Command Securitron Army / Work with Yes Man AND NCR

[GoldenFenrir]

Ah back after 2 weeks with no internet! Back to business.

 

I like the idea of Yes Man as your link. I would like to see Yes Man upload a program into the pipboy so that you can contact him at any time.

Then can you call him to give the command to send in the Securitrons to help you. It works. It's lore friendly. It's a simple concept. I like it.

 

 

So let's talk story, or as you called it The Journey.

The journey wasn’t very well written or thought out by Obsidian.

Once you choose among indie,House,Ceaser, or NCR.

The game has only 2 choices left to make

(I'm not counting telling Yes man to ignore everyone and skipping to the end because then you're not even playing the game)

 

Option 1

Suck up to every single faction and DO EVERYTHING for them until they make an alliance with you.

 

Or option 2

Destroy the competition.

 

I already did the suck up playthrough on my NCR run. It was kind of boring.

I wanna choose the only other option the game gives me on my second run. Take out the competition

 

But Obsidian never properly gives you the means to do so.

 

While it may seem cool or challenging for the courier to take on the world completely alone, it’s friggin ridiculous gameplay-wise.

If you try to destroy everyone on a lone super hardcore play-through you’ll likely get killed constantly. Like The Great khans in their canyon. There's like a hundred of them out in the open with no cover for you to take. I don’t even know if taking them all on alone in hardcore is possible without turning down the difficulty. Which defeats the point of hardcore.

 

But it teases you with the robot army but doesn’t give them to you till the end. I need those robots DURING the game,not 5 minutes before the credits roll. The Hoover Dam itself means nothing during the game. Because the entire game is working to achieve this goal (which in reality I don't even care about but the game doesn't give you anything else to do in the story) and you never actually see the fruits of your labor.

 

It was weak development on their part and the Robot Army mod I think would remedy that mistake. It gives me more of a feeling of actually accomplishing something for myself in the game, instead of just doing seriously NOTHING BUT RUNNING ERRANDS FOR EVERYONE until the credits roll.

And that's really all the game comes down to. Chores and errands to do for all the factions until the Victory at Hoover dam and then CREDITS. I cannot stress that enough. That's the journey.

 

See in Fallout 3, no matter the reason, you WANTED to follow the storyline. Because it's YOUR story. The story was you on an adventure to fulfill your own destiny. And you were motivated with the tale of your father.

 

After killing Benny, the story is just you becoming everyone's lapdog.

So that's why I want this mod. A mod that lets you properly take control of your own story because it gives you the right means to do so.

The reward for your labor is here.

i completely agree with this mod idea, if yes man is programed to follow my orders then let them be MY orders not the Yesman path, the idea of yes man is that it lets the player do what he wants with new vegas, and if i want to use the Securitrons to assist the ncr in holding the region (without f*#@ing up the surrounding towns in the process) i should be able to. plus as a side note i am doing a TTW MZC run right now and in the lore of MZC the tsc is supposed to be allied wtih the NCR, but i want to be able to assert myself as a part of vegas and not screw up my alliance with the NCR. In short give me controll over my securitrons

I have a thread (An independent New Vegas mod) that focuses on several different areas post end game. One of those areas is how the courier controls and utilizes the Securitrons in the New Vegas area (and beyond). Feel free to contribute any requests of what you'd like to see, and if they are good ideas maybe I'll be able to add them. Be warned though the thread is pretty involved at over 140 pages.
