Bobydoo69 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my request! *for those that dont care why or how skip to the end* My idea for a mod (sorry if its already been requested) is fallout's equivalent to mass effects biotics. Now if you are not a mass effect nerd like I am biotics are individuals who at some time during their development inside their mother they were exposed to a material in the mass effect universe called element zero. Element Zero is a unique material that has the ability to directly change the mass of any object, this ability is passed on to children exposed to the material. Now in Fallout we dont have Element Zero so obviously mass altering mind magic is not possible, HOWEVER we do have radiation. Now you are probably "thinking radiation cant give people powers it just kills you or melts your skin off." well your both right and wrong, too much radiation can kill you or on rare occasions turn you into a ghoul but I would like to turn your attention to my good friend Jason bright and his glowing palls. Glowing ghouls have gained the ability to radiate... uh radiation and even be able to project it in a sizable explosion that does more damage than just rad poisoning. This right here is proof that radiation is capable of giving you abilities that can be utilized in combat scenarios! and Jason Bright has proven you can obtain these powers while retaining your sanity! and because we dont get sick looking at Mr Bright, it can be hypothesized that he is able to monitor and even control the amount of radiation he emits! Now you may be thinking I dont wanna look like a glowing corpse tho! well me neither because no one wants to date a glowing corpse so my thought is it might be possible to gain the radiation abilities of a glowing ghoul (at a much weaker state) and without the ugliness (no offence Bright but you are ugly I dont care how clever your name is your just ugly) it could even be reasoned by saying some glowing ghouls gain their abilities before ghoulification sets in so they are able to retain most of their looks but at the cost of lesser powers because they have not been exposed to as much radiation as normal glowing ghouls. Basically I am pitching the idea of radiation powers not magic or mystical mind powers, just pure scientific radiation powers! also I realize that this will be very difficult without the modders tools and I am very much aware that if this ever happens it will only be after the tools and most likely FO3SE are released thank you for reading my post and if you read the entire thing well... +1 to you I guess?

Kikaimegami Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I may very well try some experiments with this after the GECK comes out, since my character is supposed to be a glowing one sort of like Bright, but all the playable ghoul solutions right now just aren't what I want and I'll probably make a custom race for it instead. Granted I'll be needing some extra crap for mine (he's a psyker.... actually, emulating biotics would be way closer to the skills he needs), but I can easily branch off another version that just adds the radiation skills if I can figure it out. Though I'd still think having the character be obviously on the road to ghoulification (even if they're in an indefinite limbo state) for a mod like what you're wanting would be better, like having some gnarly scarring on the skin textures here and there, but if I made something like that, I'd at least make that part optional. EDIT: This is, of course, added on to the pile of other crap I want to make :ermm: But I go stupidly all out making custom crap for my characters...

Bobydoo69 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 sounds like a cool characteras for the apearence I was thinking something like a proto ghoul with like sickly looking skin hair going grey and glowing eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoliteRaider Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Basically I am pitching the idea of radiation powers not magic or mystical mind powers, just pure scientific radiation powers! Mystical mind powers are lore-friendly in the Fallout 4 universe strangely enough. Every single Fallout game has had psychic characters with genuine abilities. Though radiation powers sound really cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had completely forgotten about thatI never played the original fallout games and if what I read was true that aspect of fallout was much more prevalent in the original games than it is in the new ones? shame if it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
