This sounds like a great project,Maybe I can help,I don't know the first two things about working with the GECK. But I am a great brainstormer.

ya, just start posting what comes to mind

what I need most is development for my characters and such, backstories and the like, connections between characters and stuff

the characters are listed a few posts back, in blue and green, I mainly want to build off those as opposed to makeing even more people, all I am going to add is mabe 2 more soldiers and a comander guy that protect the city

I really need ideas that help flesh out the specifics of the mod, rather than just giveing me more things to add on to an already complex mod

but any help would be appreciated




and like I said before, you can MSN me at seto@cox.net if you want to chat about ideas

outside the settlement, maybe on a mountain in the woods, secluded kinda
have a shack with someone who grows marijuana/drug like that, then have him go to the bar's basement every X amount of time (actually walk there) and replenish the drug trader/specialized trader there (respawn the merchant chest for the main trader/specialized trader)
maybe have him come at night cause the most of the settlement shuns him for what he does

I think 22 NPCs is more than enough for the mod, and may be pushing it a bit...

So, if you have any more ideas for characters, could you please try to fit them into one of the existing roles. They are mostly vuague at the moment, so you can do what you want with them. And don't worry about changeing stuff, nothing is ever set in stone

[Tony the Wookie]

how far have you got with this wookie.

i just added 14 wepons & am doing 4 armours now.

I am still working on the new exterior houses I am going to add, but once I get a few of those done, I can recycle a lof of the peices to make the other houses, just change the shape of the houses and stuff

I am planning on getting all the houses up first and setting up the town from the outside in




I may possibly have 1 or 2 weapons for my mod, but I really am not going to make that a focus anytime soon... the only one I really want to do is this, for Karen to have

I do however plan on makeing new outfits for all of the major characters

but I am still working on my 3Ds Max skills, so it will be a while before they start looking good

ok, I have a quick request from all of you guys helping me out

could you please tell me how many days (in the game) it took you to complete your playthroughs

I think the game starts on 8-17, and I finished my most recent play through on 11-11 (that is with my going home and sleeping every night)

I just want to get an idea of how many game days go by for most people, so I can plan an appropriate amount of dialogue for the NPC characters (since you get options added on a daily basis) As well as plan when I should have festivals and stuff



I guess I should explain when exactly I was wanting to do as far as the relationships



The idea is that each girl has her standard dialogue options that every NPC character that includes buying stuff and quest dialogue or whatever. But then you also get one option that will appear once every 24 hours (game time) and stay untill you select it. This option would lead to your daily conversation, each one being new dialogue that will develope how well you know the character, and you can respond to stuff to affect how many relationship points you get. Each time you go through the daily conversation you get points, and you can get more or less depending on how much she likes your response. You can also get points from giving them gifts and completing quests they give you. These points will add up, and when they get to a certain level, they move the relationship forward so that she goes from just knowing you to likeing you to falling in love. Or, if you keep pissing her off, she will come to hate you.

There will also be events that can be unlocked, like certain stuff you can do at certain festivals, or dates you can take them on where they get drunk, or even saveing them from a band of Raiders or something.

After you get enough points they will invite you to have sex, and you can also have them move into your house.

I am going to create multiple outfits for the girls that change based on the relationship. Some more sexy outfits for when they go out with you and such.





So I need to know how much dialogue I will need, and I will need to come up with a lot of background and personality for the characters to keep it interesting.

[DigChrono]

I think 3-5 months (game time) is average, I wasted a whole bunch of time (and had a major quest bug that like doubled my playtime)

festivals, etc. should be on a certain day of the week, weekly/monthly/annually (be careful with annually though)
try to add as much dialogue as you can, cause this should (ideally) be several hours of playtime for the main bits, plus a lot more in side quests/relationships/etc.
and don't add stuff daily without you doing things, in case you didn't do anything for 24 hours, but things changed anyway
different outfits is nice, maybe something that they "sleep" in (though not much sleeping will be done )
maybe help them decide on what to wear?

maybe after a certain amount of time and certain level of RPs (relationship points) they could cheat on you with someone else, then depending on RP improvement over time, change how the affair goes, and have hints from people/her/suspicious times of disappearance, but that could get a bit script heavy
