Iron Mountain Project

[JohnDoe0722]

Hey everyone I back! (Though you probably didn't notice my absence. Lol)

 

Anyway, in my absence I did some research on the Enclave and to my surprise I found something interesting, the Iron Mountain facility.

 

The only information on it is this:

"Iron Mountain is an area mentioned by the PoseidoNet terminal in Gecko's reactor #5. It is at least a portion of Enclave Main Comm., and is listed as "operational" by 2242." -Fallout Wiki

 

FW also gives a list of possible locations, seeing as it doesn't have a set location, so here they are:

"There are several such Iron Mountains in the United States; one is a short 9 mile walk to the northwest of Redding, fairly close to Arroyo and Navarro.

Another Iron Mountain, located in Utah, is a part of NORAD along with Cheyenne Mountain.

However, it is most likely that the location is a reference to the Report from Iron Mountain satirical book."

 

Now here's where I got a "kick in the head". (Lol I love puns)

Anyway, I thought this would be great for the Enclave Remnants

Originally they were heading East after the fall of the Western Enclave, but their Vertibird crashed before they reached their destination.

Now on that list, that I showed above, Utah has an Iron Mountain. They say it may be a hint at the book "The Report from Iron Mountain".

 

It says: "They met at an underground nuclear bunker called Iron Mountain"

This bunker seems to be located somewhere in Iron County, Utah.

Utah is East of Las Vegas.

 

 

My guess is that the Remnants were heading to this base to reconnect with other Enclave remnants but they didn't make it. So... Now I'll actually talk about the mod.

 

My idea is that someone make a mod that involves the Remnants asking for help to go check out the facility. (Still working on why they didn't do it themselves)

Basically it'll be like "Old World Blues" with an Enclave twist. It's a think tank for the Enclaves most intelligent scientists and computers (Possibly a TRUE A.I.)

They have testing grounds, labs, a small factory and a massive library. (not just computers and books, it holds relics, armor and weapon variants)

 

I'm trying to decide on who the main opposition would be:

-Mid Western BoS

-Western Bos

-Internal conflict (test subjects and experiments)

 

If it ends up being the BoS, you will be able to choose who you help. Which will vary on the choices you made back in Vegas.

 

Here are some ideas for new armor and armor remakes:

Enclave Armor

 

^^^^^

All of the previously made armor.

 

 

Why doesn't the Enclave have their own stealth suit or armor?

I mean they worked with Stealthboy units in both pre and post war.

Maybe do something like "The Legacy of X13-An Armor Overhaul" by EmeraldReign and remodel the X-13 stealth suit and add a helmet.

 

Also there's the Enclave Athena power armor, which was going to be in Van Buren, is one of the Enclaves most advanced defensive power armor. It had some sort of shielding technology, and it may be similar in design to the greek goddess of war, Athena, armor.

 

This is the best detailed picture I could find of her armor:

----NOTE THE IMAGE IS NOT MINE----

 

 

 

Weapons:

 

All previously made energy weapons (Laser, Pulse and Plasma)

 

All regular weapons, attachments included. Guns like Pew Pew, Wazer Wiffle, missing laser pistol do not need to be included...

 

I'd also like to have someone create the Motion sensor upgrade for the PipBoy that was used in Fallout 2.

 

 

Please let me know what you think! :D

If you have any ideas or are willing to help out let me know, ^_^

Really cool idea im making a mod that has BoS and enclave but its in florida would you like to make the enclave part by doing this change it a lil bit of course by putting it in florida and activate it when you find the enclave in the caverns (iron mt. test facility)

[JohnDoe0722]

While that sounds like fun. I myself have absolutely no skills in the modeling field, which is why I'm requesting someone else to do it.

I'll just be writing the story, character lines... etc.

Also it's a New Vegas quest which is on the West coast, so why would you set it in Florida??? (I'm just curious)

 

Anyway anyone willing to help me out? I'd really love to do this if possible. ^_^

[saw12]

why florida, because florida is a nice place with decent cities but also swamp land (i live in florida) im going for a weird creepy feeling and an awesome action mod all in 1 its going to be HUGE! and hopefully people will like it

[JohnDoe0722]

Ok, well thank you for the offer, but I'll have to decline.

I'm trying to set this quest as close to Vegas and FOU canon as I possibly can.

 

Thanks again.

 

Anyone else willing to help out? Whether it's giving ideas or taking on the project I'm all ears.

Please, give the Enclave a rest. They where cool villains in Fallout 2, but now they're becoming a cliche thanks to Fallout 3 (a game where the shouldn't even have existed). They where done perfectly in New Vegas! There shouldn't be huge surviving forces, there should just be small remnants.

 

If you do want to make a mod with the Enclave in it, make them a small remnant force trying to survive, not some huge "Evil" force trying to take over the world.

[JohnDoe0722]

For the mod I have in mind, it won't be a "huge 'Evil' force trying to take over the world."

If you had read what I posted you would know that this is a quest for the Remnants.

 

The only thing huge is that this is a think thank for the Enclave.

It's not a huge army gathering spot, just a bunch of scientists, robots and a few soldiers for security. (not including test subjects/prisoners)

 

Thanks for the comment though. :P

Bump, do to updated original post.

 

I tried editing just the title but couldn't figure out how, I even asked in the chatroom. (please don't lock this... :ohdear: )
