cadero2 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The Open Season quest is the way to achieve the "good" ending of the Nuka-World DLC, which is otherwise aimed at a very "evil" raider-like gameplay. The DLCs focus on "evil" gameplay may be why the "good" ending feels underdeveloped. With the exception of a lack of raider NPCs in Nuka-World USA, nothing really changes; the traders even continue to wear their ragged clothing and slave collars. You don't get any particular rewards for this either, like how the other ending gives you two perks of three available. I think a mod, "Open Season Enhanced", might make "good" gameplay a little more attractive in Nuka-World. I envision the initial mod with two parts. The first, is an invisible quest (no PIP-boy registration) that activates once you have handed in the Open Season quest (I imagine that you do that to Bridgeman in the Nuka-World Market, but I guess some might receive it from Preston), and has the single objective of leaving the area (Nuka-World Market). Once the player leaves the area, the quest script should change every trader NPCs outfit so that the slave collars are removed, and instead of ragged clothing, the have some other outfit, logically one of the Nuka-World themed outfits added in the DLC (lore-wise, once the raiders are gone, they could scavenge better clothes from souvenir stands). This makes the "good" ending more visible. I have thought about what outfits to give the different trader NPCs that would seem to fit their appearances. Code to remove collar in console: .removeItem 02029afa Aaron Corbett (+Western outfit, Cowboy hat) Lauren Plummer (+Cappy shirt & jeans) Mackenzie Bridgeman (+Radstag hide outfit) Maddox (+Nuka-World geyser jacket & jeans) Shelbie Chase (+Bottle and Cappy orange jacket & jeans, Operators glasses crf) Keith Dawkins (+Cappy jacket & jeans) Chip Morse (+Nuka-World jumpsuit) Trader (Nuka-World) (+Nuka-World (geyser) shirt & jeans) (every other no-name trader) Harvey (doesn't need new clothes) The second part, is a new perk, rewarded to players upon completing Open Season. This perk should be a useful perk by itself, like the three raider perks, but not overpowered, and should fit thematically to the ending. My suggestion would be a new perk "Manhunter", "Cleanser of Nuka-World" or "Redeemer of Nuka-World", which has the same SWF icon (PIP-boy icon) as the Open Season quest, and has the effekt of permanently reducing the damage from humans by 15% (like the Assassin's legendary armory effect) and reduce the DR and ER of human enemies by 25% (like what Longfellows companion perk does to animals and sea creatures). Greater defense against humans, and a better ability to hurt humans, would fit with a player character who has just eliminated three big raiders gangs. I can make up a design for a mod like this, but my knowledge of the scripting and modding necessary is incomplete, so I post this idea on the forum and see if anyone finds it interesting.

one2manysmiles Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Pretty neat idea. Here's hoping someone with actual modding skills and/or Bethesda get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one2manysmiles Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Whoops, should have posted my ideas with that. Anyway: 1: The traders/slaves were planning to overthrow the raiders, but were waiting for a heavy hitter to come along to spark the rebellion.2: Each boss has a personal slave, who had access to their plans b/c of reasons, and would become the player character's contact for the NW quests that the boss would have given.2a: Instead of going out and collaring raiders, just kill them. Boring, but hey.3: The new leaders would take over leadership of the various park areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
