Breaking Bad: New Vegas

[searchndestroy]

Hey there guys.

 

I was underwhelmed by the chem dealing aspect of the game, considering the massive involvement of it in the game. The only person you could sell in large quantities at a somewhat profitable price was Motor Runner, and if you wanted to go the route of Jethead, you only really had Dixon's nasty Jet or a handful of other venders.

 

I am thinking about trying to create my own mod; It would essentially give the protagonist a chance to manufacture and deal their own Jet. I've set up a few recipes (using the More Traits "Born to be Wild" trait recipes' templates, which I altered) for players to make chems from from household ingredients (detergent, Abraxo cleaner, whiskey, turpentine, scorpion glands, gunpowder, .etc), and the ability to purifiy Dixon's Jet into real Jet. have had tried to set up a few rival drug dealers in Freeside with little luck. Basically, I hope to be able to set up a feature where you can prompt individuals to purchase varying quantities of Jet (one, five or ten) at preset price. Perhaps you can ask anyone potentially if they want to buy Jet, but asking the wrong person (Chief Hanlon. Caesar) might be bad for your health.

 

From this base point, I'd like to see what kind of interest there is in the modding community to help to implement quests to score large quantities of drugs/precursor materials), and have la mini-game (similar to the guard mission for the Van Graff's) called Slang on Your Street corner, involving selling on a street corner, where people will approach you to buy, rip off or attempt to bust you (undercover NCR) until your present stock is depleted.

 

Of course, dealing would you put in on bad terms with the Followers and the Kings, and, if you're not using them as a supplier, the Great Khans. Get large enough, and the fiends would come to respect you and not even be hostile to you and your party (maybe).

 

It would also be cool if you had turf on which you could sell from and expand as you become more active. Perhaps you'll see more and more junkie types wandering around Freeside and in the Mormon Fort.

 

So, what are your guys' thoughts? Any suggestions, advice, general comments?

Ha! Love it. It would be really funny seeing all these junkies walking around.

 

Also I'd like to add maybe there could also be a possible sidejob/sidequest where you can provide drugs for some pimp operations or something. Or maybe your drug empire extends to prostitution as well. So then you can eventually rule all of the illegal activity in Freeside (or beyond?), after fighting tough battles with other crime lords.

 

But also (I just thought of this just now) maybe instead of drug dealing the player could instead choose to crack down on the drug dealing. Or maybe not even that. Maybe as a well established drug dealer you can make deals with corrupt NCR people to either help muscle your operation or look the other way or something. But then Legion, since they hate drugs they often hit your operation hard (and/or maybe you have some Frumentarii in your organization ruining you under your nose).

 

Ah man. This mod sounds so awesome I actually might want to work on it. Just that I think certain sections of Freeside will need to be expanded so I'm worried about a lot of mod conflicts.

Yeah, there's no short of corruption in the NCR, so bribery is not out the question (after a quick barter/charisma check). The side jobs things sounds cool. I'd want to get the sense that protagonist is gaining more power and territorial sway as he grows in power.

 

Just out of curiousity,, what kind of modding experience do you have? Mine is very minor, but I want to work on some sort of prototype that is basically like the dealing feature off of Marijuana Plant mod (where you can offer to sell bud to nearly every NPC in the game and even grow your own plants).

I know I don't have any upload history to show for it but I do know my way around to GECK. I can script, quest, interior design, clutter, navmesh, etc. I've been experimenting with the Bethesda game maker programs since Morrowind on my own, nothing big but piece by piece I've come to know how it works. Having said that though I have no shortage of things I must learn. Since I haven't actually made a complete mod (only experimented and learned how to do single piece items one-by-one) I've got so much so learn.

 

Also been learning how to 3d model. I'm afraid my skills are incredibly basic (like making a soda can or whatever beginner's tutorial items there are) but I know how to import/export the custom models to the game. Actually I'm still figuring this part out. Having difficulty learning how to do proper collisions but I'm learning.

 

Also can do basic retexturing. I mentioned pimps before because lately I'm been excited about pimp-ery because I recently retextured a vanilla mesh to pimp colors. Link: http://oi40.tinypic.com/25tkuc1.jpg For later retexture projects I'll probably work on making it look "dirtier" and "grimier" to fit with the Fallout world more but I can't help but like the way the pimp suit turned out. I totally want to do a mod that relates to pimping in some way.

 

So if you're serious about this thing and got the spare time maybe we can do something. I've got loads of spare time and want to work on a project.

Yeah here, I am serious. I am not so free atm but I am very interested in doing a collaboration with you on this particular project. Just fire me off a personal message when you get a chance and we'll go from there. :)
