Post by Ironmonger Sat Aug 18, 2012 10:12 pm

I'm posting this as a thread to talk about my new unofficial sequel to FOE, Fallout Equestria: Armed Redemption. The basics are that it takes 50 years after the events of Fallout:Equestria. Inspiration primarily comes from FOE:Project Horizons, the story is so different and darker than the original story that I decided to do something similar. The main cast of my fic is the complete opposite of the crew from either story, in that they go from hardened mercenaries who revel in war to being more kind and equine (humane). The story itself tries to stay true to what has been established as canon in the original Fallout Equestria, but it also changes things dramaticaly in part because of the 50 year time gap. Chapters will be published when I can write them. Any feedback is welcome.

Only read the prologue thus far, as mentioned on FF, but if you do this right it has potential.
Just gotta make sure you give it a good storyline and really develop your characters and it should be good.

Someone mentioned the fact that my mane cast seems overpowered. That is just it, they SEEM overpowered. The Gendarmes have proper combat training and coordination but they slightly fall into the category of Glass Cannons. They are better off at planned, methodical approaches rather than bull-rushing it like Blackjack and her lot. They are kinda the reverse of that group. Just dispelling some possible fears of the story being la-di-da with no challenges. -LK

I wouldn't say that they're overpowered... but Stringtheory (IIRC) did have a point with putting them up against equal or stronger opponents.


They're a merc group - they're going to be trained well and you've given them decent equipment, so make sure they go against opponents that suit their level.
You wouldn't send a level 1 fallout character against a deathclaw, so don't do that with your characters [haven't read chap 1 yet, but just saying]...


As long as you make the opponents something of a fight -- unless you're going for an easy fight to build them up as combatants, which isn't necessary since the story already tells you they are highly trained.

In my story, the MC gets away with some pretty weak opponents and has some high advantage bonus' when the opponents aren't weak - to begin with.
However, once he's had enough time to familiarise himself with armed combat properly past firearms training, I throw him against some opponents that begin to kick his ass (admittedly, this was after being told of my flaw - but it still works out well in that sense.)



You just have to make it so they don't cakewalk the wasteland, basically.

The next few chapters is where the fun starts and where I start being a complete asshat to the Gendarmes, as I have planned for a few weeks.

FAIL. Fallout Equestria:Armed Redemption 1751538862 Ahem, anyway, it will be drastically different than what you expect. Prancinnati is in what would be real-world Ontario Province of Canada, and somewhere around 500 miles from Stable 2. There, spolierless spoiler. Fallout Equestria:Armed Redemption 403243246

At the risk of spoilers, I need some feedback. One of the primary enemies of the story are the Trottomans (a little like the Legion) who constantly threaten Prancinnati. This (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntVtN3g6ERM) song accompanies them via alicorns who magically broadcast the sound. The song is eventually supposed to become fearsome given what it follows. Thoughts?

I have news everypony. Chapter 2 of Armed Redemption should be released by the end of the month. I'd like to thank Mister Frost for being my editor and co-author, especially since he picks up my work whenever I'm unable to. This story will be a long road to walk, but it will be worth it in the end and I hope to make it enjoyable for everypony.

I might have to start reading this in my spare time, should be interesting to see it developed, even though I've never played WH 40K.

Would you believe me if I said that what prompted me to start writing was Medieval 2:Total War? I take some elements from WH 40K because it's so huge that it's relevant to everything and does it well. The story is a throwback to Fallout 1 to Tactics in the way it's comical yet dark and serious. Another inspiration is The Expendables series of movies.

News: chapter 2 is 90% complete but might not be out soon as I am dealing with writer's block. Expect it around the 15th or something, this stuff aint easy.

-YaY Sonar young and funny character I like him.
-Look, how many time passed after DoSaR? You must mention it in story.
-Stories after FoE's events have two possibly awesome moments: 1. Ponies can eat green. (shame we do not see it in postFoE stories, because not enough time passed, or it's to far away from central equestria and soil still not so good, or just because autors too stupid to write it) 2. Alicorns! Would be awesome to have one. However, AR already have awesome character (Armatus). But it's never enough.
-Keep up good story.

Crap. I had it in the old story description and forget about that. I changed the description to make it less TL;DR. Scootaloo Thanks for pointing that out, it's 50 years after the end of FoE.

The ponies can actually eat green in Prancinnati, the city wasn't exposed to the bombs so no radiation or taint.

There are a few Alicorns in the story, one of them is even in the group. But I won't say who. Muahahaha...hahahaa.HAHAHAHAHAHA Twilight crazy

Isn't there a problem with scaling on this pic, or is he, like, 5-6 meters high ?

There are some scaling issues. Armatus is very tall compared to a pony but not absurdly huge. The artist has some trouble scaling things properly, and as a former artist I know how that is. Grimm gets his point across however.
