TTW - The future

[skyrimlu]

First of all thank you for your time reading the following!

This is not a mod yet but a bunch of ideas based on some Fallout Lore, imagination, experience with other mods, reading several opinions and requests in other dedicated Fallout forums....

All of these ideas are possible and not so hard to implement. Mods with similar functions already exist.
OFC to make this possible a lot of twists and modifications would need to be done. By me alone...would be to hard and for sure you will be playing Fallout 4 before I can finish it.

TTW - Tale of Two Wastelands has been my companion for almost 2 years. After suffering a work accident I had to stay home without much to do. I played several games - first Skyrim until I discovered Fallout NV.

After several runs of Vanilla and most DlCs I became tired of the same thing over and over, decided to try modding...I am still learning...it's hard...

When I found about TTW a new world of possibilities happened. It was hard to play Fallout 3 on my PC and suddenly I could play it together with FNV ... WOW that made be happy and made want to learn more about modding.

I am still learning...and only recently published a few mods.

Lately I have been converting Fallout 3 mods for my personal use, got a couple already published...and more and more Ideas are flushing...

So here are some of those Ideas that you might or not agree, you may contribute somehow...with opinions, with mods, etc...

ATTENTION: I am not English so forgive some grammar mistakes and so on...important is communication...


The Plot

--------------------------------------------------
Traveling to New Vegas (NV) after many adventures in DC the LO (Lone Wander) had to do some jobs for caps, after all money/caps was still a necessity...

So the LO (Lone Wander) becomes The Courier...

After the shot in the head some amnesia was still prevalent so a journey to recover the past starts...

Returning to Goodsprings Graveyard The Courier/LO, finds important notes about the past.

Those revealed the meaning and reason of this travel to NV.
The LO was supposed to contact the Brotherhood in NV (NVBOS) and inform them of the situation in DC.


After meeting Veronica in the 188 and travelling to Hidden Valley, the LO had to do some missions for the NVBOS to gather info.
One was to find info about some of the missing NVBOS members near Black Mountain...(cont. #1)

The LO also manage to get informed about the situation with the NCR/Legion plus other factions in the NV area...by now was evident that the NVBOS was literally gone with just a few stuck in a bunker...

The NCR apparently was not the best solution for the people of the Mojave...
The Legion was a growing threat and a war between these two major factions was almost eminent...
The news about Mr. House revealed that an alliance with him would not solve the situation...
The meeting with Yes Man also was disappointing - the robot after-all had been involved from the beginning with Benny and all what happened to the Courier.

So the LO decides to investigate other possibilities....

#1


- Super Mutants

After the peaceful encounter at Black Mountain with the "Chosen One" and Fawkes, Tabitha and her rebel group of night skins/ super mutants returned to Jacobstown for a reconciliation with Markus and a cure with the help of Doctor Henry.

With the help of the LO already highly trained in Medicine, several super mutants and nightkin managed to get their insanity reversed, they kept some of their powers but without the previous consequences that would make them insane, some implants were developed and introduced for that purpose, afterwards some joined forces with the "Lone Wander" and embarked on a Journey to DC to convince or replace the other super mutants.

After some difficult diplomatic journey in DC, the majority of the few remaining super mutants accepted a peace treat with The Lyons Pride.

They had to go for a special quarantine to change their dietary habits and began to learn other abilities, some donated some "Blood Brotherhood" samples so some improvements could be made.

Instead of fighting some of them started to help, using their powerful muscular complex, with the reconstruction of the Capital Wasteland.
Places like Springvale, Bigtown and so on returned to a pre-war state where families could live in peace again.

Areas that were affected by radiation and hard for normal humans to go were also cleaned by these new giant heroes.

- DC Raiders/The Pitt

With all of this force crossing the previously destroyed Wasteland some Raiders in the DC area had no choice but to give up their junk life and undergo a cure in recovery clinics built all over.
In some cases force had to be used but instead of killing special stun weapons replaced the previous ones of mass destruction.

After being called to journey into The Pitt the Lone Wander had to come up with a solution to avoid more bloodshed.

After all these years of science and medicine studies, the recovery of Project Purity, the alliance with the Lyons Pride/Brotherhood (LPBOS) and all the power built, the Lone Wander had a great chance to persuade Ashur to stop the slavery business and finding a cure for the Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion (TDC) plus using this to cure other mutations. But OFC things were not that simple...the LPBOS was still very busy and could only land a small unit to travel with the LO. This unit was now better equipped with stun tech weapons and also undercover gear...


Instead of fighting the way into The Pitt the LO used a small force of Lyons Pride Brotherhood of Steel (LPBOS) including Paladin Kodiak (also known as Greg Bear) as he knew quite well the area, travelling by Vertibird to Downtown in The Pitt. This was not a normal Vertibird but one with high tech developed to infiltrate areas in a stealthy way. The vert could create an invisible shield to avoid detection....

The attack on to Downtown came by surprise and most the raiders were immediately controlled with the same tech that the Enclave used on the LO when recovering the GECK, most raiders were dominated, disarmed and controlled, except for two old raiders...
The small force of LPBOS managed to get some of the raiders gear and used it to go undercover.


Making further contacts with Midea the LO got informed of the situation and for some solutions to reach Ashur in Uptown. To avoid more fight the LO and Paladin Kodiak (PK) decided to go under cover as slaves to the other areas not yet controlled. Apart from the slave clothes both the LO and "PK" were wearing stealthy equipment plus some concealed weapons, including guns and grenades with stun effect.

Apart from the interest on the steel produced in The Pitt (steel could be used to further update tech back in DC and also for the reconstruction of some areas), the LO wanted to get some samples of the trogs for further studies...

The LO managed to collect several valuable steel ingots and also neutralize the trogs and wildmen in the steelyard and also recover some bots, previously inactivated.

Back to Midea the LO was told that a solution to reach Uptown and Ashur would be to fight in The Hole. Still undercover...
With the arrival of Paladin Kodiak his older brothers John and Grudd were caught by surprise, the LO using the stun weaponry made the fight end quickly, sparing the brothers lives.

After some treatment John and Grudd would finally decide to join forces with the LO...

Finally Ashur listened to the LO.

Ashur had isolated himself from the rest of the Wasteland and wasn't aware of the changes undergoing in DC, the slavers and raiders returning from the Wasteland wouldn't inform Ashur of these news because that would eventually change Ashur's mind.

As well as Sandra ( Sandra Kundanika Ashur's wife), the LO had great knowledge of science and medicine and after being convinced about the reality outside The Pitt, Ashur decided to inform the Lo about his wife's studies and joining forces to help the affected people.


"...now that we do have a cure, things will be different. We won't need to kidnap people for our city. We'll be able to grow naturally.
Ashur would greatly re-organize the Pitt by abolishing slavery and granting all its citizens their freedom".


"...we have a chance at curing the disease that's been ravaging The Pitt since the bombs. Without it killing our kids, we can grow like a real city. No more bringing in slaves. No more forced labor. Things can get better. It's taken me a lot of work to rebuild this city. With your help, it's finally going to have a chance".

Some of the raiders still left in Uptown wouldn't agree to a peaceful solution and started a rebellion against Ashur, most had become powerful warlords, elite raiders, and didn't want to leave their privileges behind. So Ashur asked the LO for help to contain these rebels. After some skirmish the warlords were contained and incarcerated by the LO with help from the now free slaves and the small force of LPBOS, together with Ashur.

Afterwards The Pitt became the real free city that Ashur had dreamed about. No more need for slaves to produce steel ingots, these were now produce by robots and traded to DC to help on reconstruction.

Part of The Pitt technology was dismantled and replaced with a water purifier so in a few years time the rivers around the area would be free of radiation.

Some of the previous slaves left to live in some of the new communities in DC.

Recovered raiders changed their life and an area of entertainment opened in Uptown with bars with live music - most ex-raiders from the wasteland found The New Pitt an easier place to adapt to their new life. Most manage to get away from hard drugs but marijuana was introduced as therapy and a way to keep them calm. Reggae was discovered...

The tunnel connected to DC was recovered and trains started to circulate to different points...



- Liberty Prime

With Liberty Prime recovered some major updates were introduced with suggestions from he LO. Such piece of tech could now be used to lift massive blocks of rubble that the recovered super mutants had no power to do it. The new weaponry introduced was also in the line of spearing lives instead of killing.

Other similar robots were built for the same purpose.

- Brotherhood Outcasts

The remaining Brotherhood Outcasts finally recognized the Important work going on and returned to peace with the Lyons Pride taking advantage from all the new and recovered tech.

- Mother Ship Zeta

After the challenging abduction in Mother Ship Zeta, the lone wander got even more powerful resources at his/her disposal. All this alien tech could now be used for transportation via portals to different worlds. The biological studies made by the aliens revealed also some fantastic possibilities in terms of reversing the mutations occurred down on Earth.


- Ghouls

After some study and experiments a ghoul cure was discovered. Although some of the patients would not recover totally their human voice, they could now undergo plastic surgery and skin reconstruction with cellular implants. In the initial stage the previously ghouls turned into some sort of duemmer.

Some ferals were also pacified, some helped in decontaminating areas.

- Back to New Vegas

After dominating and getting control of the Capital Wasteland and receiving news from LO, the now united BOS (Lyons + Outcasts) decided to send a regiment to NV.

The forced consisted of Lyons Pride, previous Outcasts, some regenerated super mutants and also a surprise, some rebels, former Enclave soldiers that joined the "Good Fight", after all not all Enclave people were aware of the intentions of President Eden until they started to listen to the news from Three Dogs about the LO. The new force got the name of UNBOS.

The idea is to find a peaceful solution for the problem in the west.

The knowledge about water purification, mutation cures and all the experiences in DC, The Pitt etc, all the power now possessed by the UNBOS, was enough to get control of key points in NV, recover the decadent BOS and proceed to help the population as they did in DC.

The job of the LO is now to convince the various factions with diplomatic meetings and in some cases a bit more extreme solutions.

Avoiding as much as possible a bloodshed the LO manages to convince some factions - the problem seems to be water and the LO has enough solutions for that.

Hoover Dam becomes less important has the population starts to rely on different alternatives.


-The Legion

OFC diplomacy is not easy, specially with fanatic people like the Legion, so the LO had to go and meet Caesar, unfortunately Caesar had a brain tumor - so to cut the problem short a brain replacement becomes the solution. Caesar after the operation is transformed into a different person, he no longer desires fighting but dedicates most of his time to read old world books...

With Caesar "gone" some minor legion members desert and the fanatic ones are dealt with stunning and imprisonment afterwards. The Fort becomes a new correctional camp for these former legion members, guarded by UNBOS forces.
All the slaves in the fort and all Legion zones are freed.
The children from The Fort are sent to a recovery center where they can socialize with "normal children" afterwards, this center is specialized in a new/old technology that integrates relations with nature, here you can find several domesticated species, different crops and agriculture, children are also learn how to recover and purify water from the rain. This technology is called permaculture.

-The NCR

The NCR is overwhelmed by this new force, after all this new force shares new ideas to help the population and to stop this stupid war.

A lot of work has to be done by the LO to convince members of the NCR about the future of Mojave. But slowly with perseverance the LO manages to show new possibilities to rebuild most areas, contacting different factions, creating new alliances.

In the end most members of the NCR join the UNBOS, seeing no reason to support PRESIDENT KIMBALL anymore. At Hoover Dam the President is received in an unexpected way, some NCR rebels will attack him with tomatoes...making Kimball retrieve to his vertibird and fly away.



Chief Hanlon

Due to the Courier's intervention, Chief Hanlon abandoned his plan to sabotage the defense of Hoover Dam. The rangers decide to assist the UNBOS admirably during the recovery of the Mojave Wasteland.

Hanlon, exhausted after a lifetime of service to the NCR, stepped down from his position in the rangers and retired to his ranch in Redding.

-The Fiends and other NV Raiders

As well of what happened in DC, some Fiends are convinced to get cured and stop attacking areas like Westside...In some cases minor force will be used but without need for killing, undercover the LO manages to introduce some modified drugs that slowly pacify these degenerated tribes.

This not only make the population happier but also proves to some NCR that the cause of the LO is just making them shift factions...

Vault 3

Again undercover the LO manages to smuggle modified drugs into Vault 3. Using a new tech called "Mosquito Spy Camera" the LO manages to inject an implant into Motorrunner's brain.

Motorrunner will go into a crisis after watching a slide show planted by the LO in the projector room. Images of the renewed Pitt where all those ex-raiders are happy enjoying life. He even breaks his helmet banging on the wall with rage for his past...after fainting when he wakes up a new life in the vault begins.

All of this is monitored by the LO seeing through Motorrunner's eyes.

The same technique will be used afterwards for some more resilient bosses.



...to be continued....
