Die. Horribly. Within the first ten minutes. I have literally no skills that would be useful in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and my physique is... less than ideal for surviving anything more jarring than a gentle shove.

All this and the fact that as a ginger I am literally a walking white and red target add up to my fighting chance in Fallout being: "Ahahaha, no. *God* no. Go play with this tissue and be careful not to get any paper-cuts from it."

I don't know how to do anything, but I'm a meaty man and a great public speaker. So the first thing I propose we do is build a wall. (provided there's water here?) Yes sir, a wall will keep out undesirables and animals alike. From Barter Town to Shady Sands all the best settlements start with a wall.

Yeah the odds of that happening right after the bomb are pretty low, you'd have too many rads in your system and probably have been exposed to the irradiated FEV since we're not sitting pretty in a vault :/.

Well I'd probably try to gather a group of people with different skill sets and hope for the best

Sine we're all in this together? I would flee to the wasteland and find the thread town of beautiful ladies. Seriously all these guys in one area? going to be a civil war sooner or later. TO THE WASTELAND!

I'd save the game, don't want to die! Anyway as fair as help goes I'm fairly adaptable, I know a bit of survival and could probably be trained in guns to help defend our fine home. But after a while I'd probably begin exploring and return some day, find the town destroyed and go find the fuckers that killed you all extracting revenge and dying in blaze of glory!

Well according to my story you did a piss poor job of defending the town son!
What? Dad, I was with you exploring the whole time! I've only got a shitty varmint rifle, but I hear you can buy all kinds of stuff up in North Vegas/Down in Rivet City, so I asked to make a detour! Honestly dad, you need to lay off the mentats. You can barely concentrate on one thing at a time unless you've had a handful. :/
[small][small]Rassa frassa![/small][/small] Get over it ya' jet fiend, your addiction nearly got us killed when we were hunting those damn Deathclaws, that and the fact we missed the Alpha at the end of the canyon.
But dad, it helps smooth everything over! I saved us both when I shot the Mother Deathclaw 5 times in the face before it saw us! At least I have enough money and sense to know when I'm addicted and go see the doctor. Humph.

I'd be pretty useless myself but I'm pretty good with technology and mechanics. I have a History BA and a computer science BSc
Afternoon luv. *doffs cap* ;D
I'm not quite the baddest mofo, I love my mum and protect the town. But I'm a dab hand at shooting things in the face from a distance, shooting things in the torso from a distance, and cooking!
Sorry don't mind the boy, he's a sex pest!

And as for you boy you only have the money I gave you and I'm not addicted, they help! Think of me as Father Elijah just less tech' know how and less "I want to kill everyone" mentality! And you say you protect this town but last time I checked it was on fire!
Oh no I'm not! I'm a take to dinner and then marry the shit out of pest!

And the money I got while you were busy 'haggling' with that shopkeeper for some more mentats. I cleaned the whole town out while you were trying to form logical sentences!
Oh yeah go marrying random strangers, I thought I raised you better back in the Vault!

Oh well at least I don't go around stealing from our friends and have the common courtesy to wait till they're dead!
But I need somebody to keep my gun working! Hurhur, accidental double entendre. ^^

Pff. Since when was old Mrs. Frost our friend? We all knew we'd have killed each other and nicked their stuff years ago if we weren't so evenly matched and she didn't have a Laser RCW.
And yeah, you wait until the bullet you just shot hits them in the groin and then you take thir stuff. At least I only take what I need, leaving them alive with a good chance of survival!
You can handle that yourself!

Please you betrayed me and help the shit out of her, I would've died if not for my Awesomeitis! And I only kill the baddies, don't lie to me monkey man!
But I'd have to practice and learn how everything works and that takes ages.

Dad, that was a dream you had when you hit your head falling off the toilet! You told me all about it in vividly disturbing detail while I was having breakfast.
Wait...what...

I've never used a toilet in my life! I pee in the wind! And that's because you're a spy, thankfully I don't care.

Well, I'm a teacher. So I guess I'd grab the nearest rifle and start gunning down everything in sight, whilst looting the bodies. That's what everyone else does right?

Nah seriously, I'd probably set up a school, teaching people how to read and such. Wouldn't be a bad life, and hopefully I'd have grateful students bring me back interesting stuff they find out in the Wasteland. You know... because I'm the guy with the book learnin' and would be knowledgeable about all kinds of stuff.

Probably wouldn't last long in a town full of thieves and gun men, but hopefully they could see the merit in keeping someone around to teach their kids.

Talking about weaponry and tech dad. Stay with the conversation.

Mr. Heath next door said you were climbing up to try and stab a pigeon through the window above the toilet. Then you let go of the sill to stab it and fell down.

I'd stab any man who stabbed you, sir. *doffs cap* And that's a promise. Might be trouble if you get shot from a distance I can't see who it is, course, but I don't reckon any idiot who'd kill you can afford a fancy rifle.
I'm not a knowledgable man an' I'd like my children to be sophisticated, thank yer.

I've got some farmer blood in me and I'm fairly mechanically inclined. I work with computers now which wont be very useful in the powerless future but I imagine I'd be using my other skills. I'd probably try to start a farming community but would certainly need some guns to make sure the community doesn't get overrun by those still looking to mooch off the system. I'm not a bad shot with a rifle. Definitely want to make sure my family is safe and secure.

Probably try and get the postal service going again. That seemed to work in the movies to get people back into the 20th century. Power generation would be key so engineers/mechanics would be important in rebuilding. Probably could work on some ethanol adaptations for machinery and vehicles, would help with the rebuilding society - farming would definitely help in that.

If it's too cold for growing food we'd all be dead in a matter of a year anyway. So if we can grow food it's going to establish the best foot hold for a new fledgling society (e.g. NCR ala-Fallout 2).

That's terribly kind of you to say, sir. Leave it to me. I'll make sure your children can count past ten without taking their boots off.

Wonderful! But if you steal from my children I'll let them show you some of the things I'll teach 'em.

A student probably isn't ideal, but I could use my creative writing to help someone that intends to rule gain more support through my propaganda machine. I'd train with wasteland travellers so I could defend myself both in civilisation and the wastes, but mostly I'd live a cushy life as the left hand of a powerful leader.

I'd also have my own network of intelligence gatherers, so I have eyes and ears all over the town, everything that happens does so with my knowledge and approval, only the leader shall be able to overturn my decisions should the need arise. However, a great amount of effort would be attributed by me to hospital maintenence,education and combat effeciency for people of all ages, our little town would become a fortress and sanctuary. Do inform me if this is a little bit megalomanic...
I would hire you. As my second in command, there is nothing we can't do :p

You could use your writing skills to spread the word of my New York, and if business goes well, you will be paid large amounts of caps.
Nothing would stop us, with my influence on the people you'd quickly ascend to be the most popular and powerful leader in World history. I'd take my caps and use them to form my surveillance networks that'd keep our rule safe, then use more and whatever else I gained to pursue the charitable activities, all of which are then attributed to you. You'll be a God, and I'll be the shadow of a God, working in the dark. So long as I receive my due payments and privelages the spotlight would be yours. This World is ours!
BINKY AND THE BRAIN!!! xD

Build utopia.

Or atleast try to.
Collective farming at first, then when we have enough manpower (3 children minimum per couple would be the law) we'd start some industry, consumer goods and weapons.

Then I would conquer the wasteland with my army and bring utopia to everyone.
Sorry mate, you will have to go through me :p
No need for that friend.
Why not join our cause? Fight for a better future for all of the wasteland?

We do not wish to fight.
We bring peace and prosperity.

Pax Fenriza if you will.
I will not join you, but if you don't get in my way we could be peaceful and perhaps help each other.
