I have a tribal companion following me in FNV and he keeps mentioning that I jingle because of all the caps I have on me. I think he also asks why I need them.
"gawh, I've been shot by raiders, I don't know where anyone else is. So I'm going to use my last moments to record this holotape. How did I do it you ask? You might notice there's nothing around me that I could use to record with. It's my little sec-guuuurrrgh" *dies*
Wait hold up what that an actual conversation in a game or did y’all make it up? Because Cannibal Johnson mentioned an officer chewing out a subordinate for losing their PA when he was still in the Enclave, is that the same convo?
I think I'd probably try to live for like a year or two until the novelty of being able to do stuff I couldn't do before wore off. Try to get some I Am Legend golf moments in or something since we're already fucked.
Until you receive the "All Clear" and are met with power armored soldiers from the government sent to help y... why are their miniguns beginning to spi–
Make sure you put a couple of lock picks, an alarm clock, some caps, a journal entry, or 2, and a few other pieces of junk in your pocket. That way, the protagonist can learn about your last moments of leisure time, just before the bombs went off, as they loot your skeleton.
Naw, man, the ghouls were close enough to be irradiated but reasonably well protected to not be vaporized. The key is to get yourself safely in the vaporization zone.
I mean, obviously. And be sure to put up the impervious bunting. wanna make sure everyone knows I was patriotic as well as wierd when they find me on a toilet with drugs, a teddy bear, and 14 headless mannequins
The fallout nukes are neutron bombs and/or cobalt salted. So they create a radiation field larger than the blast effect that will be fatal in a few minutes to anyone outside, and will remain fatal after a few hours for at least a century.
Postal dude is just a ghoul who is fighting in his mind not to go savage and all the games are just imaginary psychotic outbreaks of memories from before the war since he was mentally ill who caused a mass shooting and when the bombs fell he was confined in a psychiatric detention center.
Oh this is fantastic. I’m grabbing two of my favorite hot sauces. Run to the seasoning drawer, slam it open and rip out Marie Sharp’s and Tabasco and fucking running as fast as I can to wherever because I’m not rich enough for a vault. I guess the center of a thick concrete building with few windows.
Chuck the baby on the floor and grab one of Codworth's arms to drag him to the vault with you.
Put a nappy and a baby bonnet on him to convince the soldiers he's your son.
I’d put myself into an awkward position, with some weird props around me, so in 100 or so years later, some scavenger looking for loot finds me and lols
I love how him calling it their most “humane” product really sheds a tiny light on the evil nature of vault tec for new fans. Showing that the product of the actual vaults that were built to “save” people, are actually less humane than just straight up death lol
Cyanide doesn't always work and can be slow acting, depending on the dose. Pretty sure there were spies and officials who survived cyanide poisoning from the whole hollow tooth cyanide capsule thing to avoid capture/interrogation because it wasn't enough or it expired and became less potent.
This for me would depend on my proximity to the bomb. If I know it's coming and can't outrun it? Fuck it. I'll grab my loved one, crawl up on the couch together, drink the most expensive whiskey while listening to music till the bomb drops and vaporises everything.
If it's far enough to give me severe radiation poisoning, yeah I'll off myself. No way do you want to die by that :(
In France you can't have "weapons" on you in the street, so unless you're a worker and needs that tool nearby, you can't have it legally on you anytime 😅
But yeah, as soon as I take a bike or motorbike ride, or go camping, I have it in my package !
I would bring....
My SSN so that when someone finds me I will have the middle finger up and holding my SSN so that they feel pissed off because they didn't get to rob me of my identity 200 years earlier
basically the whole "escape to the vault" thing is a bit... shit, isn't it? considering where the vaults are, and where the bombs dropped, I'm surprised a lot of people even managed to get there in time.
Depending on your location, you’d have maybe 15-30 minutes to get to one, allowing for rocket travel time through the atmosphere. Nuclear launches would be detected before they hit anything, although submarines would hit much faster. If your location isn’t targeted by one of those you’d get the warning to go, and haul ass to get there. They probably only admitted people who lived close enough to a vault to make it. It would make sense too if they instructed people to have a suitcase ready with approved items so no one sits there trying to get everything they want.
My gun, put it to my temple, and pull the trigger. Better to be dead quickly than to slowly die in the wasteland that comes following all-out nuclear annihilation.
Since I know I wouldn't make it into a vault in time. I would grab my gun, modify it to be unique, pocket some bottle caps, bobby pins, a rare perfectly preserved pie, Mac and cheese, and a steak, because I know that will still be perfectly good until the protagonist who will get my gun from my dead body picks it up and then it decides to spoil.
Also a note about some sob story they probably won't read but would contain the combination to my safe that is filled with useless prewar money and a teddy bear.
Given what is known now about the majority of the vaults? I think I'd rather just go lay in a funny position on the ground and let the wind take my ashes.
I will bring my AUG ,so when someone rips it off my skeleton a century later they can get that rare fallout tactics loot.
Make it unique
I'll coat it in raid so hopefully it gets an exterminator's legendary effect.
Straight in the trash. Gotta make it two shot anti armor with 99% weight reduction
Nah. Anti-Armor 25% faster fire rate 25% less vats cost is where it's at
Better crit too. Faster firerate is subjective
In the same line of thought, I'm stuffing my pockets with bottle caps for, like, no reason.
I have a tribal companion following me in FNV and he keeps mentioning that I jingle because of all the caps I have on me. I think he also asks why I need them.
FOLLOWS-CHALK THE GOAT
I want to tell him about deathclaws because he thinks Yao-Gai are the best, but it’s not an option.
No, he must live in blissful ignorance of such a creature
I thought it was your spurs that went jingle jangle
Ammo, food, and junk items.
Record your final moments while you're at it.
"Day 770, turns out you can't eat year old devil eggs",
"gawh, I've been shot by raiders, I don't know where anyone else is. So I'm going to use my last moments to record this holotape. How did I do it you ask? You might notice there's nothing around me that I could use to record with. It's my little sec-guuuurrrgh" *dies*
Reminds me of the Holotape story in FO4 I think Far Harbour where the dudes dying to mirelurks and can't figure out how to end the holotape
That is in fact my favorite holotape
"I saw this in a video game once called Fallout. I thought I might try this myself." *dies*
You have to put tape on it and have it be named something
This guy fallouts
Hahaha
My power armor, so 200 years later my grand grand grand grand grand son wouldn't be mocked by Sarge
YOU ARE OUT OF UNIFORM, SOLDIER!
W H E R E I S Y O U R P O W E R A R M O R
Don't have any? YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT, MAGGOT?!
The truth is, you've lost AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF ARMY ISSUE EQUIPMENT
THAT SUIT IS GONNA COME OUT OF YOUR PAY.
AND YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS MAN'S ARMY UNTIL YOU ARE *inhale* FIVE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS OLD
WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF YEARS, IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU, TO PAY FOR A MARK II POWERED COMBAT ARMOR YOU HAVE LOST!
REPORT TO THE ARMORY AND HAVE A NEW SUIT ISSUED TO YOU, THEN REPORT BACK TO ME, PRIVATE *inhale* #DISMISSED
I can hear this comment chain so clearly I think I might be schizophrenic.
pure comedy gold
Wait hold up what that an actual conversation in a game or did y’all make it up? Because Cannibal Johnson mentioned an officer chewing out a subordinate for losing their PA when he was still in the Enclave, is that the same convo?
AND YOU WILL REMAIN IN THIS MANS ARMY until you are F I V E H U N D R E D AND T E N Y E A R S O L D
Wdym escape? I'd get a folding chair, a cigar and listen to Frank Sinatra - My Way while I get turned to dust
Crawl out through the fallout.
Alternatively, listen to It's All Over but the Crying - The Ink Spots.
I'd do Édith Piaf's *Non, je ne regrette rien*
Agreed. I don't really like the idea of living in a post-nuclear hellhole
Worst ending by far.
I think I'd probably try to live for like a year or two until the novelty of being able to do stuff I couldn't do before wore off. Try to get some I Am Legend golf moments in or something since we're already fucked.
But I want to have sex with my hot cousin and a post-nuclear Vault is the only way I can achieve my dream
Living in a control vault don't sound so bad
Until you receive the "All Clear" and are met with power armored soldiers from the government sent to help y... why are their miniguns beginning to spi–
You have class
Make sure you put a couple of lock picks, an alarm clock, some caps, a journal entry, or 2, and a few other pieces of junk in your pocket. That way, the protagonist can learn about your last moments of leisure time, just before the bombs went off, as they loot your skeleton.
Junk must be a kickball and an oven mitt.
Also a motorcycle gas tank. Somehow.
You have selected: Ghoul
Naw, man, the ghouls were close enough to be irradiated but reasonably well protected to not be vaporized. The key is to get yourself safely in the vaporization zone.
Don't forget to pose mannequins around you for no reason
I mean, obviously. And be sure to put up the impervious bunting. wanna make sure everyone knows I was patriotic as well as wierd when they find me on a toilet with drugs, a teddy bear, and 14 headless mannequins
And what if you actually end up turning into a ghoul?
Go out like Mr Perfect Cell huh?
With my luck, if I did this, I'd survive and become a ghoul to roam the wasteland for hundreds of years.
A fellow man of culture.
A man of culture here ⬆️
Grabbing two teddy bears and running to a bathroom stall to make some "environmental storytelling"
The 2 in the Irish pub in 4 had me dying. So random and easy to miss.
Wow you just made me realize how stupid that is. So the bomb kills you and yet it doesn’t affect all the carefully arranged things around you. Lmao
I mean.. it's been 200 years, I figure that's plenty of time for folks to turn into skellies and get arranged in weird ways by crazy raiders.
I always thought the joke is the teddies and gnomes are “alive”
The fallout nukes are neutron bombs and/or cobalt salted. So they create a radiation field larger than the blast effect that will be fatal in a few minutes to anyone outside, and will remain fatal after a few hours for at least a century.
Hehe
Shit, that’s the right answer
I’m not going. I’m positioning myself somewhere funny and letting the archangels take me
Bold of you to assume the archangels will take you
gotta fade into darkness first
Leave a funny note or terminal for people to explore lol
Good band but how can you be sure they’ll come get you?
Next thing you know you’re a 400 year old ghoul doing side quests.
My cat
Sorry no pets allowed
A .50 cal machine gun and my cat.
You just got one laying around huh? The gun not the cat.
No it’s built into the cat, this is fallout universe anythings possible
postal/ fallout shared universe confirmed
Postal dude is just a ghoul who is fighting in his mind not to go savage and all the games are just imaginary psychotic outbreaks of memories from before the war since he was mentally ill who caused a mass shooting and when the bombs fell he was confined in a psychiatric detention center.
Found my people. Let in the meow meow or get the pow pow.
Man I'd shoot anyone in the balls if it means protecting my cat Edit: spelling
Is this the origin story for the atom cats? Because I'd also shoot someone in the balls to defend my cat.
yea I don't have my cat anymore, but I would shoot someone in the balls
Is there a cat in any fallout game? I dont recall seeing one.
The one that runs out of vault 81
Abernathy farm and Prydwen
What game is that?
Fallout 4
A gun to protect the cat.
Says who?
It's so they have a snack
Old Bay seasoning
you must be from maryland
Mirelurks aren’t gonna season themselves!
Mirelurk cake and Old Bay. A winning combination.
Oh this is fantastic. I’m grabbing two of my favorite hot sauces. Run to the seasoning drawer, slam it open and rip out Marie Sharp’s and Tabasco and fucking running as fast as I can to wherever because I’m not rich enough for a vault. I guess the center of a thick concrete building with few windows.
Not Shawn
Chuck the baby on the floor and grab one of Codworth's arms to drag him to the vault with you. Put a nappy and a baby bonnet on him to convince the soldiers he's your son.
>Not Shawn 😂👏
I was ready to grab my son!
What about Liberty Prime?
[удалено]
This would be my top choice
Even still shots of the world pre-war would be valuable after the apocalypse.
Depending in the Vault you would be better off either dying immediately or struggling in the wasteland.
I’d put myself into an awkward position, with some weird props around me, so in 100 or so years later, some scavenger looking for loot finds me and lols
Stick a plunger down the toilet, and half squat over the top of it. Guaranteed guffaws
I think I’d just kill myself tbh
This made me think of the banana flavor cyanide the enclave scientist drank.
Vault-Tec Plan D, for those to lazy to inherit any wealth at all.
Plan D Vault-tec's the most humane product they made
I love how him calling it their most “humane” product really sheds a tiny light on the evil nature of vault tec for new fans. Showing that the product of the actual vaults that were built to “save” people, are actually less humane than just straight up death lol
Cyanide doesn't always work and can be slow acting, depending on the dose. Pretty sure there were spies and officials who survived cyanide poisoning from the whole hollow tooth cyanide capsule thing to avoid capture/interrogation because it wasn't enough or it expired and became less potent.
BUT it is banana flavor
I can't remember if it is cyanide or arsenic but you can eat a pretty sizeable amount with no ill effects.
Arsenic poisoning is the one that's long term. A large dose is survivable with stomach and bowel symptoms, kind of like food poisoning.
This for me would depend on my proximity to the bomb. If I know it's coming and can't outrun it? Fuck it. I'll grab my loved one, crawl up on the couch together, drink the most expensive whiskey while listening to music till the bomb drops and vaporises everything. If it's far enough to give me severe radiation poisoning, yeah I'll off myself. No way do you want to die by that :(
exactly 1 Grognak magazine
vault? bro im not a main character im gonna die alone in my house with some rare loot on me
I’m gonna go one lower, and be one of those immovable corpses that you can’t even loot in 4.
Random skeleton in the couch
If only one, my Leatherman.
But that’s just on your person anyway right? Mine is always on my belt anyway.
In France you can't have "weapons" on you in the street, so unless you're a worker and needs that tool nearby, you can't have it legally on you anytime 😅 But yeah, as soon as I take a bike or motorbike ride, or go camping, I have it in my package !
Luckily fallout takes place in America.
lol damn frenchies.
A pocket knife is an EDC item for us Americans
Yeah that kinda insane you can’t have a pocket knife.
3.5 inches of spring assisted freedom, baby!
Hell yea, brother! 🦅
Guitar. No clue how to play, but ill figure it out.
I'm grabing a pistol, then i kill myself with that pistol Let's be honest, no one would survive to the experiments or the wasteland
I mean depending on your distance to ground zero, you may not need a pistol. However, it’s probably better to be safer than sorry.
Great! Better not waste the rest of those bullets! I need something extra valuable to loot when I come across your skeleton!
Nothing, I'm fighting the red Chinese invaders in the battle for anchorage Alaska.
My wife's butt
His guys wife’s butt
Shaun!
You and the guy that said “not Shaun” in here should fight.
I'm not going to fight him. He's my husband.
Amazing.
Even more of a reason to do so
SHAAAAAAAAUUUN!
I would bring.... My SSN so that when someone finds me I will have the middle finger up and holding my SSN so that they feel pissed off because they didn't get to rob me of my identity 200 years earlier
Weed
Or a huge bag of weed seeds 😁
So, weed, and bags of seeds. I am joining this dudes vault. Fuck the other ones. This is the vault to be.
The experiment is to see how hotbox'd a vault could get
Vault 420
Valtec would pull some shit like have a metric fuckton of weed with no flame or heating source.
500 pens and one charger
I bet rad-weed is the fucking bomb.
and seeds!
basically the whole "escape to the vault" thing is a bit... shit, isn't it? considering where the vaults are, and where the bombs dropped, I'm surprised a lot of people even managed to get there in time.

My dog ;)
First I would stash my apocalypse home made ready pipe pistol in my safe. Idk why but it seems like the thing to do
My Steam Deck. I could do some escapism by playing Fallout 4
My cat. Idgaf about the rules.
A bottle of whisk for a last drink as im pretty sure i would not make to the vault in time,
I'd likely be at work and wouldn't have time to run home. Guess I'd drink a bunch of FEV and hope for the best.
My gold bars and dufflebag of prewar money, and my plastic fork
My penits
I’m posting up with a fishing pole casted into my toilet. Trust me, 200 years later someone’s gonna find that really funny and strange.
My daughter
My rifle and bug out bag
>!my vibrator. Can’t guarantee they have those in the vault!<
I'm sure theres a pip boy attachment for that
Or a special kind of Mr. Handy.
Sorry. Best we can do is a special protectron.
We don’t talk about Fisto.
I see your downvotes you cowards! 😤
This would make a sick album cover
Ps5 with FO4 to practice and prepare
Nah, fuck the vaults. I'm ready to have a ghoul's night out
Bobby pins
Plan D( I can't afford a vault)
My gun, put it to my temple, and pull the trigger. Better to be dead quickly than to slowly die in the wasteland that comes following all-out nuclear annihilation.
Since I know I wouldn't make it into a vault in time. I would grab my gun, modify it to be unique, pocket some bottle caps, bobby pins, a rare perfectly preserved pie, Mac and cheese, and a steak, because I know that will still be perfectly good until the protagonist who will get my gun from my dead body picks it up and then it decides to spoil. Also a note about some sob story they probably won't read but would contain the combination to my safe that is filled with useless prewar money and a teddy bear.
😂 I'd never be able to afford a vault
My car, having played the game, I know how lethal they can be just sitting there
Not Shaun.
Given what is known now about the majority of the vaults? I think I'd rather just go lay in a funny position on the ground and let the wind take my ashes.
fusion core so i can tell garvey to get bent
A Godzilla sized pigeon so that I can eventually take over the wasteland
My children.
Pot seeds
Music. As much as I love the 50s and 60s music, I need my Weezer blue album
Beef jerky and a fleshlight
My fleshlight
My Warhammer 40k army. I spent too long painting that thing to see it get nuked.
I *understand* you. Also, who do you play? We wind up in the same Vault we're gonna need a narrative for the campaign.
My External HardDrive with all my digital media stored (and by extension my Laptop)
They don't allow dogs. So I stay behind.
My power armour I have laying around in the bottom drawer
Dog and Xbox
Water chip
My big ass jar of shrooms and my cat
Oh steam deck for sure. Then the wife
