Any talented modders out there interested in picking this idea up?

This idea for a mod came to me the other day, but I know nothing about modding. It fits fairly well into the Fallout universe and could be considered "lore friendly." If some one did do this, I don't really need any recognition anything (although some would be nice). I just want to play a great mod. Feel free to alter it as you see fit. Is a bit of a long read too.

 

Here is my idea.

Two words, Time Travel. Now bear with me for a second. The Sole Survivor is wandering around the Commonwealth when he gets a radio signal from some scientist looking for help. When he/she gets there, they do a couple quests helping the scientist to gather parts and resources for his/her new teleporter. The scientist was also actually a member of the institute, the one who originally developed the teleporters they used (currently a ghoul).

The scientist wanted to continue improving the teleporter and was aiming to become the leader of the institute but someone else developed synths and his/her project was dropped and he/she lost the chance to become the leader. So the scientist left the institute to continue their research alone. After all these years the Sole Survivor helps the scientist finish the teleporter and they get to be the first ones to try it (maybe the first ones).

So they try to teleport, and are forced to leave almost all of their equipment except a special vault suit (or something like that) and their pip boy (which will have an upgrade allowing them to be teleported). However something goes wrong and instead they go back in time. To where you ask? Why to Colonial America, in approximately 1775-1783.

From here it could branch off into three different directions (not sure which would be better). Option 1: the Sole Survivor could accidentally kill someone important to history (ex. George Washington) and is forced to take the deceased's place to fix history. The Sole Survivor could return to his/her time because they had a portrait taken and the scientist saw the portrait, realized what went wrong, and locks back onto their signal to pull them back.

Option 2: It could break off into a faction war like the base game, where the factions are the Native Americans, Revolutionaries, and the Red Coats. This would have to go with the theory where it would break into an alternate time line, but the Sole Survivor could return to his/her separate dimension after fixing their pip boy (kinda like DBZ).

Option 3: There was another, previous test subject for the teleporter and they also went back in time (or it could be the scientist who got pulled along as well, only they went back a few years earlier). This other time traveler would become the main antagonist. In order to return to his/her time, the Sole Survivor would have to obtain the device the other time traveler has to the normal time.

These are the ideas I had. Since it would still be in the Boston area, some of the same monuments and buildings would be there, which would be interesting. It would add colonial weapons and armor, new animals, settlements, and all sorts of cool stuff. I had this idea from a combination of a few things, as well as an epiphany. I would like to actually submit this to Bethesda, but that is pretty much impossible. So I am trying to find a very capable mod creator to make it real. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. This is too good to let slip by. Thanks.

It would be a monumental task to replace the entire wasteland. Time travel would be a lot more doable if it only involved pre war sanctuary or one cell outside the border on the fringe of the map. It might be possible to make pre war sanctuary pre civil war sanctuary but even that would be a huge effort. The story would have to be well written for anyone to pick it up.

Alexander Velicky had an interesting mod in Fallout New Vegas called D.E.I.M.O.S which involved time travel from the present to the past and back again. This was all accomplished within the confines of a pre-war bunker experimenting with time travel. It was a well-made mod.

 

Young Alexander Velicky went on to create an extraordinary Skyrim mod called Falskaar.

DEIMOS is fantastic. Much smaller in scope than Falskaar, but I think I like it better overall.
