Fallout: Rock Collector Playthrough
MrWillsauce:
Disclaimer: I am a hardened Fallout veteran. I have played every game in the series (besides Tactics and that one shitty console-exclusive spinoff) through several times. I will be doing some unorthodox things in this playthrough. If you notice me playing sub-optimally, please do not tell me what I'm doing wrong. I know what I'm doing, I'm just choosing to disregard my prior knowledge for the purpose of fun. That said, don't hesitate to post things you'd like to see me do and give me critical feedback for things that aren't related to my in-game tactics.
What this is: I will fully be playing through the original (not counting Wasteland) Fallout. While doing this, I will be following a certain stipulation: I will collect as many rocks throughout the game as I possibly can. I will also probably beat the game, but the rock thing is more important. I also plan on doing various silly things and in general not taking the game too seriously. All through my experience I will be documenting my thoughts, decisions, and posting screenshots to accompany them.
So, let's begin play!
Introduction
If you for some insane reason have never played Fallout, you might want to watch the introduction here. In a nutshell: the world's fucked and war never changes. Also vaults. Ron Perlman has a sexy voice.
Character
So here he is:
Mister Fister is a burly martial artist with a strange fascination for absurdly large weapons. He also has a strong throwing arm (so we can get some use out of those rocks!). Despite his brutish appearance, Fister has a decent intellect and good observation skills. He is however not very flexible, and he is also hideously ugly. For added fun, I gave him Bloody Mess, along with Heavy Handed for practicality. Now, the overseer wants to speak with us. Let's go see what he's got to say.
IT BEGINS
*Cutscene*
In a nutshell: those fools at Vault Tec only gave Vault 13 one water chip (the thing that's extremely fragile, but is essential to the survival of everyone in the vault). It's a wonder we lasted this long. Anyway, we have to go out into the brave new world and find another one. The Overseer says Vault 15's a good place to start looking. I bet there's rocks there too, so let's go!
Urg, that stupid repainting issue that happens when you try to run Fallout on a current machine is plaguing me. Basically, the screen turns black every 5 seconds and doesn't repaint the image that's mean to be displayed until I open another screen (such as the character sheet or help screen). I remember this happening the last time I played Fallout, but it happened every 5-10 minutes or so, so it was bearable. But this is completely unplayable. I'll try to work this out and continue playing, but right now it's late and I must rest. Sorry this wasn't much of a first episode, but I hadn't anticipated this and I'm certainly not going to delete the post at this point.
Heron TSG:
Is the premise that rocks are both the goal and means of this adventure? I can dig it.
mainiac:
Living in a vault his whole life our hero has probably never even seen a rock. He sure must have some stones to go seek them out.
Fikes:
4 agility!!!!!!!!
This will be excellent.
Also you get extra internets for links to cut scenes. PTW.
