Title: Cash maybe?
Post by: Vaults on July 14, 2012, 06:55:13 pm
 Alright, there should be some cash in FOnline: 2238 that plays as a second currency for the player himself. Not that I am getting this idea off Fallout: New Vegas but there is a dialogue that says that buying a beer is atleast "100 bucks" while your character replies "10 caps?" and he doesn't want it. Since bucks survived during the post-apocalyptic activity, there should be atleast some currency around the environment to atleast get your hands on. Something close to pre-war money from Fallout 3 and bucks from Fallout: New Vegas but abit more different like having a different design, how much it is in caps, amounts in rare encounters, how much you can deal with it in NPC conversations and so forth. I know this will take some time to be scripted into the game but it's just a suggestion that popped in my mind during in-game time.

 Any opinions at all?

Just read more about first Fallout games...
 Fallout 3 is completely different story. These games were made by different  people (Fallout 2 by Black Isle Studios and Fallout 3 by Bethesda Softworks). You will never see bucks in FOnline 2238.

In fallout 2 you could find something similar to paper money in Redding.

Fallout 1 had caps
Fallout 2 had money, morningstar mine script, kokoweef mine script, and you can find bottlecaps.

We actually thought about adding different currencies in various towns. The idea still stands, but doesn't have any priority right now. It's just a minor detail, but requires quite a lot work to feel good, so... Maybe some day.

Any differences will happen, we'll need another ways to get this cash from other towns , though new alts will be need, and so on...
I think we do not need different currencies, but advantages and disadvantages in towns, ex:
Modoc - Cheap materials (pelts and hides, fruits, fibers, wood), Expensive : guns , armors and ammo (so they'll buy it for a nice price), and instead of that there would be another city which is in lack of materials, but got guns (like LA or Necro etc.)
But that is another story ;_;.

i think that some player enjoying trading more than pvp and pve

for example prev session it was possible to earn stuff/caps by trading stuff with different merchants

Maybe set different currencies in different regions like:everything north of NCR(including NCR) uses gold coins(except Redding) and everything south of it uses caps.
By this i mean gold coins or caps or scripts spawn in merchants inventories but they all have the same value everywhere (cap=1$ coin=2$ script=5)
