I. Why the Name Project Brazil?

Because I was watching Terry Gilliam’s 1985 film "Brazil" when this all got started 4 years ago. We polled our facebook fans about a name change, and they overwhelmingly voted to keep it. So it stuck.

What the hell are you talking about?

 

[Hobbit Lord of Mordor_]

No clue, I'm not gonna play to find out

Basically:
- two character archetypes (nerd and athlete), very first choice you get
- pre-selected skill tags (melee, unarmed and speech)
- special points handed out free (+3/-1 pts 10 seconds into the game, +1 CHR for picking persuasive dialog choices... which you could only pick from already having high CHR)
- characters out of some teen sitcom
- dialog skill checks that you get punished for passing
- fake dialog choices (go thru until you exhausted everything and pick the right 'end')
- a million NPCs just milling around you can only say 'hello' / 'goodbye' to, lockers filled with tin cans / coffee mugs / toy cars
- main intro quest can be broken (not completable)
- some stupid story about mysterious orphan past that was making my head hurt


edit: Brazil is a good film, I don't think this mod is

Tsc, 3 replies and none took the awesome hook for a joke I left...

 

[Clockwork Knight]

[Hobbit Lord of Mordor_]

I actually like this in RPGs, makes the cities feel IMMURSHIVE.

Other than that sounds kinda shitty.

Favelas and post apocalyptic RPGs?

Half of these forums are eastern european, they don't give a shit.

Felipompey Pompílio Pomposo.

I'll be going to bed now, bye.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

By the way, read a few items down the description at the Nexus site

Post-Apoc Rio

Just come here, take the subway and pray that there's yet another collapse on the electrical network. Every train will be forced to go back one station and puff, instant riot.

 

[felipepepe]

Post-Apoc São Paulo

I never saw the Pre-Apoc São Paulo.

 

[markec]

Tho mod is a waste of time, both for players and modders who spent 4 years creating it.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Why it's called Brazil, btw?

Because this whole "brbr?" meme guy is like an average Fallout 3 fan?

 

[taxalot]

I am confused. Wasn't the country named after the movie ?

 

[St Antony of Padua]

The movie and the country were named after the jazz standard.

 

[Seerix]

This mod has very unpleasant halfassed feeling to it that made me really surprised when they actually did release something. And they claim that Vault part is finished save for a few fixes when half of it is inaccessible and the other half is literally falling apart. Most of the scenes after the dream sequence can be easily broken or won't start at all and there's entire reactor area in the Vault that serves no purpose whatsoever even though you can interact with stuff in there and it and all those "inaccessible" doors have no explanation anywhere. It's more like alpha build test than any actual release

All things considered it's a total piece of shit, especially if compared to much better and actually complete mods like Beyond Boulder Dome, New Vegas Bounties or The Inheritance. And those are fucking awesome.

 

[Delterius]

Yeah, but this one doesn't have enough ghouls, ruins and scattered technology!

Ghouls? See the Cracolândia picture.

Scattered technology? That's merely realistic. Its Brasil, we rent technology from other places. As in, buy stuff, forget it somewhere and then buy it again.

Ruins? You're kidding, right? Is Belém do Pará some sort of south american Eurotopia? Did the Fordlândia never actually cease and you guys move your capital there?

 

[Delterius]

Just write 'Goiânia' on google. Its literally the first search suggestion.

Also, the brazilian apocalypse in action.
