Maybe add a second heavy trooper and have him in regular armour. It just seems odd and I'd imagine he would get really tired working in it.

That sounds reasonable. Maybe the Remnants confront the player first but don't attack. Instead they send mercenaries after you which would act similar to Legion Assassins/NCR hit squads. The only way to stop them permanently would be to kill the Remnants or talk them out of it. The reason for the Remnants not attacking would be due to them lacking proper armour and weapons.

Some of them I had a feeling you knew about, I just mentioned them in case. For the quartermaster it seems odd he would be wearing salvaged power armour when all he will be doing is sorting out equipment What I meant by bigger was that the pond should be a bit bigger or add some nearby.

Agreed, I think the player should have to get Nellis AFB set up and in working order before they can mention it to the NCR. But after I would like to see it being used by the NCR as a refueling station.

So here are a few things that could be fixed. colonel Royez has an African american voice The door leading to his office looks like it's to far in or is the wrong door Upon entering the bunker furthest from the building Colonel Royez is in the player spawns to far from the door. There's also a floating pencil in both barracks. The quartermaster is wearing salvaged power armour The tires on the trucks clip into the ground Some of the junk walls south of the Lucky Caravan are floating The gambling areas in the Lucky Caravan seem crowded. Maybe get rid of one roulette table and turn the 2nd gambling room into a small bar/restaurant. Alternativly you could move the Lucky Caravan to the empty building to the south of the current location. The building is bigger and would allow for a less crowded, a small restaurant/bar and a few rooms for travelers to stay in. The current building could be the holding cells and you could get rid of the current holding cell building as (to me) it feels out of place. A mesh is missing inside and right outside the the Lucky Caravan There's a tumble weed south of the Lucky Caravan right next to the road. When I jump of it it sounds like I'm hitting something metal and it doesn't move when pushed. Some missing meshes around the corn field in the keep out area. I found it fairly easy to jump over the rocks that are directly north of the little pond, which should be bigger or set up a well system like the one at Goodspring Source near the pond. The area to the east of the tunnel could have a something in it. Possibly some geckos or Bighorners (all friendly) Side note: Great job on the warehouse! It has the right amount of clutter.

I haven't touched the mod, partly due to my short attention span and partly due to exams coming up.

Looks awesome! :D

I was thinking the courier just gave them the password

Yes but before they never kept them with them, the armour was always at the bunker. Afterwards I don't think much would change. Besides if they kept the armour with them they might as well hold up a sign saying "Enclave member!"

There are officially produced variants however, You are arguing, we clearly aren't' going to agree and you keep dragging this out, For goodness sake just let me enjoy the M16 and you enjoy whatever. The AK isn't perfect either so your point? He never said the AK is perfect... Also when I said "stock" I mean the butt, buttstock, what ever you want to call it. Will you stop it? Obviously not, It was an exaggeration, the same way you tell me the M16 isn't perfect when I say it, You know what? Just stop, I like the M16, you don't, just shut up about it already, we've been going at this for three pages, Hell, I almost forgot what this topic was about, you aren't going to convince me any different and vice versa, so just shut up for goodness sake I'm not forcing you to respond to my comments, I'm not holding an AK to your head (bah dum tss), you responding is YOUR choice. This entire time you've acted like I've committed a crime against humanity by simply saying "M16s aren't the greatest".

What I had in mind was only fighting 1-2 and if you ran into the others afterwards they would be angry at you and wouldn't talk to you. But it would make more sense for all of them (excluding Arcade depending on his ending) would confront you. I'm not sure about their armour though since they wouldn't have access to it as the NCR would have taken over the bunker before they confront you.

Forlorn Hope was in dire need of help and didn't have enough troops or supplies to take Nelson. It's unknown why or who stationed the troops stationed between Nelson and Novac but it's my guess that they're from Forlorn hope and that they didn't put a lot of thought into the ranger being there. If he can't order them to do anything and they can't order him to do anything it makes little sense to be there. Sure the Bright Brotherhood helps out Novac but I'm looking at it from an NCR perspective. Why would they want it and how would it benefit them in controlling it? It would aid in securing a trade route and bring in more tax and trade revenue. How will they achieve this? Peacefully by swaying the support of the local population into thinking the NCR can better protect them (Which they can now that the Legion lost the 2nd battle). They would rely on the pro-NCR locals into aiding them in annexing the town. It can be an option to have the town stay independent but to me looking at it from an NCR perspective it makes little sense to not to attempt to bring them into the republic. The reason the NCR failed to protect them was due to them not being a part of the NCR and the number of conflicts going on at the same time across the Mojave. If Novac was a part of the NCR there would have been troops stationed there, if there was troops stationed there the town would have survived. The player doesn't have to be honorable. I agree it's dishonorable, but vertibirds are a finite resource in the wasteland, on just sitting around doing absolutely nothing except collecting dust would be a huge waste. I don't see why the Remnants would change the password as they trust the courier and Arcade. As for the whole speech check thing with the Remnants I was just brain storming, I would like to see both parties walking away but it should only happen if successful, if the player failed then they should be forced to kill the Remnants or which ever one they're talking to.

One condition was that the NCR had to protect the Mojave, since they failed to do that I could see the Desert Rangers leaving the NCR. That's cool idea, maybe at first you're limited to a handful and after a few battles they soon become the grunts of your army.

...You do realized weapons are made outside of a battlefield? They're made in factories where the grip and the stock is treated so that the wood isn't affected by the weather. I'll admit I'm partly at fault for this pathetic argument but you were the one that got angry over me saying the "M16 isn't that great"

Actually I predict that the Elders at Lost Hills will cut ties with the Mojave chapter just as they did with Lyon's chapter in Fallout 3 and leave the Mojave chapter to their own devices. Some of the hardliners lead by Hardin may decide to leave the Mojave chapter to either become the Mojave version of the Outcasts or join a more hardline Brotherhood chapter elsewhere. What if the Lost Hills elders sent an envoy to Hidden Valley in order to try and break the deal with the NCR and follow the BoS beliefs. If they fail there could be an assassin mixed in with the envoy whose job is to kill the Elder. Although I still have a difficult time seeing her starting up another caravan company it is more likely compared to any others. Maybe she becomes successful after the CC and VG's are caught and she is able to set up small branches throughout the NCR. Even if the player is an NCR hero it wouldn't make sense, to me that is, that they would be allowed to walk up to troopers at any time and say "Lets go on an adventure!". That would just cause a problem if their CO had tasks for them. As for Camp Golf, yes the Legion is still a threat but the battle lines have been drastically shifted. Before the 2nd battle Camp Golfs role was for training troops, Camp McCarran could easily take this role (There's a large area that troops can train in derrectly south of the El Rey Motel.). There's the possibility of 4 more military bases, them being Hidden Valley, Nellis AFB, Camp Calville (An idea I had that would give the NCR a small navy), and Camp Cottonwood (same with Camp Caville). The later two bases wouldn't have nearly as many men in them compared to Hidden Valley or Nellis AFB. I just don't see Camp Golf being needed anymore and it would probably end up draining resources, but I would hate to see it be completely abandoned. They didn't have the troops to retake Nelson until after the Courier arrives, and they didn't have enough rangers to replace the ones the Echo. Novac was never apart of the NCR but they did cut off the fastest way to get to Novac from Nelson, but with more important matters at hand they couldn't spare the resources to send men to protect a town that is not a part of the NCR. All of this is known (it's even broadcasted on the radio) so I can't see Novac thinking the NCR is choosing to leave them unprotected. As for Novac's feelings towards the NCR we do know that they have at least 2 retired vets who are still pro-NCR, Cliff Briscoe and the McBrides who would see an increase in trade if the town joined, Bruce Issac may be in favour if it means he would be more protected, and Daisy Whitman who (depending on her ending) wouldn't be against NCR annexing the town. The only people who may be in favour of independence would be Dr. Straus as she may not be allowed to "practice" medicine, and possibly Jeannie May Crawford but she could also be in favour of the NCR as they would bring in more trade. Now that I've actually written it out and see who may or may not be in favour I think it would close. Maybe depending on the players reputation in the town would allow the player to choose. Maybe upon entering the town a Novac settler confronts the player and asks if they could help them join the NCR, after a while someone in town tells the player that some people wish to stay independent but at the moment the town is split 50/50. That's pretty cool, if it can be done for the other companions then I'm for them staying. One problem I could see arising is that Ulysses is pretty monotone when he specks, other companions are not so it may sound odd. I'm not saying the NCR asks the Remnants, but instead the player informs the CO at Nellis that they found an old bunker near Jacobstown and managed to hack the computer, once inside the bunker they realized it's an old enclave refueling station with is some enclave power armour, a vertibird that appears to be in working order. The Remnants wouldn't know about it until after it has been taken over. The player could be confronted by one of them and asked if they had any part of it and they player could say yes they felt the equipment would be wasted just sitting in the bunker never being used (the remnants would end up hating or even attacking the player if they don't have a high enough speech), or with a high enough speech they could lie about it (loss of karma but the remnants believe them).

I could see the Fiends, with no leaders, occupying the motel that's next to McCarran and shooting at anyone who exits the gates, with 1-2 leaders they will also attack Westside, and with 3-4 leaders they will attack both with larger numbers. The player should be sent to Westside first where they meet up with some troopers and aid in killing the Fiends there, then sent to McCarran to. This would make it more plausible to take annex Westside. The Strip should be dealt with next. The Omertas will be held up in their casino. The player is tasked with storming it with troops, and can possibly capture Cachino and a few thugs. Afterwards the player is offered the Casino and they can choose to accept it or hand it over to the NCR (for an Ind ending I'm not sure who else could. The player will then be sent to deal with the riots in Freeside, then the captured military bases, then Nipton. Then the player can have a party in the Penthouse with their companions, maybe some high ranking NCR officials (possibly the vice president as this would allow you to introduce them to the player for the lower the corruption within the NCR quest), and possibly anyone else who is well known, rich and could have a quest later on. Edit: The player could also ask the people at the party to donate some money to the Followers.

The wood would be treated so it wouldn't rot. I will agree that Russia's scorched earth tactic was very effective, but also keep in mind that the UK held off German attacks until the US entered the war. It was an ALLIED victory, one nation did not win that war by itself. They all played an equal role in it example being; 40% of the pork (it may be beef, I can't remember) eaten in Britain during WW2 was from Argentina, with out their contribution the UK would have starved, if the UK fell the USSR would have had to deal with even more troops and luftwaffe raids.

Your claims are not evidence. You haven't showed one piece of evidence. Also you call me lazy for not googling what war the M16 won, but you refuse to google "M16 jamming issue". This isn't an essay, we're discussing an issue about a weapon, there's nothing wrong with a wikipedia page. Hell show me one that says the M16 won a war...

I'll comment on that tomorrow but I'll just say this. I think the NCR and maybe house mods should take place 1-2 years after the second battle. At the end of the game it says the Courier walks off into the wastes (although personally I would open the Lucky 38 and a bunch of other stuff that could bring in a lot of money) so maybe they come back after a certain amount of time and there could be a few things have changed.

That wiki page was still more evidence then you've shown. All you've done is say "I'm right, you're wrong. You have no proof, I have all the in the world but you don't deserve to see it.". Also I couldn't care less about this conversation anymore. I haven't slept for 33 hours and I still can't go to bed!

Again, It's very much a matter of opinion, there are multiple winning sides, and if you wish to reduce derailment, why do you keep dragging this out? contradiction much? Not sure what you mean by "multiple winning sides"... there was only one side that won, the Allies. Also Yogo you're equally at fault for dragging it off topic. Never denied I wasn't, you did however start this "M16 is weak" bull. and I'm not talking about sides as a whole, rather countries And you're the one that took it to heart for some odd reason and even after showing you facts you just stuck to your observational bias judgement. Also true that the allies won on multiple fronts but that doesn't take away from them all winning. Keep in mind when the US fought along side the Brits, Canucks, and French resistance movement, so claiming that the US won but ignoring those facts is arrogant. Bias? Not even fully American -_- I didn't say that at all, it seems you are putting words in my keyboard now, because I even stated that they all won. I honestly think you just keep replying to spite me as I already discountinued the PM for this very reason "You harass me for proof yet you haven't any proof yourself, as an owner of several M16's I will say personally I haven't had any trouble with them, just have to keep them clean (As with any firearm)" Ring a bell? That was literally nothing to do with the topic at hand, I'm really starting to lose my patience (Already been having a crappy week), Firearms have nothing to do with the war's victor Not for WW2 but we're talking about how you're bias view on the M16 makes you believe it's better than what it really is. Bias? Are you kidding me? I simply stated it's a nicely performing rifle, if you don't think so, fine. But don't harass me because I prefer it, and don't make the ridiculous claim the performance killed the user. You use your guns in a clean and controlled area, the soldiers in the Vietnam war used them in jungles. The difference being you are much less likely to get your gun dirty than the soldier. I first stated that the gun isn't that great because of it's reliability in combat and that it has less stopping power compared to other guns it went up against. I've shown you evidence backing it up, I've explained how the gun has not won a single war like you have claimed, and I have even asked you to name ONE but you refuse to do so and only state that I should brush up on my history, mean while I named off every war the US has been a part of after the Vietnam war and not one was won due to the M16 out performing the enemies rifles. As for a bias judgement, I don't think you understand what that means so I'll give you an example. Let's say you give a dog a grape, turns out your dog enjoys grapes. When ever you're eating grapes you toss one or two towards your dog and (s)he eats them. After a while you hear that grapes are bad for dogs and that you shouldn't be feeding them grapes. You have been feeding dog grapes for so long with no visual side effects that you disagree with the study(s) and continue to feed your dogs grape. What ever happens to the dog doesn't matter in this case, you have made a bias judgement based solely on your experience. The M16 when first introduced to soldiers in Vietnam jammed, it was unreliable in a firefight. I have shown you the evidence.

Ya, I'm done. I have to finish some work and go to bed.
