New Vegas Assaultron Mod

CrusaderTheFirst · July 30, 2017

You know those ladybots from fallout 4? There should be a mod to allow them to be an enemy in new vegas. Why? I felt like they should be in fallout new vegas mostly because the other robots are in new vegas so why not have the assaultron too? Plus they're fun to fight. Since the new vegas engine is totally different from fallout 4's, there needs to be changes and work arounds. They'll either need custom animations or they'll need to use human animations. As for the head laser, I don't think it's possible to put in new vegas unless you're a mod programming expert. If it's not possible, then the assaultrons should have high DT, health, or do more damage with their hands than their fallout 4 counterparts to even things out a bit. Lastly, I think they're best located in areas where robots are and would be in old world blues and lonesome road.

And arguably because they are made by RobCo (ie Robert House)

You can move the projectile node around in an animation if you need it to fire from the head.

It'd be cool if it happened but you'd need someone to recreate teh mesh out of whole cloth or existing FONV assets and you'd need someone for teh animations to keep the unique fighting style of the bot. For the latter I bet Mindboggles could do it.

@CrusaderTheFirst, It is completely possible to do in FONV. Custom made creatures can have multiple projectile nodes with various weapons either embedded or playable, they can also engage in hand to hand combat. It requires a good quality mesh and texture for starters then a custom skeleton / ragdoll and a lot of animations to be created. I can do all of this but it's very unlikely with all the Frontier work I'm doing ATM, when that's done I have a lot of my own creatures and mods to work on as well as other projects so I really can't see myself getting the time.
