Title: Less cynicism
Post by: Phallus Erectus on February 22, 2013, 07:13:59 am
KKK Clearly talking hasn't helped.

All I ask is to start with better equipment and more points in a few skills, namely the killing ones.

Oh man. Not a suggestion? What is it? A demand?

Laughable.

Part of the point is keep the "Wasteland" in the PvP. Also some of us like the hardcore game-play.

Yeah, do the wasteland tent quest, get your BB gun, and bugger off....

My point was that the "Wasteland" is hardcore gay.

Why the fuck would I, a roleplayer, for once not being locked to some gay vault or tribespeople, want to start testing my wits in the wastes with a pack of cigs, maybe a meat jerky, and a fucking flar? Also, why am I physically retarded, where did those 30 plus years go when I was STILL wandering! Fuck you, God!

If your a Roleplayer, think of your background yourself. Maybe you were an android that just got powered up. Maybe you just stopped taking conventional training as a doctor and decided to go out and heal the wastes...

But these things really don't have any bearing on the mechanics. If you want a level 24 character, make it your damn self. If you want a bozar, go out ans get it.

Just because you incompetent or perhaps simply don't understand the game, don't "demand" a game change. Its just darn silly.

answer is simple. the builds generated at higher lvls would be as ridicolous as companions has. would take forever you to create good character. longer than lvling it up from lvl 1st.

Well I was thinking it would merely give you free levels and you would allocate all the SPECIAL, skills, and traits afterwards.

I for one, if was a GM, would grant his inane request!  I would give hime lvl 24 AND a Bozar!  Then immediately whisk him off to prison, never to see the daylight of the wastes again!

 Now make me a Genie!

(if OH GOD starting at level 6, man why not 24?(really why not)

   im suprised you dont get more enjoyment out of just playing the game for what it is.  if you dont like to level up, why play an RPG?  why not just play call of duty?
Title: Re: Less cynicism

where else can you do roleplay except rpg games? not in call of duty im sure.

"Oh ma god dis is soooo gay why do i gots 2 do stuf 2 mak jit in dis gaaaaay game?!?!" basically all I got out of your shitty post. By the way the dictionary definition of gay is something like "Happy and Joyful" so put it together.

Use alts to make a supply base- then give stuff to your new RP Character.
Some of that stuff would be crafting materials to get the first few levels.


Then: pretend none of that happened and just start playing with your new character as if it started off that way.

Maybe not all of the information concerning all aspects of starting over in this game are easy to find. Though you have a Q&A topic, you have the wiki and ofc you have your brain (i guess). If you really start as "Roleplayer" then you shouldn't have that much problems to get some low tier gear in the beginning. I assume you don't "roleplay" a retarted old man, so your IN and CH will be at least at a level where you can do some quests in the beginning.

These starter quests will get your character at least to level 3. It isn't really hard to do them and you will get some basic armor and weapon:

Cigarettes for Buster (http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Buy_cigarettes_for_Buster)
Metzgers Briefcase (http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Bring_Little_Jesus_Mordino%27s_briefcase_to_Metzger)
GR delivery (http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/The_Gun_Runner_Delivery)

Also there's a new one to get your own tent (http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/A_Tent_in_the_Wasteland).

Hey, bro, read the dfucking topic title.

Now, I'm done dikkk wagging. I never asked for this:


All I ever wanted was a life, not inside a vault and not with some dumbass tribe, who I aint even related to.
Why does the only online Fallout game need to have such limited character roleplaying? READ: the bginning to ever character in this game is the same and they are all newbs(literally, no fucking skills to start with).

Ok, you don't spawn with a mauser and some leather jacket. But what's your point, then?

You don't start with gear and any background. This might not be the way to start the game you thought of but unfortunatly it's the case.

I mean, if you have any suggestion like "Spawn noobs with guns and roleplay-background" , why don't post it in suggestion-board then? Beside this, use your mind! If you are really into roleplay and such i'm sure there are some people, willing to help you if you want to start a project or something.

Uh, you choose what skills you have at start and you can expand upon them, the beginning is what it is, beginning.

The game is not limited in regard of role-playing aspect, I don't think any game can be. I think you are limited.

I know what you're saying, the whole alt support network of this game probably wouldn't be as pronounced if the quest content wasn't so weak. Players could get some unique bonuses / penalties for how they like to play; heck it wouldn't hurt to have a mini-barter window to customize your starting equipment right out the front gate (Example: A hunting rifle, some .22, and stimpak)

Only problem I have with it is the lack of quests (there's not enough. not there aren't any) and starting equipment being a bit shit. Yeah, you can't start with a combat shotgun, 200 shells and metal armor, not the best equipment but you see what I mean. But that's part of it. I chose to roleplay myself and make it up as I go along.
My latest character is a slaver and a childkiller. I play the game "as me", meaning when I type something out, it's me saying, it I am not pretending to be anyone, and when I make game choices it's more to benefit my character rather than "what would blah blah do"?

But I made up my own background. My character is my age, so he's a young adult. Using my interactions with other players I decided he'd been abused and lied to often by other wastelanders and snapped one day. He encountered a family working on their farm in a rage after being beaten half to death and having his possessions by everyone he encountered, he thought "Why the fuck should I be the nice guy?". He killed the children and enslaved the family, only to sell to Metzger later on. Later, he found out about the raiders after running jobs for Metzger and joined up with them, killing and enslaving anyone he can.

You start off with a blank slate. Make it up as you go along. The best kind of roleplay is one you make yourself.
It'd be shit if you had to choose from "Vault dweller/tribal/settler" backgrounds and choose different paths in a slow as fuck, drawn out intro part of the game like every other MMO out there.
You start with nothing and are no one. Then you can make it up how you want, when you want.
Fuck it, my first character was a miner, someone who worked the NCR mines and sold the ore and minerals in bulk to other players and I FUCKING LOVED IT.

Just do it yourself. Gamers who demand everything on a plate aren't gamers at all.
