[WIP] Fallout 1 Remastered

[Deleted24818959User]

Fallout 1, A Post Nuclear Role-playing Game is a much beloved classic praised by all Fallout fans which appreciate the older games.

The ideas behind this mod were conceived by a desire of the project lead to create a rethought version of Fallout 1 that still keeps true to all of the Fallout 1 RPG mechanics and borrows all the good things from the later games (Think Fallout 2/NV), but is made on Fallout 4's Engine.

Now what exactly in the hell does this mod do?

Fallout 1 Remastered aims to remake the Fallout 1 worldspace into the fallout 4 engine using the Creation kit and custom made assets to

create an immersive enough world that can hold the candle up to the original, while offering a great roleplaying and FPS experience

The mod will bring back the RPG elements of the Classic games that are lacking in Fallout 4 [insert Bethesda rant], such as unique character playthroughs, (Big Guns, Unarmed, Speech) a bigger emphasis on S.P.E.C.I.A.L, (in this case levelling up will be more akin to the older fallout games), strength and skill requirement for various weapons and more ways to complete a quest than just running in guns blazing or sneaking around stuff.

How will you do it?Fully recreating the Fallout 1 worldspace inside Fallout 4 using the Creation kit, Blender, Substance painter and other great software to make a mode that any type of player can enjoy.

What about the massive map size of the older games?The way that the map size problem will be countered, is by implementing a grid map travel system like in the older Fallout games where you each little quadrant is it’s own custom worldspace, and all of the major areas like The Hub, L.A Boneyard and Necropolis will be roughly the size of a Bethesda DLC.

Check out our discord to see the development of the mod right here

 

See the Google doc and Trello to have an in depth view of all the new additions.

 

Now on to the gameplay mechanics that will be present in the mod:

WORLDSPACE:

As earlier stated, we will be using a classic grid map system as a method of fast travel in the over world to tackle the gigantic size of the map, but every major location (The hub, Necropolis, The L.A Boneyard etc) will have a proper worldspace like the ones the 3D fallout games. Each major World space will be typical Bethesda DLC size.

• Vault 15 will be much larger then the original, with more of a Bethesda dungeon feel to it.

 

• Junktown will have ruins outside the of the walls (Junktown was built out of city ruins).

 

• The Hub will be upscaled in size and quests and will act as a general "Hub" for the player.

 

• Necropolis and the L.A Boneyard will have a fallout 3 feel to it.

 

• Alot more city buildings in The Hub, Necropolis and The L.A Boneyard

 

• The Lost Hills Bunker's surface area will have guard towers, longer ranges of electric fences, an abandoned helicopter landing pad and a machine-gun nest.

 

• The Mariposa military base's exterior will have more defences erected and facilities that you would see at a military base, (barracks, ammo dumps, etc)

Good luck man

[Deleted24818959User]

Thanks man, I'm gonna need it.

 

But currently what I need the most are modders whom are willing to contribute with building various world spaces- (Junktown,Vault-15, Vault-13 etc.)

You can join the team on my discord

Since you listed it top of the list, I assume you're committed to a karma system, but I would encourage you to consider a faction reputation system instead, as what is good or bad can be very subjective.

For example, in FO4, killing a nonviolent synth would be considered bad by the Institute and Railroad, good by the Brotherhood of Steel, and neutral-ish by most other factions. Killing a bunch of hostiles (generally karma neutral in prior games) and then taking their stuff (generally karma negative in prior games) would be entirely subjective based on who you raided and who you're talking to. And so on.

faction reputation is a great system if it can be worked into an overhaul.

[Wunderbot]

The karma system has a special place in most of our hearts, but gruffy is right. If we put aside nostalgia, it was a pretty flawed system, because often things were too black-and-white so they could be forced into the karma system, and if a lot of morally grey options were presented instead, the karma system pretty much loses its purpose.

 

I'd gladly help out. My main skillset is textures and just general basics like helping transfer text, stats, etc. into the Fallout 4 GECK or xEdit.

[CobraRising]

Maybe i could help, but your Discord invite doesn't work.

[OlChorstBreech]

That would be amazing to see that happen, though I would help, I'm currently just learning how to mod myself. But it would be quite amazing to see this become a reality! I would probably be there to support you guys on your quest to make the Fallout 1 Remastered! :cool: :nuke:
