It's a Fallout mod, so it shouldn't be too hard to get yourself playing as a Human. In fact, I suspect they've added the Ponies as an extra playable race, rather than a replacer, which means you should be able to go Equestria Girls style without any further modifications on your part (although why you'd want to do this is beyond me! Equestria Girls was good, but come on, it wasn't THAT good)

It's been a while since I've been on the Nexus, but they had Pony-humanoid mods as a playable race a long time ago. Not sure which character model is more disturbing.

That makes sense. I haven't been on the Nexus since before FiM was even a show (I used to be a modder myself) but they've stuck ponies into just about everything, so why not Fallout 3?

Curious to know if a mod can really be considered "pre alpha," I checked out the website for this. Apparently this is not actually a mod, it's a game they are building from the ground up I assume from stolen fallout assets in Unity.

I do think they're stretching the definition of "mod," but they do acknowledge where the assets come from:

"Fallout 3 models © Bethesda."

They're also not charging anything for this, so I don't think Bethesda would care. If anyone kills it, it'll be Hasbro. They've started trying to own as much of the MLP sub-culture and its derivatives for quite a while now. I don't think they realized where their 20-minute toy commercial series was going to go.

I don't know about "once upon a time". There's been a strong grimdark presence in the fandom for years; perhaps you're just now becoming aware of it?

One fun thing to do is go to a Brony forum and check out some OC biographies. Most of them are edgy and violent in some way. I was reading one the other day, he was a former child soldier pony.

Because Fallout is a happy-fun setting of sunshine and rainbows?

I searched for "OC pony emo" on google images.

One of the results was a pony, who had slit all of it's wrist analogs, writing "I HATE YOU" on the wall in it's own blood.

Fandom's weird yo.

Well, I can sort of see what SDC is saying. Fallout's got a certain campy, ironic streak to it. It's grim, but it has a sense of humor, and it really likes to juxtapose aggressively square 1950s wholesomeness with Mad Max/ TROMA style post-apocalyptic stuff. These swearing ponies come off as a lot less playful and a bit more mean-spirited!

If I did this, I'd probably want to keep the grizzled ponies to a minimum, and make it more like the Pint-Sized slasher questline - evil but silly.

Realtalk the sole justification for watching MLP that I can even vaguely relate to is that it's an escape to a simpler time and serves as a respite to the endless dark grittiness of modern TV. Bronies enjoy the show BECAUSE of its childishness and immaturity, not in spite of it. I get that.

By removing all that innocence to tell a legtimately harrowing tale of survival in a pony-apocalypse setting full of grizzled drug addicts and survivors of pony rape, they twist that paradigm into something genuinely terrifying.

This show I was working on was next to a bar that had wifi and the password was Puking Unicorn. I looked behind and there was a picture of rainbow dash puking up a rainbow, around her mess of emptys. I thought of you :)

(this guy is not very good at drawing Rainbow Dash puking rainbows. I'm sure your bar picture was better!)

Haha I love how it's a tutorial. I kind of wanted to tell her that it's a Pegasus and not a Unicorn, but she was so nice.

There's this one too, but it's the only one I could find online.

That's where I normally hang out. I think it's the same artist.

Oh yeah! I've seen that guy's stuff before, on the internet, but not in person. Dunno who he (she?) is, but that's the sort of "dark" stuff that works really well. It's edgy without being mean.

I asked on facebook.. I'll let you know when I find out. They have dollar Rainiers and my favorite pinball (Junkyard) but it's all the way across town from where I'm working right now. See? I use facebook for the important things! NOW STOP INVITING ME TO PLAY CANDYCRUSH! FACEBOOK RUINED THAT GAME FOR ME!!! :)

I think they replaced the nukes with magic

It seems some things other than friendship are also magic

I think it's safe to say everything in this has been replaced with magic, which is fair, since this is post-apoc where radiation itself behaves like magic.

Ooh ooh can we get a preview of your hilarious witticism

Will it look something like a cunty one-word one-star comment

"Ponies"

--memedumpster, to thunderous applause

I was thinking of writing a limerick for it actually.

WHERE ARE THE SEX MODS YOU GUYS

"I don't understand Bronies. But I won't judge them. I consider them exactly the same as the recent wave of Hipster Transgenderism" what in the ever-loving fuck

You're using way too many words just to tell us that you don't understand a cartoon and/or the people that watch it.

Yeah, no offense Cog, but you're operating under the assumption that there is something gender-taboo about the show. There isn't. My Little Pony is the most gender-agnostic show on television right now, and while it's tempting to assume that there is something inherently "girly" about My Little Pony, that men have to "transgress" in order to participate in it, the fact is that this assumption does not hold up once you actually start watching the show.

In fact, if anything, My Little Pony is taboo by NOT being taboo! Which is to say, it presents a wide range of social concepts, and then refuses to editorialize, instead choosing to depict all lifestyles (from the traditional to the transgressive) as equally valid and capable of coexistence. This is a rather radical concept, as nearly every packet of media these days (from shows to magazines to news stories posted on Facebook) chooses to take a side in the so-called culture wars, whether it's Duck Dynasty firing shots at "queer-ass liberals", or Glee presenting cisgendered fratjocks as nothing more than dumb malicious closet-cases. My Little Pony accepts ALL of society, just the way it is. You've got your traditional girly-girls (Rarity), bluecollar conservatives (Applejack), career-oriented women (Twilight), family-oriented women (Fluttershy), tomboy lesbians (Rainbow, Scootaloo), beta males (Spike), alpha males (Big Mac, Roid Rage), metrosexuals (Shining Armor), possible furry rape-fetishists (Discord)... I could go on, but you get the picture. "Why it is that men watch My Little Pony" is a bogus question, because the simple fact of the matter is, there's no reason why they shouldn't!

People who have never seen My Little Pony always ask the wrong questions about it. (I did, too, so I won't judge anyone.) The question you *should* be asking is: why is it that outsiders automatically assume that a "girl's show" must be... well, girly? And why must all of our focus be on the male experience, anyway? My Little Pony is properly viewed, not as a show that challenges the concept of what it means to be a man, but rather, as a show that challenges the concept of what it means to be "for girls".

If you're referring to the one stars, we aren't missing the point of the site. Somethings just aren't interesting in any way, they're just crap. Bad? Sure, but not exceptionally, certainly not to the point of being worthy of the PoE label.

This is one of those things. It's just crap. Not infuriating crap. Not funny crap. Not horrifying/shocking crap. Just crap.

Dude, it's a 100-hour mod based on a gritty fanfiction of My Little Pony that is longer than War and Peace. There aren't two consecutive parts of this that aren't classic PoE. And I should know. I've been on here for half my life.

Jesus. Half my life. I started at age 14. I'm 28.

I'm 28.

I'm 28.

I'm 28.

Five stars.
