Mutant Invasions

I was just playing through FO again and I wanted to know of the mutant armies actually do invade all of the towns. I wasted enough time and came across a traveller who told me all of the surrounding towns had been invaded. However, when I reached them they were intact. Has anyone ever had a full blown mutant invasion?

No, I've only seen Necropolis invaded.

Same for me, only place i ever saw effected by that was Necropolis. What's the time-limit on the various towns, if there are any?

After 500 days the invasions begin. However, this was removed in the patch so that only Necropolis is invaded...

So if I remove the patch will the invasions begin or will the game just end?

You can't remove the patch. Deleteing and hten reinstalling the unpatched game will let the invasions take place though.

Although I never played the unpatched version I'm almost sure that nothing can be invaded besides Necropolis. After the 500 day limit the mutant armies find Vault 13 (well known movie that is also shown when you tell the location of v13 to Master or Lou) and it's game over. You don't get to see other towns invaded so don't bother.

Actually, the towns DO get invaded. It mentions it in the ending for the town. And the townspeople are replaced wih mutant soldiers, I think (not sure, never checked, too busy at the Cathedral).

The order of town invasions goes eomthing like this (someone posted it on V13, but it's dead):

Necropolis
Boneyard
Hub
...

Not sure after that, but yes, even the Brotherhood get their asses beat (a traitor unlocks the door to the Lost Hills Bunker). It finally ends with the neato ending movie where V13 is invaded.

I make no claims to the accuracy of this- I just pulled it from one of my files and both of my FO1's are uninstalled and lent out, so I can't verify it is accurate, but:

(who: how long from start to invasion)
Followers: 90 days.
Necropolis: 110 days.
The Hub: 140 days.
Brotherhoold: 170 days.
Junktown: 200 days.
Shady Sands: 230 days.
Vault 13: 500 days.

Brotherhood getting invaded? That doesn't sound right, because of their technological superiority and such. Though I'm playing the patched version, so I've only seen Necropolis being invaded.

Maybe I'll have to play the game again and see the invasion of the Brotherhood...

I've never actually gotten it, but according to the end text:

]The Brotherhood of Steel repels the first wave of a mutant invasion, but a traitor in their midst causes the Citadel to fall.
Fortunately, the advanced technology is mastered slowly by the mutants, and they were unable to use it against you.

Yeah but nothing besides Necropolis gets really invaded (in game). Perhaps the ending is different but we don't get to see the mutants in BoS base. That's why I said it's not worth checking. Shit I have to check those endings anyway :runs off:

Yeah, I've used all the time in the world exploring the map but haven't seen any of these places invaded, cept Necropolis. Not worth checking again, I guess.

does it actually say they where invaded in the ending movies?

cause if it does, then you could just wait outside the base/cathedral (whatever is left) and you could just run in and kill them after the apropriate number of days, to initiate the ending.

it would be prety boring to rest for like 100 days, lol
