Twin Peaks/Alan Wake "Bright Peaks" (new zone)

[Shnissigga]

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums but I've been working on an idea for some new added content to New Vegas. The basic idea is that while traveling in the Mojave Wasteland you stumble across a flying piece of paper which has a note written on it, which will elude to you having to search for an old US-Federal Outpost. In the outpost you'll find a journal. This is where the new content starts, as once you begin reading federal agent Alan Cooper's journal you are transported into his journal and consequently also to a place called Bright Peaks (as this is what the journal is retelling). A great example of what I'm sort of talking about is the quest in TES:IV Oblivion where you are tasked to find some famous painter and you enter his "magical painting" where you fight trolls or something, but you get the gist of what I'm getting at hopefully.

 

Bright Peaks is going to be a small town containing a diner, an assortment of houses, a police station, a gas station, a lumber yard/mill, probably one or two other establishments. All of this is going to be both high up in the mountains and overlooking a lake. Across from the town there will be a lodge next to a waterfall. There will be two major quests in the mod; however one being much bigger than the other. The larger of the two quests will revolve around exploring the surrounding area for both clues and missing journal entries, as well as finding and saving federal agent Alan Cooper from one of the crazed townspeople. I haven't fully finished the ending of the story/questline either. I'll be weaving the Great War atomic fallout aspect into the feel of the mod as well. The second major quest but having a much smaller significance to the overall story, starts during the first night that you're in Bright Peaks the town will be attacked by ghouls which you'll have to defend yourself from. Through asking around the town you find about the nearby lodge and the history behind the ghoul attacks. Dr. Lynch and his creations are terrorizing the town and its up to you to stop him once and for all. Essentially you fight your way to the lodge, then you fight Dr. Lynch who runs around in his labyrinthine lodge which you have to chase. There will be one mini boss named Eraserhead then you'll be able to kill Dr. Lynch. There will also be ghouls in the house, plus a locked basement full of them. There will be a chainsaw or something right before the door or something, that's just for shits and giggles.

 

So far the only rewards I'm thinking about are a bunch of skill books (scattered around the area of course). That was the one thing I found New Vegas blew on, was skill books and skill points generally, so hopefully that will be useful to everyone. I was thinking of giving some interesting weapon for the Dr. Lynch fight, but I haven't thought about one yet.

 

Sorry for such a long winded post, and thanks for anyone who got to this point! Much appreciated. However what I would like from all of you guys would be comments on the idea / willingness to play said mod. Also if any of you are good at scripting / the G.E.C.K. please contact me as I have questions! If any of you are interested in helping with this project that would also be great, please contact me! (I don't really want to just give out my email address here so I'm sure we'll figure something out). So far I've only been working on the design of the mod, i.e. creating the town and surrounding area's.
