VaultPi Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 should we include the house of pain, (Not the Irish Rap band that changed their name to Everlast, but the original version of room 101 from 1984) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something along the lines of the VR pods with scenarios to teach you to behave correctly, and if you fail you get nasty nasty pain, if you succeed you get a treat! Just toss in some cheesy voice (thinking like gameshow host/Yes Man) to guide you through it/ask the questions, and you've got pure FO gold!

devinpatterson Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) But are the necessarily silly? Not in my opinion, I mean after all how silly are Lakelurks or the intelligent Deathclaws...or centaurs? With all thier experiments in FO universe it is totally understandable and reasonable....besides doing it with raccoons gives I'm very much of the same mind most people try to kill them. "Look at that freaky crittter it's using tools and talkin'! Kill it quick!", would be the most likely reaction of most people considering the reaction to the other not human intelligences running around supermutants and ghouls. Yeah, that's a major theme in the document, a big part of the mods story line for sure. See I see them as far more a "Secret of Nimh" touch....they would be like the rats of Nimh highly intelligent and very paraniod of the humans while having a somtimes very bloody ccnflict over how to deal with humans or to separate themselves entirely. That's kind of how I picture it as well, a grim tale As to Moreaus (term used for hybrid human/animal or purposely changed to humanoid animals in many games, some post apoc) I can agree that they would be a very nice touch perhaps in and around a very terrain isolated Vault where they were created by the experiment. Or back in the glow.....where the lab animals originated. purhaps kept on hier own island? It did mention them being very isolated, don't see why an island wouldn't be a good local. If you include Moreaus of course you include the "House of Pain".....G.O.A.T. Good idea, especially with re: to G.O.A.T. It was a major area of research due to the constant subterfuge of Chinese and American agents. And I think the glow might (havn't checked) be a good place to house that research and the surviving members. Maybe even some lore that is carried back by the lab animals in teh mojave, alluding to the "animal men" should we include the house of pain, (Not the Irish Rap band that changed their name to Everlast, but the original version of room 101 from 1984) Been a while since I read 1984, so I scanned over that chp and it seems like a excellent fit with the G.O.A.T and conditioning.

VaultPi Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 well I call it the original room 101 torture/brainwashing zone, because Wells came up with some 50 years before Orwell, though Orwell also created the excellent Animal Farm which would be a must for animal based civ shout out. another bit I though of would be something along the lines of A clockwork orange and cause certain damaing and disabling effects to occur if you get exposed to the same background music as in the brainwash zone, (say on one of the many radio stations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You are performing an unauthorized violent action, you will now be corrected. *click* (insert public domain song)" *sound of nearby Moreaus (or unlucky player if you got put through the process) screaming in terror/pain* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devinpatterson Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Simone00 is letting me use his skunk race for the mutant/genetically engineered racoon race. A little re-texture, scaling and some exaggerations/edits of the snout, ears and tail should fit the bill. Here is a pic of Simone00's mod; http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/images/45351-2-1331358317.jpg I'm thinking now we need to throw in some dogs and a few chimps...maybe some rats and we'd have a decent population of animal guinea pig survivors for the story.

greenknightfury Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Awesome! Chimps might be real easy if you aren't worried about them being Planet of the Apes style...since Beyond Boulder Dome already whipped some up, you could ask them if you could use them (they had both normal looking and armored variants, would have to cover the surgically enhanced brain...or not *grins*, they might enjoy the idea of a tying of the two projects to create human-intellect level animals).

I did try contacting the artist that created them for Boulder asking for permission, but alas no response. I'll probably have to make them myself. I tried once before and teh body was pretty easy, but the face/head didn't turn out very well :( But I do strongly think the glow would have primates to experiment on, even though it wasn't in teh orginal burrows document....and dogs.

darkus37 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hey, just wanted to suggest combining this with the OZ mod. The tribal animals could be evolved racoons, and could be jury-rigged further from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children are probably the only humans the animals would/could trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
