My idea pit

[Ragingbear]

I have a few ideas for some mods that I am planning on making in the near future. However, there are some things that I am just not good at making, nor do I have the time to do so. I hate sloppy or incomplete mods. My goals are to make mods that actually seem like they were official releases. So characters must be able to talk, equipment and people must seem appropriate to the genre and such. I have zero artistic ability, so I can't make or modify skins. I can't make talking mods properly, but I can offer my voice to those that would like a nice ghoul or supermutant voice (I can do a spot on Rock Biter from Neverending Story). My mod ideas that I plan on working on are as follows...

 

A "make your town" set up. This would be akin to things like the villa in Assasin's Creed 2, with the exception of making choices that would be either/or (you can have a Church of No Mutants or a Center for Mutant Tolerance, but not both.). Instead of buying all features, you would have to adventure to add people, certain features, and affect the final outcome of the mod. At the end, there would probably be an attack, or some sort of catastrophe that the abilities of the town would determine the ultimate outcome.

 

A "Tower Defense" set up. I am a fan of tower defense games. I think that with a bit of hard work, that you could make a relatively cool one that worked properly. Most of the problems would probably have to do with scripting and figuring out a few details of functionality. This would be a stand alone and would probably require you to enter a new area. Lag may also be an issue that would need to be worked on, but I already have some ideas as to how to address that.

 

A "Realism" mod. This would basically be an overhaul mod. The world of Fallout 3/NV is not realistic. After 200+ years, the world would be a very different place than depicted. I figured that I could bypass the "need" for nuclear winter and full irradiation if I could somehow switch the radiation system to a toxicity based system caused by the chemical warfare and byproducts of weapon use. Rad-Away would become Tox-Out or whatever. Mutants and ghouls could exist, but other things would have to change. Vaults would have visible areas of mass producing water/food/etc. They would probably be viewable as a window or ride (think of Half-Life 2 and the scene where you are on that rail towards the end). There would be less salvaging and more production of new equipment and such. Old buildings would probably be mere shell remnants while some military facilities would seem relatively in tact.What tech there is would be more in keeping with actual tech rather than this pseudo 50's sci-fi tech that is prevalent. This would be a massive project that would require a lot of work in order to see come to fruition and I would not be opposed to working on projects already using this type of concept. In any case, I would need and want a lot of help, as this would basically be a new game in a few hundred ways. I would also like to see more animals that really don't do anything like birds and ground critters. I believe that especially in NV that you should see snakes and such, when you don't.

 

A "fix" mod. I hate bugs and flaws. I hate invisible walls,bad pathing of characters,improperly placed items and other flaws that should have been addressed offically. I would be willing to work with anyone to make or update such a mod as I am sure that they already exist.

 

An underwear mod: I always hated that everyone wore the same type of underwear. Vault dwellers should be clean and well maintained while raiders should have rags and such. Outfits like the sexy sleepwear don't really make sense unless you are using it for aesthetic appeal or some project. I figured out a way around some of the issues. If we can make underwear a wearable object on characters that is not one of the already worn ones, perhaps using the glasses category if you can't make a new category altogether, then modders have already supplied the materials to spread a plethora of undies across wasteland.

Feedback, or direction to similar mods would always be appreciated.
