Become the Bandit

[Squeetsquib]

So heres my Idea nexus: I find myself playing "bad guys" a lot (not sure what that says about me), and It would be amazing to have a proper roleplaying mod to bridge the gap. Firstly, A chain of highwayman features within the speech system:

 

ROB OPTION: Must have weapon out [This possible?], essentially holding up a random NPC.

So It could possibly go either way, maybe this could be a speech check? A random number of caps, or random leveled list items to could added to your inventory or to the trade inventory upon a successful mugging.

Positive Reaction: "This is all I have, please don't kill me!" and opens a trade menu.

Negative Reaction: "If I'm going to die, I'm taking YOU with me!" and triggers combat.

 

KNOCK OUT OPTION: Cause a NPC to fall to his knees giving you the option to ROB or TIE-UP.

The Dialogue could be something along the line of: [Attempt to Strangle NPC] or [Attempt to Knockout NPC]

A hotkey could be added via MCM to attempt to knockout NPC's when equipping a melee weapon.

 

Positive Reaction: Message in right corner alterting you that your knock out was successful, and the character falls down like an essential character, allowing you to tie them up or rob them. If there are any NPC's in the short radius of the action they will become hostile.

Negative Reaction: Message in right corner alterting you that your knock out was not successful, causing the character to become hostile.

 

TIE UP OPTION: Make NPC drop to his knees and have his arms bound behind his back [i believe this is already within the game?] At this point you could ROB or Knockout through a basic option box with no chance of failure. At this point you'd be given the second tier of options along with Knocked out individuals.

 

TIER2 OPTIONS: TAKING HOSTAGES

Hostages could be forcibly required to follow you, do basic actions, or act as a human shield in combat. They will attempt to escape, in turn you can bind there legs, causing them to move slowly and not attempt to escape as often.

Crucify: Require some in-game items?

Hang: Require Rope?

Pike Decapitation: Require Pike and Sharp Melee Weapon?

 

 

NEW NPCS: A possible new faction of organized somewhat more civilized raiders.

Negotiator: [NPC Who you can sell Hostages to],

Slaver: Turn Hostages into slaves with a slave collar. Train them to be a Fighter or Carrier. Sell Hostages on the Slave Black Market.

Brainwasher: brainwash Hostages to no longer flee.

 

NCR Hostages: Negotiate Return Pricing through a new NPC.

Legion/Raider Hostages: Will not negotiate or pay for hostages.

Other NPC Hostages: Sell to Slaver on the Black Market.

I would suggest Project Ultimatum. I use it for the kinds of things you are describing. www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/40593/?
