Hey Everyone :D

 

I got Fallout 3 for computer a little while ago, but im not able to play it that often, so when i do its EXTREMELY fun. I also tried my hand at the tutorial for the Geck, and while i never finished it, I seem to be alright with it. I like to create a story for my work, and splash it with little moments that make the player, you know, FEEL something. Ive gotten that ALL the time in the wondrous wastes that bethesda layed down for us :P

 

Now, I was thinking of taking on a big scale project,and i have hopes that it might be complete one day, but who knows. Here's what i was thinking.

 

Now there is this vault, say it's... Vault 36. It is a HUGE vault. The equivalent of an underground metropolis, if not a little smaller. Awhile before the vault dweller left 101, the overseer of this Vault 36, began to turn odd, driven insane by the isolation, and the feeling of overwhelming power amongst the people. When some of the citizens decided to try and get out, he had them killed as a warning to anyone else who tried to leave. With his insanity, came the feeling of over-protectedness over his people. He would not let them jeapordize all of them by feeding their curiosity. Eventually, people began to rebel against his strict ways. more than once there were killings of rage by the overseer. His guards eventually fell under his spell too, and became loyal to his every command. the others, who saw that he was unjust and unfair, rebelled, and a civil war broke out within the vault. The rebels, who couldn't leave, and the overseers army, who wouldnt let anyone leave. Eventually, three years into the war, there was alot of casualties and destruction. the overseer devised a plan to rid of the rebels, by destroying a larger half of the vault, not controlled by his soldiers. He orders his men to construct a bomb and does so, killing many. Eventually, he kills himself, realizing his ways of insanity. The remains of what was his army fall into disarray, and scatter themselves amongst the remains of Vault 36.

 

The guards would be the enemies you fight in the vault. But i want there to be sane people within the confines, whose deranged family members wont let them leave, like you know, wives and children.

 

I wanted this to be a mod, and for it to be a quest that takes the player a few hours. I want to make this vault HUGE xD

So far, i worked on this for a day, Ive set a lay out of a cave system infested with raiders that will build up to the entrance. I want there to be a quest involved, but im not sure what to make it just yet xD

 

 

 

So, if anyone happens to read this, tell me what oyu think of it so far, and if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them :D

Dude, this sounds AMAZING. I couldn't even pass the part where it just leaves you to make everything on your own on the GECK tutorial, I just didn't know how to work it right :P If you know of any other tutorials, I could check it out and possibly help. I could do a couple of the kids' voices if you wanted me too. An insane one, if you will. I like rambling. Even if I can't do the modding, I could always voice act. This would be an awesome mod, and I can't wait for it's release. I like the idea, but will all of it be using the ruined vault pieces? Or will some of it be the 'pristine' ones?

I was actually thinking of making it so some of the guards that just wander aimlessly mumble on about random things, maybe i could use your help. And as for whether or not it is made with the pristine pieces, i was going to use a mix of both, in different cells. the section of the vault of where the bomb went off will look like it was destroyed, but the rest will look like fine, with overtones of the combat that went on.

 

Im still working on the caves, but as for the entrance to the vault, i have visions, that are awesome :D

 

Like, instead of opening the vault door, for the player wont be able to, there will be a section of the caves that have been blasted out in an escape attempt that went miserably wrong. The hall within the blast leads to an apartment complex on the side of a plaza that I want to be like, six, seven stories tall :D

 

So the player can weave theyre way through these abandoned apartments, in wonder at what mightve happened, but he can go out on to the balcony of one of the apartments, and look in amazement at the biggest room he's ever seen! But then of course, hell see the guards below, and the bodies of those hung by chains, who tried to escape...

 

If i can do this, it will take awhile, but the feed back REALLY, REALLY helps :D

 

If anyone else wants to see this happen, please keep giving me replies, its quite motivating actually :P

 

and while im not an expert modder, I will learn if that is what it takes

 

Thanks for the reply, I will keep my progress posted as it grows :P
