Danneyo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm pointing out what I see as flaws in this idea. You are changing what is a fundamental driving force throughout the game, without which there is no story. The Sole Survivor is doing these to get her child back. Once you open up a can of worms like alternate dimensions, that weight is gone. It doesn't matter if the player can only use it once; you are introducing into this universe a known means of traveling between dimensions. The way you are reacting to what is some very reasonable criticism does not reflect well on your claims to over 20 years of modding experience. While the way criticism was given by some others here wasn't particularly good, that does not in turn entitle you to dismiss my own by saying I can't be pleased.

Deleted2948850User Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I agree with Danneyo, changing the 'timeline' like this would completely undo the fundamental driving force.Not only that, but all the marks you've left on the wasteland, the friends you've made, the things you've build, etc. I'd much rather Pinocchio the 10-year old synth version of Shaun into a real boy than to lose all that.

Danneyo Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yeah, that would be much more interesting, exploring an emotional connection that the Sole Survivor missed out on with his or her son that is both the boy you thought you knew, but completely different.

randydg Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 who wants a fake kid when you can have the real deal. talk about streaching things.. turning a synth into a real boy is a joke right? Anyways, I'll figure something out. even it if means only getting his wife back and leaving the events the same by letting the institute have shaun, but save the wife/husband. like go back and say steal kellog's weapon and mod it so it does't fire. that way he just knocks them out and steals the baby. and make sure somehow they survive the re-frezing. then return to the present. and go off to find them since you don't know where they are. make it an adventure. perhaps I can build a house somewhere alone with a wall around it and a garden etc.. and you find clues to where she is at. Would this be a better idea. P.S. I have done many mods for other games, but I've never asks for opinions on them before doing them. I've had probably 5 - 10 mods in my life have a great review the rest where average score. I guess you will always have haters. and telling someone they never mooded before is just being a troll. you have no idea what I have done.

Deleted2948850User Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Why? All the technology to download/upload ones mind is already there. The Memory Den And I'm going to have to assume that cloning tech exists in the Fallout universe as well. Okay, okay, I suppose it doesn't have to be a synth turned human, but at least some alternativeto completely undoing the Wanderer's timeline. Besides, if he/she went back to the pre-war eraalong with his/her husband/wife and child, wouldn't they still have to face the war? Ps: I'm not questioning your time as a modder or your previous mods, but if you ask for people'sopinions you should expect some criticism as well. And in my personal opinion this would simplyundo the driving force and storyline. On top of that I'm simply giving you some alternative ideasthat would achieve similar end results while maintaining what I think shouldn't be lost. Do with itas you see fit and good luck with your mod. Edited December 2, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randydg Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 THank you Darkco. I really don't want present shaun in a synth kid body. he is to corupted by the institue. to me he is not my son anymore. Sigh.. I guess this idea is scrapped. unless I change the story and make a mod where Kellog was out of bullets from killing things on his way to the vault. and he fires at her and click. thus she is still alive not changing the timeline. Having him knock them out cold and refreezing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2948850User Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 You're on to something there. Kellogg knocks your spouse out, leaving them alive. He still takes Shaun, but the institute keeps him on ice just for the use of his clean, unnuked DNA. Thus keeping the wanderer's driving force to head out into the wasteland and finding his/her son.You could even add your spouse as a follower or leave him/her in the care of a settlement.

randydg Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think that is what I will do.. sounds like a plan. I don't even know why I said the original post. I guess cause I'm into teleportation/time travel and thought it would be good. never really thought it would make such a big impact on everything. figured I could just change a few things and everything else would be the same. ahh well. hmm perhaps I could also do a mod where after you get the pip-boy teleportation modification you can with +5 inteligence can modify it to teleport you anywhere and add a option to teleport you random locations. could be fun.

Deleted2948850User Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 The teleportation could be doable. Either by reprogramming the Institute's teleporter or your Courser Chip, cutting out the Institute from having to be the only place from where you can teleport to/from.

randydg Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 courser chip? the one that let you build the bulky console & pad that zaps you to the institue for the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
