CourierandWanderer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Good advice, I mean...this is Reno in the future. The war began in 2077 while this year is 2014. Therefore, with technology being improved, new places being built, and more of the wars that followed before the nuclear holocaust, it's possible that the city was renovated or went under construction. Changing the roads, streets, and sidewalks for new buildings to be placed. Anyway, in the Fallout 2 map of Virgin street, of the Chosen One is looking directly at the Reno Arch, would you say that he is facing north?

CourierandWanderer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) I've also found a few buildings that might be suitable for an NCR embassy. You know, for when I expand the area later. Edited March 30, 2014 by CourierandWanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtKraigO Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'm looking forward too seeing it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CourierandWanderer Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Just keep in mind that I'm only starting with what I can do in the GECK. The rest will be needing a team of other modders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adammcbane Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This really does sound interesting hope it's not dead already. Lots of charcters in the game keep mentioning New Reno and I was surprised to find out that it does not exist yet. Coming from Skyrim I guess I got spoiled since atm it seems if you can dream it a mod team is trying or has in Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFist501 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) How do you plan on getting to Reno and back? Edit: Don't get me wrong I'm not hating. I'm just wondering Edited August 19, 2014 by CrimsonFist501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmongo Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) FYI - I'm working on a New Reno mod. Actually I'm trying to do the entire "Big Circle" (New Reno, Broken Hills, Vault City, Gecko, Modoc, Den, and Redding). I've come to the conclusion that the GECK is a Vault-Tec experiment designed to sucker mod makers into thinking that they can do something useful and then frustrating them at every turn just to watch their reaction. Accordnig to the Fallout Wiki, New Reno is one of the few cities that isn't under NCR control by the time of FNV, and with the NCR distracted by the Legion I don't think that it's practical for them to shift their focus northward towards New Reno. However, Vault City is left with an undetermined fate in the lore, with the NCR known to have approved a covert plan to force Vault City into the NCR. My plan is to have a traveling merchant outside of the Freeside north gate. Speak to him and he'll transport you to New Reno (or close to it). Then a copy of him will be on the New Reno side that you can speak to so that you can get back to New Vegas. The mod is still in its early stages and I have been plagued with landscape bugs and almost useless navmeshing (the GECK is happy to navmesh right through fences and over boulders but won't navmesh along roads, and navmeshing an entire worldspace by hand is a bit too painful). If I can get past these issues without deciding that the GECK is just more trouble than it's worth, then expect a New Reno mod sometime in the next few months.

If I remember correctly (It's been a while since I've looked at the wiki), New Reno is surrounded by the NCR. The only reason they haven't been annexed is due to the families and the type of business that is conducted in NR, and from my understanding they're happy with just being neighbors. The families don't want to join the NCR as they would lose some of their power, and the NCR doesn't want to deal with all the drugs, prostitution, gambling, and gang feuds that go on in the city (drugs, prostitution, and weapons are illegal within NCR cities).

I wouldn't say it's surrounded. The NCR has Shady Sands and Vault 13 and 15 to the south. There's not much in the lore about anything between them and New Reno. It's like Carson City doesn't exist. Who knows, maybe it got nuked and there's nothing left there. If you look at a real map though, there are airports south and east of Lake Tahoe that would make good NCR military bases, so my guess is that the NCR's border would either be at those bases or maybe in Carson City if there's any place inhabitable there. There's not much between Carson City and New Reno, so it's safe to say that the NCR is a bit uncomfortably close to New Reno on the south side. To the west, though, there's a huge honkin set of mountains in between Redding and New Reno. I doubt that New Reno feels threatened from the west. To the east, there's nothing. Lots and lots of nothing. There used to be Broken Hills, but that's pretty much gone by the time of FNV. You've got the Sierra Army Depot to the north of New Reno, and after that, more nothing. If you go far enough north you'll end up in the area around Modoc, which isn't under NCR control, and Vault City is east of that. But aside from those, north and east of New Reno is mostly just empty Nevada desert. Given the nature of New Reno (the Wrights and the Van Graffs, all of the drugs, prostitution, etc. that you mentioned), it's easy to see that while the NCR does want to expand its territory northward, it probably is a bit reluctant to go after New Reno. It made a lot of sense to me that they would go after Vault City first. It's going to be easier to control, and doesn't have powerful crime families and drug problems and all of that. If the NCR controlled Vault City, they would then control all of the lands around New Reno. Since a covert plan to put Vault City under NCR control is already in the lore, it makes more sense to me to have that come before any attempt to annex New Reno.

sgtKraigO Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Although the wiki says it's unknown if Vault city joins the NCR I would think that with all the tech and medical supplies and the secret initiative the NCR planned to force VC to join the republic they would have joined. It's a very valuable city to just leave alone, especially with as large of an army as the NCR. If VC is apart of the NCR then according to this map (Keep in mind it's fan made) New Reno would be surrounded by NCR borders. I would imagine that being surrounded by all sides by a nation that is well known for annexing territory, and has the largest military force in the wasteland would cause the families to be nervous. Although from what we know it seems NR is more stable compared to what it was back in Fallout 2 there would still be friction between the families, so I could see some of the families not caring about the NCR as much as they should as they would be focused more on trying to better their position within NR. They essentially live in a bubble except with the knowledge of the outside world, as they have no interest in growing their borders, only furthering their wealth and hold on the city.http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080606162925/fallout/images/2/29/Western_USA_v1.0.jpg Edited August 26, 2014 by sgtKraigO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
