Fallout: New Reno

[Rossos Atrapes]

Not sure how quests would work out with Mimi - like Chirp, he's kind of a companion type character, who'll kick around with whoever asks for his help, I guess.

That said, if Clone Wars can manage R2 / 3PO centric episodes, I guess a Mimi quest isn't totally out of the picture. I don't know enough about the game to cook something plausible up - any ideas?

From what I've read on the wiki, pretty much anything's up for grabs, and the sidequests work out a lot like KOTOR (as far as I can tell).

The Wasteland is at least as weird and random as Miami and LA.

That is to say, things often don't make much sense, but there they are.

[Sanis Prent]

Figure side quests to be optional. If you'd rather not, that's ok, just something that might add flavor.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Side quests add flavour! And also give people something to do if the main story isn't moving along

That doesn't really narrow things down, you know.

I'm all for side quests, provided I (or someone else) can think of one. I don't know enough about the source material to think of anything at this point. For all I know, there could be a faction that obsessively collects robots. There could be some mutant hyper-Amish people, who would view a robot as an abomination or a demon or some such. There could be some latent programming embedded in Mimi that kicks in under certain circumstances... but again, I don't know enough about the source material to think up what those circumstances might be, what he might do, or where he might go.

There's too much scope, rather than not enough. Short of sitting on the wiki and clicking "random page" until something interesting appears, I'm not in a position to cook something up for Mimi without help.

Well, the first thing that comes to mind in those terms is a bit of a two-part quest, where there is a scientist (possibly from the Brotherhood or from the Followers of the Apocalypse) who's got the knowledge to restore Mimi to a Mr. Gutsy frame, and the first part involves having to find him/her. The second part of that quest would involve finding an actual Mr. Gutsy - whether that be in some abandoned vault or in a safehouse somewhere in New Reno. Or heavens, maybe even it's in a supermutant village or in a deathclaw den. That part is really up to you.

Honestly, I really recommend playing New Vegas. It's that good. For the longest time I put it off, and finally once I started playing it I was helplessly hooked

Don't feel constrained by the Wiki. We've cobbled together some existing stuff from the other games, but other stuff we've plum made up As long as you understand the setting, who's to say that Carson City doesn't have piston-sploitation woman-on-robot pornography industry that's taken root, or maybe there's a Planet of the Apes style atom bomb cult somewhere.

At this point I feel like I'm Yes Man to a degree. I'm incapable of saying no!

[Charley]

There we go! Do whatever you want! Be a giant robot or something!

[Dasquian Belargic]

"Assume the position."

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Oh god that sound

[Charley]

"I can't feel my legs!"

[Charley]

Also, people need to post in the Brahmin & Bighorners thread or I am going to kill them!

Did I say kill? That's not a very nice word. I mean I am going to hug them, until they stop breathing, because they're so darn special!

Point taken, but it's a hell of a lot easier if you think up something you'd enjoy and we'll see if there's somethign established ie a location/faction/event that could link into it. If there is, great. If there isn't, great - we make it up. The setting is there to serve our creativity, not the other way around.

[Dreams When Bitten]

Hey guys

We still doin this?

[Morgan Evanar]

Sure, why not?

[Emelie Shadowstar]

Yes...?

I'll toss a post up tomorrow if no one else goes, that's for sure.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Hey guys

We still doin this?

of course!

I have just been failing at posting lately

[Captain Untouchable]

Been meaning to grab you on IM, Charley - I figure Mimi can probably see what's coming a little better than the others. Don't wanna spoil your reveal, but do you wanna PM me some basics so I can work out how Mimi would react?

Cheers!

[Sanis Prent]

sure thing, PM inbound
