It's fun!

It's downright wacky. Where else could you build characters to be James Bond, Abraham Lincoln, and Marie Curie?

Hmmmm....well, there's a few I've come up with. I'll start with the ones I came up with for Fallout 3. (I don't own the game)

Abraham Lincoln

• Strength: 7 (Reasonably tough)
• Perception: 5
• Endurance: 5
• Charisma: 8 (ABRAHAM LINCOLN)
• Intelligence: 7 (ABRAHAM LINCOLN)

• Luck: 3 (Not very lucky in the long run...)

Tag Skills

• Guns (Repeating Rifle)
• Speech (ABRAHAM LINCOLN)
• Unarmed (Ametuer Wrestler)

Other

• Good Karma
• Will wear his hat, his beard, and his suit.

• Endurance: 5
• Charisma: 7 (Exemplified through Narm Charm)

• Luck: 5

Tag Skills

• Unarmed ("John Freeman got quiet then dropped wepon and said 'I have to kill fast and bullets too slow' and started killing Combines with bear hands.")
• Small Arms (wepon)
• Explosives ("John Freeman felt sorry for them becaus they couldnt live there anymore because they were zombie goasts so he blew up the house and killed the zombie goasts so they were at piece.")

Other:

• Primarily wears jumpsuits, though prefer the Vault Lab uniform ("office lab coat), later on he switches to a headwrap and Merc Charmer outfit. ("Normal People Close")
• Good Karma overall, but may make stupid choices as well.

• Luck: 7 (Has amazing fortune in extreme situations)

Tag Skills

• Guns
• Survival
• Sneak

Other

• Good karma, but more towards the middle.
• Combat first, but preferably taking enemies out from a distance.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a leather armor/reinforced leather armor for Mad Max?

Probably, I was just thinking about the pictures that have the Vault Dweller walking with Dogmeat. If I remember, they always have the Dweller wearing the armored vault 101 suit.

Here's some I came up with for Fallout New Vegas (Don't own this one either).

Twig

SPECIAL

• Strength: 4 (Raised in a Vault with no excersize equipment, but my have some muscular buildup caused by becoming a "prospector".)
• Perception: 4 (Don't know enough about VATS mechanics, but he had a 52% chance of hitting the torso of Tanner when he went into it.)
• Endurance: 3 (Overweight; has to take a break near the beginning.)
• Charisma: 8 (Has two followers, one of whom doesn't really care for him, and a nice guy all-around.)
• Intelligence: 7 (Raised in a Vault with no excersize equipment.)
• Agility: 4 (Least overweight Vault 10 Dweller.)
• Luck: 10 (Managed to take out mildly-injured mercenary in two shots, despite low chance of hitting.)

Tag Skills

• May side with Mr. House in hopes of havng a lifetime supply of Nuka Cola.
• Has a custom Trait entitled "Vault 10 Dweller". The trait makes him automatically start out with a permanent addiction to Nuka Cola, as well as a normal addiction one other variety of junk food, and water and various foul-tasing foodstuffs will be less useful on him. On the flip side, junk foods are twice as effective, especially Nuka Cola. In hardcore mode, he also becomes thirsty more easily, but Nuka Cola will quench thirst far more easily than clean water.

Postal Dude

• Strength: 8 (Easily carries around several heavy weapons as well as a nuclear warhead at one point.)
• Perception: 5
• Endurance: 4 (A bit of a Glass Cannon)

Tag Skills

• Guns (A Gun Nut.)
• Melee (Good with a machete.)

You are an amusingly strange person, Miijhal.

They should make an RPG system complete designed around playing as goats.

^^I try. :P

Favorite

edited 8th Mar '11 10:56:48 PM by ViralLamb

This RPG system should be called GOAT.

Your stats are Gnawing, Orneriness, Agility, and Toughness.

Goat is from Vault 46, which is located on a mountaintop and is populated by nothing but goats.

Tyler Durden◊ from Fight Club

S - 8 (fist fighting)

P - 4 (had to trade this off, but it kinda applies e.g. the narrator was never really aware of who tyler really was or the extent of project mayhem)

E - 7 well he does take a bullet to the face and live, he can endure quite a bit

C - 8 (Tyler is an extremely charismatic person, would've made it higher but I needed stats in other areas)

I - 8 "Tyler was full of all sorts of useful information"

A - 3 (another one I just had to trade off)

L - 2 (trade off but also, as Tyler you need to "consider the possibility that God does not like you, never wanted you, and in all probability, he HATES you")

Tagged in science, unarmed and speech. As well as having high explosives. Notable perk to include is "Night Person".

Was waiting for that one. I don't see Tyler as agile anyways. He just takes the hits rather then trying to avoid them.

Vault 77 Dweller AKA The Puppet Man

SPECIAL

• Strength: 8 (Singlehandedly wipes out a Slaver's camp.)
• Perception: 3 (Insane)
• Endurance: 10 (Quickly adapts to the 2-3-year-old wasteland.)
• Charisma: 5
• Intelligence: 5
• Agility: 5
• Luck: 4 (Went insane from isolation, but compared to other Vaults, not as bad as it could have been.)

Tag Skills

• Unarmed (Takes out slaver camp armed with nothing but a hand puppet.)
• Survival (Easily adapting to a young wasteland woud definitely require this.)
• Medicine (This too.)

Traits

• Wild Wasteland (Puppets)
• Good Natured (Generally a nice guy. But with a Hair-Trigger Temper.)

Other

• Karma could be inconsistent, but generally it relies upon how well he's treated initially.
• Starts with two custom perks: Animal Tamer and Vault 77 Dweller. The former is like Animal Friend (?) only it allows you to mount any animals that could theoretically be mounted if in possesion of rope, and the latter adds in an extra dialogue option where the puppet weighs in on the situation.
• Wears Vault 77 jumpsuit and prefers using the Vault Boy Hand Puppet (mods usually make it into an unarmed weapon.)

^Shouldn't that be two characters?

edited 10th Mar '11 7:42:29 PM by HungryJoe

Also, perhaps for the tyler durden playthrough you should also never upgrade your stats when you level up because "self improvement is masturbation" (now self destruction.....)

Probably going a bit too far with that.

One character, two personalities. Perhaps it could work like Lily in the sense that once his HP lowers enough, he goes into Axe-Crazy "Puppet Man" mode.

Cole Train

• Strength: 8 (Seriously, have you seen those muscles?}
• Perception: 5
• Endurance: 8 (CAN'T STOP THE COLE TRAIN BABY!)
• Charisma: 7 (He's funny, but in a childish, endearing sort of way
• Intelligence: 4 (He's turned down every promotion offered to him. Seriously.)
• Agility: 4
• Luck: 4 (If is squad doesn't include Marcus, Dom, or Baird, he's gonna be the only guy left.)

Tag Skills:

• Guns
• Speech (remember his 'enlightening' speech?)
• Meelee Weapons (pretty much needed for any COG with a Lancer.

Notes:

• Chaotic Good.
• Wears a customized blue Combat Armor.
• Hates Super Mutants.
• Is searching for a craftsman to combine a Light MG with a Chainsaw.

Uh... I know this isn't directly related to thread, but... You guys know how to remove the hair style choosing thing from Fallout 2 Restoration Project Patch? It annoys me as now the screen with stats looks different...
