Excited for the release of FO4?

View Results
YES!!!!!
No...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Uh... I just tried to make a post here but it didn't get posted when I hit 'submit comment'. So, here goes again:
I am level 4 with all public, squeaky clean GAs. I have all FO games on steam with 87 hours logged on FO3, although I probably spent twice as long on my xbox copy, lol. That's the bare minimum, but I'm working on my other content submissions now.

EDIT 1: Here's my favorite screenshot I took in NV.
"Hey, wanna talk about star caps-AAAAGGGHHH"

EDIT 2: Okay, my 'creature feature' is attached. I've always thought House Centipedes were way cool but also way creepy, so I chose to base my creature on them.
Thanks to their now-common 4-to-9-foot length, Radipedes have graduated from their old prey of spiders, cockroaches and ants to the infinitely more delicious homo sapiens. Usually found silently prowling within long-abandoned homes or other buildings, these fast-moving arthropods have been known to surprise many an unwary scavenger from above, below, or any other direction, really. Unusually intelligent, these creatures have shown an ability to distinguish dangerous prey and employ according tactics, dropping or leaping on their victims and stinging with highly irradiated venom, then retreating until the venom takes effect. A single Radipede can dispatch an entire group of careless scavengers in this manner.
As Radipedes prefer somewhat damp environments and cannot live in excessively cold or dry areas, they are found mostly in the eastern and southeastern American wasteland. They are also primarily nocturnal and are not as active during the daytime. Their meat is technically edible but liable to give the untrained palate a stomach ache, and their venom is generally regarded as too radioactive to be harvested for any use.

True...RadScorpions and the Praying Mantis were not too many in FO2. I think Mantis were not in later games, only Scorpions and Roaches maybe...
This centipede...oh man it gave me goosebumps. Wish Beth could implement them, along with ability to creep on walls/ceiling...that would be a whole new dimension of FO gameplay :)

Oh crap I've already forgotten that LOL
Indeed, they were in NV, now that I checked Fallout Wiki. Evidence of me playing both FO3 and FONV only once yet :D I'll have to correct that mistake...but not before FO4...though my mind's been itching for a good Fallout playthrough for quite some time now.

Hello Aurorable, nice to meet you!

I am lvl 5.
I am super shady.
I own only New Vegas on Steam and rented FO3 from Blockbuster for Xbox360 (guh, it feels like Blockbuster has been gone since prewar). Have never played 1, 2, or Tactics.

I've thought about a lot of radiated creatures (dinosaurs, werewolves, ZOMBIES) but since you'd like an animal, I had no other choice then to go with the

BALD RADEAGLE

/bawld rad-i-kuh l/

A bald radeagle is one of the most vicious creatures from the wastelands. They inhabit all continents of the world except for Antarctica, but are most prevalent in the Amerikas, especially northern.
The bald radeagle is an oppotunistic feeder much like their prey. They feed mostly on flesh, which it swoops down and snatches with its 5 foot mutated talons. It then shreds the flesh from the bones with its razor sharp 3 foot beak leaving nothing but a pool of gut juice and unused defensive skill perks.
Bald radeagles are not actually bald; the name derives from whence the hatchling first starts mutating. It loses all of the feathers on top of the head first before the radiation starts flowing through the rest of the monstrous bird. Once baldness is achieved, the nanite starts supergrowth on the beak and talons. Once complete and adulthood is achieved, the nanite starts affecting the wings. Bald radeagles can grow up to 15 foot wings and in some extreme cases have been seen with double that.
Bald radeagle

So far my most enjoyable mission has been the one revolving around the REPCONN GHOULS and the delusional smoothskin who helped them for 2 years.

why do you people keep restricting access to your giveaways? its literally the opposite of what this website was made for, its to help out people who need it, not cater some elitist white list list of all your friends so you can basically be regifting games to your friends over and over as if you are actually "giving it away" because you aren't.

this site isn't a charity organization and users aren't forced to give away anything to anyone unless they want to.

instead of complaining about the same subject every single time, you could instead try to make some friends and maybe share something like most of us do. that's how this site works, unless you prefer to keep antagonizing the community and getting in all the blacklists.

If one does really need digital entertainment, I think the problem is bigger than not getting into some specific giveaway. It sounds more like an addiction. The site is a tool for users to gift games to others. Nothing more, nothing less. How they wish to accomplish that is up to them. As is to whom they make giveaways available to.

So sour :D I'm give a chance to ANYONE who meets the requirements, not "my Friends", why would I just make a public giveaway? So people who just want to add to there collection join? Hell no, I want someone who will enjoy the game to win! This was created for fun, let people be creative & get reward for it. BUT, people like you will never see that & continue whining purely because YOU can't join. Suck it up, princess & contribute something to the community for once (Puzzles/HiddenGAs/trains/etc) .

Had a bit busy previous week so do not have time to participate into this one. Thanks for creating some creative activity. Nice to see such events here.

Let's begin =)
I almost comply with entrance rules - I did regift in the past (didn't read rules), served my suspension time, and since then I try to raise my karma back by being active in forum, helping newbies and (occasionally) creating GAs. I am level 3 at the moment, hoping to give more =)

I own RCHP (region-specific) version of New Vegas on Steam, and it has the most hours played :D Proofpic included.
I played F1 and F2 lots of times, in 2003-2010 I had a habit to play and finish F2 once a year. I don't have them on Steam, because I prefer GOG versions. Proofpic included =)


Here's my take on a new species in Fallout Universe:

Radsnails

As a result of contacting leaked FEV inside Mariposa Military Base, a new species was born. Originally tiny garden snails, those creatures mutated to be as big as a football, retaining original ungodly fast regeneration and mighy jawsz and developing new traits - like toxic slime. They feed on almst any organic material they can find - small creatures, birds, corpses, excrements, and sometimes even unwary wanderers! Radsnails are not only immune to radiation, they bathe in its warmth, just like ghouls! Thankfully, this habit draws them to strong radiation sources, like nuked sites or leaking nulear stations. Mind your step in there!

Radsnail slime contains a powerful neurotoxin that paralyzes creatures, leaving them helpless against slow (literally!) and inevitable death. So choose caferully where you sleep, fellow survivor, or you may wake up with half of your face gone!


I only seen this today, and there's no time to get my most loved screenshot from my home PC, so I'll throw in one from New Vegas. It's just a beautiful shot of a not-so-friendly location ( I'm sure you'll recognize it :)) My (probably) best moment in Fallout games was right at the end of F1, when Overseer talked how different I've become, and that I'll never fit inside the Vault again. I found out that after the talk was finished, there was a half-second delay, just enough for me to go into the battle mode and blow that bastard to pieces. Oh, that death animation was the sweetest thing in the whole game :D Also, it was the longest one - I think devs knew someone would try it, so they worked hard on it =)

Hope I entertained you a little, and will be honored if I'm chosen to participate. Have a great day! =)

EDIT: I suck at links, so I fixed them) Also, I'll try to get home while thread is still open, and find that picture from F1 =)
EDIT2: added creature description and a sketch.

(MandReq)

I played every Fallout in series (although I don't think I finished Fallout Tactics). Post-apocalypse is my favorite genre. 100% achievements unlocked on F:NV - my first Fallout game played on Steam (332 hours playtime total) :3. I'll probably replay every other Fallout on Steam if they add achievements to it.

(Creature)

Le Chicken no chicken

Le Chicken, developed in Boston's Back Bay DNA Labs by manipulating DNA part responsible for growth hormone and metabolism (using ostriches DNA as source). Results were amazing, from normal featherless chicken it became 5 times bigger, along with the much richer meat, not needing the required amount of protein to make feathers. It became quite popular before the Great War, as long as you didn't see them running around. After Great War, ambient radiation mutated their DNA even more making them much bigger reaching around 6-9 feet in height.
There are few variations of types of different colors, but also some adapted vision in underground caves, making their eyes glow in dark.They don't usually make difficult enemies, unless they are in pack, in which case they fight over the food by tearing victim's limbs off. Keeping a distance is best option how to stay alive during a fight, although they can easily outrun any humanoid, so it is better to kill them fast.
Despite the tough meat and even tougher skin it is ideal main ingredient in many tasty recipes, especially meals at MrsSadChick's on Newbury ("After all it still tastes like a chicken.")

(Screenshot)

I always forget to make screenshot in my favorite moments, but here is one. If you wanna see some more action or if I did choose poorly, you can always check the rest in my screenshot library, although I'm not exactly great screenshooter.
I hope these games will continue their uncapped potential in modded gaming :3, now only counting down day by day.

The mutant house cat is an extremely deadly, yet useful, creature. If you can tame one, you can destroy anything in your path and use it to open refrigerators to gather food which it will most likely consume before you get a taste.

Late entry, but I think when I first saw this thread you hadnt added the option to take pictures of physical copies of the games yet :)

Level 4 with no regifts or non-activations

I own most games of the Fallout franchise

  • FO 1, 2 and Tactics on GOG (Proof)
  • FO3 and NV on Xbox (Proof)
  • Fallout Shelter on Android (Proof)

Finished all but Fallout Tactics

Creature: The RADlesnake

A new enemy type for Fallout Shelter, the RADlesnake is a small radiated snake that once it's infiltrated your vault can sneak from room to room through your ventilation shafts. It is the only enemy that can attack several non-adjancent rooms simultaneously and therefore tests your multitasking skills. Apart from that it's a relatively weak enemy lacking any kind of armor, it is slightly stronger then a radscorpion but weaker then a molerat.

hello,so here is my try:

  • LV5
  • Nothing shady
  • All games except Fallout 4
  • Brahmin need a proper predator and whats better suited in a post apocalyptic situation is a hyena,well except that this one is a triple headed one.
    The well known Cerberius Hyena is a vicious predator and when its heads don't fight each other it hunts mutated cows as well as people,especially vault dwellers :P

Cerberius Hyenas are about 58 to 65 inches tall and weight at 210 to 310 pounds.their lifespan is close to 50 years and gestation 90 to 110 days.
Due to their mutation they developted great senses,their ears can hear sounds at both too low and high frequencies and can hear other hyenas from 15 miles away.
Their nose can smell prey and carcass from 4 miles away and they can also detect with both nose and tongue changes in the moisture of the air so they can sense any storm coming from miles away.
Except from their 3 heads Cerberius Hyenas have also 3 tails that can sense any change in the speed of the air blowing and any tremor in the ground,they also act as a weapon because they can slap you with great force.
Other weapons these hyenas have are their venomous fangs and claws,their poison is 2 times stronger than a Radscorpion so if by any luck you manage to get away with a scratch or a missing limb you have only about
24 hour before you die from tremendous and agonizing pain as well as high fever.the only way to treat yourself is getting an antidote specially produced for these creatures only in some big cities but that will cost you lots and lots of caps.
Except from their deadly weapons these hyenas can sprint at 40 mph and keep up a speed of 29 to 34 mph over 3 miles.they also have thick skin that can deflect any rounds up to 14mm so you better equip yourself with some
real guns or you won't be standing a chance.

  • my drawing and photoshop skills are too bad so this is something funny i made :)
  • i decided to start playing all fallout series from number 1(i played the 3rd one before at playstation) about a month ago and i have all my time in the first game.i tried today to take a screenshot but i couldn't so i took one from early game in fallout 3 sorry

Story:
Grand-Master ████ we found something. This holodisk was founded near ████████, holded by our scout. Aaand here are one weird detail: he was decapitated, and his gear gone. You can think: “Nothing serious here, another day, another beheaded scout of Brotherhood”. But no, this… information from holodisk… Well, better you will read this.

“aggf543wdhgfd<DATA_CORRUPTED>gfhfgd… and J. was sent here for recon. You know, make sort-of-map, look for tech. But daaamn, this place is strange. According to data, before war here was swamps, but now its… well, RADswamp, dunno. Radmeter tick like a mad, and here a, hm, radfog? But this is not strangest thing what we saw. After a day we found… head on spike. Looks like it was for a long time. And this is not end. As far we go, as more we found this pikes and then we found THIS. A row, full of decapitated bodies. Mens, womdfgfdsghj<DATA_CORRUPTED>hjhgf and altar. Sort of. It looks like animals with human heads. Well, J said, what we “should find, who did this, we are scouts” bla-dddfghjkl<DATA_CORRUPTED>t54yj So, after a day, we found a village. We use our stealth-boys and start watching. And what we saw… Sir, do you know story about spinx? Well, these creatures looks like reverse-spinx: head of animal, human body. And this wasn’t masks, I swear! J call them Manimals, heh jkkjhgfd<DATA_CORRUPTED>hnmk6tyu they lead out this poor bastard and CHOP HIS HEAD OFF!

Meet all the mandatories. :3 And have all FO games besides 4.

I started FO3 yesterday for the first time ever. Quite an experience. I have 6.9 hours atm, but I actually barely got out, because I kept wanting to see dialogue I missed and shit in the intro. lol. Also I had trouble looking for the general store but it was night time, so that was the reason.


I don't know why, but taking this picture amused me a lot.
"Now you are the one trapped father!"

(Please excuse me if this is retarded since I'm still pretty new to the series. lol)[Also please excuse the awful picture. I can't into art. ;-;)
Super Sloths can be anywhere from 4 to 8 feet tall, they are nonaggressive creatures for the most part, as long as they are not messed with by anything. Because they are sloths, the heads take turns sleeping, while the other moves around and steals shiny objects that interest it. Although every once in awhile, they will both be sleeping, so you have a chance to steal whatever valuables it may be holding. Fighting one is dangerous, as they have long arms, and if grabbed they will split you into two.

Since I started FO3, I think I will be doing a lot of post apoplectic. Going to try to juggle FO3, and Mad Max. And maybe FO1

I'm level 3, I have no fake giveaways, and I own Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics on Steam (I also own Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, but on console instead of Steam [yes, yes, I know, I'm a dirty peasant...I didn't have a computer that could run it at the time]). I played through the campaign on Fallout 3, though I'm still going through some of the add-ons (currently exploring old Pittsburgh in The Pitt). I'm still working through the campaign on New Vegas, since I want to do as many side quests a possible before I commit to eliminating any faction (currently exploring the Big MT in Old World Blues). I'm still working on finishing the campaign for Fallout; most people I talk to seem to regard Fallout 2 as the better game, but I wanted to finish the first game before starting on the second.

I have no artistic skills, and I don't take screenshots in my games unless there is an interesting glitch happening, so I don't think I can try for any bonus points, but I hope that I meet the minimum mandatory requirements in order to have a chance at winning the latest entry in the series. Whether or not I am able to enter, however, I want to thank you for the opportunity you are giving the community. So thank you for your contribution, and for giving the community an opportunity to entertain us with their submissions and screenshots.

I present you:

  • Humanoid Bear. Because that's what he is. After experiences with animals in a vault scattered on the wastelands, he was able to escape and now lives wandering, raiding and scavenging what he can, including, human camps and small towns, he uses the armor of people who attacked him by confusing him with a normal bear therefore trying to get his meat. Obligated to equip himself and to survive in this hostile world. He has a developed conscious and a somewhat high IQ, so he realizes of his sadness that he is alone in this world.

Screenshot related.(by me.) Poor bear.

;_;

I have two of the games on Steam and the boxed physical copies of them which i don't have with me, but you can verify the games on steam ^^

Well, i don't meet one of the seemingly mandatory requirements as you already know (as i don't own any of them), but even if so i just wanted to take a stab at cooking something up, even if i'm not eligible.

Sadly, given i had to re-install everything and lost all my brushes, etc. and had like 2h today this is what i managed to come up with.
Also, dunno if it's still on time, but here is my half-assed attempt...

RadShark:

There may not be oceans in the wastelands, but this mutated sand-shark adjusted to live without the need for water. Its guills have adjusted to breathe in the heavier than air toxic radiation. In fact, it actually needs it to survive, so it can be usually found in the most radiation-heavy areas of the wastelands.
This beast hasn't lost its taste for blood though, quite the opposite. Its reptilian chamaeleon-like skin also allows it to be a cunning beast that can go unnoticed till it is too late. For you, that is. It usually feasts on radroaches and radscorpions... until the occasional unsuspecting wanderer comes along.
