Welcome to Fallout town: What do you do now?

[loc978]

Being a bit of a renaissance man in terms of combat skills, survival skills, technical skills, and academics... but also being a bit of a cripple (bad leg, bad back)... I'd stay in town and help out with planning defenses, building stuff, repairing stuff, and combat training.
Anyone wanna know how to properly break a man's neck? Hint: it's not just a simple twist.

 

[masticina]

Mmm I would stake out the area, make maps, find safe areas and prepare for different situations. If others are willing and able, or talked into it I would try to move the town somewhere safe. Maybe a cave system with multiple exits.

Easier to defend and then..well I would try to find water, methods for food. I would use my insights as an "I think it so I can put it into action" methods. If all works out I would probably end up as one of the advisors to whoever is the leader.

I wouldn't want to be the leader no.. I keep myself busy with improving things. Finding better methods politics is outside my desire.

I function better in groups if the groups me to be the "odd" one. I would try to make sure the system would function with protection set up, people placed in the right areas and the survivability of the group raised. Maybe I would fail to deal with getting clean water..but that is why I say with others.

I rather see a nice safe town, with a nice wall, with guards. A basic small society!

Where hunters can come and go and trade happens. Where scientists can settle and do research. I might not be the one who does the things.. I just hope my advice who ever picks up the fallen crown will put it in work.

In the end I would hope for the town to be better off then when I entered. Of course this being after the war.. who knows.

 

[The Cap]

me, my anti material rifle with AP rounds and the super stealth suit from OWB would become somekind of one man deathclaw exterminater business, roaming the wasteland for big angy things to kill

 

[sage42]

Scavenge, then after a while maybe set up a store of some sort. Gun preferably, out in the wasteland everyone needs a gun.

captcha: herebrou trading, and this would be the name of the store. Dunno why it just seem to fit.

STEP 1: Go to New York

STEP 2: Travel the wastes to find groups of people who are willing to make an underground settlement. Then we could hopefully be safe from everything (apart from some feral ghouls).

STEP 3: I would expand the underground city until all sewers belong to me. it would be one of the safest places in the wastes and would be somewhat expensive to live there.

STEP 4: Create businesses for things like guns and food. I would eliminate any competition (they would look like accidents of course).

STEP 5: Slowly take over above ground area (I'm pretty damn rich about now). I would kill raiders, slavers (any bad people, even though I'm a little dodgy).

STEP 6: Get others to travel around America to spread the word of my New York while stirring up trouble so other places don't seem so safe.

STEP 7: Have a huge population living in my city and be very powerful.

STEP 8: Live happily ever after.

THE END

or just be a bartender in the town lol

this except i'd start a cult in ontario with strong members and have them do what i need (scavaging,repairs,protection ect.) i'd also be taking over subways, sewers and small towns and wiping out undesirables (raiders, slavers, feral-ghouls/violent mutant) as the cult grows grow eventually and at my strongest (owning all of canada) i ally myself with justice4L so we can team up and take over the world instead of trying to take over each others territories (and hopefully not try to assassinate eachother) i also have minor skills with lockpicking guns martial arts cooking and building so i'm not useless

 

[Twilight_guy]

Stay home, fix computers. Laugh as people go out and die from dehydration.

 

[The Funslinger]

I'd probably travel around and solve problems using nothing but my Kung Fu.....

No wait ... thats the plot to Kung Fu.

I'm ex army so i'd probably set up a merc outfit similar to Talon though not as shit.

Either that or Caravan guards. Depending what pays the most.

Fast forward a few years and I'll hopefully be in Royal Marines. If it's post that, then I'll do this. If not, I'll just stay and pitch in with whatever. If my village is prone to raider attacks, I'll try my best with my shotgun.

 

[Rage Builder]

Since I have no skills that would be useful for a post-apocalyptic town I'd try to get myself an apprenticeship from one of the towns many fine doctors, mechanics or bartenders.

I'd also probably have a sidequest for random strangers where I'd screwed up my duties but is unwilling to face the consequences for my actions and try to get the stranger to fix it all.

 

[Ruedyn]

I'll try to find Boone. If I can't find him cause everyone else and their dog already is trying o travel with him, I do know how to survive in the wild. But I think I'll just try to open a resteraunt or grocery store.

 

[souper soup guy]

Would I have child immortality since I'm under 18, if so than I go out and found a new town in the most resource rich part of the wastes, and rule it with a velvet grip.
If not than I'm basically dead because most of my knowledge is about academic subjects, and I'd be a pretty useless mouth to feed.

 

[MordinSolus]

I can shoot a gun, but there's no way I would survive in the wilds. I'd get too hungry too fast. And it's probably blazing hot out. I might help the guy who runs the clinic, run a shop, or be the guy who goes to the Wastes for a day or so, then comes back with supplies for himself, the clinic, and the shops.

 

[Jfswift]

Hmmm, I'd probably end up working security for a trade caravan and eventually owning a trade caravan once I find enough loot or cash. I'm a pretty decent aim with firearms and have some repair, survival and medical knowledge. I think that qualifies me.

 

[GiglameshSoulEater]

I'm a mechanic, and even though there aren't any cars in the fallout universe I refuse to believe that not one single vehicle survives nuclear apocalypse so I'd be setting up Junk town motors.

You can get a car in Fallout 2.

I would murder everyone and descend into cannabilism and madness, before being a unique enemy to be killed by the Lone Wanderer.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

I'm learning to become an actor, so with my 75 Speech skill I'll negotiate on behalf of the cities' mayor/king/lord.

 

[ShadowHunter474]

Im a okay shot so I could probabley act as a sentrey for whatever town im in. That or scavenge to supply my own or another merchent's store.

 

[electronicgoat]

Pretty much all life is shit in the wasteland! I'd go searching for wealth and drugs.
If I die, oh well.

 

[VinceVega]

Well i've a degree in pharmaceutical chemistry soooo i think i'd be fine creating drugs (maybe explosives) and stuff and i've worked with electronics all my life and am an amature blacksmith so i could repair stuff just fine

Yeah i think i'd be pretty fine!

 

[MyFooThurTS]

Find a beached aircraft carrier, chop off the bad half, create society, shenanigans ensue.
