Looking for ideas. "Population"

[ObLars]

Hi. I want to further enhance my modding knowledge, doing simple but still fun things. I sat in my chair and thought "What could i do..?" So i figured i could try and repopulate the wasteland, with traveling merchants, criminal scumpacks etc. So im looking for ideas. I'll add more traveling merchants right away. But i'd like some other ideas. :)

I'd love to see more people on the strip, it seems so.. empty, and if you wanted to expand on Gang members, I've searched all over but couldn't find much, nothing thrilled me more than making my way the LONG way to Vegas and getting ambushed by Convicts/Viper gangers, etc.. Getting me all giddy thinking about it, just my two ideas though.

Hm. That is indeed a good idea. I could add random raiding parties around the wasteland :thumbsup: Right now im setting up some caravan traders :laugh:

:) I'd love you for it, haha.

 

I'll be waiting for a release of your work, anything that adds more to the wasteland is a must-have for me.

 

A few mods add more to towns, but leave the actual WASTELAND alone, so I'd love to see what you come up with.

 

What about the idea of NCR/Brotherhood/Legion patrols, maybe NCR supply caravans? All I've seen are scripted ones close to inner cities. Sorry if my ideas are stupid, just throwing out things on the top of my head.

Hehe, nothing is stupid. :happy: I was thinking of adding Raiding parties, from both NCR and the Legion. Maybe add more of those jackals, in the more "populated" areas. :laugh:

Sound's good, I'd really love to see anything that affects the wasteland, gives it that more "Random encounter" feel, it's all too lacking now

 

Someone made a request thread suggesting Mutant packs / Creature packs roaming about, just some more ways to populate the wasteland.

Ooooh, I love these ideas. I don't usually download many mods, much more fun to figure out how to make it myself but this is one i'd have to get.

 

here's my idea, how about some unique encounters, other NPC's travelling alone or with a few companions, just like you. some are nice to you, some attack you, then give them some unique armor and weapons so it's special to find them.

 

EDIT: Oh! And I always loved the roaming damaged robots in FO3, maybe something like that. a sentry robot running around yelling all kinds of nonsense, rolling around in circles, then unloads on you if you get near it.

That would be very nice. :laugh: I ran into a problem though, which stopped me a little. I hate mods without voices, lipsync etc. Makes it seem so dead. I was trying to use some of the Vanilla voices for, atleast the Traders i am adding, but seems its impossible. I got to find a solution too that first. :(

Yeah this is so needed in NV, there are a lot of buildings and abandoned areas that could be kitted up like in tactics, I did it for outside of freeside manually, and I think its cool, but I can't get my punks and thugs to respawn, they're just one offs.. Which is ok i guess, but there needs to be heeeeeaps more.. And I cant really build forts or anything so good luck man.

BTW I don't think building tops etc have been walkmeshed properly like in FO3, i put guys on top of certain buildings or in places the player can't get to and most of the time they aren't there when I go to check it out in game.

 

Oh and i've noticed how hard it is to make it challenging and cool without going over the top.

But I would really love to see this kind of stuff, but in one massive mod compilation, I hate conflicts!
