Challenge Tower

[nohano]

I was thinking that a classic-style room-by-room challenge tower would be interesting, not to mention if it had rewards/hidden rewards.

Willing to help/collaborate, but the fact that I have not used the G.E.C.K. editor EVER and have yet to make any successful modifications on any other game should be taken into consideration.

That doesn't sound too difficult. I'm sure it could easily be done. Although if you just want to fight onslaught after onslaught of enemies, I suggest downloading Zombie Apocalypse which does just that.

I wasn't thinking of just room-by room enemies, more of room-by-room challenges, so there would be puzzles of sorts and also enemies, for example if possible you could have on a failed puzzle enemies spawn.

There would also be like hidden caches of ammunition/stimpacks or possible a saferoom with a shop and doctor every certain number of rooms, and should probably have scattered reward rooms. there should probably be some dsort of mega-reward at the top, so that there would be something for the players to strive for, and gain some sort of (digital) material worth, other than bragging rights.

That sounds very doable. And interesting. I would do it, but I don't think I would do a very good job.

[nohano]

well if you did it, it would get the general idea of it out and maybe others would like it too and edit yours or make their own. (I would love to help if you're gonna make it)

i want to do this but i would fail epicly :P ill ask my friend if he wants to help me with it :P

[krimzin]

maybe if we get enough monkeys with typewriters we could make something that doesn't totally suck! w00t! I'll see what I can do.

[acavedo]

Sounds pretty cool. I hope krimzin can make it and make it well.

I was just thinking about this idea, and it was pretty much the main reason I've come onto the board for the first time. I'm a longtime Nexus member but since I don't mod I haven't really had too much to contribute until now. Mainly my skills lie in ideas and writing, and so let me go further into what I was thinking.

 

Basically, it was pretty much the same idea as Nohano's above, a multi-level tower with enemies, traps, and puzzles that the player would either have to shoot or think through in order to get to the top. But what I had initially thought of was more like a background and story to it. Like the player would hear from either an NPC or some other means that there's either a rumored treasure up at the top, or a hardcore evil mastermind that terrorizes the wasteland from the top of his tower that needs to be taken care of once and for all. So you fight through all the levels, taking out the flunkies and once you get to the higher levels you start facing against the high-level members of this mastermind's syndicate... then finally at the top you face off against the master of the syndicate in a final showdown.

 

There could be a prequel mod to this as well that could be added into the storyline of it all, like maybe an NPC or companion is made that correlates with this mod, and the mastermind either has them killed or kidnapped, so then your motivation is more along the lines of revenge/rescue. I was thinking maybe this prequel mod could involve the mastermind killing/kidnapping the companion/NPC and then trapping the player inside a vault and would have to fight his way past whatever creatures/enemies to reach a secret escape hatch deep within the vault that leads out into the Metro tunnels and then back into the wasteland.

 

Now that I wrote that out, maybe the initial quest has the companion pitch you the idea of uncovering a secret presidential vault that was made for the First Family, the Presidential staff, Secret Service, etc (mainly for the idea of finding some important/valuable/powerful item). Then you get ambushed and locked in the vault, finding that the current inhabitants definitely aren't 'congressional'. So then you fight your way out, get back into the wasteland, and then go after the master in the challenge tower of doom.

 

Of course I don't have the first idea about what goes into actually modding something like this together. I just have the plots and the ideas, so if someone wants to work on this and just use me as a creative contractor, that's fine. I'd like to see this come to fruition so whoever can do it, have at it.
