Right so I'ma give this a shot.
Basically we have this game Fallout 2.
The way this works is, I start a game of Fallout 2. I post screencaps of the game at various points and then you, the ever so beloved community, makes certain choices. I play out those choices and post the results. This is sort of like the Oregon Trail thread that was posted in the Fish forum.
Anyhow let's get crackling. I'm going to assume y'all know how this works.
CHARACTER CREATION:
Alright so, there are a number of things that have to be sorted out. We've got our name, we've got our age (not really important), our sex, primary attributes, traits, and tag skills.
The way this is going to work is first come first serve, except for some big decisions (arbitrarily chosen by myself) that can be voted on and majority rules (smaller choices can go like this as well if we've got a whole lot of people weighing in).
So first, let me know what we're naming this kid. Then, age and sex. To keep things simple tell me what primary stats you want to see emphasized and to what degree in a range (8-10 cha, or 5-6 int, for example) and dump stats if you think there should be any. The more dump stats there are the higher we can push desirable stats. Next, tell me what traits we're gonna use. You can choose one, two or none.
Then we're gonna do skills. To keep the game from being needlessly difficult I'd like us to have at least one combat skill that can be used in the early running (small guns, unarmed, melee, etc.) the rest of the skills are fair game.
Post your preferences for all of these. That way if someone posts before you do, I can compromise accordingly (first person gets name and sex, second person primary stats, etc.)
Let's see if I can actually do this!
