      The Lone Wanderer is in a predicament. Fallout/FIM crossover. HiE

    The Lone Wanderer has been known as the man who shouldered the nightmares of every man, woman and child in the wasteland, so that they may live. But when the Wanderer was once again abducted by aliens, he found himself falling, quite literally, into a whole new wonderous world, untouched by the horrors of nuclear devestation.

    He has been facing other people's nightmares constantly for almost a decade, it was high time he was allowed to wake up.

    Meanwhile, the ponies of Equestria are baffled by a strange object that fell from the sky.

    Fallout/FIM crossover. HiE. T for violence and some language.

    Bethesda owns Fallout, Hasbro owns MLP!

    Pretty good, all in all. Didn't give it a thorough run through, but grammar and spelling looks ok.

    Haven't played Fallout myself yet, but the story still makes sense.

    Looking forward to more.

    From what I've seen so far: Yes, it is "any good". Or rather, it seems to be terrific so far. Your Lone Wanderer reminds me of my own: cybernetic enhancements up the wazoo.

    Actually, I found your author's note quite interesting: "Just an FYI, in this story the Wanderer and the Courier are the same character, so he has much awesome. On another note, a lot of the equipment he is using is made up. Personally if you ask me, if you give a character 10 INT, along with 100 in all the respective skills, then dump them in a place like Big MT and Zeta for a few years, they will be able to unleash much SCIENCE!"

    I have had both of these ideas myself, though admittedly separately. I considered writing a fic where the two are the same character somehow, and another where the two are separate characters but meet and ultimately work together to exploit the wonders of Big MT and Zeta. I even eventually toyed with the idea of somehow sending the two to Equestria (though in my case it was FO:E's Equestria, though the aliens were still involved). Unfortunately, I am actually a terrible writer, so these just remained little story ideas in my mind (which you seem to have read somehow. Creepy).

    I am ecstatic to see these ideas actually coming to life, as it where. Judging from the quality of your writing so far, I have no doubt you will be able to do them far more justice than I would have, were I to have actually put the effort into doing so. Can I mention again how creepy it is that you seem to have read my mind and mashed three of my ideas together?

    Anyway, from what I have read it seems to be an excellent start to an excellent story, and I hope to see updates in the relatively near future.

    As a prereader, I claim this quarry for my own. Seriously, I will preread for you if you need a prereader, mainly because this story is awesome, and a level 100 Wander/Courier with all perks and max stats makes my head want to explode with the awesomeness, and I want to make sure that this story does not slowly die out. Also, I hope that he has good Karma, and preferably he will not kill the everything. Tracked, and take my thumbs. Good show!

    >>248532 The original Fallout 3 didn't have a Wild wasteland perk/trait. It was on, forever.

    And it didn't make you waste a trait point because you want to have a bit of fun in your game (I blame obsidian for being haters...)

    Also, this is....INTERESTING.

    A great story. Tracked, defiantly one of the better HiE fallout crossovers i have been reading.

      Being a fallout crossover i expect violence, but I agree with Frost and hope your wanderer has very good karma. From the sound of your character it seems like he could thank his way out of most situations but be able to put up a fight when its called for.

    My guess is he isn't the only one who survived the crash...

    wanderer seems built like my character max everything unique gear and waltz through the wasteland like the god of war, i can see him helping ponyville deal with the aliens and abominations but i'm worried that after all things calm down he just wont be able to fit in too much fighting for too long has to get to a guy. but hey 6 very special ponies might be able to teach him what friendship can be and give him a home so he doesn't have to wander any longer.:rainbowdetermined2::pinkiehappy::raritywink::ajsmug::yay::twilightsmile:and a piboy makes it all complete!

    Well, I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I'm impressed with the writing and the fact that you're using both the add-ons for fallout 3 and some references to New Vegas (the latter of which I have yet to play, unfortunately), and on the other hand, I'm slightly jealous as I was not the only one with the idea to write a Fallout/MLP HiE crossover fic, and that this one may turn out better than mine, if it hasn't already.

    That aside, this is really good. I'll look forward to more as I work on my own.

    You're doing quite well in my opinion. The story's proceeding at a good pace, instead of rushing into things, and you clearly put a lot of effort into it. I can't wait to see more.

    On another note, I'd like to give you a word of warning. I've seen it done too many times before, and I don't want to see it done now. You need to remember that regardless of how powerful The Wanderer is he can't instantly annihilate all threats around him, nor are all the ponies necessarily weaker than him. You haven't really made this mistake yet, but I felt the need to give you this advice just to be safe. You're already doing good by ruining his kickass armor and seperating him from his equipment, and I realize those things will be fixed in time. Just, remember to keep The Wanderer in check.

    That all said, I'm really enjoying this story.

    I don't mind a romance tag. Since you saying there would only be affection, and not clop, it would be more apt to say its just like he has a really bad-ass pet.

    To be honest, I'm surprised Applebloom didn't notice more of resemblance between the Wanderer and the abominations. Then again, she is a child. Regardless, this first meeting was handled well. Though, I imagine it'll be awkward between him and other ponies when they seem him carrying Applebloom.

    Most writers I've seen (about three) who use two languages in one space who translate them tend to put arrows to show the words being translated. Example: "<“Don’t worry, little fella, I won’t hurt you…”>" This is just something I think would make it easier to read. Also, no objections to romance tag here. Just... it might make you look less weird to others if Wanderer tries to resist these feelings. But hay, I don't know. I don't have the vision or ideas you do. Do whatever. Imma watch ponies now. So far, you seem to update a little while before I can watch the newest episode on Youtube. I uh... feel the need to watch it in HD. Can't be helped.

    Yah, I'd go for that, clop or not, like the sweetness either way.

    If you're not decided, I vote Fluttershy, she seems like a match for a pure good wanderer, yours comes off as a pure mix strength and benevolence, think she'd like that.

    I think she'd also be the one who'd ultimately find accepting the things his life's circumstance forced him to do easiest.

    Oh, and if I had to choose between any of those pairings, I'd have to go for either Applejack or Twilight. My reason for this is that any feelings Applejack has for Wanderer would make sense seeing as he saved and protected a member of her family.  And for Twilight, it's a bit obvious. He's filled with scientific knowledge! She'd probably see him as a knew project or something and then... stuff happens and they fall madly in love!(?)

    So yeah. For me, either WandererXApplejack or WandererXTwilight

    My vote is Wanderer x Twilight and/or Applejack.

    But more like friendshipping, than actual shipping.

    He has an INT score of 10 after all, and a science skill of 100, so they'll be like peas in a pod amiright? But he's already earned some brownie points with AJ for saving Applebloom, or when she eventually learns how he saved her. Plus it's been reiterated so many times in the story just how darned helpful he is to everyone he meets, but gets no thanks for the trouble. And he seems to be the easygoing type, so I'd imagine they would get on pretty well.

    Oh... and you're a horrible person for stopping the chapter where you did. Damn you to hell! :flutterrage:

    HELL YEAH!!!! I cracked up at "That one asshole" part. But as for who to ship, either Rainbow (I mean come on, the biggest badass in the Wasteland with the biggest badflank in Equestria? It just makes sense!) or Twi (after all, the Wanderer has 100 Science and 10 Intelligence, they would get along perfectly.)
