Undah Da Sea

Expanding upon the idea of exploring the oceans around Boston. Various ideas, not really a request, mostly just a "would be cool" thread.

 

Currently, there's almost dickall to do underwater. The goals of an underwater expansion mod should be

 

• Add more things to find and explore underwater
• Increase viability of underwater exploration via mobility, perks, equipment, etc
• Increase fun of underwater expansion by adding aquatic creatures, enemies, loot, weapons, etc.

 

Exploration

 

Underwater caves, sunken ships, deep sea research outposts inhabited by robots

 

Mobility

 

Modification of the Aqualad/Aquagirl perks to allow you to see better underwater, as well as fight unarmed or with melee weapons

 

You could obtain a diving suit, flippers, and a Scuba mask from the Boston Oceanological Society, as well as parts to Aquatic oriented Power Armor.

 

Power Armor could also be a major factor to aquatic exploration, with PA helmet mods to allow you to see underwater, modified Jetpacks to allow you to jump and fly underwater, and PA underwater melee attacks.

 

Weapons

 

A harpoon gun or crossbow would be the standard for aquatic combat.

A large Torpedo Launcher would provide heavy underwater firepower, acting like a missile launcher underwater, and shorter range Fat Man above the waves.

There could also be a new type of pistol that works underwater.

 

Enemies

 

Currently there are no aquatic enemies, apart from Mirelurks that you typically fight on land. Those mutant dolphins you see beached around the shores would make good underwater predators. Along with both carnivorous and passive fish.

 

Mutant Shark Men could be the underwater Deathclaw equivalent

I'd love some more underwater content.

 

It doesn't all have to be one mod though, even something that just adds some basic mobility options underwater would be great, even if there's not much currently under there. It would then mean that other mod authors could more easily create underwater content to go along with it.

I also really think a Jetpack for underwater power armor would be rad as hell

I have some post CK plans for adding an underwater town with an submarine port and much other awesome stuff. Everything surrounded by an underwater area to explore with some dungeons, that will at least partly be filled with air.

I officially love every word of this idea. :D

 

Looking forward to seeing what you make.
