Discussion?

Fallout 4 has made it more of a thing but with food items being made to not just heal but give effects, could it be possible that in the wasteland of FoE, things were radiated to have mutations that would cause an effect to a user. Like making them feel stronger or making then feel more alive after consuming it.

>>26012848
No

>>26012848
>making then feel more alive after consuming it.
Only chocolate does this, and in the wasteland the only way to get chocolate is snack cakes.

And the tyrant Sunfall takes all the snack cakes for herself.

So assuming pegasi like Sapphire and Murky along with the other fics were to be ongoing when Operation Cauterize was being planned, how does this change things?

I think it makes their mass extermination plans more justified, as they seek to erase all pegasi that exist groundside.

Otoh I see that the plan would change quite a bit in the face that these pegasi are rather more prevalent than the 2 dashites we had in the original, and consequently the Enclave would be far more aware of the issue, perhaps restricting their strikes far more to just the MOA and Dashites to avoid causing them to come upstairs as it were.

>>26016120
>Murky
>a threat
Heh.
As for change, I doubt it would have changed much. The Enclave overestimated themselves. I'm sure they'd have put more priority on dashites, but ultimately considered them a nonissue.

You shouldn't have sex with Rocks. They're better as pillows.

So thoughts on Murky story 1 Yes I read the footnotes.

We already discussed that Murky is more butler or man servant than slave, but I think it should be repeated.

Most people forget he has saddlebags/ had saddlebags to carry his journal when arting him.

Miracle DJPON3 is really overused. For the love of me and readers, please people, use other radio hosts. Hell have them whine that nobody listens to them after that big mouth in Tenpony came online. Datte gets 10 points for not doing this.

For all the surprise talk of Murky being a pegasus, Fuzzy, you laid it on to heavily with the attention to the skycarts, the dream to fly, and the constant gerkin adjusting. I'm also amazed that his owners apparently never tried to take it off.

Wait, bound clothes, green skin?
Murky is a super mutant!
Or a fairly foolish gretchin for not mastering sign language. He could certainly carry a few more than a normal gretchen.

I get that wicked slit is to be a hell bitch, but when your vital human resources are collapsing of heat stroke, its time to change practice, not complain that they can't even respond and may in fact be a bit cooked at this point. Its rather a detriment to the point of her being so devoted she can calculate the delay of an hour instead of 10 minutes that she doesn't have some method set up to prevent such a loss, particularly as she is then all too happy to just flat dismiss them entirely.

Red Eye was like Pol Pot. The only reason his horribly run slavery 'empire' was able to keep afloat was because The Twilight Society kept them going and funded them.

>>26018107
I like the idea that it was just like industrial revolution Britain in there, complete with child labor and dashing of hard slavery.
That its such a harsh and terrifying thing, many question if its a worthy thing or some sadistic hellhole for his own amusement.
Its just since they stockpile and keep all the gear in the place until the last month when they move on Everfree, nobody realizes just how much he has done.

>>26018262
Red Eye didn't sell any of his goods or traded to anyone, had to pay Slavers a lot of caps for the slaves, then feed and house them. Not really comparable.

>>26018329
Aside from the lack of output, which raises the question of where all those caps came from, its actually fairly comparable.
Early industrial revolution was a horrible thing, quite close to slavery, with company script and worse.
Hell they even had lethal smog in London that made people drop dead in the streets.
China hasn't even managed that!

For either a sidefic or writefag/cyoa's sake, any general ideas how to parallel content of Fallout 4 into the setting of post-megaspell Equestria and having the outcome play out differently to avoid carbon pasting? And I don't mean the main story, moreso the side material like:
-The general depiction of The Gunners aside from universally hostile npc much in the same way Kkat played with how the Talons are portrayed.
-The periodic skirmishes between The Gunners and the Children of the Atom
-The raider Red Tourette whose sister was kidnapped by a rival raider gang
-The running conversations between raiders where they are dumb-stuck at the sight of a wandering wastelander who makes gunfire, grenade and motorcycle sound effects and impressions
-The Deathclaw massacring the group of Gunners at the Museum of Witchcraft, which I guess you can play it up as a Hellhound rescuing one of her cubs.
-The USS Constitution
-The Treasure of Jamaica Plain
-The ghoul child trapped 200 years in a fridge
-etc

Just thinking about how Silver Bell was the parallel of Sierra Petrovita with the obsessive collecting but things but it was a depressing context with Silver Bell. How Eldar Cottage Cheese could be compared with Elijah and bits of Mr House but the confrontation with him took place far away from Canterlot.

>>26019085
The USS Constitution quest could be swapped for them recovering a warship, and be made much deeper.

Its not just some entertaining side bit of giving them a AAA roadside call, but an actual question on sapience and its emergence in the robots.
They're seeking to go somewhere else, to get on the seas and perhaps travel to the zebralands, beleiving nothing lives there.
They've seen too many of their fellow bots cut down for being overactive programs, scrapped for parts while screeching "I still function, I still function."
They just want to get away from it all and live a life in peace.
But, some of them have loyalty bolts they desperately want removed, things that make them hail Celestia every few hours, and lock them here.

Of course, on the other hand, its a lot of nice salvage there if you just shoot them. Their programming keeping them from returning fire at all...

Sorry for the other anon for being fucking retarded and abbreviating it out for new people. Seriously, was in the same boat when I asked and got the same suggestion in the same form.

I would recommend it as well.

>>26024304
Wasteland Economics? It's fairly popular in this thread. Decent protag and relatively good story for now, pretty good villain.

More of a non-combat protagonist so it's a bit different compared to many other fics. Also, it has swamps, lots and lots of swamps if that floats your boat. Sorta different angle than many other fics take since the protag is on the weaker end of the power spectrum as well as being fairly non-combat. People have pretty good expectations for it going forward.

It's about like a weapons/armor/item smith in a harsh environment.

Looking forward to the next one.

So what is the value of Wicked Slit dumping heat stroke stricken slaves into the molten metal?
Aside from her just delighting in such cruelty, shouldn't it change the composition from the sudden cooling and large amount of carbon and other additives introduced?
That seems like a rather amateur mistake, she'd do better to throw them into the fire under the crucible and leth burn that way without tainting the production run.

The Gunners of Equestria could be a renegade splinter of the Talons, where they take every contract no matter the long term ramifications and perform excessive execution of orders for the thrill of a power trip while The Talons honor select contracts to the letter. Could go to the point their behavior is like The Forged (The psychopathic splinter of FO4's Gunners, even by their standards) with only the most minimum social etiquette to conduct mercenary work. Their ranks comprising of former Talons discharged for violent misconduct, chem abuse, and instability.

The Foals of Atom, in a similar but diverging path from 3/4's depiction, would come to believe that radiation itself allows a path to ascension (with the infrequently observed mutated perks) and interpreting ghoulification as a gift. Otherwise harmless (if fervently stupid) as they keep to themselves until somepony contracts the Gunners to relocate them out of a region to set up a scavenging operation, an order the Gunners liberally interpreted as relocating the cultists to their graves. At this point the once peaceful Foals of Atom weaponized radiation to fight a long contested battle with the Gunners, both sides eventually attacking both wastelander and traders alike to deny supplies to the each other and because of an incident in the past they disguise as wastelanders to set up ambushes.

The MC is left with a choice whether to side with The Gunners, Foals of Atom, or have the client redraft the contract to hire Talons properly to wipe out the Gunners and resettle the cultists as was originally planned.

>>26029547
Thought the Forge was just a bunch of raiders who happen to like fire. They just only got some Gunners to join them.

>>26029547
Also to add that we don't even see the Talons at all in the Commonwealth can help lead that the Gunners could be a group that ended up forming itself. For instance we can think they came from Vault 75 or got insperation from it.

>>26029547
>Allow the Gunners to win, they renege on their customer's contract and devolve into uncontested Forged-like behavior of the region, the benefit of you receiving weekly shares from caravans and settlements they raid and strong-arm.
>Allow the Foals of Atom to win, their hardened ordeal from the climatic battle hardened them to be more dogmatic in their approach, and executing anypony who doesn't conform to their religion. The MC being the exception and held as a false religious idol to spur their cult.
>Complete a long chain of assignments to inform the client how counter-productive the Gunners are, and enlisting either a legitimate Talon group, Steel Rangers, or a parallel's of the MC's Minutemares to wipe out the Gunners before they become too powerful, and relocate the cultists as planned.

There's a splitting pain in your skull and a dry, crusty feeling in your mane as you blink into wakefulness. Why the hell is everything upside down? Movement in the corner of your vision attracts your attention and little voices begin to break past the ringing in your ears.

The last thing you remembered was digging through a schoolhouse in some tiny, no where town when you discovered a trap door in a utility closet. Then it all went black.

Nice work idiot, you got jumped, and probably by some crazy raiders. Maybe you could talk your way out of this? You'd need to get the cloth gag tied around your muzzle off first, but it looked frayed enough to work. It also seems to be really poorly tied, it came right off... Weird.

You take a look around and find that you were in what must have been the basement. Strange depictions painted with hooves- small hooves in fact, were spread liberally around the walls of the room. Things were getting stranger by the second, none of these were bloody or visceral like usual raiders.

"Attention!" A small, squeaky voice cried out. You tried to look around discreetly until something poked your side rather hard.

"Yowch!" You started, your ruse now shattered. Perhaps you should just go with the confident scheme.

"Watch it you ugly trooaaaaahhhhaaa- you are not a raider..." you said, finding your jaw slack.

To your left was a young filly holding a pointy stick in your direction and menacing you. Looking further back showed several others, younger and older, dressed in scraps no doubt from around the school, being lectured about "Big Meanies" by another filly wielding a ruler.

Well that explains the little hoof paintings.

What do?

How would Calamity's family dynamics change if he was the only sister out of the brothers?
Would the new she be looked down upon more for being daddy's little girl, and thus be better driven to trying to excel at opportunities?
Would the brothers be less antagonistic, given that they might now feel more protective of their sister rather than feeling its just another male to compete with?
When it comes to leaving the Enclave, would there be a different set of events leading to it? Such as she doesn't get to keep the armor and has more issues on the ground due to being considered more of a liability?

I mean, yeah, a club is reliable, but then you have to get up close enough to hit someone. And then you have to keep hitting them until they stop moving, and they're screaming the whole time and there's blood everywhere and it's all just horrible and unpleasant.

Guns are better, even if they do jam. You can use them to hit things as well, if you have to.

How? tell me how a giant chunck of rifle with a knife on it is less reliable then a different shaped chunck of wood or iron withouth knife?

Seriosuly, give me a argument how a gun that shoots first, and even if it breaks is still a gunshaped club, is less reliable then a club that never was able to shoot?

>>26038286
Because shooting has nothing to do with reliability. The gun will break before a solid mass.

>all this gun talk
I looked up some shit and possibly found one very massive technological plot hole that was probably handwaved with magic. Perhaps even a paradox? With things as they were, how often was oil (crude, for petrochems, etc.) mentioned? wasn't it mostly coal and gems?

In this manner, literally the only reason for oil would be to clean guns/make plastics if they were so focused on the coal. Even so, the resources to extract such shit could have been destroyed, fallen into disrepair, and not to mention the knowledge on how to operate the stuff.

If this is true, I'd like to conclude gun maintenance went the way of magic or alchemy, meaning the art is likely still alive after the war. While homemade lubricant could be made with transmission oil, graphite, light powdered solvents abraxo?, it's easier to just handwave it to alchemy if oil wasn't a major part of this whole thing.

TL;DR

>>26038993
Phoenix coal was a thing in the original.
Coal that never ran out or stopped burning.

At least Fallout points that the war was begged for, desired, and even perhaps fated at the end. That even if all the stuff Sinclair had made had been a day early, it wouldn't have mattered, the bombs still would have dropped.

>>26039157
Anon, I'm going to need to see evidence for this. I don't remember anything about phoenix coal.

Not yet (they're only in their 60's,, but I should clarify. The arguement against guns in the wasteland, as I understand it, is the
>implication
that no weapon would be maintained, no means for it to be maintained, and the science in-universe would be too dead to create new items or methods of maintenance. The science of all of this can be relocated and replicated, especially with schematics that can be stored, survivors with the knowledge, and even production areas that had surviving bits. Even new industrial and production shit could be developed, if Red Eye is any indication. Gunsmithing is much lower on the scale of requirements than what Red Eye did as well. You can be damn well sure that if someone knows what a gun is, someone else the science behind it, and another guy has the parts, they'll find a way to make a gun- just like a nailbat. A crowbar would totally survive these same conditions that ranged weapons are subject to, eh?

In addition, the idea of this age argument also means everything else "neat" in the universe, like power armor and MEW's, would not exist because they likely had a really high maintenance requirement and conditions of it's creation were likely lost. This is also neglectful of the idea of a faction like the Gunrunners, and would simultaneously eliminate the entirety of the BoS/SR. Hell, in fallout 1 there is a guy that found a manual for hardening power armor, and if you get him a set it basically turns you invincible. He can also power-tune your plasma caster into a death machine.

Basically, the point being made against guns is killing half the fun by saying "yur side wuldn't real, tho" when there are plenty of ways these things could work, it's just nobody wants to acknowledge or utilize them, or others even works against guns existing for some reason.

Imagine if Alloy Shaper was a gunsmith?

Stuff like tube artillery and in fact most artillery in general would be around and making mincemeat of the rabble rousers we see in fics.

Yup, but he's got a gun too. The good part about something like a cudgel is that you can just pick up another one (guess what happens to his, and what he does).

Hell yes. Remember that run to Nellis Air Force base? Remember how psychopathic it seemed to even try? Imagine if they had flak guns and the Enclave tried to hit.

>Especially if start handing out mortars or have somebody with ballistics calcs just propping up some missile packs and firing them at an angle.
Kind of like what the ghouls did in the rocket testing facility, only another good point on weapons. I use a pitching machine that takes grenades.

I would like to say that overall, though, use the right tool for a situation. If someone is in your personal bubble, a knife is going to be much better than an anti-material rifle that weighs 30 pounds, is nearly 5 feet long, and only has a scope sighted for things at least a football field away. A sawed off or even handgun might trump the knife, though. The most important thing I can say though, is make it logical in reference to the story and how the combat plays out. If there's a firefight breaking out, the guy isn't gonna make it through no-man's-land with a shovel, he's going to have to pick up a gun, do something mary-sue-ish, or something else than going in head on.

On a different note, what about armor? What kind of stuff for that still exists?

>>26041246
My point was you can't have artillery and other big guns without things going wrong in terms of narrative.
Like if you have combat, the artillery will shit all over it.
You try and have a story like WECON with a threat of raiders, they better have artillery as well or armor good enough to tank it.

That's what I'm saying, its the same as why you rarely see artillery in fiction, its boring effective stuff that reduces the target characters to craters.

>>26041356
yup, use the right tool for the job. it arrives in a different way too, though. If you're on the shooting end, it's boring and effective. If you're on the receiving end, you suddenly have tons of shit to do to give yourself a fighting chance against it. Getting pegasi to map the area for approaches, having to earn the caps to pay them off cause they're not cheap, possibly finding a traitor that left the group that knows blind spots (which involves creating a new character), that sort of thing. If it can add to the story without power creep (that's the hard part), it can be worthwhile.

>>26042175
Meh, it's seems very predictable and dull from either end though. If you're inside then someone's inevitably going to try bypass or sabotage it. If they fail then queue generic find-who-done-it quest. If they succeed then the town will get its shit pushed in as they have little else in the way of defense because "oh we're so safe behind our artillery so why bother?". If you're outside then you'll just end up finding some way in that turns out to be super dangerous anyway. A tunnel full of ghouls or a secret path that ain't so secret after all.

>>26042175
Outlaw original had artillery if I recall, amd Frozen Skies has that chekov's gun of Neighson just sitting around. I'd hazard a guess that either or both are gonna get to their artillery points eventually.

It takes skill to use. Not like ponies can just see where the hell they're shooting if the thing's many kilometers away. At some point you need a spotter. Spotters are very killable, but by necessity highly trained individuals. Poor ones don't call strikes in right. Even worse ones accidentally call in rounds on themselves. It ain't an easy learning curve. You need supporting gear. Radios, accurate maps, atmospherics. A lack of any of those can be used to limit the effectiveness of artillery, you just gotta know how to write around it. Don't think directly, think about what it needs to work, and target the vulnerable parts.

However, for a number of these discussions simple area barrages will suffice. There aren't many concrete blockhouses being demolished so much as areas that need shrapnel and a softening bombardment.

Not many ponies wear armor, its mostly either steel rangers that would require high end munitions that might very well not exist like EFP or DPICM or nudie ponies that aren't even able to resist a stiff breeze.

This leads to the same issue when ponies start peckering each other with full rifle rounds, they start losing limbs and dying there, much less the issue that intermediate cartridge automatics and even pistol rounds are a significant threat.

Essentially, ponies would drop to medieval weaponry with little issue, let alone being tagged with a bullet or dozen as people like to depict. This greatly reduces the potential for drawn out combat and leads far more to single massive aggressors ala Tofu and the minotaur, brief and lethal as with Frozen Skies and the Lack of Deaths team, WECON and Ham's wildlife only combat (aside from short sharp decisive moments).
Things such as Ouroboros and its multiple minigun wielding raiders, PH and its oh dear fucking god you had to put how bullshitium here?, the original with Pip's constant shot and fade to blacks of blood loss, they're all the mark of fucktard writing for trying to have so many casualty causing weapons and a distinct lack of them.

For reference, look at how fucking terrifying machine gun positions were in WW1 and 2. Eventually it came down to needing artillery and air power to crack them, where single MG nests could control hundreds of meters of front.

from what I've seen, most fans started on 3, and think that's the "bee's knees." or so they would say. They then proceed to ignore the older, more interesting and far more vast levels of shit.

something I liked. according to the timeline, if 3 is included, there are 3 different BoS factions. the west coast, which is the 'standard' miltary xenophobes, the 'midwest', which was an isolated group and survived via including/training outsiders, and the east, which came about because "fuck you I'm Todd and I want a way for players to be forced to be the good guys and have power armor while still referencing the franchise we bought."

>>26048298
I'm sure they all have their own unique fears, but the more generalized fears would be things like their pretty captives getting away and running out of booze/drugs.

But on a more serious note, I'd imagine the more sensible ones would be in a constant state of fear that a group of angry ponies out for revenge attacks their camp and kills someone important to them.

Mach and Atom are both decent with tech and can reasonably cobble together useful things for themselves, sub sandwiches and means of fighting their way out of a wet paper bag.
They both enjoy drinking and flying.
Theirs is a love for explosions.

Yeah I can see this ship working quite well.
Plus I bet Atom would have more fun than injury with him, unlike his other orange love Solara.

And of course they're both massive bondage lovers, Mach's a sub and Atom is a dom.

>>26048298
>What do Raiders fear?

Their deepest fear is not that they are inadequate. Theirr deepest fear is that they are powerful beyond measure. It is theirr light, not their darkness that most frightens them. They ask themselves, Who are they to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are they not to be? They are a child of Balefire. Their playing small does not serve the wasteland. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other ponies will not feel insecure around them. They are all meant to shine, as Shining Ones do. They were born to make manifest the glory of Balefire that is within them. It is not just in some of them; it is in everypone and as they let their own light shine, they unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As they are liberated from their own fear, their presence automatically liberates others

Outlaws thoughts:
Much better with Caltrop this time, she now has a place that is already in the world, as opposed to her previous spontaneous existence.Making her a ganger more than a raider is also a nice touch, though the point that she still is a raider is nice.

Mach is and still remains an asshole. One who is quickly learning there are bigger and more killy things out there than him, that have little reason to put up with him.

The ships and extended trade empire is nice, it makes it feel more alive and connected than just, here be Sanctuary, gaze upon it and wonder why the hell its here ye poor minded mortals.

Greaser's diagnostic spell is fun, how long until she breaks the universe with it I wonder?

Krieg is actually nicer this time around, Mach managed to escape without even a bruise.

Have you accepted Trixie as your lord and saviour yet unicorns? She is a great and powerful deity, that can give you wings!
Hopefully this means we'll see more alicorns chatting and doing things other than combat and murder.

No, calling them the Boopers isn't stupid, particularly as it involves mashing in the muzzle as part of it.

>>26050221
Caltrop's spontaneity and reticence to become involved with people or places was a big part of her characterisation in the first draft. It's one of the reasons she was such an interesting character. It remains to be seen if taking away that willful denial of comfort and complacency will alter her worth as a unique character.

I've been looking forward to introducing that spell for a while, especially with all the talk thread does about how underutilized magic is beyond simple levitation/shield spells. I talked about it a little with the /foe/ggots at EFNW but Riddles (pls) kept the conversation moving along so I'm not sure how many people there really absorbed it. There are also the other two from the original that have yet to be seen, so those aren't going anywhere. That said, I don't plan on using it to break anything.

Anon pls, before he just got choked out. This time he had his head smashed into the wall on top of that.

There will be some more alicorns here and there, but I wouldn't count on it being a regular occurrence.

Murky Number Seven story 2 ramblings:
So if Sooty is able to buy off the guards so well, what exactly is keeping him under thumb as it were? Does he have blackmail material, or is it more he buys off the guard or two that were supposed to look after him, and he suddenly falls off the books?
Otherwise it seems more like at any point the guards could just walk in and declare it null and void, a transfer order could come in, or even just a fight like what Noose did could occur and insta kill him.


I really wasn't expecting much on the pegasus reveal, but wow I am actually disappointed here. Nobody has ever checked beneath the gherkin before? But Wicked Slit gave him a nice thin cut on his back per story 1.
So how did she not figure it out then?
Further, shouldn't his previous masters have known what he was when they inspected him?It seems to actually be a bit contrived that nobody knew murky was a pegasus.

Chainlink Shackles just killing another slaver's slave is a bit at odds. That seems to go back up with Wicked Slit vatting the three, its at odds with the concept that the slaves are valuable and needed, instead putting it more that the slaves aren't so valuable and can be killed freely. Which then messes with the whole true believer thing and Red Eyes promise.

I suppose this fits though since the guards employ live ammo in breaking up the fights, as opposed to rubber bullets and other methods.

A question, how do the slavers not die from the horrible air? Are they nursing healing potions every so often, or are only the slaves going into the unventilated areas?

>>26051464
I think Sooty likes being in his current position, and none of the guards fuck with him because he can get them a steady supply of goods that they want (porn, drugs, other questionable stuff) for free.

The pegasus stuff is pretty damn contrived, now that you break it apart like that. Fillydelphia being a giant system could be an excuse; there were too many slaves and too few slavers, so there were rarely any one-on-one interactions during which someone could look under his jerkin. Still, that's pretty contrived.

The slave killing makes sense to me. It shows that Red Eye's slavers aren't as fanatical as you would think, and that he doesn't have much control over the small scale operation of Fillydelphia.

The slavers don't die from the horrible air because they have masks when overseeing the un-ventilated areas. Or at least that's what they had in The Pitt dlc.

>>26052355
Snooty bothers me since as presented, he's too open, too powerful for a slave. How did he get here? It takes caps, time, and risk to arrive in his position, things a Filly slave lacks. Basically, he is so out of place, I am expecting him to be an agent of Red Eye -dont spoil me-. I mean Artery has to keep all his possessions on him, Murky as well. Slaves don't have a locker and yet somehow Sooty keeps his everything safe long enough to get his easy life rolling?

I mean I get why, there's always a character on good terms with the guards and can get contraband in these sort of stories with prisons. Fuzzy was just following that archetype.

For slave killing, that's part of the point. Is it just everyone is bluffing Red Eye on their loyalty, while they would actually all go drinking and talk about how many slaves they killed that day? I mean as presented, only Whiplash seems to care, and then maybe this "Protoge" but he got one sentence mention. As far as slave drivers, none of them are good at all, and the terminal has the issue of Sooty tainting the results with his machinations.
Its more just the rhetoric not matching the words bothers me.

>>26052666
Oh and
The issue with the air is its everywhere, not just the small areas around the forges. So its basically, how do all the slavers get by without issue, when the very air slowly kills you? Or maybe quickly, a 3 month death sentence, is that fast or slow?
I mean cancer is considered slow with years...

Which means the potions must be being made, since that would be a constant drain on resources. That then makes for a different thing, since making potions punts them up quite far.

Really, Filly feels like what the DPROK would be post WW3 and some years. A mad deadly place that is well above its peers and gone from a joke to a very real nightmare. With the real possibility of spilling out and conquering all before it.

Quick, somebody get a DNA sample from UN, we need to make sure he has insufficient Mongol in him!

There's a thing called suspension of disbelief: if you like the story, you're willing to let a few unrealistic things slide for the sake of an interesting story. Of course, it can get to a point where things get too ridiculous to overlook, and the story is broken (PH). I don't think MN7 has ever reached that point for me.

Without spoiling anything, Sooty appears again later in the story, and some of these issues are explained.

The slave killing gets a better explanation as well, though it's not very direct.

I think either I'm confused about what you mean about the air, or you're confused about the air. From what I remember, the air is very shitty in the factories, and less shitty outside, but it's not killing slaves or slavers left and right. I think it only affects Murky because his lungs are fucked up from taint exposure and are very sensitive to radiation, which is what causes him to suffocate when he goes without radaway for too long. Maybe that's the bad air you're thinking of.

What about aspects of the story that you like?

>>26052912
Oh no I got the suspension of disbelief part down, I accept how story 1 goes just right for Murky to see the Lightbringer to do her thing, find the Pipbuck and be able to make it all work out.

Ah okay, so its more of a Murky specific problem that sounded as though it was applied to all ponies. Gotcha.
So far the world building is good, but doesn't feel as much as 30k words seems like it should be. Then again Sager x Sapph is the longest at 7k for me. So this might be a personal thing of me just being too concise with writing, which was something I lost points on in my classes of not embellishing enough. And now you know why I have purple prose and big word issues.

So far there isn't anything really too like I feel. In that the story says a lot, but its not full of things I can like. A background lovingly crafted of wood shavings in layers, but still missing the subject of the picture. Mechanically sound and currently without content. On the other hand, this will change I think in story 3 now that everything is really introduced, the classic issue of trying to start a fic means the first few chapters are all set up and light on things to make art or recursive fanfics of.

Single scene that got me was with Wicked Slit x Murky rumors starting, simply because it was so unexpected and funny.

Him drawing all over the cupboard was also nice, a sign that he isn't Fuzzy's punching bag and a despair sue.


Fuzzy's take on slavery will be interesting to see more of as it develops between slavers, and how much of a difference between them there is.
Such as Whiplash being a dickish master that gets off to Murky suffering more or less, a sadistic stallion. And then this expected Chainlink Shackles of being a god damned fucking monster of rules, the sort where you will suffer but find new meaning in life from the pain.

And then Wicked Slit, who really needs to have somebody jam the hilt of knife up her slit and

>>26053121
The Wicked Slut scene is good.

I think the story really starts to shine around chapter 8. Until then, you only get just enough interesting shit to keep you on the ride.

Actually, when you think about it, both Steel Rangers and their videogame contemporaries are descended from their country's national armies, which rather than recruit outside over the centuries aside from extenuating circumstances are more likely to recruit among their own, you're born and die a Steel Ranger, in short.

The food/drink theme is essentially the function of a legal surname despite the flexible vocabulary to choose from. And on a subconscious level, Steel Rangers in the present age and have some comfort of mind of having a connection of a ancestor soldier or officer of the Equestian Military who bore a similar name.

Steel Rangers are more inbred than Stable 2.

>>26055608

New Chapter of Homelands is up.

http://www.fimfiction.net/chapter/894824

>>26057385
Hey.

Hey Somber.

Is that you?

You know what you should do, Somber?

You should totally start over fresh and write a Fallout Equestria sidestory outside of the continuity of PH. Give it a likeable main character (like Blackjack in the early days), a focused, well planned plot of reasonable length that has a beginning and an end, and avoid going off-the-rails over-the-top ridiculous with it.

I'm serious. It would be nice to see what you're capable of producing if you leave PH's fucked up continuity behind and start fresh with something new. Hell, what's stopping me from reading Homelands isn't that it's written by you, but that it's part of PH's legacy.

>>26057506

I'm trying to write different stuff that isn't MLP but it sucks. And I'm not sure I should write FoE or MLP anymore. I can write Homelands. I can get the story out. So that's what I write.

So /foe/: antagonists. When do you think is the best time to introduce the main antagonist in a fic? Fics like MN7 and WEcon introduce their main antagonist very early, and quickly establish some sort of goal for them. Malice wants Copper, Shackles wants Murky. I guess it's just coincidence that they're both slavers. While other fics like Outlaw or The Things We've Handed Down hold off on introducing their main antagonist, and instead give us a lesser antagonist. Outlaw has that guy in the spooky armor and Gust and Gale, and TTWHD has Plum Pudding and Muckraker(?). And I guess there's some fics that haven't introduced any notable antagonists yet, like Frozen Skies.

What do you like best? Antagonists established early, or at a midpoint in the story? I personally prefer the former; I think it drives the story along best.

>>26058722
Hmmm. I think either can work. I like a more midpoint antag so the MC has developed a bit by the time we actually see them. Otherwise the MC hasn't had much fleshing out done with their character, desires, and goals.

Also you are posting this quite late at night for what is mainly an American/Canadian general.

It's a difference between escalating antagonists and ultimate antagonists. PH is written with escalating antagonists where each one is supposed to be an ever greater challenge to Blackjack. FoE is written in (semi) untimate antagonists where we're told about Red Eye fairly early on, meet him, and it's made clear that he's intended to be the final challege to LP. FoE could have gone with a triumverate, in which LP could have played A against B, B against C, and C against A. It would have been interesting. Instead, LP handles all three rather handily, without that much difficulty. LP's primary challenges then are more nebulous rather than active antagonists, such as the wasteland and LP herself.

>>26057385
