New Main Faction to the game

[Ragranok2147]

So I have an idea for a new faction and I kinda want to know if it is even possible if is possible here the idea I have.

The Legion

* Caesar Legion Splinter Group or More Likely there own thing ( still based off of Rome or maybe even the Greeks Sparta maybe)
* Leaders are chosen based off who is the strongest to lead they go through something called "The Right" after they go through the "The Right" they challenge the previous leader in a dual to the death using melee weapons no guns or anything else is allowed Men and Women can be in charge

*Maybe Possibly Have the Player Challenge the Current Leader of "The Legion" (2 Different end game endings)
* Don't use slaves when they conquer people they give them a choice to either join or leave
* Use Guns and Melee weapons those who shoot well get guns while those who don't or even Prefer melee weapons use them
* Believe they are the best to lead in the wasteland because they are the strongest to lead
* Believe both NCR and Caesar Legion are corrupt. NCR because they are a democracy and are showing signs of being corrupted just like the old world government don't see the NCR as a government fit for the wasteland and see them as a relic of the old world that needs to be destroyed. They see the NCR as a big threat but will for now be friendly or more accurately tolerate them because they don't have the numbers or the equipment to fight them. Caesar Legion because Caesar himself is flawed the legion will fail after Caesar himself is dead the Legion dies with him they donât have any proper way of Carrying on. Also hate the idea of using slaves "The Legion" current priority is to take the East From Caesars Legion First Once They do that then they will Take on The NCR.
* Dislike House for the reason of when house dies then Vegas dies with it so will mostly destroy house.
* No real option on the BoS they are small and irrelevant now
* "The Right" you have to get approval from "The Council" the Council themselves are the embodiment of the people of the legion each class is represented. Scientists, Merchants, The Military, The Common Folk. Each member of the council are chosen based off skill and ability to lead
* The Leader of The Legion is Called "The Legion" once they assume the leadership they shed their names and identity as a person they now embody "The Legion" and can no longer claim to there former-self this is to avoid corruption and personal agendas they do what's best for The People and not what's best for themselves.
* The Leaders of the legion are allowed to have sex and bread children however they are not allowed to marry only because being married could potentially cause personal agendas to pushed over what's best for the people but you can't deny their humanity and biological desires if they breed children the children are taken away from them and are taken care of by other people they receive all the love and care that comes from a normal family. The Children are told of who the Father/Mother is but that is it.
* People themselves are free to do as they are please

* They do have basic laws (I.E. No Murder, Rape , Robing People, ETC. Drug use is permitted but mostly for medicinal reasons people that become addict's are forced into rehab if they don't kick the habit then they are given 2 choice Death or Exile)
* The currency they use is caps they don't believe in changing what the currency is
* They do tax however the taxes goes to providing for the military and that's about it. Another tax will be added once businesses deals with crimson caravan and or the gun runners is done but again this tax is for the military to supply the military
* For the most part don't do taxes mainly because for the most part that money ends up in the pockets of politicians and not actually To better the people so any problems that arrive they fix themselves and pay for themselves instead of paying the government to do it.
* The capital or at least the main settlement of "The Legion" is called "Rome" Location of the Settlement will be on the Northwest are of the map go west from Westside


Quests
[ If Possible to Add other Main Faction to the Game and have another ending]

* You are first informed of them right before you enter Vegas through the Freeside entrance a messenger send you a letter/invitation
* You have a choice to join them and help them grow and expand [ or you could just kill them all right there and then if that is the case then the game returns back to vanilla no changes are done]
* First Quest will be to recruit more people to do that you go out in any order and recruit 5 gangs and or Tribes of The Mojave
* Try to have the boomers ally with them or if not they will ignore them
* Try to have the Followers of the apocalypse ally with them
* Find and destroy legion camps
* Eventually take over the fort from Caesar Legion
* Take over Vault 3 from the Fiends
* Take over or have Westside ally with you
* Take over or have Freeside [Kings] ally with you
* Take over the Hoover dam [END GAME]
* Kill house
* Ignore The Brotherhood of Steel they are for the most part insignificant
* Ignore The Enclave too maybe if possible add them to help in the final battle
* Set up business deal with both the Crimson Caravan and The Gun Runners
* Add other quest that would help build "The Legion" [settlement building on former Caesar Legion camps/Settlements possible Nipton rebuild?]

Is this possible to do like is it possible to add another faction to the game and have another ending to it? like how would the scripting work to move the games main quest forward if this was to be done?

The main difficulty in a mod like this is that you don't have access to the original voice actors. If you want to ally them with the Boomers you need to speak to Pearl about them, and if you want to ally with the Kings then you'd have to speak to the King about them, etc. and none of these voice actors have any spoken lines for your new faction.

 

Otherwise, yes, it's possible, but it's a lot of work. FNV doesn't have one main quest. It has four: House, Yes Man, NCR, and Legion. All four of these quests are intertwined with each other. For example, if you progress too far on one quest line it blocks out progression on other quest lines, until you are eventually locked onto one single quest. You would have to create a fifth main quest for your faction and similarly intertwine it into the other quests. Your new quest needs to handle players who don't immediately side with one faction or another, similar to how that is handled in the existing main quests.

 

I will also warn you in advance that modding the final battle at Hoover Dam and the Legate Fort can be a bit tricky. I have tinkered around with a few things and due to the way that everything is put together, it's fairly difficult to change things around without breaking things.
