I have been trying to genrate juniper trees for my world space but for some reason there is no LOD for the juniper trees in FNV. Can anyone help me out with this?

Well, since Bethesda Softworks is the worst publisher on the planet (save for EA), they decided to rush New Vegas out the door so it wouldn't compete with Skyrim's sales. In turn, Obsidian underdeveloped the Legion and made them unsympathetic overall. I doubt anyone could make a well made, lore friendly Legion quest mod. In my opinion, the only redeeming quality of the Legion are its lead characters: Caesar, Lanius, Graham, Ulysses, and Vulpes (all of them with incredible dialouge). I don't know... Reading some of Van Buren docments, the Legion were just as much of dicks as they are in NV. The only difference being that the sexism in Van Buren was a little bit more toned down.

I'm trying to make my world space similar to The Great Basin but for some reason there is no LOD for the juniper trees in the games files. Can anyone help me?

Hmmm... I wonder who this could be? :tongue:

Well, its good to see that progress is going smoothly so far.

Already done, in a sense. Don't call me awesome until you play the mod. I imagine some people may curse my name when it's finished. :devil: Aww.... come on, its not that brutal and bleak as The Great Silence, is it?

Whoa..... :ohmy: Good writing, makes the legend reguarding Marko all the more compelling.

I got to ask, will not even Russell himself be safe?

YEA! Violence and Terrifying Presence! :devil:

Syndicate won't be in NVBIII, except perhaps in a few notes. This mod's final act may come as a shock to some players. The war is coming to the Courier this time. I imagine it will spur... strong feedback. On that note, I may permit the player to bring companions to Utah (let's face it, plenty will do it despite my warnings), but I won't be held responsible for whatever befalls them. Being essential won't save anyone. No one is safe. :devil: NO! JERRY! STEVE! CUDDLES! :sad: And no one gives a crap about Janet! :devil:

I love Russell, but he's still damaged goods. That might be addressed and/or ameliorated in an update down the road. Writing romance has been challenging enough as it is, but I'm determined to see it through. I have to watch Deadwood periodically for a palate cleanse. That's putting it mildly with Russell. I have to give you credit. Writing romance is tough even though I, myself, don't really care much for it. I just thought it would be funny for the LOL"s to have a Black Widow check and have Russell respond in the negative. I however, am more curious about the Wild Wasteland encounters. :tongue:

I was a bit shocked at the low number of Lady Killer speech checks in the vanillia game compared to the other gender preference checks. I'm mean, seriously its Vegas. Anyway. I always thought it would be funny if their was a Black Widow opition for Russell, only for him to turn you down. :tongue: But thats just me.

I was thinking, just throwing idea's around, what if you make a Wild Wasteland Encounter were you find a dead or living bounty hunter who is or was looking for Ronald Dillinger? Since The Inheritance did have a note about Ronald.

There might be a random encounter or two... :wink: Overencumbered Man? :tongue: Or prehaps the ever evasive Ronald Dillinger?

OMG! That's hilarious! :laugh:

It was indoctrination! (I haven't played ME since the first one - I'm one of those curmudgeons that hates ME2) Its okay, I hated the second one too. Oh God! I'm just thinking how NVBIII would end if given the Mass Effect 3 treatment! And then right when the Courier was about to have the final showdown with Marko, a strange, blinding white light appeared and the Courier was somehow transported to The Lucky 38 where a hologram of the irritating Mick and Ralph crier apeared and gave the player three choices in which none of the choices you made prior will matter, you die no matter what and your friends are transported to some podunk area of the wasteland without any explanation because F*** You! Its art!

When I started considering whether or not to resume modding, I took a long, hard look at everything I've done in order to dertermine what's practical as a mercurial modder. My motivation tends to run in 6-month bursts, so mods produced in that window usually get finished. I was very burned out when I released Russell (even if I didn't let on), and I was just looking for an out. Those goddamn updates to NVBI and NVBII (mainly the latter) were the most time-intensive thing I've ever worked on, period. For me, nothing is harder than revising and revamping old content, particularly if it's screwed up. I hate that Russell now has a reputation as a buggy mod, but it was my fault for releasing it prematurely and then sitting on it. Lesson learned. For NVBIII, my goal is to keep it focused on the main plot, and avoid feature creep at all costs (ahem, random encounters). With the main quest about 70% complete, I feel pretty confident about seeing it through to the finish. There still remains plenty of work to be done on interiors, dialogue, and what not, but the core content is shaping up nicely. The final act will require for me to expand my skill set (I try to do this with every mod), primarily in the are of camera manipulation via scripting. I've reverse-engineered capture sequences (like that in Dead Money), so I'll figure it out with some trial and error. It's nothing too fancy, anyway. Plenty can be communicated to the player through sound when the screen is black... :devil: God, I can't wait to share this mod with ya'll. It will probably spur some sharp opinions, but it sure as s*** won't be predictable or boring. Thanks for the support, all! So long as you don't have it end like Mass Effect 3 I'll be a happy lady! :teehee:

Understandable. I am interested in seeing how this encounters play out as as well as the type of encounters. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the encounters will be from surviving members of the Sand Wolves. Correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry about spoilers but I don't know how to make a spoiler tag for the life of me.

YEA!!!! I missed random encounters from F03! :dance: Will there be random encounters in the Mojave?

Took the words right out of my mouth. This is a final showdown with quite possibly one of the most evil character to ever come from a mod. Your main concern should be the final confrontation with Marko not whether or not you forgot to pack an extra pair of underwear.

It was like watching Bane break Batman's back! :laugh: But my favorite would have to be the exploding slaves from Russell. Both him and Jerry were taken by surprise! :devil:

Shhhh.... I want that to be a secret for a certain YouTuber to find out the hard way! :devil:

Looks awesome sparten! :thumbsup: This was much needed! The entire Mojave isn't just inner and outer Vegas. Its nice to have a little more towns to go to.

Fairly obvious that character is gonna be the player's "boss" for NVBIII... So, who wants to take bets on the mystery chief's identity? Probably Randall It's Ronald Dillinger. Really! You shouldn't have run Ronald. We will find you! :laugh:

Karl is a polite, elderly gentleman who sells confectioneries at reasonable rates. You can always trust Karl with a "K". If there's one thing you can count on in my mods, it's well-balanced, amicable citizens living peacefully in the Mojave. So much cynicism... Then again, it could be a whorehouse run by a sadistic maniac... or perhaps a gifted vocalist? The sarcasm was just poring out of my monitor while reading your post. :D
