Author has written 2 stories for Fallout, and Elder Scroll series.

Name: David

College grad and part time writer when I'm not working.

The Fallout New Origins' thumbnail credit goes to He's got really good material so check out that link.

Fallout New Origins is based around the idea of an independent New Vegas and what takes place after the end of the game. Experience with Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and (eventually) Skyrim is a requirement to understand everything. I explain in the Prologue what happens to the Mojave Wasteland but I will not explain in depth the history and story behind all of the places and people. That's not to say I wont try to paint a picture for the reader when describing the setting. I just can't give background on everything I mention in the prologue.

Zero Gravity by Jocson reviews
As far as research groups go, the Research Flotilla named Indomitable was supposed to be as generic as they come. Everyone posted in such a group were usually placed in essentially dead end jobs. A sudden attack changes all of their lives, as the task of rebuilding humanity is left to them. And it wouldn't be easy, as war looms in the background. And war... war never changes.

-Old Story. See Revised for Newest Edition- Soon after the death of Brom, two beings arrive from another reality. One is the last Dovahkin. The other, a former Archmage. Both hailing from Tamriel, and brought to Alagaesia by Dwemeric technology. It makes sense in context. Somewhat. Just know the length of the story is not indicative to its quality. Just the amount of time I have.
