...how would you handle the situation? If a Fallout actually occurred with a similar plot to the game, how would you survive the apocalypse? Please be realistic and try to come up with ideas with the technology we have today!

Here are some starter questions:

- Would you start a new faction like the Great Khans or the Fiends?
- What is your daily agenda during that time?
- Who would you trust and why?
- How do you go about appeasing your personal needs in a time of hysteria?

Be creative and have fun!

Bonus Question: Who in this forum would you side with?

This will sound awful and nihilistic... but if I knew an unavoidable world-scale nuclear war was coming, I'd go to where the bombs were going to hit.  No way in hell would I want to live in a world full of radiation, poisonous water and air that probably would give us all cancer, mutations, and people who are out for themselves - only without legal and morality checks.

Yep, I'd drive right to where the bombs were landing.  Wouldn't feel a thing.

I am with Tesvixen on this one, a quick end is better than a prolonged agony. Surviving would be a agonizing experience. Dem rads are not fun....

For me personally, I wouldn't consider myself as a survivor. In that case, I would most likely be killed either from a raider or natural disaster. I would give a Medal of Honor to anyone who could survive the wastes and rebuild a society. Who knows? Someone could crawl out of a Fallout shelter and recreate Project Purity. Although it takes a massive amounts of years until the radiation levels are reduced.

I cant side with anyone on the forum because they arent from my country and i will survive in day time search for suplies and people and tools to barricade and in night time well i will sleep.If some of the group members is bitten we will cut his/her hand or leg.We will not be raiders but if we have to we will fight for survival and maybe if we find a good place we will set up there make faction and we will make a special council to decide things and we will have elite scavengers that we will call rangers just like they call the elites in Metro 2033.And if some bombs are going to fall from somewhere i create a bunker if i have to i will work night and day to save myself and my family and i will have to think some stealth tactics if they are some abominations such as the deathclaw from Fallout and if they are alive people they cold be some mutants or probably with a small chance we might get real ghouls but not feral ones good ones and if im about to die or im wounded bad i would kill myself it will bring me less pain or some of the group members can do it if i dont have the guts to do it.

I would hang myself. just because i dont think i could deal with the world after a nuclear war.

I'm with Tesvixen too, surviving would be very painful.

Exactly as i would do...i think that we, as living beings, Have to at least try to live on, and since there's Fallout Quotations: Honest Hearts is a good example of humans surviving, yet in a more tribal state, but at least they start again.

Since i still have hope and am optimistic, i think i will keep my gun and bullets (IF i will have them) for the Dangerous outside world after the devastation rather to use them on me, or use the noose for something else more useful for surviving.

With that said, i would search the wasteland for useful stuff and supplies and settlements and at night, getting in a possibly well-defended place i make and use as my refuge, just like any posty-apocalypse survivor would do.

The problem is that we won't know when its going to happen... so no one is going to be ready, sadly :/

it's not about being ready, but not to lose hope when it occurs, it's about surviving it, together.
Ok it sounds a bit idealiastic and naive...because the reality of things is entirely different about people's minds, but that's the only way we can keep on and is still possible.

I just can't stand the thought of Killing myself not to suffer (no offence guys)... the Nuclear Apocalypse will be just an obstacle Humanity has to take down like every other before it, like the Plague was in the XIV century.

Good point my friend, you just changed my mind

i just think humans need more hope in the future, that's all ;-)

Well, you have traits of a leader. I would trust you

Hehehehe i am the next John Connor
Well  that would be cool...but i don't think i can substain such a heavy burden in a very successful way...ensuring the safety of many souls...but in a Post-Apoc occurrence only time can tell what can happen.

If our enemies are robots, then yes!
Only time could tell, any of us could became a great leader, or a bandit.

If I survived the initial bombings and radiation poisoning, I would die in the massive flood that would occur after the insane amounts of heat from nuclear bombs melted glaciers in north and south poles.... along with everything else that can't survive under water.

You could be at least optimistic

"kung fu talking bananas"

For me, I wouldn't consider committing suicide. At least try to support survivors who try to live out in the wastes would probably be one of my goals before dying.
