healing and boosting drugs are good products, but many can't afford it, so they don't rule the world with their business. Compare it with the Gun Runners mixed with the Brotherhood. It's as big as the Gun Runners and does a comparable amount of business (more actually), and it has the same 'underground' style of headquarters with its own militia. I think if it's really big, the player will suspect them and I would really hate that. It should be a surprise for the player. E&B wants to remain in the dark so they can rule from the shadows. And rule they do! As someone once said:"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."

7. The second part is actually pretty much straightforward - when it comes to infiltrating one E&B HQ and accessing the computer, containing all the data. Perhaps this info should be gathered bits by bits in holodiscs, through false leads and prolonged investigations all across the world map? And only then the question of backed-up confronting E&B should arise.

You are correct about this, this part was rushed even more since SH and I never really thought of this, I quickly made it up to create an ending. So do with this whatever you want, as long as the conversation with the E&B board of directors is in it... and I think a bossfight of some sorts would be cool too.

2. Of course I liked the different endings, however:
there are only two,
they come up in the end,
don't actually give any possibility for the MC to manifest his "shades of grey" within his character, only good or bad.

I haven't thought of more endings, but more of that is always good. And just for the record: there is no such thing as good or bad. And that is not how the player is supposed to experience it. If it weren't for the fact that the mutants were impotent, I'd say the Master's plan was a good thing. I would join E&B, in the game and in real life because it's just a matter of opinion, not 'good or evil'. But philosophy aside, I'll try and see what other endings can be created.

I'm currently working on a clarifying version of my story, which will include other plots, characters and developments not mentioned in the first document. I'm working on it, I'll try to post it ASAP.

And thanks again for commenting!

[egalor]

Besides, Keono, what do you think of dunkelheit's script? Do you think it might be useful for us?

[K]

I read most of it and I really like how it's very detailed. But we just can't use it, it's all literally from the first two Fallouts which is now all in the ownership of Bethesda, the game-killing machine. Dunkelheit could use all original material for newly created towns in our new setting, but anything that's directly connected to the original Fallout is a no-go. We'd be killed before we could get this off the ground. And I don't wanna give Bethsoft that... fukken' bastards.

hmm...for some reason, I can't go on to page two...maybe there is no page two?? I am tired so I do not know. I know that hat you said is a rough outline, but we need more in depth length. That's nice that we need traders to the town, but in the original you-know-whats (i am using that term because even if Beth ever catches a whiff of being able to slam us to the ground, they will), there was a great and immediate peril to the community. Granted, I don't want anything too drastic, but something that gives us more of a drive. good ideas, though!.
P.S. is that your own corporation that you made?? "Keono Productions©" If so, Kudos!
P.P.S. If we are really making a game, a marketable game, is having an open forum the best thing?? having opinions is great, but you should really choose a tram of people in this community that you have regular contact with and can trust to make the game based on (though not entirely) our opinions. That way,when it comes out, people won't just find this site and not get the game. just a suggestion, though.
