DreamingOfWar Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Personally, I would love a modification like this. It's basically the same as Skyrims - Alternate Start "Live Another Life".However, I have no idea when something like this would be available and I have no modding experience what so ever. Has anyone contemplated to make this yet? Or is the Creation Kit needed? I was thinking something like this. The example here is that the player does not want to have a main quest or anything to do with the pre - war era. 1) Character is seen viewing the Wasteland for the first time. (Same as when you exit).2) If you do not want the main quest - you can disable it.3) If you disable the main quest - dialogue to do with your wife or Shaun are disabled. (Not sure how this would work). How hard would this be to do? I honestly dislike the idea of having a wife and kid - and I am sure a lot of people do too.

Falloutdude11 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 This almost certainly requires the FO4 GECK. Also, this is a bit awkward to implement from a lore point of view. All the main quest dialogues regarding getting revenge of Kellogg, finding Shaun and destroying the Institute would still be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't want to play the Main Quest - however in the standard version it feels forced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpaquasar Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) This might be possible to do allthough it will be quite the task, I hate it when stories like this is forced upon the player. At the very least there should have been another story to choose from as well. This is basically the only thing I disklike about the game, had bethesda built upon a simillar story with what Obsidian did in New Vegas it could have been an even more powerful story.

Goldboat00 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Or instead of a synth you are a ghoul, and your wife and kid either get into the vault or die (a little dark I know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kn1ghtfall Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm also waiting for an Alternate Start mod that allows bypassing the intro sequence and the main quest, maybe even without disabling it (e.g. talk to somebody to start it in case you change your mind - as for the remarks about Kellogg and Shaun, I'll just ignore them).Another thing that I'd like is a more "realistic" world, replacing deathclows and other monsters with humans, mercs... Well, let's hope the new GECK comes out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazaRd777 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 This is pretty much what happened with FO3, a mod just made the intro sequence seem like a dream that you could wake up from. Then it gave you different options to start from. No matter what we're stuck with Shaun, but someone should be able to make a mod similar to FO3's.
