This, right here, is an absolutely amazing mod: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36922

 

It offers literally unique gameplay. I'm not just talking about Fallout - I'm talking in general.

 

There are no games that I can find (and I've been looking for a long while) that even remotely offer the "build a settlement and defend it from attackers in a much larger, rich setting" - there's Minecraft, but that doesn't have the amazing setting and backstory, plus it's a lot more rudimentary in the defense elements and is reliant on multiplayer for the village feel. There's the Dungeon Keeper series, but that stuff's OLD, and not freeform. There's Caesar IV, but that's a much more removed point of view (no wandering around your town in first-person).

 

Quite simply, this style of gameplay is so unique that there's actual money-making opportunities to be had here, in addition to the simple modding effort. More than that, if this remains as popular as it could be, then we might see this formally added into the game via DLC or future Fallout titles or something (in the same way Weapon Mods was formally added to NV after its success as a mod for F3).

 

The only modding effort I know of that has this much potential is nVamp, and that's only because it adds so much stuff... but it doesn't add anything as distinctly unique as this.

 

Unfortunately, it's without a developer, as its original, ar©oolka, stepped down in favor of real life stuff. It would be absolutely amazing if someone helped bring this mod back into active development - I'd do it, but I'm nowhere close to knowledgeable enough.
