Working Lucky 38

oh yes, lets have a basement expansion of the casino and an option to put the robots in there to work later on as bartender. so when you kill mister house and have taken over you find your way in there.

 

and then maybe we can have a quest for spare parts or something to get the robots goin,

with an option for science based characters/robotic perk users to bypass the whole show,

just like it is in the original game.

 

and yeah basicly thats it.

a fully functioning casino with individual npc routines to make it somewhat look alive.

 

 

plus some nice music playing at the bar at the top, that hopefully can be customized by ourself via a script, which in turn is attached to a jukebox letting you select songs+a stocked bar with lots of diffrent drinks and you would maybe have to hire someone, which is also tied in into a quest to just bring the bar up and running again.

 

i think this would be cool. they should have included it in the original game.

 

and then also replace the creepy music from the lucky 38 suite.

 

sadly tho i cannot script, so this is all speculative.

:confused:

it would be nice, if we had an actual script database. mods would turn out much more fun i think.

I found it odd no one made a mod yet that did this. I mean who wouldn't want to run their own casino and maybe rake in some extra caps...

 

Actually I always thought it should be open to the public after you kill house, meaning your compaions can come to the penthouse with you. That and maybe have a choice to help out around the strip/freeside depending if your evil or good. Like if you get so many caps from the casino you can buy "upgrades" for the strip if your evil or nuteral. And the same but for freeside/westside and you get to help out the Followers if your good.

Surprises me as well that there is no mod for that! I tried once to make a mod and it's a lot of work!

 

But I will be so glad to give a bit of life to the casino and to be the owner! :)

Okay, I just got to the part where you finally give the platinum chip to Mr. House, and it gave me some ideas for a mod.

 

First idea: if you upgrade the securitrons under Fortification hill, you can ask Mr. House for a demonstration of the upgrades. Doing so teleports you to an otherwise inaccessible firing range in the Lucky 38's basement. There's an elevator door there that does nothing, so I think that area should be accessible at any time through Victor's elevator dialogue.

 

Second idea: :excl: MAJOR SPOILERS! DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN AS FAR AS I HAVE! :excl:

 

 

Tying in to the idea of the open basement, I noticed a terminal in the back of the room that you have to noclip through the force fields to get to. I checked it, and apparently it's connected to the reactor of the casino, but also does nothing. House mentions that he went into a coma-like state for several decades after the Great War due to power outages. I'm thinking that this could be a way to complete the quests where you need to get House out of the way, but without killing him outright. I personally don't want to kill him because he's a decent guy, even though his plans for Vegas remind me of George Orwell. After doing that or killing him, using the terminal with his face on it could have a science check to reprogram the securitrons to staff the casino and open it to the public.

Like maybe convince the more "normal" members of various families to come and work at the Lucky 38 instead. (As a very general basis for the quest)

or more realisticlly convince the kings gang in freeside to work there and part of the quest would involve haveing to assasinate Mr.House in order for The King and the rest of his gang to agree.

Well, if you work with Mr House you speak to him, OR if you go independent speak to whomever you're working with (Yes Man, Crocker or Caeser) With a dialogue choice of something along the lines of "Since Mr House is out of the way, do you mind if I run the casino?"

Though I have a questline and lots of genral ideas, I the Airship is on hiatus until I can get some modelers to help. This is one of the reasons I'm currently working with Joshua121 on a Vault mod- once I have a mod to my name then I can start attracting more teammates to help with other projects, besides which we both like the way the Vault thing is turning out.
