Welcome to the Special Encounters Reborn page. The SER project is still in development at the moment, but feel free to take a look around. The goal of this mod is to eventually recreate every possible Special Encounter from the classic Fallout series (Fallouts 1, 2, and Tactics)

------------Update------------
April 19
2 New discussions have been set up. The first is for the SER development team only, to exchange work etc. The second is much more interesting! Anyone who wishes to contribute ideas, models, manpower or any other support to the project PLEASE post here. This discussion will be checked the most so any suggestions will be added quicker. Also, anyone who gets their suggestions added to the project will be added to the credits as a contributor.

Simplywayne is also developing a fully voiced and written backstory Cassidy to make as a companion for New Vegas as well, although that also needs modders.

Heres a thread with our basic outlines for each encounter, I'd suggest any interest players to read it before suggesting so that way we can improve on our set system
http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/273125-how-special-encounters-could-be-made/

We are also always willing to discuss new possible encounters and pop-culture references to include in future add-ons.

Currently planned Special Encounters include:

- The Bridge Of Death
- Encountering Monty Pythons King Arthur And His Knights
- Encountering Monty Pythons killer rabbit (rat in-game) and the Knights battling
- Nanuk And His "Little Tribal" on 2 occasions
- The Tin Man Encounter
- The Cafe Of Broken Dreams
- The Guardian Of Forever and Past Vault 13
- A wonderous encounter with the Ghoul King Of Pop
- More To Come Later

Possible (But at the moment we should focus on the classics first, then add new ones as time passes) Future Encounters Still Being Discussed
- Zombie Hitler and SS officers
- Tardis From Doctor Who
- Twilight Parodies
- Giant Footprint and Squished Japanese Man
- Cameo From Crypto From Destroy All Humans games.
- Guitar Hero Parody
- Gunslinger (Outfit) and Mexican Bandito (Rauls Outfit)
- Men In Black And Crashed Alien Ship (MIB Parody)
- Hubologists (Scientology Parody)
- Mad Max and His Dogmeat (Parody Of Fallout since Fallout is based on Mad Max)
- Ninjas (Since Ninja Mods Seem rather popular)
- Perhaps some encounters with anime characters (Trigun, etc. I see requests and things like these a lot)
- The Master Chef (Parody Of Halo) This one I'll probably revise.
- We Need a Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Encounter, (But the whale would take too much work)
- More To Come Later.

Some of you may not have played the Classic series so I've included this brief explanation of what special encounters were and how important they were to the enjoyment of the game at the time.


------------------------What Are Special Encounters?------------------------


In the Classic Fallouts, there was no "wandering the wasteland" you traveled using a world map with a grid, so while on the world map and traveling between one area to another you'd occasionally get interrupted by enemies randomly (a random encounter).

Special encounters were different though.

As Quoted From The Vault "Special encounters are random encounters, often non-canonical, and are unique compared to more common encounters which may consist of hostile NPCs. They usually serve as entertaining points of humor, though some are very dangerous (Mad Brahmins), while some grant access to unique, sometimes powerful loot (Bridge Keeper). Most of these encounters consist of humorous pop culture references or other games or even earlier Fallout games (The Cafe of Broken Dreams). "
