Ideas for Custom House Tower

The Custom House Tower is odd. There's only one room when you go inside, the doors are sealed shut, and if you peek through the walls using tcl all you see is nothing. Not to mention that the tower itself seems like a rush job with identical smashed windows and lack of detail.

 

It's really screaming to be fleshed out into a real place. The gore in the foyer seems to imply super-mutants inside but anything could be possible in a place that huge tower and the basement (for storing goods according to the wiki). Obviously it's up to the modder but here's some ideas I thought I'd throw out:

 

1) A settlement. The Commonwealth only has Diamond City and Goodneighbour as proper settlements with the others just being a family in a smashed house. Having another big settlement would allow a space for more quests, shops, etc.

 

2) A secret Institute watchtower that uses the top floors as an observation platform to keep an eye on the Commonwealth and look for runaway synths. It would mostly be filled with Gen 1 and 2's but could feature a courser or scientist or two.

 

3) Have super mutants inside but make them more than generic mooks, but a group you could talk to or have their own gimmick, like the super mutants on the west coast. (Like Black Mountain, Jacobstown, REPCONN test site, etc.)

 

4) The location for a unique quest, maybe related to the pre-war imports or exports that would still be in the building or pre-war corruption (like smuggling for Chinese communists).

 

Anyway, that's my piece. Hopefully someone gets an idea or two from this.
