jumpsteadeh Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 So with the announcement of Death Stranding, I accidentally speculated a great idea for a game. Whether or not it's what that game is, I don't know, but it would work pretty well in Fallout 4. So the main mechanic of the mod would be that when you die, you start back at Vault 111. BUT you're not the only survivor now. There is now an NPC, who is you, doing everything you did before you died. The world and quests also reset. Maybe some dialogue could be scrapped together from sound bites where you could give the other version of you commands at a certain point, maybe after building an item that would let you do it. The goal is to have "waves" of survivors doing different tasks to help fix the world as soon as possible. Maybe you have an initial wave who scavenge, craft, farm, and collect water - all necessary things for survival mode. Then later, you have some actually doing missions and stuff. I would think either you could, as a future NPC, set yourself to farm for a certain amount of time and go into a wait or sleep looking menu, and just program the future you to do that, or you could just command alternate you's, and they just drop dead after the correct amount of time. That way you could just spawn in, wait for a few days, then die, and now you have a blanks slate to give orders to, or to have as a follower. Imagine what could be accomplished if you can actually be in more than one place at a time? You have some survivors spread out across the wasteland to unlock settlements, some who team up to do quests, or even just villages full of survivors. Some custom behavior on the clones would be helpful, too, so that they could improvise a little, to react to changes in their run-through. Maybe just script them to check in to Sole Survivor Headquarters every once in a while and auto-equip themselves with the best gear. Have the crafting guild survivors put all their stuff in certain boxes, etc. Anyone's imagination captured by this who has the skills for it? My modding skills start at GIMP and end in Outfit Studio, so I'm no help, I just love this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
