Agreed, and with the recent surge of players lately I've come back for a short while to check on things like this thread. I'm glad its still helping people but It should be stickyed one of these days.

Its wonderful that this thread kept going after I got shipped to war for awhile. Anyways, I wanted to throw another gun idea out from deviantart. Here is the link since Idk how to....wait...one second okay nevermind, Here is the picture. http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/140/6/3/steampunk_ray_gun_2_by_diarment-d3grm94.jpg

Have you looked at the mods that already do this effect to see if they already have the answer to your difficulty? Also posts like ths should be posted in the troubleshooting forums since that is the forum designed specifically for questions. But anyways. After you look at the other mods like "Bottle That Water Mod" etc. and fix your problem I'd recommend reading "How To Become A Fallout Modder" which is in my forum signature. It's linked to lots of tutorials to help new modders or players on modding and scripting so that they can eventually create any kind of mod they want. Note..... Please read the whole thread (or search through it with the search bar) before posting. It's bad for the thread when people post the same questions over and over when they already have been answered.

If you want ideas then Quetz is right, also just start little, like design an NPC for yourself or script a small scene or something. Don't rush in and get frustrated or overwhelmed. Modding is a process, not a race. However if you'd like I usually make threads for people to post unique ideas and types of mod ideas. So your free to look at the threads linked in my signature for ideas on what to test your new skills with. If you want to continue learning then read the "How To Become A Modder" thread which is the first link in my forum signature. Best Of Luck

Hello Everyone!

For readers Who want to continue to make suggestions on possible encounters and scenarios please post your ideas on The S.E.R Suggestions And Ideas Thread. We hope to post a list of the encounters that have already been suggested soon. For modders or anyone wanting to discuss the building and scripting of S.E.R we have The S.E.R Development Thread to discuss with fellow modders on methods and also if modders would like to join the team. For General discussion on S.E.R or Special Encounters from Fallouts 1, 2, and Tactics then please post on The Fallout Special Encounters Reborn General Discussion Thread

Hello Everyone! I know this thread is old, but since the S.E.R project is running again I felt that this thread should be linked to the actual project. Down the road Likely S.E.R will hit problems and this will likely be where we ask for help so it's important to update I believe. S.E.R file page here on Nexus. For readers Who want to make suggestions on possible encounters and scenarios please post your ideas on The S.E.R Suggestions And Ideas Thread.

I don't know if I linked it already but lately we've added around 8-12 more companion ideas and things to the main thread that this one is based off of. "Post Your Companion Ideas Here" So if you enjoyed Eve, then I'd recommend looking at that thread as well.

A few more updates today, not much but I'm still always looking for more usable resources for all modders to use freely. If anyone knows about resources I may have missed then please post a link to it here! Keep On modding Everyone

Paladin is currently looking for voice actors for the "Run The Lucky 38 Mod" if anyone is interested I believe his thread is also in Mod Talk

Pushing the thread back to the front due to the large increase in members asking questions and making threads when they could already find the answers on this thread. Keep up the modding everyone

While playing Dead Money, I came up with the thought that perhaps a robotic dog could be tied into the game through, perhaps the Courier finds some usuable pre-war tech that Christine or Veronica can alter to work on Rex, enhancing him with a robotic exterior and of course an enhanced intelligence and speech ability.

Alright, I will try that...but I'll stick to the form that people are using since the OP is right about it. Companion: Fawkes Companion Perk: Master of Arms: Fawkes can teach a thing or two about weapons handling, you are no longer subject to weapons requirement to aim properly, however the training is strenous and you now need 2 strength points to carry all weapons properly. Profile: Since the Lone Wanderer's exploits in the wasteland, Fawkes and some super mutants decided to head west when they have heard of a super mutant haven called Utobitha. Hoping for a place where they can belong, they arrived just in time for Tabitha to take over the place and assume control as the leader of the place. Fawkes and his band of Super Mutants were soon drafted into Tabitha's conquest and was sent out as an "invasion force" against those who oppose the Utobitha. While Fawkes was sensible enough to desert them (Plus he had a bigger gun than the most of them). Most of his comrades joined Tabitha's cause and was carrying stealthboys and started harassing NCR and Powder Gangers. with the advent of a war on the horizon, the Courier finds himself between two different sides of super mutants. Unlike most companions, he would gladly join right off the bat provided you are high karma Weapons: He carries a Super Sledge and a Laser Gatling Gun Loyalty Quest: A disease for a Remedy. Help Fawkes settle the issue of the Jacobstown/Utobitha War. After completing the quest "Crazy, Crazy, Crazy", "Come Fly With Me" or "Guess who I saw today", Fawke would tell you about his past in the Capital Wasteland as a Super Mutant and how despite being shot at by men in powered armor, they never had to worry about going mad. He shows a good deal of concern over the well being of fellow Super Mutants and nightkin who were the hardest hit by the insanity. He decided to talk of "liberating" Utobitha from Tabitha's tyranny, even if you did kill her the issue of Nightkin loyal to Tabitha remains a concern. He talks about an invasion plan that will sucker several mercanaries groups to weakening the resistance in Utobitha so his fellow supermutants can close up for the killing blow. The first task is to find mercenaries, Powder Gangers Mercs are willing to join if you provide them several C4 or with a science check, several sticks of dynamite and 5 stealth boys to set up an ambush against them. NCR mercnaries are willing to sign for the cause if you have done several good deeds for them (Complete 5 NCR Quests) as well as a signing bonus of 1000 caps. Several Legionaires who are hungry for honor will join you if you can persuade them that fighting the abominations will make them famous. However they still need a strong leader so they pit you against one of their finest gladiators. Defeat him and they will take leave from Caesar to hunt the Abominations. Likewise, the Khans will join you if you prove your loyalty and pass a speech check to let some of their young ones go in and try to fight (Papa Khan wants to put the kids through their own trial by fire.) Once you are ready to attack, you give Fakwes the Signal and the mercs will fight their way up the mountain. Take out any Nightkin resitance as you scale the mountain once again and your forces will reach the top. There you will find Leo, who have been indoctrinated by Tabitha and was willing to kill the Courier and his old friend for Tabitha's sake. You can broker a ceasefire or using terrifying presence and threaten to make him disappear permanently or just outright kill him. regardless of the outcome, the merc are getting antsy on each other and prepare to fight. Talk them all down or kill them all with Fawke and complete the quest. The reward for the quest is a perk for him which is either "Mutant resiliance" which improves the damage threshold significantly against all abominations or "Mutant Ambassador" which gives you a discount of +10 barter when Fawkes is in your party. Unlike Ghost Town Gunfight/Run Goodsprings run, the requirements of this loyalty quest is much greater.

It seems we do! I'm definitlely adding in your thoughts on the subject, It could make companion invaluable tools and much more tactical indeed.

As an update somewhat, It seems that recently (or today) Sagittarius22 (Creator of the awesome Reactive People mods) uploaded a mod with a similar idea of tracking enemies if any readers are still interested in ideas like the ones in this thread. Sagittarius' mod involves tracking blood from wounded enemies instead of footprints. Here is the link: Sagittarius22 "There Will Be Blood" Mod

Since I posted this idea on the Vulpes and Benny thread I thought I'd post it here as well to be fair. Anyways awhile back, I started a thread for custom companion ideas (By that I mean new people, so we don't mention Benny, Yes Man, Ghost or Vulpes since they've already got threads like this.) Anyways for that thread we have a guideline to avoid 500 copies of "I want a Legion companion" or "I CAN HAZ BENNY PLZZZ!!!!"as an entire post. So that way people can actually post interesting and inspiring ideas Heres the original post with some editing. --------------------Suggested Guideline For Future Ranger Ghost Ideas-------------------- So when you post please try to follow this example so that people will actually read because it will then be interesting. Name (What her real name should be) Appearance (We all know how she looks, so you can skip this, however some improvements could be made) Backstory (Very important, don't post if your character is supposed to just suddenly appear and help the courier who is likely a complete stranger) How do you get her to Travel with you?, How does she fight?, and What factions she'd like besides NCR, etc. And then random ideas like Quests for her, Dialog, Banter with other companions or comments on locations, Companion Perk ideas, etc. It's just an idea, you can ignore it if you don't like it but I felt it'd help make Ghost more detailed.

Okay thanks to the moderators for moving the thread for me. Now we can discuss this correctly.

@TrinXaS Wow you and I do think alike it seems, I'm about to post a guideline for future posts and your post already fits it pretty well! Amazing! Since I see this thread pop-up so much I thought I'd interject a little idea to help you all to develop your ideas better.

What Skills would he specialize in that are helpful? (Benny having 100 speech doesn't help the courier at all.) And then random ideas like Quests for him, Dialog, Banter with other companions or comments on locations, Companion Perk ideas, etc. It's just an idea, you can ignore it if you don't like it but I felt it'd help make Benny more detailed.

Sorry but its actually an old idea that I've been pushing for awhile now. Heres the thread "Rex Improved, or A True Cyberdog addition"

Sorry everyone this was meant to be posted in the requests forum, my mistake and I've notifed the mods to fix it for me hoepfully.

I'm posting a seperate thread for Eve since people really seem to like the idea, my original post can be found on the "Post Your Companion Ideas" thread, which you can post on after you read the guidelines for that thread. Otherwise don't bother people. Anyways. Onto Eve. ----------------------------Eve---------------------------- Her name (and personality) come from Elvis Presley's 1966 song " " Here is Elvis singing the song if you'd like to listen. "I'm lonely like Adam, you're evil like Eve" http://www.newvegasnexus.com/imageshare/images/1234539-1300886927.png I used Hayatoshi's Havestar photo to better illustrate how Eve would look like except Eve has dark hair. So this is just an idea, no one is currently making her so don't ask. Eve is a black haired beauty, with a soul just as dark. She's not a raider or ugly, she's likely one of the only post-war women to learn about make-up and how to look good as well as manipulate, because she learned from a young age that beauty and evil best go hand and hand. She usually wears her own combat armor which she got from killing a female officer who wasn't paying enough attention to a certain shadow, She's made her own "adjustments" to the armor since to make it feel more like it's unique to her. Eve has a past, she just won't tell it to anyone she doesn't trust and so far she doesn't trust anyone. Eve is from back west like the NCR but thats all they have in common, she was educated thanks to an old computer in some ruins she'd lived in for years, She has always known kindness, but also knows that behind every kind word someone speaks, there is a selfish motivation behind it. Shes travelled to the Mojave to find the one people she feels are truely honest with thier intentions and that are as dark and spiteful as she is. Eve's a sadist, but shes not vocal about it like raider women are, but it shows in her perfered ways of fighting people. She enjoys sneaking up on people and as she calls it "watching the lights go out." Of course she's smart enough to realize that melee combat is not the best choice in most situations, so she can use pistols and rifles, when she uses guns she likes scopes as well since it makes her feel like shes right in front of them as they fall. I haven't thought up how she and the Courier met up yet to be honest except she'd have to join them early in the gameplay since Eve is supposed to have trust issues and developing trust takes more that 5 minutes of voiceless dialog, I'll edit it in later if people like her. After her and the player meet which would be early in the game, She will join them after asking a lot of differing questions, players' answers will decide if she joins or not. Afterwards you go on about your normal playthrough with her as your companion, and during certain vanilla quests she'll give dialog and opinions and developes more character. Eventually after maybe 5-6 "important" quests (Ones that affect reputation and karma more than others.) She'll have opened up enough for the player to guess she's wanting to see and possibly become a part of the Legion since shes always been lied to and she feels the Legion is a truely honest (but evil) group. I've got more to write but I'll wait until readers ask for more since I've already posted a lot more than I thought I would, so if you liked Eve ask or comment about it and I'll post more about her.
