r/Fallout

Working on a project in my own time where I'm planning on making my own setting and lore based in the Fallout universe, seeking to expand on the otherwise lacking lore of the continent of Europe compared to the US-focused games.
Feel free to ask me anything about the setting, feedback and suggestions are most definetely welcome!

There’s more lore for this random raider gang than this semi-important faction in Fo3.

So I’m giving Fallout 4 another try and I’ve put about 13.5 hours into the game so far. It never fails to amaze me just how good the open world in Fallout is. I’ll be exploring, getting distracted by random locations, looting everything I see, and completely forget what I was originally supposed to be doing.

Then there’s moments like this where the game decides to remind me to watch where the hell I’m walking. I genuinely did NOT see that mine until it was already too late. One second I’m chilling, next second I’m getting sent to the loading screen.

(also yes, she's in power armor)

Idk how they would do it but it would be cool if they made a physical store so the people that collect the caps can exchange them for prizes. I think it would bring sales of the soda up but they would have to brink the price up a little bit to account for the prizes that are being exchanged for.

Okay so if you're familiar with my vault room from this post, I've got an update for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/s/CVyduWEoui

I worked with a carpentry team and we built curved walls, which really makes this room so much more "vault like". I added molding, bolts, and painted them to blend them into my existing room. I've still gotta add the top banding and pipes along the ceiling, but this one change has really made this room pop. Photos below! I have a bunch of videos of how I did this on IG as well that I can link of anyone is interested. Next project is the weapon wall and I'm looking for people who make prop guns from FO4 and FNV so get at me creators!

I'm over 300 hours into Fallout 4 and I haven't even explored half the map yet because I decided to completely abandon the main/side quests and explore the Commonwealth in a giant snake pattern from Sanctuary to the edge of the map and back. Exploring is my favorite thing to do, followed closely by settlement building. Eventually, building & exploring got a bit repetitive, so I built a dedicated two-story workshop building in Sanctuary. The first floor has every crafting bench, and the second floor is a private studio apartment for me and MacCready. I decided to do something completely unhinged: manually shelf and align almost my entire hoard of chems and alcohol using default drop mechanics. I put the liquor shelves right above the beds, and turned the corner bookcases into a full-on chem stash. No OCD mods, no static decoration mods, just pure painful manual placement item by item. Took me HOURS because of how janky the hitboxes are, but sitting back with MacCready and seeing the stash lined up like a literal pharmacy makes it weirdly worth it. Anyway, here are the results. I'm particularly pleased with my completely excessive supply of Buffout and assorted drugs. My Sole Survivor, Josephine, is basically running a pharmacy at this point.

I found this giant bottle cap at the thrift store and immediately knew what I had to do! These are the progress pictures and the result, I really like how it turned out. The starting bottle cap is what it somewhat looked like but I forgot to take a picture. I used goo gone to get the paper off of the cap and then used transfer paper to get the lettering on the cap and it worked perfectly. Super easy and looks great, would definitely recommend if you happen to stumble upon a giant bottle cap in your future.
