KaydenMoon Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) This is an idea I've had for a long time, I'm honestly surprised nobody has done this yet.The general idea is rebuilding Nipton to either.1. What it was before2. A bustling trading hub3. A hideout and refuge for outlaws and outcasts4. A legion fort5. A NCR fort6. A large casino town.The idea is also the ability to make Nipton into a independent city-state that controls the trading route between California and Vegas as well as having actual caravans running from the Mojave outpost to Nipton to Novac to 188 to Vegas....The topic was also suppose to be [Mod Idea] not Mod lead e.e sorry I've been having sleeping problems lately Edited October 30, 2013 by KaydenMoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornl Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I think a mix of the first 3 would be the most interesting. Would seem to fit with the wild-west theme. Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartenkiller897 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I thought about making a mod like this, but I can't work on a mod like this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseKelmavor Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Its a good idea and i agree with bjornl, the first three would fit the best. do you plan of doing this yourself or let someone else do it? a couple of ideas though: 1. If you want Nipton to be an Independant city-state, You cant make it a NCR/Legion fort. Being independant it should have its own armed forces.2. Being a trading hub, it should look like a giant market place based around the wild weat theme as bjornl said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxicWhiteout Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 As Vulpes said, Nipton served NCR, Powders gangers, men of the legion etc. so I'd like to see something that incorporates that. However, a full-on fort wouldn't make sense. I agree with bjornl completely, the first three would work the best. I liked how a lot of the houses had little stories, so having characters to fit those would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtKraigO Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've thrown something similar around in this thread http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/691109-an-independent-new-vegas-mod/page-111. I've always wondered why Nipton was just left abandoned especially since it is on a trade route and was surprised no one has picked it up. As far as I know Nipton is on the list of things to do so try messaging devinpatterson, see if he needs help with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
