Ashes Afterglow TC - closing the vault

[ButtonBoy]

Hey Vos I just had a really cool idea, so we are presumably going to Tennessee for ep 3 right?, in Tennessee the only permanent native American dwellers were the Cherokee, since they were the main tribe in the area it would be really cool if in ep 3 you stumbled across some of the survivors of that tribe, who through reverting back into tribalism, have survived the nuclear apocalypse and are now thriving, TLDR, it would be really cool if you added a native American tribe that you could encounter in ep 3, they could be a faction that you could side with, trade with, etc. I just think that this is a really great idea

Hey Vos, I'm literally just "dooting" my own horn here, but I think this would be pretty cool to see in ep.3, just sayin also I'm curious and I don't know if this has been asked before but why was Atlanta chosen as the setting for ep1/2 out of all the places that could've been chosen why was Atlanta and the surrounding area chosen?

I finished it today. Great game, sadly I don't know English so much to say how fantastic it is. Definetly 10/10.

is there a way to convience Athena to stop the nukes?

If you think New Vegas had a lot of cut content you should see how much content that Tactics cut out for the dumbest of reasons Some of that stuff included important lore

What did get cut from Fallout Tactics, and do you know where I could read up on it. I would like especially to know about the cut lore.
It has been a while since I last looked up what was cut from FNV. I do wish that we also got to explore Arizona and that the Legion was more balanced.

I hope mods won't mind me linking two videos.

Discovered a new bug. When you kill the ghost enemies with the master blaster they leave a static upright sprite with a big flame it doesn't seem to look right. I Don't remember seeing it previously. Just before the death cycle is done it looks normal and then at the last frame it changes to the weird looking death-flame sprite

That seems like the code's calling upon the wrong sprite. Does this happen to Phantoms too, or just Haunts?

You know after giving it some thought, I'm going to call it right now. There's been psychics, mutants, plant monsters, behemoths, ghosts, and dangerous AI. There's only one way to go from here, cyborgs/androids. I predict that the AI from Afterglow or another AI may get inserted into an experimental battle android/robot body and become something similar to the Terminator.

I don't know if Vostyok wants to feed the Athena waifu trend we saw earlier in this thread lol but the facility Athena said needs to be reconnected to her near Nashville could play a role in that. Now that you mention androids though perhaps there's a Fallout 4 Institute type faction out there - maybe the Empire who we know snatches people up if they're found to have the briefcase or the Weathermen another faction we know even less about - that wants an AI like Athena to work for them and be unable to cause the damage we find out she did. I don't know why Athena would need or particularly want a body but I mean I'm sure they'd make it make sense if that's where they decide to go with it.

I just want an option to kill/slap the crud out of Athena.

Why, what did Athena ever do to you? , she's just a nice robo lady who caused nuclear annihilation, there's nothing wrong with that, the was the government was just probably having a bad day and then ordered her to launch the nukes, and then she was like oopsies! I guess I gotta keep humanity alive now, but big bad new guard calls her a monster and erases her memory, she's not the villain of this story ( but she totally is ) also what's this about Athena becoming a waifu?

Athena just screams Shodan from a mile away, She's just good at hiding her intentions.

you know, you're probably right because it makes a fair bit of sense, I do get some Shodan vibes form her and I definitely do get the feeling that's she's hiding something but I guess that's kinda the plot for ep 3, to find out what Athena is hiding form us/find out the truth/find out her secrets

Would be cool to see a side chapter playing as Porcelain on her big adventure.

While that idea does sound interesting, I'm afraid it would be all too samey as the past Episodes, (and i think Vos already have enough on his shoulders) Sure you can give her the ability to perform wall climbing, But that would mean designing maps just for her. As well as something else unique, Like lower health or whatever, someone interested in creating a campaign just for her might show up someday though, Who knows.

Agreed. Porcelain's adventure would be better set as a recursive mod (a "mod of a mod"), similar to how Dead Man Walking was to 2063.
