I'm planning to do a Fallout game with some friends, the idea being we'd play 1-shots once in a while when we have the spare time, and some time passes between each sessions that reflects the advance of seasons.
As the players would be Vault Dwellers sent on basic missions, it helps that the party start and end every game at the Vault.
Now, I was wondering.. fallout can mean so many things. How far after the bombs fell do you believe is the best time to start this game? Is it funnier for the players to have already established new societies that have emerged (like in New Vegas or Fallout 4), or is it better to be in the wasteland where only a few settlements of survivors have started gathering, but no large scale trade or production is truly happening (like in Fallout 1).
Fallout 2 being a sweet in-between spot between the two, where properly formed societies are starting to emerge and reach out toward each others but have not have had a history.
This is.. if you were invited to play a Fallout game, would you be dispointed if there were no Brotherhood of Steel because the game is set at a time/period where they are absent? Would you be expecting a world like Fallout 4, or Fallout 1?
