If you actually lived in fallout, how would you survive?

[Frungy]

I'd fortify a building with turrets, traps and other automated defenses... and then live in a small shack next door selling ammo and equipment to scavengers and merchants who come to plunder the legendary treasure in the fortress next door... of course the ammo and weapons I sell would be scalvenged from all those who died trying to make it in. I'd be the affable old guy who tells misleading stories that get people just far enough in to guarantee they don't wreck the defenses too much before they get in a position to be trapped and killed with the minimum of fuss.

... why yes I am a bit of a bastard, but it would be a dog-eats-dog world and I'm determined that everyone should think I'm a mouse right until I kill them.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I think I'll go S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
It's short for:
Scavanger, Trespasser, Advanturer, Loner, Killer, Explorer, Robber.

Spoiler

Yeah, took it off TVTropes

It pretty much sums up your job in Fallout.

 

[Stuntcrab]

I would get as many guns as possible and then wage war with everything. Like literally attack everything i see.

You know that means grass and unharmable doors right?

 

[Om Nom Nom]

I'd hunt Radscorpions, and other animals for materials. Then make a partnership with someone that can make armour and sell Scorpion Plate Armour? with them.

Because it'd be awesome, and fairly profitable.

Edit: On deathclaws... Surely you could give them some meat to placidate them. Like any other predator, they'd go for the easier meal rather than the one that can hurt them. I'd probably try to domesticate one. No one would screw with someone with a Deathclaw as a pet.

 

[Jaranja]

I'd just get a bunch of people and chill.

 

[PureChaos]

i doubt i'd survive whatever the situation

 

[Brightzide]

Be the man-whore to compliment Nova at that bar in Megaton...Coz hey, Some people prefer the gentleman to the female...and im not going to judge them for it, Im just going to make some caps off-of it

 

[Something Amyss]

You know that crazy old guy telling you to get off his lawn?

I'd be the post-apocalyptic version. Complete with assault rifle and crazy robot.

 

[jthm]

Spec in stealth, small guns and security. Profit.

God I hate those doors. Sitting there all cocky...

 

[I Max95]

take over the alien spaceship and just use that

seriously why cant you bring that thing to earth and used that to achieve victory in your missions
it'd be a hell of alot more useful than liberty prime

 

[righthead]

I would use my massive intellect to gather like minded individuals to manufacture a device that purifies radioactivity from water and sell it to a guy who sounds like Liam Neeson.

What if he dies before you can sell it to him?

OT: I would live in an emptied vault, and try to get it running again. After that I would charge people to live in it.

Then I'd get a government contract from a robot?

 

[AceDefective]

in all honesty if i dont die my best hope would to become a slave and hopefully go to a nice home

 

[Cobalt_Flux]

Haha I'd get one of those kickass cowboy hats and go scavenging for weapons to sell. And use.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Probably wander around scavaging stuff from the ruins. I'd do odd jobs in towns I come across, trade some of the more useful junk I found, perhaps hook up with a raider outfit and go pillage the nearest village. Pretty much become a mercenary who will do all sorts of favors (include those kind of favors). Hopefully I could find a couple followers who are willing to follow me around. We could be a group of Raiders-for-Hire. And I'd probably resort to cannabalism pretty quickly too.

 

[laststandman]

I would find a Yao Guai cub, and raise it as my own. Then find another Yao Guai and mate them, eventually making a pack of Yao Guai so loyal and amazing that they could kill a deathclaw.

 

[Shotzey]

Realistically, I wouldn't. Now in videogame land I would just grab a Chinese assault rifle and shoot till I hear a click. In the case I do survive, find a puppy, raise him, become a trader with my shotgun, .38, and baseball bat.

 

[thylasos]

I'd probably join the tribals in Fallout 2, train to be shaman.

 

[elilupe]

I would either die immediately, or go insane and start to name tic-tacs after the U.S. presidents.
