"War... War never changes..."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkBNKa2KXZE - Fallout 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNKUfk-MgJw - Fallout 2
Everyone remember those magical words read by Ron Perlman in intro for both Fallouts. So... If there would be such intro for FO:2238, what would it look like? What words could be hear? Thats subject of this contest. Only one thing that monologue needs is:
- it must start from phrase "War... War never changes."
- it must include ", but war never changes", "in 2238" phrases.
- it should be possible to read it in about 1:30 minute (though its not strict rule, text just shouldnt be too short nor too long).
- and of course it should be somehow related to FO:2238.
If you want to participate just send your script to me by PM. As topic of it write "Monologue scrip entry". Contest starts from now, and will end at 9th of January 20:00 PM (CET). All reasonable entries will be made public and winner will be decided by public voting.
This idea isnt supported by dev-team and there arent any rewards. But maybe some talented movie-maker would have will to create such infro for FO:2238? Who knows. Lets just make something creative.

..This idea isnt supported by dev-team..
So.. how we can even know that we need intro for 2238, if devs don't support it?
-
this is something i have to participate
i got an ideea for a prize: the winner will have his voice at the movie that will folow

Yup - such thing isnt planned to be implemented in client... Still... Its only about doing something creative, doesnt it?
-
"GM abuse, gm abuse never changes" :P
or
"suffering... suffering NEVAR changes" ;)
this is something that's showing true nature of 2238 and definetely should be included into that text, imo.
-
yes, we are in to
WHO WANNA MAKE A COLAB?
-
"GM abuse, gm abuse never changes" :P
or
"suffering... suffering NEVAR changes" ;)
this is something that's showing true nature of 2238 and definetely should be included into that text, imo.
Maybe "Doors... Doors are there -->" fit too...
And please stop making mess in this thread.
-
What I can say to this:
1. We have no intro (and most likely will never have), so the text wouldn't be played on game start.
2. It would still be nice to have a good text for
- the website
- moddb profile
- if the manual might be overworked some day
- to fill up the wiki.
- because it's cool.
3. If the text is cool, the dev-team will support it in some kind of way.
4. ???
5. Profit.

5. Profit.
No profit as I see it.

HUH? :o
Why script needed for 2238 if events of Fallout 2 soon to come?

I lost all my faith in human ability of understanding written words...
-
So ive read it myself and recorded me. If pronounced and timed at the right parts it gets a real good mood. takes roughly 85 seconds to read at normal speed.
I wont show my recordings because im clearly not a voiceactor.
Feel free to correct my english. Im just back home from the spanish liquor bar >: )

Nice, but you need to send it via pm to enter contest.
Beside I rather wouldnt want to post any entry before 9th of January (I dont want to see wave of copied entries, or to discourage anyone), so it would be great if you would remove it. Thanks.
-
As you wish. I dont mind about any contest, just some brainstorming and sharing of thoughts. But oh well ill give it a try.
-
Here's one:
"War... war never changes."
This is good monologue yes? It's simple because since TC seems to be the main point of game and why would you want some long, boring and overdrawn back story when you can pickup a LSW and mow people down amirite?
except here's the catch,
"But with new cloning technology from an unknown entity, the rules of war have now changed. We can support an unlimited ammount of power builds to rule the wasteslands. Man has finally conquered death."
And next you do closeup of Vederas's chest as the camera pans to a bunch of blue suits lying critically wounded.
-
Please stop trollin' here. As I part today I hope than in meanwhile there will be some more entries.
-
I really like this idea. Though I'm not an authorr at all I will come up with something later. Well, iif it comes down to it I could also write and record a theme/intro song but I don't see it happening anytime soon anyway :-\
-

Y0ssarian might be trolling but he also has a point. The game is everything but what fallout games were all about right now. If you want a cool intro monologue that promises nostalgic fallout adventures, the game better offer them first. What I'm saying is that fonline doesn't deserve that legendary intro monologue yet.

While I fully agree with you on the bold part of the quote, I want to add that a big part of what makes an online game is the playerbase. If everyone would play the game in a sane way everything would look different, so don't dismiss this thread yet.
What I also want to add is, that "War.. War never changes" bores people to death and lost it's meaning long time ago. It feels not really good having that in the monologue just because.
-

Many players don't deserve the game.

Which has been said often, but has nothing to do with this thread.
-

Agree much with you Lexx.
Many players don't even know "Fallout" game serie itself, but still playing because can PK other players that really liked to play 2238.
-

well, if you put "War has changed" in there, you'd be referencing Metal Gear Solid 4 so I think it's better to stay with the original quote. :P
-

That is because there is no "story" in fonline. I mean the dialogues of the NPCs are really great, gotta say that, but basically all gaming experience is player driven and we all know that would be mostly lololoPKs.
I could talk for hours about fallout 1 & 2 and their story and the whole "if you dont talk to EVERYONE and visit EVERY place you miss 80% of the what made the game so popular amongst roleplayers because today a rpgs story is presented to the player on a silver tablet because gaming should be a 10 hour entertainment snack and not something to enjoy and dive into a phantasie world." But yes, you might already thinking this is so offtopic and yes indeed it is offtopic like the whole "fallouty" discussion started by some of our usual suspects, so lets leave this thread to skewjens little contest. should be over soon anyway.

"Multiplayer games... multiplayer games never change.
since the dawn of internet and the first online games, players had an option to act stupid without consequences.
most decieded just to roleplay idiots, others chose being racist.
yet there were few, who believed that is not right. today, they are known as true roleplayers.
in the year 2238.... you, a simple wastelander, have a great task given to you from your noble ancestors. you have to kill whats left of these people and type 'lol noob' after they're dead..."
maybe not 100% true, but it fits the atmosphere :)

Ha ;D Niiiiiice.... :)
P.s. They also are likely to say "doing a pee on a corpse" or something like that.
-
Well, I spit on your grave. All for lulz, definitely.
Btw: from my experience, it's the corpses who often say "lol noob". Ironic, isn't it?
-
I sent mine in. I personally think it is really good :) but it may be a bit over the time limit. It talks about the war a little bit and then about the game world and factions! I can make revisions as necessary.
-
Ok - Just to remind everyone - only one week left.
There are few applies already, but Its always good to have some more.
-
Hah, I've sent mine to. I hope that not too late...
