You know the drill. Guy goes to convention, gets an item, gets sent to Equestria. But how will this guy act when he becomes a huge robot that essentially has infinite nukes?
Summoner: Alright, let's see what this Displaced looks liii...*starts looking up all the way to Liberty Prime's head* Well, this is awesome and depressing at the same time.
6094533 Good points. Only, Prime was never officially completed before America fell, it was the Brotherhood of Steel who finished him, and that involved tweaking his AI a lot. They likely did something to register hostiles as "commies" and non-hostiles as "democrats" to fit his IFF programs.
That aside, besides "aim at objective, hope for the best" the Brotherhood never managed to do anything specific with his programming. Hell, we're lucky he isn't just outright killing everyone.
You actually managed to write a "confident smartass" Rainbow that doesn't sound like an utterly unlikable asshole because of it, which I think is a first for this site. Gotta give you kudos for that. Nobody else ever seems to get that right.
Also, this story is going to give people mood whiplash so fucking hard. I don't think I've ever seen someone go from tragic backstory mode to silly videogame reference in two sentences before. Can't say I dislike it, though.
So, if ponies had planes, cars, guns and who knows what else 90 years ago, just where did it all go or has tia declared all of that "for military only!"and if that's the case where was all that tech during the Changling invasion??!
6095762 Oh~ be patient~! Dox is the original idea-man for this big, 30-foot baby, and I can't confirm anything, but I want to propose some awesome things to him~.
I've never seen that obnoxious name for Celestia in a Displaced fic...
Anyway, I have to admit that I actually love how in-character Dash was in this chapter. Real determined and a bit full of herself, but still very likable and loyal. Also, very funny personality.
That said, that explanation for no one reacting to Starlight's death was entirely unbelievable. Ignoring the hilariously unlikely idea that Equestria would even imagine having a death penalty, that still wouldn't mean they wouldn't react to someone they personally know being crushed into a bloody, pulpy, mess.
6097305 Truthfully? Both Displaced and LOHAV had few gems, but most (like, 99%) are so full of shit, they aren't even worth reading more than one or two chapters.
It's honestly a shame. I know it's pretty obvious by now that I'm not too fond of Displaced or LOHAV, but the premise is actually pretty interesting. The problem is that pretty much all of the stories (except for a very, very small number) have absolutely horrible execution and are filled with bad writing, memes, and references. They could have been so great, but now they're basically a joke.
Congrats on the co-author! Still liking this so far. And I really hope this story goes well, because I've noticed with a lot of displaced stories they seem to start with a good idea for a character. And if it has good writing then the story goes about its day being evil or not, and slaying pony evil. but they never seem to get to the point of the story, They just wander on in an almost drabble-like fashion.
6231908 Megaspells were originally designed by the ministry if peace(?) to heal an entire battlefields worth of dead ponies. So in reality, you are hoping he doesn't learn of its more.......dangerous uses.
Excuse my rustiness. I only read Fo:e a year ago......
nice
Unrelated to the story, yet related due to content.
Fallout 4 literally ruined the rest of E3 for me.
It was like:

Also, RELEASES 11/10/15
You're welcome.

Final Edit (I Swear, Really Youse Guys):
This is shaping up to be good! Also, can't wait for cross-overs to start: the faces on the unsuspecting summoners...
6094117 I can see it now
Summoner: Alright, let's see what this Displaced looks liii...*starts looking up all the way to Liberty Prime's head*
Well, this is awesome and depressing at the same time.
Ganejunkie....
Should i expect incredible random scenes that involve sex?
XD
6094192 Get ready for some hot steaming democracy.
6094111 I want it I want it I want it I want it.

Special edition comes with a pip-boy that you can wear and put your phone into.... with a pip-boy app as well, that will release.
Also, they've probably released the vault app game that they mentioned in the conference, where you're an overseer running a vault. It's also free.

Then he will be captured by twilight for study. Liberty is going to have to save him. Possibly destroying the town in the meantime.

6094533 This is likely Fallout world, whoever's in charge won't give a fuck. Hell, probably start a new resource war with Equestria.
Let's hope radiation poisoning doesn't become a factor for them.

Well looks like the grand sunbutt is scaving military tech from long dead Men.

Not every story needs a 'point'. It's all in the execution.
6110371 You do have a good point, however when most of them do that it gets tiring... In my opinion.
... Welp, time to read this while waiting for the next part of Dox's tale.
Edit: and now I am caught up... Damnit.

*dies from laughing at dat edit*
Edit: What next, reading my crappy canceled story?
6193361 Nah, canceled stories make me feel depressed. Instead I am checking out other Displaced stories.
I hope to god that he doesn't learn about mega spells.
