Poll: You In the wasteland...(Realistically)

[LordSnakeEyes]

I'd get as many guns as I can gain access to, choose an important strategically placed encampment. Preferably in the middle of a barren expanse. There I would build a small fort and offer people refuge from beasts as they sleep. Bound to have many travelers stop by my oasis, I would use this as a strategy to amass a lot of money/resources/men (turning my fort into a small wall-surrounded fortified town).
Eventually, the brotherhood would arrive and I would convince them to make my outpost a brotherhood outpost (making me the director/ a paladin).

 

[InnerRebellion]

Hmm.

I'd do what I wish I could have done in Fallout 3. I'll put on a duster and my Shady Hat custom made by Moira and act as the official Enclave bounty hunter.

Or I'll serve as the Brotherhood's secret assassin.

Or...hmm...form a gang of guys in dusters and Shady Hats, all armed with Chinese Assault Rifles in perfect condition, frag grenades and laser pistols. We'd wander the Wasteland, and hunt down the Talon Mercs and Raiders.

 

[Jark212]

I'd be a traveling Apothecary, dispensing aid to all those in need...

Then no one would shoot or try to eat me due to my extreme value...

 

[Kimarous]

I think I'd join the Brotherhood of Steel. Even if they'd probably send me out on hazardous missions, to be inside a suit of Power Armour is pretty much the safest place to be in such a hostile world. Besides, the Brotherhood's resources practically guarantees the arguably best standard of living the wasteland has to offer.

 

[Vault101]

That's easy, I'd get my gun, my ammo, and my backpack. Fill the backpack with whatever supplies i have (food, water, ammo, etc) and find the nearest town. Then i'd see about starting or going a mercenary group. Gotta make a living somehow. Since Engineering is pretty much useless, i have only my marksmanship and tactical skills to fall back on.

Engineering? the knowelge dosn't sound useless You could find work with the brotherhood or the enclave

 

[slaveway3242]

I'd make the conscious decision to survive. As in, if I can find a job working in the Megaton bar for a few months to get enough scratch to get my hands on a gun and ammo, or have to steal or worse in order to reach that same ends, well that's just how the cookie crumbles. Roll with the punches and see how long I can make it.
That's probably the only real possibility anyhow, as some player's of Fallout 3 might have discovered, certain Vault Dwellers end up quite dead due to their goals... Note to self, stay away from Enclave soldiers, they don't like to chat.

 

[superbatranger]

Well, damn I'm dead meat.

Screw those pretentious assholes. The BoS just wants tech and the Enclave are freaking crazy. I won't work for some genocidal autocracy or a tech-worshiping cult. I'd much rather just work for myself. As a merc. Maybe i can be the guy who makes new guns.

But if is Fallout1/2/New Vegas, i'd so join the NCR. They are some cool motherfraggers.

What? which game were you playing? no its the outcasts that are obessed with tech over humanity (I hate those assholes), the brotherhood are there risking thier lives for the people of the wastland and preserving humanity, and preserving tech is actually important too

 

[HT_Black]

"What the...what am I doing in Calera?!"

Then I'd just go back home and try to get my sleepwalking problem sorted out.

Oh, wait--you mean the Fallout wasteland? Oh, I'd take up with the Outcasts posthaste. Those guys know how to roll.

 

[Agayek]

If I were to wake up tomorrow somewhere in the Capital Wasteland, I would probably make my way to Megaton or Rivet City and settle there. Make myself useful with my talents with computers and hunting to pay my way. The only problem is that I probably wouldn't live long enough to get there.

Edit: I might, after I adjust to life in the Wasteland, join the Brotherhood of Steel at some point. I definitely like what they do, but I'm a lazy fuck so I can't say whether or not I would actually end up there.

 

[Ironman126]

I'm playing Fallouts 1, 2, and 3. The Fallout 1/2 BoS are the Outcasts from FO3. The FO3 BoS are lame. So they have power armor and some big guns. They also fight the most dangerous bastards around, the Super Mutants. I like not being torn apart.

And FO1/2 are better than FO3 in terms of plot and factions. Nothing beats the New California Republic. Not the BoS. Not the Enclave. Hell, the NCR have Super Mutants fighting for them! The West Coast, non-crazy ones. NCR, FTW!

 

[Vault101]

I'd go make myself useful in Megaton for awhile, learn the ropes (if in fact I were just dumped there after basically being as sheltered as a vault dweller), hope to get to know the area and survive before it got the better of me.

Do we get a Pip-Boy? Because otherwise, knowing me I'd probably wander through a hot zone and turn into a ghoul.

No...You'll have to steal it from Butch

 

[DeadEy3]

I'd kill myself.

I would be dead within a day, as I would kill myself.

Well, damn I'm dead meat.

I'd either be in a vault, or dead, or both.

Well, guess there's nothing left to do now but kill myself. That'd be my decision.

I would sit on a rock and ponder my options.

And then get eaten by a deathclaw.

Sorry for looting your corpses... But at least you all are appreciated!
Have more confidence for God's sake all you Bittercups. Hope you bunch are not like this IRL.

 

[CheesusCrust]

Try to settle. Realistically though, I'd be dead very soon without my medication.

 

[joshthor]

In the words of charlie sheen "i would find a nice chick with a tiny ass and merry her" i think i would do fine out there. im big, i have no qualms with hurting people if they threaten me or piss me off, and im awesome.

 

[_Cake_]

First Choice - Hook up with someone who can look after me.
Second Choice - Prostitute myself.
Third Choice - Die.

 

[Sansha]

I'd be dead from either food poisoning, radiation poisoning or exposure within a week.

If not, I'd settle somewhere safe and quiet. Rivet City or Megaton - I certainly won't have the money for TP Tower.
