I always thought that a Motorcycle Mod would be the best mount for fallout.

If I remember correctly, This mod..." http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/50829/? " has mobile sentry turrets that can be placed in and out of your inventory.

This Thread was like 3 yrs dead people.....

I downloaded a 10mm SMG mod that looked good. It caused a CTD. I installed like 10 mods with it.... It took me forever to realize that it was the weapon mod that was causing the problem (witch is unusual)

I write (although I normally right narrative stories, so I would have to study script scribing). I would be happy to help with that. Also I used to work with video editing software (videopad, the pre-win8 one 'when it was good'). So I know how to make basic video edits and changes (although I have to use Win Live Movie maker because I had problems transferring my software to my new computer).

That's a good point lol. Guess it's up to your own imagination whether there was or not. I'm not too sure personally what I want to believe, but either way the courier isn't privy to the information directly so i'm going to play it on the side of caution and assume there isn't until proven otherwise. Just to add, the knowledge in how to make more securitrons would most definitely be in House's computer network, which should be able to be accessed by Yesman as well. ^^ Not only that... So there is more to support there being a productive aspect of the Securitron Vault than there not being one.

No that's the mod I did right after I read this thread :D. Took me about 30 minutes to do since I just reused assets from other mods. No way it'l be anywhere close to an exact replica but from far away and drunk, it'll look the same :wink:. I had to read this twice before I realized that he didn't know that was your work in response. I keep telling you and dave, the profile pic makes a difference.

This.......... You theoretically could use the original "Red Glare" and "Mini-gun" if you do this. As long as the player doesn't TCM to your model you have nothing to worry about.

I think we simply aren't looking at the question from the same perspective of who would be better for future growth and stability in the Mojave. I never said or claimed to know how easy it was to hack into the systems, so why make it sound like I was saying that? Even still, it doesn't matter if there's a 95% chance no one will ever hack it. That 5% chance is more than enough to make me unwilling to use the securitrons for a primary defense force. And we can talk about the exact canon such as the end credit scene, but who is the narrator anyway? Someone who looked back on history from credible sources and is recounting it? I don't put full faith into his summation of what goes on after the fact. You and only you shape the future of the courier. My experience and outcome is never the same as anyone else's playthrough, because I decided to kill or spare certain people. I decided to complete some quests and not complete some, and do so in different ways. To say the narrator is this omnipotent being who states with 100% certainty everything that will happen is just not what I think is meant to happen. Again though, these games are subjective. So if you want to take it as gospel, then go right ahead. But don't force me to as well. And all of your other points are purely assumptions that aren't able to be fully predicted. I'm not saying you're wrong, but you are just as right in saying there will be hardly any mutinies as I am in saying there are possibilities of there being some. Again, it goes on your preference. And I think that's why we aren't coming to an agreement which is completely fine. I believe personally that the courier is a strong enough figure (both in his image seen by others and physically) to completely revamp the NCR before it's too late. For this reason, I choose them. - First. I am looking at this from the perspective of who would be better for the Mohave. Who matters more to New Vegas and its surrounding settlements. The powerful influential figurehead that lives in the area and knows the people? Or the corrupt representatives based hundreds of miles away? This goes back to US civil war mentality. When the State leaders you have known all of your life declare war against a country you already are growing to hate and feel dissociated with... you probably are not going to oppose the decision. Now lets say that this happens and the Mohave is a NCR territory. How is involving the Mohave in yet another war going to help its stability? - I know you never calmed that you knew how easy they are to hack. The fact is though that they are WAY less likely to be hacked than the NCR is to fall apart. - YOU cannot just decide what you accept as canon. Bethesda is the one who gets that privilege because it is their IP. You can decide what canon doesn't fit or doesn't make sense.... However, it still happened whether you like it or not. The fact is that Fallout is no different than Halo (with many things that are inconsistent and do not make sense), or Star Wars (that have many things that fans wish didn't happen). Its an art-form yes, but one that tells a story. What lessons you take from that story and its exact meta meaning are up to you. But the artist decides what the official statement is. As of now no exact ending as been confirmed as cannon (although the Independent is hinted at being it). So We are going off of the slides at the end (and anything that can happen in between or after or wasn't touched on). The games themselves are very subjective, but the lore and cannon is not that way. - None of my points are purely assumptions. I used historic knowledge of past civil successions and wars, the evidence provided by dialogue with NPCs, plus general canon knowledge and facts. Its not hard to figure out that A, If things keep going the way they are for the NCR. There is going to be some kind of massive upset of the general populace. B, No one wants to be there anyway. For the most part NCR troopers and travelers Hate the Mohave. Some even going as far to say that Vegas itself wasn't special (when compared to other cities that have been rebuilt). C, The dam is the only thing out there that is really worth fighting for. If you win the dam as Independent Vegas, then agreed to keep giving the NCR power. Then they wouldn't even want to stay... You are the one that seems to be assuming things. You talk about someone hacking the securitrons. When it took one of the most brilliant people alive (that was not in the enclave) weeks if i remember correctly. to get Yesman functional. Then add to that the Mk II security updates...... I think that the chances of a securitron being hacked now are more .01% than 5%. Then you talk about factions with know prior evidence or dialogue hinting at a betrayal.... betraying. - No its not better because its my preference (my preference is the NCR ending). The fact is that the Independent ending is just better because we are able to speculate on things. The NCR ending is not as good because it basically gives you an almost exact report of what happens for a long term (long term in the since that it is not all right after the battle like the independent). For all we know about the Independent ending the courier could negotiate treaties and such with the NCR in exchange for power from the dam. The openness of it is what makes it so much better. It is why it is the "best option". You cannot make mods like This on any of the other endings without running into cannon roadblocks.

Sorry forgot. Securitrons: Seeing as how I don't think they ever specify if or if not the securitron vault has manufacturing capabilities (witch I would assume it probably does) I am discounting this point. (unless you can link me to an post that explicitly states that there is no manufacturing equipment in the Securitron Vault) NCR Moral: Seeing as the ending slides basically say that he didn't do that (if you side with the NCR) then no. Its too bad the slides for the NCR were not just Immediately after the battle like the Independent slides. That would leave room for so mutch more debate. Plus the courier isn't god. Just because you play the game fast doesn't mean he can solve the problems that fast canon wise. By the time he was able to solve one of the main problems with the NCR (supplies, leadership, general moral) there would probably already be an active separatist moment. 1- Yes They are sooo easy to hack. I mean that is why it only happened ONCE since House took over. And that was before the added security firewalls of the Mk II upgrade. 2- We do not know if this is true or not. Even if it was... there are still the desert rangers, the families, the kings, etc... so many people that care about the place and actually want to fight for it. 3- "There's much more of a chance there will be mutiny in one area" That is the point. If someone kills them or they revolt. That is only one asset lost. Lets say that the NCR did win. The troopers end up revolting at Mc Carin. You just lost your science teams, most of your upper command, the largest portion of your supplies, and probably more. If the Brotherhood feels like.... no wait we are assuming that the PC is a full member (no chance of BoS revolt) If the Boomers.... oh wait they practically worship you (little chance of that) OK seriously though. If the BoS goes insane or something... I ONLY loose my scientists (I guess now I will have to use the real ones at the BigMT) and loose the people patrolling the highways. Anyone can do that in their place. If the boomers decide the want to be too xenophobic to help. OK I just lost only my air Its 10 times better logistically to have multiple sustained groups. Because if I loose one I can have someone else pick up their place until replaced. Plus its not just a small camp of people that are fed up with the current state of the NCR. Almost EVERY lower ranking soldier you come across is starting to show some kind of malice for the NCR's current state.

"Here Here" Second this here request as well. Also followed. I would say that having a couple of versions of the outfit would be neat (that is if any get made at all).

Now think about all of those resources not only in your control and being used for whatever your plans are, but putting those to use with a faction that has much larger capabilities and infrastructure to use it! It'd be much more efficient and work more thoroughly. But beyond that, it could also be used to help bring the NCR together and inspire hope, which you touched on the NCR lacking. No it wouldn't be more efficient. The whole problem with the NCR (at the time of NV) is that they are tactically and logistically retarded. They have a spineless politician president (basically they have an Obama when they need a Putin), an idiot commanding their war (His nickname is wait and see, since he doesn't know how to take initiative), their real tactician is going insane not being able to make a real difference (Head Ranger Whatshisface), their supply lines are largely unguarded and dangerous (as stated my the many trade groups you encounter). Not to mention the fact that the draft has left their army overmanned and under equipped. (contrary to the way they appear in vanilla, most of them have no plating (or at least not a full set, see dragbody's NCR for a more accurate and canonically exact experience). Then add to that the growing hate for the war in the NCR populous. The NCR is basically on the verge of civil anarchy. If They win then it gets worse. Now they actually have to incorporate New Vegas and its surrounding areas. That is a logistical nightmare in its own right. Not to mention it means more rounds in the Mohave for the troops. If things continue in the current way (courier or no) the NCR would fall in less than 2 decades. Logically, Logistically, and tactically... the best thing for the NCR is for them to lose the dam and the courier to through that jackass general off of its side. That way the only one left to blame is their week president that would be ran out on a rail. The end result being the main two problems with the NCR would be gone. Plus all the draftees would be sent back. The NCR army would do 180 with its focus and stop trying to take s*** and focus on defense (hopefully). Basically we are beating a dyeing Sayan to almost death in hopes that it will gain enough power level to survive its illness. Anyway. The other point is that it would always be more efficient to have multiple small groups working on different things collaborating with one person (or one small group) as an intermediate. As apposed to having one large group trying to do and control everything with multiple large entities in power.

@ The ORIGONAL Topic. I think the reason the OP had that impression was the same reason I did. I first played Fallout 3. I thought the BoS were the most amazing things ever. Then I watched playthtoughs of the old games. I was like Oh.... Now I feel that the whole outcast vs lions thing could have been done better. ere is how.... -First of all the main stronghold of the BoS should have been the Outcasts depot. Just adding one or two more NPCs with dialogue there and about another 10 or so generic BoS members. -Since the Depot is the main area. that means that Lyons and his group left to seek shelter (eventually coming across The Pentagon). -Have the head scribe at the depot instead of the Citadel (since Lyons is the real outcast why would the scribe head go and catalog with him, she would stay and watch the death count of the normal ones, and wait for tech) -Besides the absence of most of the scribes, make Lyons' force seem generally smaller (and in more need of supplies, maybe a few side quests for that) -Make them the ones that use outcast armor. Since they are the ones that are truly not the real BoS. If that was the way that it was handled there wouldn't be any confusion. In my fallout I always envision Lyons' group with outcast armor, and the outcasts with standard (however I only have Fallout 3 for console, so I cannot make a mod for this).

Why kill them when you can just USE them? I mean really they are like the only real offensive air power in the Mohave. They would be so useful after the game is over. Especially if you are going Independent. Then they are like your own private air force. Now I never liked the way that they were portrayed in the games. I always figured that if they really lived in a military base, then they should look like it. Instead of ONLY patchwork flight/officer suits. They should have had mismatched combat armor too. Maybe even some (like that security chick) wearing US power armor. You would also think that an educated group from a vault would come across a military base and actually find some books outlining basic tactical guidelines. Instead they are portrayed as almost ignorant tribals that got their hands on good tech.

I really wish that I knew some links to pages where people have already said this. It would be so much easier. -This next post is going with the assumption that you allied with most factions that are worth it... and went Independent The NCR is bad because it is (sadly) dying. Why would you think that joining a republic that is rotting from the inside out is good? Now you have a securitron army that can repair itself (witch is stated in the games). That army alone would withstand anything the NCR would be willing to waste farther on the Mohave (because most of the people in deep NCR territory are tired of the war and its loosing support). You have the only real air (boomers) power left in the Mohave. You have access to the some of the best warriors and brightest scientists left in the Mohave (BoS). Plus if I remember correctly you are on the good side of one of the largest functioning aid organizations still operating (FotA). Then there are the Kings witch could be used as a pretty good police force (seeing as they have that nice moral compass) Now lets say that you did this just to be a dictator... who cares. The lives of the people would still be better off than with overbearing red tape, cold uncaring leadership, or heartless cruelty. Its not like the once the currier is in power he is going to start killing his people (canon wise anyway). Now that is just counting for the main storyline. if you want to take into account the fact that you may have access to the best science lab left in the world... even better. Basically its so good because of the simplicity of the way it works (its like why if the TSC was real/real in game it would be good). There is no real corruption. Anyone that would be in doing anything in a Independent NV would be doing it because they are the best people for it. Not because it benefits one group better than the other.

Actually they do stand for something else, without going into much detail for the sake of spoilers, The 26 stars stand for the 26 Founding Council of Vault Elders and the Eagle in the middle stands for The promise of an old America. Ok another set of questions... Are all five "Star" Vaults going to be featured in this? What is your current progress estimate (as in "20% done") How many voice actors do you have? Yes all five vaults are in the game. The entirety of the project is far from completion but broken up this is our estimates- New Lands: 10% Indoor Locations: 35% Armor/Meshes: 20% Dialogue (Written): 80% Dialogue (Recorded): 25% Story: 75% Companions: 0% Textures: 40% So if you average all of that out it becomes Total until first release: 35% roughly And currently we have 7 Voice actors willing to do work (2 of which we are paying for) and are looking for more, we hope to have 12 atleast. I have audacity and will be willing to help......... I was planning on helping with Project Evergreen. I had a area rigged in my home for recording (duct-taped old foam insulation strips to the walls of a walk in closet on the side of my home that was usually quiet). I however was never able to start because we ended up letting a friend room with us for a while (he moved into the empty/quiet part of the house). Now I am looking for a new place to record.

I never found this necessary as I used the terminal in the L38 for this (as it seems to never reset its inventory). However many people would like the instant use and free factor of your bank.

Can I get an update on this?

I do not know how the enclave would work in this situation (even though I would love to see a "cannon/lore-friendly" enclave mod that talks about the current desperate state they are in). However I do think that the Independent Vegas Project does end up coming into existence, there should be some kind of new faction enemy implemented. I was thinking that NCR Deserters or NCR Fanatics could work as a nice terrorist faction for you to shoot at.

or OR OR, they could just use the jeans on the "Ranger Combat Armor".

What if we add a secondary duster that has is for whatever sub-faction that you are most allied with? That could be a problem however. So what if we add dusters for any sub-faction that idolizes you, that way if you are loved by both the boomers and the BoS you do not have to leave what duster you get up to chance.

I think that this is promising. However.... Wouldn't the flag have five stars on it? You know for the five vaults? Or do thy stand for something else?

There is a way to use console commands to edit your timescale. However if you slow it down too much it will effect quests and viceversa. that is why people do not normally mess with the timescale.

There are many ways to get this done yourself. Just get a hair pack (Mikoto's or Lings), something in one of those should be close enough to satisfy you. As for the face preset... Try making it yourself. It is easily possible for you do do that without having someone make an esp (or game save) custom for you. There are plenty of beauty mods to help this kind of thing. I have a save that I use just for experimenting with creating characters. With that said... The armor is a task that will require a real mod. People may be hesitant to do it however, because it is an asset from another game they will need to make the textures and meshes from scratch. I wouldn't hold your breath on getting it, unless an experienced mod maker takes interests in this request.
