I'm surprised that people arn't flooding this with posts, since all I see in the requests forums are companion ideas and requests,

Sorry for not replying so soon, I'm going to be busy for today and tomarrow but I am still working on this, just can't talk about it since I don't have much free time at the moment

Hmm I worked with the I_Am_Robot modder in the past, perhaps I'll ask him if we could borrow a mesh or two to make some threatening enemies, and if possible I'll try to make something like cyborgs, since if its all robots then it'd be too easy for players to walk in with pulse weapons and kill everything in like 2 hits. and I want people to feel they really have to earn Cassidy. Yes, I'll do a bit more research on House however. since I can't think of why he'd keep him there alive at all, perhaps we could move up Cassidys arrival to 7 years before the events of New Vegas and maybe say that as he searched the Lucky 38 he "woke" House and then from there House began his restoration of Vegas and preserved his "awaken-er" Also while updating my version of Eve-900 I say a good screenshot of a stasis chamber, perhaps you can contact them to use it or if its from in-game then just use it and maybe retexture it or whatnot to fit your ideas. Floatsup has told me that he has a lot of experinece with modulators, so perhaps he'd be willing to create the A.I voice, I'm about to play-test his mod for him so I'll see shortly if his robotic voices are up to my high standards for Cassidy. I'm a bit busy again today but I'll keep checking around for resources and things that may be useful to this project.

I went that way with the story because I want to avoid NPCs as much as I can since most can't be voiced, So I felt a hidden vault with robots that House didn't know about was the best way to go, since that'd mean you'd have to fight your way in and we could include unique robots to fight, if House is involved its gonna be securitrons. But I'm sure I'll think of a way to comprimise House knowing if your absolutely set on that.

Okay I double posted but I resolved to put in some photos from different modders like Riven (Of the Famous Faces mod) and Tribalizer (Creator of the Burned Man, and the original creator of Cassidy for this mod) Heres how Cassidy will hopefully look by the time we release him. http://i54.tinypic.com/a9pumt.jpg I really loved the idea that his gun has just as much history as Cassidy does, so I suggested that his gun has large claw marks across the barrel, as if he'd gotten up close and personal with an angry Deathclaw alpha. So this is Rivens idea for the gun http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b188/kitcloudkicker1/ScreenCapture001-1.jpg?t=1298485669 And here is Tribalizers.

Wow speedy your amazing, I'm so incredibly grateful to you since I know thousands of people will use your stuff since I've recommended and featured it on every major Fallout modding forum I'm on so It's already gotten maybe around 2,000 views since the last update last week alone!

Hmm, perhaps we can make it work out, Heres my new ideas on the story, The same vault idea with the A.I acting like a venus fly-trap and lures and captures people from the wastes ending up in a scenario like Mothership Zeta with the samurai and whatnot, of course the Vaults only been active for a short time before the war. So that is what should stay the same. Heres what I'm thinking we could do to make it more in line with Fallout lore. But also able to keep it in that mod without making Cassidy seem too easy to get to. Mr. House cannot know about the Vault. Otherwise he'd have filled it up, repaired the A.I, or used its tech to better preserve himself. However, Perhaps the Vault is under the 38 or New Vegas since in pre-war times that was a large tourist location which meant that if people went missing, then it wasn't so hard to dismiss to their estranged families, and also would've allowed for more genetic variation if the people were ever released from stasis (but the A.I failed) So perhaps Cassidy wandered into New Vegas about 10-15 years back, I've already posted why he'd be wandering, and he stumbles into the derelict city since Vegas wasn't fixed or occupied until 7 years ago. So back then it would've been just more ruins to loot or search to Cassidy, unfortunatly he wandered to close to the Corrupted Vault and recieved a radio signal or something drew him in and he became the newest victim of the Vaults madness. Then you could include the Vault into your mod as a quest or renovation, perhaps after awhile your manager or whatever says that a since Mr. Houses death that radio signals are more clear and they've picked up a strange beacon from nearby. And of course I'll write more if you like this idea so far. Does PaladinRider plan to join in this idea as well?

-------------------------------------Catch Me If You Can-------------------------------------

I'm from America, all those things are promoted anyways lol Well except slavery (we had a big war over it), thats more of an overseas thing.

Hmm I'm not a modder but I'll ask some people on the forums if they'd be willing to help with the companion aspects, as for the textures we already have a "clean" Cassidy but I'm trying to add scars and a metal plate like in the photo So I'll focus on that and ask Riven if she can help me with that using her famous faces. The dialogs for the most part are already written down, I'll edit them to fit the new changes in location however. I wrote them originally with the intent of finding him in stasis inside of a derelict vault that has a corrupted A.I that is trying to save people from the bombs by capturing them and preserving them, but never realized that the bombs had fallen long ago so it's just been capturing people. I'll send you the basic outline later on as I'm currently consoltating on several mods as usual, on top of my own school, on top of updating my mega-threads. But I'll have it to you by morning here in Texas. I can't script unfortunatly, however I'm sure that a reader may volunteer shortly, or if not I'll ask a few modders and hope for the best. But I'm happy to see that this is finally getting on its feet.

No I don't mind at all, If you want I'll make more like it, that only took about 5 minutes and the guy was just from some random picture. Also I've uploaded much better made propaganda on my image share. Anyways though, What did you think of the quest idea?

----------------------------Eve---------------------------- Her name (and personality) come from Elvis Presley's 1966 song " " "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. 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.

Hi Everyone, Read the guidelines before posting please. --------------------Suggested Guidelines For Posting Ideas Here-------------------- I'm putting these here to avoid useless posts, So that way people can actually post interesting and inspiring ideas without 500 copies of "I want a Legion companion" as an entire post in between, So when you post please try to follow this example so that people will actually care to read because it will then be interesting. Name Appearance Backstory (Very important, don't post if your character is supposed to just sudden appear and help the courier) How do you meet them?, how do they fight?, and what factions they'd like, etc. And then random ideas like Quests for them, Dialog, Banter, Companion Perk ideas, etc. Here is a starter entry in the format I described. Now mine is a bit more detailed since Cassidy was an actual companion with a lot of character and is even mentioned in New Vegas already. ----------------------------John Cassidy---------------------------- He prefers just "Cassidy" however http://i54.tinypic.com/a9pumt.jpg Cassidy is an older man somewhere around 50-60 so he's not really wrinkled but you can tell he's old. His body and face are covered in scars from travelling the wastes including a dead eye. He's got a metal plate in his head as well and is bald, usually likes to wear leather or combat armor, but he did learn how to use power armor while in the wastes. "Cassidy is Cass' missing Father and was also a companion in Fallout 2 back when the NCR was starting up about 30 years ago, He hated the town of Vault City and travelled with the protagonist of Fallout 2 and kicked a lot of Enclave ass including setting off a nuclear bomb and virus in thier Headquarters. Afterwards he had Cass' and mysteriously disappeared into the wastes." (Backstories are important becuase it leaves rooms for cool stories, reasons why they like certain factions, etc.) Theres more to Cassidy's story but I'm only putting that there as an example for you readers. Cassidy is a crack shot, He's a jack-of-all trades, hand him a weapon and he can use it, He also doesn't mind using hand-to-hand weapons like Brass knuckles to "Tap dance on faces." Just like Cass, Cassidy would likely be out for himself but always believe in doing right, so while he may be happy with the NCR, he still perfers them to people like House. He hates slavery and drugs however so the Legion and Fiends would be a killed on sight and he wouldn't be very kind towards the Khans, and he's not a big fan of people thinking they're better than someone else so he'd think that New Vegas was full of assholes. The rest is on the Cassidy thread, but I think I've shown how it should be done, I mean this example is likely a bit long for most but try to get your idea to be like this so that people will want to read about it.

Okay Now That I have a moment to come back to this... @Omega I do like how it sounds and would love to work with you and Paladin more. Since up until now I've simply provided advice and resources. However, Cassidy would need a lot of attention, I've promised that he will not be another "simple" companion, by that I mean companions who simply follow, shot, and have about 3 lines of dialogs (Which arn't even voiced.) like "You Want I Join?" "okay" and finally "Alright I stay here" If you really want to work on him I'm estatic then, I've gotten a basic dialog down, I even wrote banter for him if you have other companions (Mainly on for vanilla ones like Rex, or Raul...Haven't really gotten around to Cass since she'd be the most complex issue of a Cassidy mod) So I hope you PM me or post here soon so we can discuss features and things. And If we decide to begin, then I'll contact a few modders who want to volunteer things like a custom shotgun for Cassidy, custom facial features (Like the scars, metal plate, dead eye, etc.) and I also had a professional voice actor approach awhile back willing to voice Cassidy if the mod ever made progress.

Hmm... I'm seeing a lot of directions this could be taken, perhaps you should set some guidelines on what your looking for Ghost, otherwise people won't really know how to respond, or you'll just start getting requests for random things. Something like "I'm making a VR mod about [blah] and I'd like to hear how I can build on that idea" would be enough to narrow suggestions so that people are just randomly guessing what your working on. Hope things are going well though

Likely, I included it in my mega resource list awhile back so its been exposed to a few thousand people by now, you did a good job. :thumbsup:

Thats actually a good way to do things, trade favors, mafia style... Hows the mod coming FloatsUp? Let me know if you ever want to do a cigarette one since I'm rather proud of my cigarette quest idea on the other thread.

I really liked this idea so I went and spent 5 minutes making a quick poster that could be used in a mod about cigarettes based on 1950s views on smoking. http://i55.tinypic.com/35jxeuo.jpg

Hey, well here I've pulled a lot of resource models for Halo related things from my modders resource thread -------------Basic Models To Use Possibly--------------- Here is the tutorial for possible modders wanting to use the models or others like them.

Hopefully you'll get what your looking for, also I belive the Halo mod already has some of the guns in it, check thier readme file.

For girls outfits the lady or gohost outfit is from DMC and it was one of the first mods for New Vegas,

I'd like to see a tutorial on this and glow maps as well, I've been trying to get someone to make a neon sign saying "Cafe of Broken Dreams" for awhile now. Hope this gets some attention.

My apologises, I never recieved the message, however that does sound like it may be a good start to things I'll post more later, but I'm currently busy.

I did get bored with it but I got some newer mods that breathed new life into the game for me. nVamp was definitely the defining factor for me, it made new creatures, and also made A.I smarter plus tons more. A World Of Pain was awesome with all the new areas to explore. Plus now there are tons of new quest mods like War never changes, and PuceMoose's Mods. Project Neveda is a part of nVamp but It's pretty cool too. So yeah I feel bad for console players but Fallout on pc is utterly new for me now.
