It's no fun to stay at the YMCA-a mod idea

[devinpatterson]

Another one I posted in the wrong forum;

 

I was wondering if this idea for a mod had legs. Essentially it's the fallout equivalent of the YMCA, but instead of human instructors specially commissioned robots are used. The androids appear to be completely human in appearance and are used to teach Boxing, Karate, Judo, Muay thai, Jujitsu, mixed martial arts, kendo, kung-fu (weapons training as well) classes etc. There will be one android for each sport/discipline, so there would be over half a dozen androids. After the war they were stumbled across by a technically capable scientist. He reactivated them and removed all safety/security protocols so they were no longer restrained in their combat. Then had himself a little super army to protect the sports facility where the robots were solely under his control..

 

I noticed when editing a mod for quarry junction that the deathclaw mother got a player perk when enraged (I forget what it was now), and I thought that would be interesting adding perks to opponents. And why not martial artists.

 

Judo practitioners cold have stone wall (no knockdown) and super slam, Muay thai could have Unstoppable Force and piercing strike, nerve strikes could be simulated by paralyzing palm. Boxing would have very high attacks per second.

 

Then of course you have the weapon disciplines like kung-fu, kendo, karate. There perks along with a weapon could make them particularly dangerous.

 

They could have actor affects as well. Jujitsu (obviously the best sport of them all ) could have limb crippling effects, super slam, and choke (just like when you drowning) for example.

 

some perks they wold have in common (toughness, better criticals, adamantine skeleton etc). They could have maximum human specials (10 across the board for physical stats) as well as a wealth of information for their sport allowing them to level to the pc.

 

The main storyline could go one of two different ways. The tech/scientist became a tyrant once he had such powerful & unquestioning troops. An example of unchecked power corrupting. He began to take slaves (women) from the wasteland, have the androids take food from settlers etc. And thus for the good of everyone around has to be eliminated.

 

Or he could already be dead with the androids carrying out his last orders (maybe something like fetch me a beautiful woman, or gather me food etc) mindlessly over and over, wrecking havoc on the area around the YMCA.

 

What do you think? Interesting enough to begin work on? If so suggestions in re: to weapons, perks & actor effect (or just the mod in general) are would be readily accepted as would be any help.
