Nexus' Fallout Canon Discussion

Another question. Vehicles, completely screwed forever or could someone with a lot of time, the proper know how, and access to parts/fuel get one running again?

Apologies if this was covered in the guide, I missed it if it was.

Edit:  Yet ANOTHER question!  Robotic prosthesis, ok or not acceptable on characters?  I figured that since prewar tech was to the level where they were making androids and cyberdogs that robotic prosthesis were in existence and not an unusual sight on amputees.

Have a character in mind that's missing a leg, just want to be sure his replacement leg wouldn't be lore breaking.  If it is indeed lore breaking, I'll scrap him.

Not true. Androids were invented post-war by the Institute, so only things like Protectrons, Mister Handy's and Securitrons existed pre-war in terms of robotics. Cyberdogs existed to a degree, but were more developed later on by the Big MT and the Enclave. In my mind, the only person capable of robotic prosthesis would be The Institute, but that's a very grey area, to say the least.

We had a guy with something like that, and no-one seemed to even bring it up (which I found odd). As long as it's extremely mechanical and rather bulky, you could have an implant in the brain which let you control it I suppose, but that's just speculation.

We allow for vehicles, assuming you're okay breaking down a lot and their main plot device is trying to keep them running The thought behind that is the NCR has vehicles, but it takes a fleet of engineers to keep them running.

As for prosthetics, yeah mechanical prosthetics are fine. Much like the most recent developments in those ways. Grafted on, probably not, but you can always cover it in bandages

It'd still be quite rare. And expensive, so you'll need either the Followers, some private surgeon or be a part of the Brotherhood/Enclave.

He's a part of said fleet of engineers, so if they didn't break down a lot he'd be out of work haha.

He's going to be a whiz with machinery, intended for him to design the prosthetic himself but would have spent a good deal of time with the Followers undergoing physical therapy and learning to walk again with it.

I'll try and get him posted today, then I'll edit him as the mods and admins require.

They're in our canon, yes. The ORA are still currently at war with the NCR in Oregon, I believe, but will likely have control soon. There wouldn't be a point if they weren't in our canon.
