TheAttendee Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Hey there! I'm a big Hunter S. Thompson fan and I have a few suggestions/ideas I'd like to share: - Instead of the Oscar Zeta Acosta character being named Dr. Gonzo, I suggest calling him Carl Lazlo Esquire, the "real-name" he was given in Where the Buffalo Roam. This would be a nice nod to the more knowledgeable fans. This also opens Dr. Gonzo as a character they can "use" to manipulate the player into helping them. - At some point you should enter a hotel room (in The Tops for example) and find it completely trashed with a giant spray-painted Z above the bed. Then later on you should enter a different hotel room (in the ultra-lux) and find that it's been flooded and trashed (just like in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey into the Heart of the American Dream.)- Though drugs are involved, keep in mind Hunter Thompson was not an addict or a junkie. Psychedelics were Mr. Thompson's forte, not narcotics. You should not portray him as strung-out or addled, as he was a man of the sixties, capable of holding his own (if you know what I mean ;) )- Thompson was a known firearm and explosives enthusiast, so he and his attorney should always be well armed. To the teeth.- Tell me about those goddamn golfshoes! - Savage Henry is a scag baron drug dealer who has cashed his check. Maybe a target (fiend?) for the player character to kill during the quest.- Try to keep it as true to the Fallout lore as possible! Add some Gonzo journalism to the wastes. Don't bring the wastes to Gonzo Journalism.- Expanding on the photography idea: Hunter Thompson was well known for not working well with people hired to work with him. You should definitely be "fired" by him at some point in the quest line. Also, I've acted as a Hunter Thompson-esque character in an independent film, and use his likeness every Halloween. I would love to help with the voice acting (and possibly more, I've dabbled with the GECK) when it comes to it. Contact me via PM if you want to talk this over further.

AveTruetoCaesar Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hey there! I'm a big Hunter S. Thompson fan and I have a few suggestions/ideas I'd like to share: - Instead of the Oscar Zeta Acosta character being named Dr. Gonzo, I suggest calling him Carl Lazlo Esquire, the "real-name" he was given in Where the Buffalo Roam. This would be a nice nod to the more knowledgeable fans. This also opens Dr. Gonzo as a character they can "use" to manipulate the player into helping them. Things is, I'd like to make this mod so that fans who have only seen/read Fear and Loathing can get it and enjoy it. - At some point you should enter a hotel room (in The Tops for example) and find it completely trashed with a giant spray-painted Z above the bed. Then later on you should enter a different hotel room (in the ultra-lux) and find that it's been flooded and trashed (just like in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey into the Heart of the American Dream.)Yes, I plan that. Those it will be reversed (Ultra-Luxe first, Tops second) - Though drugs are involved, keep in mind Hunter Thompson was not an addict or a junkie. Psychedelics were Mr. Thompson's forte, not narcotics. You should not portray him as strung-out or addled, as he was a man of the sixties, capable of holding his own (if you know what I mean ;) )Don't worry, I think I can handle his portrayal :thumbsup: - Thompson was a known firearm and explosives enthusiast, so he and his attorney should always be well armed. To the teeth.Actually, Hunter is going to get a unique .44 magnum called "...to the teeth!" - Savage Henry is a scag baron drug dealer who has cashed his check. Maybe a target (fiend?) for the player character to kill during the quest.I think I'd have trouble incorporating that into the story, thought I'm probably going to name the Omerta's debt collector Savage Henry. - Try to keep it as true to the Fallout lore as possible! Add some Gonzo journalism to the wastes. Don't bring the wastes to Gonzo Journalism.Oh don't you worry about that!- Expanding on the photography idea: Hunter Thompson was well known for not working well with people hired to work with him. You should definitely be "fired" by him at some point in the quest line.There's going to be a part of the quest where you accompany Raoul and Lacerda to McCarran. Lets just say Hunter fires him over something that involves 30 Fiends. Also, I've acted as a Hunter Thompson-esque character in an independent film, and use his likeness every Halloween. I would love to help with the voice acting (and possibly more, I've dabbled with the GECK) when it comes to it. Contact me via PM if you want to talk this over further.Alright, thanks for the offer. What kind of stuff have you done in the GECK though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcake Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Somebody needs to revive this project now! I remember being incredibly disappointed when I found out there was no Fear and Loathing references in New Vegas! Fear and Loathing is my favorite movie of all time, and I'd totally love to see Duke and Gonzo take it to the strip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means he would need nearly everything. I have less hope for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
