devinpatterson Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I like him! Hes pretty damn cool. Ranger Boltie here to help you. Yeah I think they could be a good addition/fun. I think someone had mentioned (or it was bouncing around in my brain) them being a bit neurotic about litter. Well maybe one of them (say there's 3 or 4 at the visitor center) could be a temporary guide in teh same way the various tribals were at one time or another. And if you drop anything he has a comment, same if you have a weapon that uses fire, or you use a campfire etc (little Smokey the Bear slogans). But he could be really useful for finding places as I'd assume he has gps coordinates (or the fallout equivilant) and map data. I think we could build a few quests around pre-war knowledge that they would have. Possibly locations of other ranger stations, lost vehicles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Oh (and just so I dont forget), I had a little idea for some black humor. In the rangers station should be some skeletons with shreds of clothes and threadbare ranger hat or two. The protectrons may speak to the skeletons adn refer the player to them for questions.....as if their programming doesn't allow them to realize they'v been dead for over two centuries.

theDemonJackal Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 That could very well work!I like the idea of slogans running around the ranger station. (maybe even some little easter eggs)Maybe have the robot rangers report to a ghoulified head ranger that will be pulling the strings in the background(or something like that)(As for black humor) I really like the idea of the bots refering to dead skeletons as if they were living. Like maybe go over to one thats just sprawled across the table and say something to the effect of:"And this is Ranger Carol. Aint she a looker? Say hello Carol....Ha-Ha And she got one heck of a sense of humor. Dont she kid?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 exactly the kind of dark mirth I had in mind :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 OK finished the protectron. Well mostly, might make some variations (different colors, minor tweaks to teh model) on the boots, backpack etc so that there is a bit of variety. Might dim the dome-it's crazy bright. And I think I could add a touch more green to the protectron paint to closer match the park ranger hat. But anyway. Here it is; PIC; http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u404/devinlpatterson/FONV%20Mods-works%20in%20progress/ZionProtectronSmall_zps522af5e3.jpg http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u404/devinlpatterson/FONV%20Mods-works%20in%20progress/ZionProtectron_zpsdfaff323.jpgI also made a new backpack out of the slave pack. That model (slave) is great for post apocalyptic, but not particularity useful as a pre-war model.

I thought we could use it as an additional item that adds +50 lbs carrying capacity when equipped for the player. That's a very valuable boost.

I'm confused, I thought the Rangers were going too be NCR rangers sent to push the tribes off their land so they could farm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devinpatterson Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 So park rangers are trying to push the tribes off the land or am I getting my mods mixed up?No they is no overlap in behavior between the bots and the NCR rangers, they are separate entities. The protectron park rangers are in the Zion visitor center. The sub topic in the thread starts a couple of pages back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
