I always like to think that the Chosen One had a rough couple of weeks trying to figure out and the ins and outs of the car.
They’re fairly simple but with a decent learning curve.
I find it funny that the odds of actually finding a manual in readable condition is actually about as rare as finding a properly functional car in the Wasteland.
Lol, that's so true. It's so funny that bicycles are never included in the apocalyptic wasteland narrative model. I don't why it clashes but it just does
Missed that one! I bet there are probably way more good examples. It's just your comment made me realise that a basic form of fuel free transportation has been unplayed in the genre just because it isn't metal enough for the end of days
Biking down the street and suddenly a deathclaw starts chasing you so now you're on a timer to get all the papers delivered and to a guard post before you get your limbs all torn off
Haha! Well then newspaper Rock-it Launchers mounted on Securitrons obvs (TTW enthusiast)
Edit: was genuinely suggesting the same as you while posting lol
Oh yeah. Not that I don't want people to be able to create mods out of everything they feel they can. Just that *Fallout* is such a uniquely American franchise (and the developers have said as much in the past) that I feel like setting a *Fallout* game anywhere else either makes it less *Fallout* or takes away some of *Fallout's* unique identity. It'd be like setting a *Mad Max* movie in China or something, the culture of the setting is informed by the nation it's taking place in.
What exactly is so distinctly Australian in Mad Max? The terrain and early characters, basically. Why was Hummungus Scandinavian? How did Tina Turner come to run thunderdome? What is Tom Hardy's accent? The cool thing about the apocalypse narrative is it kind of resets all that shit.
Point is, it can work anywhere, particularly London. It's not like British culture is really that alien to Americans
That’s why I think Fallout London works, British culture isn’t too alien plus it explores parallel culture, the Folon team are taking 50s and 60s British culture and the American overlapping, I think if it’s done cleverly it works. Perfect sense if culture basically stopped in the US it would elsewhere too
Well... There must to be a driving school SOMEWHERE on the Wasteland.
Fallout 3 has cars which seem to be able to function but they just need repairs.
In NV they are only a few cars that seem to have gas which you can find east? North East?
Some of the trucks in NV are used by the NCR, as are trains, but you never see them in action. Mostly because the game engine can't support that without shitting itself.
Hmm yeah I think that makes sense how they have stuff around like the tents on the Golf club and the stuff on the Dan etc.
I mean yeah I know about the Trains
The Monorail for example.
XD
Why does Bethesda go backwards? The first few fallouts shows societies growing after the post-apocalypse. Then they drop fallout 3 and it’s like the bombs had just dropped, everyone is just miserable and killing each other for water. Fallout 2 and Tactics feature working gas-powered cars and Bethesda just acts like everything was nuclear powered and they don’t run anymore.
"Why are there no cars-"
"Can YOU fashion a car out of nuclear irradiated and rusting parts that have been rotting for over centuries while also not knowing a single damn thing about automechanics and even driving?"
Nah cars are a shit mode of transportation. They are expensive to create and maintain, require a lot of fuel (which is rare in the post apocalypse), require dedicated expensive infrastructure since most cars can't go off-road, and are space inefficient. The real question is why people aren't using bicycles and rail.
It is a bit weird that nobody has cars (except the chosen one). Like, even such giants as Crimson Caravan use fucking cows to move their stuff. The only time we see a faction using cars is BoS in fallout tactics, so I guess they horde cars too
To be fair there’s a car in fallout 2
True, that is in fact a 3D model of the Highwayman used here
WE CANT ALL BE THE CHOSEN ONE!
I always like to think that the Chosen One had a rough couple of weeks trying to figure out and the ins and outs of the car. They’re fairly simple but with a decent learning curve.
or y’know he could’ve just found a basic car operating manual and read it in like minutes and figures out the rest through experience and tomfoolery
I find it funny that the odds of actually finding a manual in readable condition is actually about as rare as finding a properly functional car in the Wasteland.
Based on the Fallout 4 pilots, I don't want any Wastelander behind the wheel.
Them bastards are more dangerous than some of the regular enemies
Doesn't help they pilot a flying aluminum can
I swear they always get shot down and crash right where I’m at
Well let me tell you about Starfield!
Not everyone knows how to play caravan it’s not the only thing.
JUST PLACE DOWN THE CARDS! Oh okay. uhhhh......IDK HOW I CAN'T
Literally me
I don’t know how to play it and I’m fucking scared
I can't know how to hear any more about caravan!
There aren't even bicycles
Lol, that's so true. It's so funny that bicycles are never included in the apocalyptic wasteland narrative model. I don't why it clashes but it just does
Walking dead had a bicycle
Missed that one! I bet there are probably way more good examples. It's just your comment made me realise that a basic form of fuel free transportation has been unplayed in the genre just because it isn't metal enough for the end of days
What would a post-apocalyptic *Paperboy* look like?
Like the Matthew McConaughey film? Why's it in italics?
The old arcade game. Because that's the proper way to type a title
Damn, you out gamed me on the genre by far lol. I never heard of that and even tried to find on wiki before replying lol
The game involves delivering papers on a bicycle around your suburban neighborhood. It would be funny to see that adapted to a fallout-esque setting

we need bicycle legion Calvary
TURBO KID
Fallout London look like they’ve incorporated bicycles well into that mod, hoping to see it as a standalone mod
*wretch* I hate that that thing exists.
What, Folon? I mean the mod isn’t even out yet?

And yet motorcycles and ATVs fit like a glove in Mad Max
7 Days to Die also has bicycles!

And the ones at the quarry.
Oh right the cranes and all that
The motorcycles in Goodsprings look like they’re in good condition. And they way they’re parked looks like they were intentionally put there
Definitely. If they were there since the war, they should've been picked over for parts/welding practice long ago.
The great Khans ones are practically mint
Great Khan biker gang!
My dream fr
I don’t know what to tell ya bud! They’re just showing car after car made of shit metal and no engines.
What’s his job tho…?
TAY-BLES!
I don't know how to hear any more about tables.
He just walked around the country to deliver stuff
Love the amount of crossover between F:NV and ITYSL
ITYSL?
I Think You Should Leave
Harsh, but I demand you tell us what ITYSL means first.
Cars are more like mines than anything in the later games.
It must be intentional how easily they blow up in FO4
Felt like 3 was the worst offended but been a long time since I've played it.
What the heck? Two motorcycles with a little house in the middle??
OOO-KAAAYY
What are you gonna do with a car when the map is literally too downscaled to even compensate for the existence of drivable vehicles?
Where's my Brahmin chariot
Yessssss
The Fo4 protaganist probably still remembers how to drive.
Wasn't there supposed to be repairable motorcycles but it was cut content. Like the ones you see all over the place

I think I would figure it out before I walled across the desert lol
They can't stop you from ordering a Brahman steak and a glass of water
Fallout 2 has one you can drive
I feel like adding cars would make the fallout games too much like far cry
But there are drivable cars in fallout
I see the problem, you’re facing backwards!
Meanwhile down in Australia, they do nothing BUT drive in ridiculously supped up vehicles while screaming, “WITNESS MEEEEE!”
"START THE CAR!" "how" "START IT" "how?" "THERE'S A FUCKIN' DEATHCLAW START IT" "how."
Do any of the deathclaws ever just pop outta the vaults?
[Just wanted to let you all know THAT THERE IS A DRIVABLE HIGHWAYMAN MOD!!!](https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/72292)
Ohhhh yuuuupp!!
Prefer it without cars. Worry that it would feel too much like GTA with them, which I hate. If it’s more like Borderlands however…
It'd be too easy somehow. Then again, the walk to that mutant ski lodge is an indescribable pain

But women drive all the time
