Drivable cars in city/encounters
Lizard:
Encounters yes, cities no.
I was thinking about encounters designed for cars, as some motorized raiders encounter the car and pursue it.
And that's how it should work:
The encounter resembles a static map, with the road and static car in the middle, surrounded by static raiders on bikes, basically, as if you were driving on a road, with raiders following you.
The map is drawn to suggest speed, with blurry tiles, with one road.
To imitate movement, particles, like cacti, stones, car wrecks, road cracks, posts, are zooming by in one direction, technically, like projectiles sprites. (NorthEast)
Then, the driver is a part of the car, with Action Points. They can be spent to move the car to the SouthWest, to the escape area, or, to the Raiders in the NorthEast, so his passengers can shoot them.
The car can move those two directions, or, change between three lanes, which consumes APs, too.
Ocassionally, a obstacle warning will appear, demanding the driver to change the lane.
That will depend on his "driver skill" and draw the car' HP if the maneouver was unsuccesful, also, adding AP to the pursuers.
This is more easier solution than developing all these things we saw in Tactics AND it will be original.
Andr3aZ:
This is a nice idea Lizard!
But i think it will be a bit of work to implement, and that means something like that will only make it in the game if our development guys are really into some idea like that.
And yeah, someone might come up with "there never have been bikes or raiders on bikes in fallout! this is not falloutish!"
Grommok:
I dont think it's not falloutish. After all Fallout was inspired (apart from Wasteland) by Mad Max, and in Mad Max there was raiders with bikes. Since broken bikes are in the game, this would also give the possibility to add new quest to obtain special vehicles, like bikes with miniguns, or to add the possibility to mod vehicles. Why not? Theorically any vehicle "is not falloutish"

This maybe sounds nice on the paper, but will look too artificial and dull in reality. Also, have fun doing hundreds of new tiles just for this small new feauture. It's not worth the effort.
