Who was I?(A courier quest mod)

[theDemonJackal]

So anyone else feel that because you cant remember anything in your past that means there is so much to work with?

I mean we know nothing of the courier and his life. Furthermore for all we know he could have been a drifter like Desmond, a former slave like Russel, or a junkie like Niner. Of course its all up to the player to decide who he will become, but can the courier really shake off his past? Or was he the monster Ulysesss made him out to be?

Basically my idea for a quest is where the courier gets a letter after entering the lucky 38. Basically you get a note saying the following:

Dear -Player Name-

Been a long time me amigo. Hope your still breathing. Heard ya go by Courier Six now. What happened ya hit ya head? Thought you were dead if I can tell ya the truth. Anyways. I was wondering if you were interested in meeting up at the Atomic Wrangler. Discuss old times. Ya know. Catch up.

Signed

Your Amigo Marcel

Of course you have to go meet this Marcel. But what could he tell you? Will it be good? Will it be bad? Or will it be a lie?

 

Anyways I am still thinking of other parts of the quest but I think a blast from the past of the courier would be interesting. Especailly if the Courier himself is a different person to how they were.Like say when you arrive you get the option to drink whiskey, vodka, wine or Cola.

If you answer Whiskey Marcel will say:

f*#@ yeah!At least your taste in booze hasnt changed.

 

Vodka will have him say:

Whoa...Picking up your game huh? I love it! Cheers!

 

Wine will shock marcel:

When did you get so sophisticated? Bullet make ya smarter or something?

 

And saying you dont drink will disapoint him and cause him to respond:

Oh. Okay. I guess its cola for you so. Suppose drinking isnt healthy for the brain after a gunshot

 

Anyways Id like to hear your thoughts guys.

That would be one though mod to create.

You can't satisfy players with just one end to this kind of quest.

It's about what the player thinks of his/her character, and with no original background, there can be pretty outlandish stories they made up.

And let's not talk about Lonesome Road. That goes directly against my previous statment.

In theory, it's a good idea, but when you think about it, it's pretty much impossible to make it work for everyone.

Well Lonesome road only implies the Courier has been around a bit, quite possibly just on some courier work...

It can be easily worked into a multitude of stories... ;)

What about players who install a child player mod ? He/she was not around when s*it went down in the Divide.

The Supermutant player mod ? Who would trust a ''frankenstein'' to carry their goods ?

One of the robot player mods ? Same thing.

Or something entirely different.

As I said, that's a pretty large workload for a mod, only a small percent of the players would enjoy.

 

Still, I don't want to be a partypooper, so if someone does create a mod like this, have fun.

Well Guys I did think that there was more players out there who had a different view of thier characters than I do of mine. But I came up with this idea. A huge blow to the head is going to change a persons personality entirely so some of the ideas that I am coming up with for this mod refers to someone different to that of the new man the courier has become. Simple terms would be to refer to Dr. Who but I dont know how many of the fan base is on this forum and how many would get it.

Its the man who shared the body of the courier before the shooting. He was a different man all together than that of the man who you play as. So whose to say what kind of man he was? As I stated was he a drifter, a Junkie, or worse?

 

Ger as for what you have said. Yes I am aware that some people play as child, robot, or mutant. What I will disagree with is that you said that none would trust a mutant or a robot to carry their good.

Mutants can be used to do the most simple of actions so I wouldnt put it past someone to get a reasonably smart mutant to maybe escort a courier to the desitination and than believe himself to be the courier? And robots would be very efficient as a courier as they wouldnt eat, sleep or stop. I mean they would be the most effcient really of any courier.

I didn't say ALL stories, I said many stories... XD

 

Anyway, child player mods are very unrealistic anyway.

Mr House screened all couriers, did you really think he would trust a child to carry the chip? XD

 

Super Mutants in the Mojave are much more excepted then the capital wasteland ones.

Robots like Ed-E could be quite good as couriers, let alone a full human looking android... :tongue:

Define "intelligent"? I would say he is more "wise/smart" than the average joe.

Wisdom comes for life experiance and Super mutants/ghouls live longer then the average human :O Just sayin'

But more intelligent then the followers? naa man cant agree with that one.

And as for the mod-idéa! I like it! we need some backstory for our mysterious courier six :)

First generation super mutants barely had their brains damaged if at all, except Nightkin but we all know that's stealthboy use.... XD
