The Official “Ask the lead writer of SS2 anything” Thread!

Sirick said:
Hello!

We won't be touching anything in the Nuka World or Far Harbour DLC, since that would mean forcing players to have both those (and it would also cause complications when it comes to the main mod). However, there are some nods to the locations and some lines certain NPC's will sometimes say if you interact with those world spaces.

We may touch a little more on those two DLCs in the future, but I would not hold your breath.

Gotcha, I didnt know if those DLC's were required at all. I just assumed all the DLC's were. Not expecting anything more than just a Chapter 3 and then probably Star Settlements after that? XD but yeah worth keeping in mind :)

Btw, cannot express what a great job and you've done on the SS2 campaign and what a surprise it was to get it at all when I first downloaded SS2 to begin with. All these characters really feel canon to me now and as far as I'm concerned, this IS Fallout 5 or at least 4.5
 
Finally playing Chapter 2 after an extended break.

Two questions:

I noticed that the photo on Magnusson's desk has been replaced. Will we ever see it again?

Was The Ron's hair always supposed to be a wig, or was that an inspired retcon?
 
OK. Let's un-hijack Sirick's thread.

I started a new one for the fanfic talk.
 
I've always wondered if we will be able to have Jake with us as a follower when chapter 3 is done. That would be awesome:<3:

I want to know all the major characters' birthdays :<3: Has anyone asked this?

I never gave any NPC a definite birthday (I don’t think...), so I'd just be making up birth dates off the top of my head. When I create characters, I tend to simply give them a rough age range instead.

However, if you were interested, I can give you a list with those rough ages!
(Two characters I adopted/share joint custody of, so Aiden and Cassandra are just how I see them in my head)
Jake: Early 30's
Aiden: Mid 30's
Lupe: Very late teens
Mansfield: Early 20's
Theresa: Mid-Late 20's
Cassandra: Early 60's
Algernon: Early 60's
Berman: Early 40's
Hubert: Mid 20's
Old Paul: Old. (Near or past 100 maybe...)
Stodge: Around 140's
Wise: Late 30's
The Ron': Early 40's

Any other characters you might like to know the ages off, feel free to ask!

What is 'The Ron''s name? Is it Ronald or is it something random like Steve, and The Ron is just a nickname?

'The Ron's real name is Eugene Ronald Spritz, but that's not very cool...

HOWEVER! I think WetRats has created a better name origin with ""Repository Of Nowledge"" and so that is now official canon. (I'll start getting new lines recorded right away!)

I know you've said it before, but Paul being that old given the state of the world still sets off my "seems sus" alarms...
(if you've read as many of my posts as I suspect, pretty sure you know why I think that)

We may not be able to have their western zodiacs but with their birth years we can find out their Lunar zodiac. If anyone was born January or February they will be the previous year. I used your first age post for some of the characters as some of the ages were narrower like Jake. For "near" ages I just took the one year cause I'm lazy.

Jake - Water Snake
Aiden - Water Snake, Water Dragon, Metal Rabbit
Lupe - Earth Rooster, Earth Monkey, Fire Goat
Theresa - Metal Ox, Metal Rat, Earth Pig
Mansfield - Water Rabbit, Water Tiger, Metal Ox, Metal Rat, Earth Pig

Ellis - Fire Goat
Raphael - Water Dragon, Metal Rabbit, Metal Tiger, Earth Ox, Earth Rat
Fiona - Water Dragon, Metal Rabbit, Metal Tiger, Earth Ox, Earth Rat
Circe - Fire Rooster
Cassandra's age range is 10 years so the only signs she can't be are dog and rooster

The Ron - Fire Pig, Fire Dog, Wood Rooster, Wood Monkey, Water Goat
Old Paul - Fire Pig
Stodge - Fire Goat
Hubert - Metal Ox, Metal Rat, Earth Pig

Algernon - Fire Rabbit, Fire Tiger, Wood Ox
Berman - Fire Pig, Fire Dog, Wood Rooster, Wood Monkey, Water Goat
Wise - Metal Tiger, Earth Ox, Earth Rat

(This is my 69th post :todd:)

I agree. Maybe near ninety, but not 100 or older.
