DWMHitMan Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 The Dark City project is currently in the making. This mod doesn't require that you know any of the lore. You as a player are free to run gun and kill through the quest freely. You really don't even have to read the info section if your intrested in helping scroll to the bottem. Info: (Not everything is unveiled here more of the story is in the mod its-self)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Location:The City, Southeast Commonwealth (specificly in Charlotte N.C.). Is the last known city to be left standing after the bombs fell on of the east coast. Of the four blocks, two were declared a war zone by the Elite. Due to quarantine, the only known access is by metro train (or it's tunnels). Story:As you enter the drainage of the City, the only place forgotten by the bombs. You simultaneously feel the desperation, and sorrow of the sick and homeless. From them you learn only you can save them from the unforgiving "Elite" of the Enclave. In the year 2240 the remnants of the American government (the Enclave) caught wind of the City, President Richardson ordered the Elite to move in and set up government. The government would proclaim that the locals would be its new inhabitants. Two years later (2242) the Elite lost communication with the Poseidon oil platform where they received their orders. The Elite took it upon them selves to dictate the City as the felt the Enclave should. Doing so the Elite took their pick of the locals. Anyone capable of work were moved to select houses. The "poised" citizens, those who were too irradiated were killed or experimented on. Others who lived in the City that resided in buildings needed by the Enclave were forced out. This of course made many homeless. Disease broke out, and one by one houses were evacuated or quarantined. Soon after whole apartments. As the Elite proceeded rebellion was afoot. Refugees now turned rebel fought in guerrilla style skirmishes. Turning two of four blocks into an all out war zone. As the new faction known as the Black Knights (after their power armor) emerged from the depths of the underground, refugees embraced their last hope. Cause:Black Knights serve to free, and protect citizens of The City, by which they must fight the notorious Elite. Creed:Through hell we'll fight.Through the greetings of death we'll protect.No citizen shall fall as long as I bare arms to defended.No Elite shall live if my lung hath breath.I will defend the City and all innocent within it.I will eliminate the enemy and their right to freedom.My duty as a Black Knight comes before all else.My ability to abolish my enemy comes second. History:Ruarc McHard an Irishman who during the time of the scourge, escaped The Pitt. Along with his brothers he ventured through the capital wasteland into the Southeast Commonwealth (the state of North Carolina). Ruarc and Colin two of the three brothers, made it to the refugee station of the city, and built an alliance. This alliance swore to protect The City and all innocent citizens in it. Then searching for an area to set up a base station for the refugee railroad, an old utility tunnel is found. Once finding the location for the base, the faction was forged. While fighting to take over the extermination facility, Colin along with other refugees lost their lives. On the way out Colin and the only captain at the time Larry Polk were caught in an explosion which sealed the entrance from the 4th block to the facility. A few years later the production of Black Knight power armor increased. Ruarc felt that with the strong defence 3rd could be taken and the Extermination facility could be destroyed. Ruarc essembeled the Captain of the Knights and their men.Then he said "Many men have shed blood for our freedom! We promised defence, and liberation, we will deliver. Today we crush the Southeast Union, Tomorrow the Enclave!" The Black Knights along with the rebels cleared 4th block. As the men marched for the entrance they were cut down by turrents and (police). Rebels fell blood flew men cry out and the medics who ran to help were a slaughtered. Captains of the Knight and a held full their men along with a few rebels pushed on. Knights, soldiers, and rebels droped with a trail of blood. Ruarc cried "Foward!" The (police) shouted "hold the gate!" Both sides persistant to prevail. Few Knights staggerd on guns dragging the pavement. Ruarc smashed the flag of the Black Knight through the pavement. His last words then echoed through the city "Theirwill be freedom!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Needs:First things first I am very open to ideas. If you want to edit my story line with your own ideas I'm open to it.I'm very, very open to new ideas on how things should be. Via looks, story, NPCs, etc. Also:Please remember I'm not the boss here its a joint operation. I guess you could say I'm a "Director". Everyone is as equal as I am. (your probably more important in some cases) A sample of the work can be found here on nexus Jobs Are Open!I'm always needing some fresh hands here, I'm trying to get more talent on the team. So what I'm currently asking for is; Level EditorsTexture DesighnersModelers I unlike others don't require any proof just say "hey I'm in!" and I'll do the rest.Post a past down here or PM me and I'll give you the info! Simple I know! I can also be found on teamspeakServer: Dies-WorldAdress:69.16.192.22:8767Just select anonymos and join!

Tekmon Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I really like your idea, :P, sounds like another day in the wasteland. If I may offer a suggestion, could super mutants be involved with this, your storyline mentions that a lot of residences where quarantined, and irradiated people where experimented on. This calls out for things like Ghouls, (Super) Mutants. It would fit right in imho. With the Enclave's Experiments, there could possibly be Super Mutants like Fawkes, who are still sane. Or there could be a whole new bred of them. How About Robots? What if the Enclave experiments involved Bionic Power armor? Which was powered by the Irradiated citizens? Lol, just a suggestion :).

Tony the Wookie Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 so... we have a back story... but what exactly are you planning to happen here? if you can tell me how the player comes to the city and what he is sapposed to do when he or she gets there, I would be happy to help you brainstorm story ideas but I need to know what direction you are going and one more question, have you seen Code Geass, becuase the Nights kind of remind me of the Black Nights off that show, but mabe that is just coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callighan Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 HitMan, have you made a worldspace for this City?How big will it be in terms of cells (x,y)? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadPenney Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Through the greetings of death we'll protect.Just out of curiosity... what does this mean? No citizen shall fall as long as I bare arms to defended.Does this mean there is a dress code? No Elite shall live if my lung hath breath.Quite flowery, that. Are the Knights militant thespians? Didn't this concept get floated some time ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWMHitMan Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Answering some questions here: Tekmon1. Yes we'll have quite a few new mutants but not ones currently in game :biggrin: 2. The experiments are cough strength erhum mutation are confidential material you'll like them I'm almost sure3. And robots no way will there be a suit that injects chems into your blood stream and alters your muscles and perception etc.:confused: Tony the wookie1. I'll post it in the info section soon :thanks: mate Calli1. My favorite long time supporter let me finish up the new buildings firstQ. Should i divide the blocks into separate cells for lower end computers or wait and do that as an update Badpenney1. As they die they will still protect2. No citizens will die if I can defend them3. No elite/southeast union guard will live if I can fight4. Actors/melodramatic Militants no more like noblemen I guess5. Yes awhile back but I'm just starting to make this after some real life difficulties Well thats all for now. Hope I was helpful. Catch you all later on!

Callighan Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Q. Should i divide the blocks into separate cells for lower end computers or wait and do that as an update Definitely. I know a lot of players have high end computers, but it's always good to build for the lowest spec possible without sacrificing crucial elements.
