"Fallout 4: Hecate" Mod Idea

[Deleted31449895User]

One of the factions from Van Buren that intrigued me was the Daughters Of Hecate. Wouldn't it be great if the sequel to Fallout New Vegas took place in the Midwest and had you born as a member of the Children of Hecate, where you would have to find something to help save your tribe from destruction by the Legion. Or betray your tribe and have it absorbed into the Legion.

The main focus of the game would be tribalism, electricity would be....scarce, energy weapons much rarer, and survival would be a much bigger focus. You will be able to make custom armor, craft weapons, etc. You won't even have a Pip Boy, instead you will use a journal and map. There will still be cameos of older factions and characters such as the Brotherhood of Steel, Super Mutants, Joshua Graham, etc. It will take place entirely in the Four States Commonwealth, and you will actually be able to see what its like in Legion controlled land.

Places under control/ alliance with Hecate:

-Ouroborus.

-New Canaan (Rebuilt).

-Most of Utah and Colorado.

Places under control of Legion:

-Flagstaff.

-Most of Arizona and New Mexico.

This is after the first war with Hecate, which took place in 2282 after the Legion was weakened in its war against NCR. The game takes place in 2285, and both sides are at a stalemate. You are gonna be the one that will plant the seeds of the elimination of the Legion....or your own tribe.

Actually, I was thinking on something similar, with a few diferences, but I realy like your idea.

Maybe if we can get a small modding team we can do it, is a big and ambitious idea, but I think it can be done. We can even take textures from new vegas texture packs with theyre autors permission.

Also, the Legion is a lot more progressive (though still very ruthless) now, so it won't be a simple "good and evil" choice. With the death of Caesar, Lanius, and many other prominent Legion figures, morale was very low. Add to it the rebellion by Hecate, and the Legion had a big enough power vacuum that the current Caesar, the progressive Novus Imperium, was able to take power. Novus was very rewarding to those who did what they were told and succeeded, but was merciless to those who failed him. He also hate unnessary cruelty and was kind to the slaves, providing they did what was asked and the only thing coming out of their mouths was "Yes, Sir".

 

Also, Novus (though he never said this publicly) was strongly opposed to the war on NCR, feeling it was a waste of the Legion's resources. He also strongly disagreed with the sacking of New Canaan for the same reasons. He doesnt hate Hecate as she was the one who (indirectly) helped him rise to power and turn the Legion into a viable power. He also is much less casual about crucifixion, believing only the worse of the worse deserve them, instead preferring decapitations or hangings. He also wishes to tempt Joshua Graham into rejoining the Legion, as he knows he would be a powerful ally and has proven his worth by simply surviving being burnt alive. He also views women in a much softer yet still pretty sexist light. He says his troops should never rape or abuse them, saying "Respect your wife as you would respect your weapon. Take care of her, make sure she is healthy and happy. Happy wife, healthy wife, healthy children, strong soldiers or useful slaves."

 

All in all he is the lighter shade of the dark grey that Edward Sallow was.

 

Anyway, the weapons will be in 5 categories: Small Guns, Big Guns, Explosives, Melee, and Unarmed.

Small Guns:

Pistols (9mm, 10mm, .357mag, .44mag, .45)

Assault Rifle (5.56mm)

Hunting Rifle (.308mm)

Sniper Rifle (.308mm)

Laser Defender (Energy Cell)

Plasma Defender (Energy Cell)

Big Guns:

Mini Gun (5mm)

Flamer (Flamer Fuel)

Incinerator (Flamer Fuel)

Gatling Laser (Electron Charge Pack)

Tesla Cannon (Electron Charge Pack)

Laser Caster (Microfusion Cell)

Plasma Caster (Microfusion Cell)

Explosives:

Grenades (Frag, Plasma, Pulse)

Mines (Frag, Plasma, Pulse)

Missile Launcher (Missile)

Grenade Rifle (40mm)

Fat Man (Mini Nuke)

Melee:

Knives

Machetes

Bumper Swords

Sledge Hammer

Super Sledge

Unarmed:

Spiked Knuckles

Power Fist

Ballistic Fist

Displacer Glove

Some of you are wondering "why the hell is there no Energy Weapon skill?" Because energy weapons will be EXTREMELY RARE, with ammo that is almost as rare.

This i looking better and better, also, we could add crossbows and clubs or even sticks as weapons. You said that you would like to make it more survival based, so would be very cool to make medicines, drugs and etc from plants, and make stimpacks and actual chems very, very rare. Also would be awesome if you could convince Joshua Graham to side the legion or your tribe depending on wich side did you choose and make sentlements for them (or do them completely independent). Apart from that I can desing homemade weapons and outfits, but we will need a 3d artist for that, but I'm prety sure that someone will help us.

Also Hecate is actually an FEV mutant, one who happened to luck out and only have lesions on her face (which she passes off as war paint), and has become a powerful psyker, able to do short range teleportation to evade attacks. You will need to find a way of suppressing her powers if you wish to defeat her. She also uses a powerful custom MF Hyperbreeder Alpha, "Triad", which shoots a purple laser instead of a red one.

 

Novus wears heavy armor, but is also very quick and carries a powerful custom Ripper, "The Inspirer". You will need to find a way to cripple him if you wish to defeat him. How quick? He will have a agility of 11, meaning he will ALWAYS be faster than you.

Well, that combat with Hecate will be very difficult to make, so maybe we sould think on something else (for example making her invisible instead of teleporting), but I like the Novus one looks like hard but cool at the same time.

And also I have a desing for inspirer's painting.

Basically, in game terms she would turn invisible and become invulnerable while running to another place, so it will SEEM like she is teleporting. Kind of like what Houdini Splicers do in Bioshock.

 

Also, I have a companion mod idea for Fallout New Vegas.

I can't help you with that companion mod but I'm up for the Hecate mod, feel free to PM me about that, also I will send you my desings if you want so you can tell me what you think.

Sure, send me the designs. Also, plan on using this as CoH's symbol, on a violet flag

I also plan on the new Legion flag being a Sword and a Hammer crossed together, showing Novus's veiw of the connection between soldier and worker, each doing their part to help Nova Roma (what the actual faction is called, Legion is just the name of its army).
