Total Conversion Mod - Patrol Commander

[Kaos1973]

Hi,

 

I have been modding FO3 and FONV since they came out to a small degree but I have become rather bored of the vanilla quests. I have been toying with idea of creating a kind of game that uses the same mechanics as NV but stripping it back to a bare bones sandbox tactical RPG.

 

CONCEPT: You are a member of a team operating in the bad lands. You start off as the basic grunt completing missions to get loot, experience, and team promotion. Promotion to Second in Command (2IC) allows for a single follower, to Patrol Commander allows 3 followers.

 

The team operate out of a small patrol base in the middle of no where with a small garrison of troops for local defense, patrolling and fire support. The surrounding bandit country randomly spawns encounters that the player has to deal with either directly if able to or use the garrison Ready Reaction Force (8 strong) and or indirect fire support.

 

There would be a local village or two that the team must capture the "Hearts and Minds" of by treating sick and wounded, removing threats etc (quests). As well as enemy base camps and cave/bunker complexes to recon and neutralize.

 

I envisage enemy bosses and sub bosses with various high value loot and intelligence items (such as hide out and cache locations as well as the identity local informers).

 

The way I see the game being played is that the player must carefully select his load out and the right follower(s) (and their load out) to achieve the mission objectives in the most efficient manner available. Therefore I see hardcore mode being an important part of the gameplay but not mandatory.

 

Encounters should be leveled so as to present a varied challenge some will be "was that it" (2-4 man party), others "OMG, I hope to god they don't see me!" (over 30)

 

I want this to be a basic game focusing on tactical dominance of a focal area using detailed management of scarce resources creating an infinitely playable experience.

 

NOTES: The scenario could be as a team of NCR rangers operating on the Western side of Hoover dam deep inside Legion territory with no support what so ever - If staying within FO lore

 

Or as a completely different game based on SF operations in Afghanistan for example.

 

WHAT I GOT: I have a fair working knowledge of GECK, Gimp and Nifskope - sufficient to modify weapon and armor models, retexture them and implement them into the game. Create NPCs and other basic functions.

 

REQUIREMENTS:

1. Someone to assist in making/hacking a new world area, with an appropriate starting location (I can provide a sketch of the sort of campsite in mind)

2. Creating random encounter system for the new world,

3. Assisting with the quests,

 

Thanks
