DylanF1 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hello, I was wondering if anyone could possibly add the Desert Rangers to the wasteland! I love the Desert Ranger Combat Armor and I would love to see like a small group of remaining Desert Rangers in the wasteland! Like maybe include their own little outpost. Maybe have a small faction of Desert Rangers, possibly 10-20 remaining Desert Rangers roaming the wastes, searching for wrong do-ers! It would be greatly appreciated!

dangman4ever Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Really wouldn't make sense though, would it? I mean you're gonna need a compelling back story as to why those Desert Rangers did not want to join the NCR when Caesar's Legion is their biggest thread. Also, another story as to why they're in the Mojave and why the NCr is letting them run around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanF1 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well some individuals say that some Desert Rangers still roam the wastes in search for people who prey on the weak. So I would just like to bring that story to life and actually have some remaining Desert Rangers actually doing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanF1 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 It would just be cool to bring a Mojave folk tale to life and actually see Desert Rangers roaming the wastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I believe most of the ranger vets were desert rangers. Some are still in the Mojave and more are returning to the desert after an unknown mission in Baja (no clue what that's about). I love the Desert Ranger Combat Armor and I would love to see like a small group of remaining Desert Rangers in the wasteland! Well the desert ranger armor is just a retex so it could be redone or just included if honest hearts was a dependency. Like maybe include their own little outpost. Maybe have a small faction of Desert Rangers, possibly 10-20 remaining Desert Rangers roaming the wastes, searching for wrong do-ers! It would be greatly appreciated! You might have to have a rebel group, as the rangers joined the NCR in return for the NCR protecting Hoover and NV in general, from Legion. Did you have a back story for them?

DylanF1 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well the back story that I was thinking was maybe after that unknown mission a small group of the Desert Rangers came back with the rest of the rangers, and they can just sort of roam the wastes in search for those who prey on the weak. and possibly have a quest for one of them who is pretty much on their death bed,and they want the player, to deliver something for him , and then after he delivers it, he comes back only to find the Desert Ranger murdered, and then you have to find clues to as why he was murdered and who did it.

Remember that the Ranger Unification Treaty happened in 2277 as a result of the Desert Rangers losing the war against Caesar's Legion. The Desert Rangers joined the NCR in exchange for protection, protection of the Mojave Wasteland, and the Hoover Dam, So you have to explain why these particular Desert Rangers refused to join the NCR at the time of the treaty. In addition, you also have to explains how and why these Desert Rangers have stayed separate in the full decade since that treaty. In addition, an explanation of why the NCR would tolerate the Desert Rangers running around the Mojave where they could potentially interfere with NCR operations. I could understand maybe one to three Desert Rangers wanting to do their own thing but ten to twenty? There's gotta be a really good reason for those ten to twenty to want to not be a part of the NCR yet somehow allowed by the NCR to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's gotta be a really good reason for those ten to twenty to want to not be a part of the NCR yet somehow allowed by the NCR to exist. I think you are not thinking things through. Russel (by Someguy) is a desert ranger who refused to join the NCR. Everyone praised that back story. I think it quite plausible that not all of them would willing switch from one army to another. If Canada merged with the USA due to some external threat which was significant enough to surrender their sovereignty would you expect all Canadian forces to just accept a commission in the the American army? It would be quite normal if some of them were so mad at the USA mocking CFL rules or poaching hockey players, or whatever that they would resign rather then re-sign. Some of them would be tight and still hang out. Given the backdrop of what the Mojave has become it is not unreasonable that some of them would resort to some form of vigilantism. The NCR would not give a rats-fart what these guys did so long as they stayed out of the way. Remember the NCR does not have the manpower to assimilate Nevada and face Cesar. If they don't give enough to hunt down gangs actively opposed to them (Fiends, etc) then how and where would they find the will and men to hunt down some who they share a general philosophy with and have many mutual enemies. So while the NCR would prefer all citizens of the Mojave to sign up and fight, they would still be very happy that former rangers were active and view them as close to allies.

DylanF1 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 yeah, I didn't really mean like 10-20. I meant maybe a few Desert Rangers wandering around! I have always just thought that maybe not all of the Desert Rangers would just agree to join the NCR, and a few would remain independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanF1 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 I was thinking that the few Desert Rangers remaining didn't agree with joining the NCR, so instead they put up posters for advertisement for recruiting new members. Maybe a few extra people could join the few remaining Desert Rangers and make a small faction and have a quest where they go out and search for gangs that attack civilians (Vipers, Jackals, and Fiends, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
