[WIP] New Vegas Bounties III

[gunslinger6792]

Someguy historically goes dark for a time even months at a time and then magically pops back up and mods like crazy. You can't do what he does and not burn out or need downtime before starting back up again. If you're that worried about it learn how to mod and then help the poor man out when he comes back.

I'm not worried really. I was just interested if there was any news on the project.

Considering he said May last time, I imagine he'll at least pop up to tell us what's what. He's in the home stretch now! :D

Considering "Firebase Zulu", "Just a Courier", and "The Message" are all but abandoned, does anybody know how they were going to go down?

Firebase Zulu was abandoned the other two weren't officially abandoned yet.

 

Firebase Zulu is referenced heavily in the inheritance. Basically it was a massive base defence mod where you help a large NCR camp hold against a massive legion force.

 

Just a courier (I think) was set years after new vegas where the now retired courier takes part in one last mission.

 

Can't remember the last one. There was one planned at one point that involved fighting super mutants in mexico.

If I remember correctly, The Message was going to be based on the classic western Shane.

Anyone know where I could read more about them? I knew the basic gist of Firebase Zulu, I was moreso curious about the story and how it would have ended, as the WIP thread had been wiped clean of any information when he decided to kill the project. I know Just A Courier had something to do with 20 years later and you find Marko on his deathbed, I was once again wondering about the plot, and how the fast forward in time would have been incorporated.

As I recall, The Message, aside from sharing Shane's basic plot of a stranger (the Courier) becoming embroiled in a struggle between ranchers and brahmin (cattle) barons, it also took some inspiration from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, though in what way was, I believe, never divulged.

 

Just a Courier, if memory serves, dealt with the time skip via starting after the main game ends, and not dealing with the main New Vegas worldspace, though your actions in the main quest would be mentioned in the mod.

 

Check through all of Someguy's threads, he mentioned various mod ideas in most of them, though you'll have to some digging.

[gunslinger6792]

Firebase Zulu was canned because New Vegas's engine can't support what he was trying to do. It simply put to much strain on game causing it crash quite often so he laid it to rest. Someguy also likes to propose possible ideas maybe work on them a bit before going back to other things. As a modder I can say it's hard keeping your attention on one project so sometimes I start up one or more new mods before coming back to the original to finish it.

Got info on all of them. This post has a brief description of several potential mods. This post and this post have info on Sinners and Slaves, the possible next mod in the series, final mod before FO4. Sixth post down on this page is about The Message, as does this one, and this one, both of which also talks about Just a Courier. There's also a few mods not part of the overarching story. The Man from Old Mexico is briefly mentioned on this page and the next two. Described an outline for a mod called Darkest Heart 7 posts down here, a rough outline for a town mod called Overpass here. New Vegas Noir is described here. He's also mentioned a couple of comedic short mods to maybe one day make, The Ballad of Bobby Bass, Someguy's Scintillating Scenarios and Groom Lake. A Bobby Bass companion mod, a random encounters mod, and a weird Area 51 mod, filled with Alchestbreach references. Also mentioned having an outline for a mercenary mod called Martin's Marines that he's saving for Fallout 4. Reading through 30 pages of Someguy's old posts was totally worth spending an hour or so on.
