Prosthesis

[Khadaver]

First of all I would like to say that I am very new to Fallout New Vegas, I am not a mod maker and I tend to make run-on sentances. That said I'll get on to my mod suggestion...

 

I would like to see someone create a mod that would allow you to replace limbs with anything fro make shift tree branch peg legs to mechanized limbs perhaps even melle or progectile based limbs that would also prevent you from useing 2 handed weapons. Larger prosthetics like something the size of power armor legginswould need to be placed over armors. If anyone should decide to take on such a project I hope that you will include the ability for players who play as ghouls or even otehr custom races to use this and maybe throw in some npc's with prosthetics too. There is one nice looking cyborg arm I seen but I don't have FO3 so I can't use it...

Seems like a unique and expensive way to treat a crippled limb... :P Seriously, though, I think this would add a very Deus Ex element to the game and perhaps a new depth to game play. Not sure how well it ties in to lore, but then again we do have cybernetic implants in NV and Rex is a cyborg. Perhaps these upgrades would be available at a specialized clinic, or once you've replaced a limb you could canabalize hardware to make your own upgrades, dependent on repair and/or science skill.

 

It'd be crazy to be able to have the option of making a full cyborg body, such as the one below, complete with rad resistance, a higher DT, the built-in weapons that deny the use of conventional weapons as you've mentioned, and perhaps nightvision or built in stealth systems. Maybe you'd even have to burn microfusion cells or fission batteries to keep going; could be an amusing change for hardcore players if that kind of coding could be done.

I know this might be crazy but if it would be possible to lose a limb without dieing and crawl to safte perhaps then there would be more of a need to replace a limb in lue of just lopping it off to add a peg leg or a megabuster arm cannon or any prosthesis for that mater normal people don't just chop limbs off to replace them with prosthetic ones... While crawling you could maybe only use pistols or other single handed weapons and or for 2 handed wep use would have to stop crawling and sit up. If a player had a peg leg it should slow you down perhaps a cane could be used when a wep is not drawn to slightly boost walking speed with a peg leg but a mechanical leg could perhaps make you move quicker, jump higher or move more quietly with modifications done to the legs. r4y30n mentioned Deus ex In the trailer I saw for human revolution the new upcoming Deus ex title his arms could transform into diferent weapons and back to a normal hand even a strange grasper to throw enemies that would also be cool not sure if thats even remotely possible to animate. these were just some more thoughts I had in good ole run-on sentance form for your reading displeasure. lol
