Simple thought for a Mod but I'm not sure it can be done because of skin tones. Think of it... Long johns with the back hatch hanging open. Yes. Anyone wearing Long johns in the game would be experiencing a full moon.

Simple thought, not sure if it could be done, considering skin tones. Longjohns with the back hatch dangling open. Yes. Whoever is running around using Longjohns as their base layer of clothing will be making sure it's a full moon tonight.

It was a strange thought I had playing New Vegas but I had wondered what would happen if Ed-E, like other companions, could use some of the weapons you give him. Imagine if you could have Ed-E using the effects of various Energy-based weapons such as... The Alien Blaster Pew Pew All the Sonic Emitters The Holorifle The LAER The AER14 Prototype Tri-Beam Laser Rifle All the plasma weapons. You could make it like the other companions where they default to the most powerful compatible weapon in their inventory or maybe in his case you have an added option of "Do you wish Ed-E to integrate any of the following Energy Weapons into his assault relays?" I just thought it would be a cool idea.

I remember those bodies in the minefields near Camp Forlorn Hope and think "Too bad you can't rig some of the bodies you create" like adding an active mine or grenade to their inventory

After seeing this Robot Chicken Sketch I started playing my Courier like Fumbles. Wearing the Chinese Stealth suit or the Lightweight Leather armor, Carrying a sniper rifle with all the mods, maxing out my stealth and guns. It was woring out pretty good. Then I wondered if somone could make Cobra a faction in the mojave. So I figured I'd put this idea out there, see what happens. *Chuckles* I could almost hear sound clips from the series being in conversations.

Ok... So keeping with the idea that Wrenches and Hammers are meant as an 'ingredient' in a craftable item then why not just say Hammer/Wrench + Duct tape = Tool Balanced for fighting ?

You know I'd like to see that. It would give me a real reason to keep collecting all those Single-shot shotguns. Heh. Too bad you can't take A Rake, a Knife and some Duct-tape and make an insidious and cheap trap that could put somone's eye out

Oddly enough there are hockey sticks in New Vegas... they're just not playable. Go into Vault 3 and take a good look at Motor-Runner's "Throne" and you'll see wht I'm talking about. http://images.wikia.com/fallout/images/7/77/Motor-Runner.jpg Still, I'd love to see one of them in action... Heck make it so you can even modify one at a work bench by adding a meat-cleaver to the business end and you got a winner.

An odd thought occured to me when I was playing New Vegas earlier. Pretty much it was about how Nipton somehow remained empty after the Legion 'Lottery' incident. I know that the Courier is just one person, but they come across all kinds of other 'one persons' during their travels. Why not a mod where the the fires are put out, the corpses cleared out, the debris cleaned up and you go from location to location in the mojave looking for people suitable for your own personal town? You (of course) gain the Mayor's office as 'owned', perhaps getting things like a bed, water purifier, workbench and reloading bench in the back room as you can purchase them, and a weekly salary wouldn't go amiss. While you can probably just gain Karma from inviting random people from places like freeside to live there, there are no doubt a number of 'loose end' characters that really could use a fresh start. Seeing as Boxcars is stuck in the General store anyways, giving him Two Medical Braces and two Crutches and five Stim-packs (or a MEdical Skill check of 60) will be sufficent to bribe him to give up his life as a powder-ganger and be the local merchant. The unemployed Deputy Beagle could be brought in as a 'Security Consultant' with a speech check of 40 or one Sunset Sasparilla deputy badge. Companions Veronica Renata Santangelo or Raul Alfonso Tejada might be convinced to take up perminant residence in the repairman's house selling services repairing things. You know... stuff like that. Heh. Would be funny to have every time you walk through town people say "Good Morning Mayor." or "Hey! It's the Mayor"

Well you know the old saying. "Location, Location, Location" Horror is sometimes ie being put into a place where you automatically feel uneasy. Where the familliar is suddenly alien. When playing Old World Blues I was very freaked out by Higgs Village at first. Why? It was idealic and so QUIET! Sure it was well-lit and there was lots of color and the houses were in decent shape... but that actually feels 'wrong' when all your character's life they've been exposed to to a world where everything is dirty and has a 'used for 200 years' look to it. And after envyroments where you're hearing gunfire in the distance, or the odd scream, suddenly it was like a big pair of hands came down over my ears. No wonder 'Stripe' was so effective. I really wasn't expecting him. So always concider some good locations for your mod. Just a few ideas of my own. An old high school with creepy 'Teachers' who capture wastelanders and attempt to force them through their own curriculum. Some manner of touristy roadside museum that is in shockingly good conditon for it's age and closeness to raiders. (What could be keeping them from stealing everything?) A whole region where the game's background music abruptly stops, and all radio frequencies only give faint whispers and static. Maybe an ancient Ramshackle Carnival where the gaity of yesteryear has become faded and twisted over the past two centuries. (clown-themed Ghouls and Carny Raiders anyone?) A survivalist's 'homemade' vault that has an envyromental hazard of a sub-zero atmosphere. (every in-game hour your HP drops a point... even when you sleep ) Five Characters in Search of an Exit. People from five different factions must work together to escape being trapped in an abandoned Mineshaft. (Hazards can include: all available food is radioactive, pockets of flammable gas, repairing machinery, overcoming ghoulified miners and 'other' creatures, and of course... each other. )

There could always be the option of a Triumvurate ending to Lonesome Road. One could be made so that at the end you wind up with the means to scare the trio into working together or you'll make an example of them.

Oh yeah. Like those Shotgun shells that fire Legion Coin. You have a chance of recouping your losses when searching the bodies. Good thought there.

Hmm.. In that case maybe your Luck is a strong modifier in how much you can find. As the main character in a story you can go to a tapped-out mine and still be the one to find that final lucky strike. I

Concidering the amount of gold bars you can carry from the Sierra Madre are limited another alternate source for them could be the "Searchlight East Gold Mine" and the "Searchlight North Gold Mine" If you had a way of tapping into the "Wait" or "Sleep" kind of timers then you could have "How many hours of mining do you wish to do today?". As the timer goes down you hear the sounds of rock crumbling and a pick working the stone. At the end of the time maybe it's your survival percentage that dictates how much ore you've dug up. Then you take it to a Bench to smelt it into Bars with your Repair skill. Gotta admit I'm liking some of the ideas here. *Chuckle* I can't help but imagine having a full set of Faction armors that's been 24K Modded. Legion, NCR, Brotherhood, Kahn just to name a few. Heck... I'd LOVE to see a 24K modded White Glove society Tux with Top hat and Cane. A silly thought but cool as hell.

Well then perhaps it can be used for Weapons Mods and Armor Mods as well? 24 K Laser weapons and 24 K Plasma Weapons could visually look like they're gold Plated. The in-game effect of the gold replacing the circuts could mean you use maybe 50% less energy from your power cells. With a 24 K Armor Mod you could put a thin coating of gold on any armor and not only totally Bling yourself out but decrease Laser and Plasma Damage as if you had the "In Shining Armor" perk. Heheh... Imagine entering the Brotherhood Bunker wearing 24K Power Armor
