An independent New Vegas mod.

If possible and not too much work, I thought it would be a nice touch to have a short conversation....Once the player leaves the Vertibird will be seen landing on the pad and the pilot and co-pilot will exit the craft and walk around.

Yeah I think something like that. We can put a little trigger there near the door. The conversation won't be a problem. But I should mention that the actual landing of a vertibird is an animations, it's something we can't change without going into blender and we don't know exactly how long the player will stay in teh tower, so we don't know when to start the animation.

 

The way I see it is to have the animation fire off as soon as the conversation is done or right when the player exits the door. But if we do it when the player exits the door, the conversation could be minutes old or langer before s/he leaves. So probably best (due to timing) to have the animation start as soon as the radio convo is over.

 

 

Pretty much exactly as you described: High-end escorts for the Ultra-Luxe :smile: You'll find them hanging out in front of the bar, you chat with them, etc, etc.

Yeah I think that would add a nice atmosphere of class. Could be intersting too because the first time the player may not realize this cultured young lady is a paid escort....could make for some interesting dialog or humorous situations...especially if there is a "pimp" type character involved.

 

You know Lucia is a Limey, and we all know everything sounds better/more cultured with an English accent (well aas long as it's not cockney or something). Might see if she would voice some lines for the part.

I was thinking have the sound trigger once the conversation is over and once the player leaves the building spawn the vertibird out of sight and sinc the 2 once the Vertibird comes into sight with the player. The sound will catch the players attention and the will more likely too stay around too watch it land.

 

My friend got a mod from nexus, he calls it the hive and it has a Vertibird land for the player to enter and take them too a home, if the player doesn't enter it after a certain time or leaves the area it will take off. Although when he showed me it take off it clipped through the SINK building, I think you could contact the creator and see how they did it/work with them if they're still around.

 

I'm 90% sure this is the mod http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/40685//?

but I will ask my friend to confirm it.

I'm too tired too look dig through the thread if I remember correctly someone mentioned opening/cleaning up the Sierra Madre, if you decide too I think it would be best switch the holograms with real human NPCs and have a few hologram guards protecting important areas. They gave a great atmosphere for the DLC but will give the wrong one for an open one full of people.

I'd love to do in-engine mapping/modelling/storytelling, I like creating a model, knowing where it should fit in the world, and the purpose of it, and what it's going to do.

 

Hey brother, any luck on the ranger models?

Upon reading E.H. Gombrich's A Little History of The World, It occurs to me that the NCR's Mojave campaign is strikingly similar to the Romans, they took over towns for people to conscript and for resources, looking down on the people who live there, while treating them as serfs.(the NCR is more roman than the legion.)

Before it becomes a state I can see history repeating itself with much resistance in New Vegas and much anti ncr groups

(could make for some quest lines)

No, not really, there are very fundamental differences. Rome took territories by force, as the legion does. The NCR could have taken NV ages ago, but due to their democratic principals they did not. Rome would extract tribute from their subject kingdoms but the citizens of those subject kindgoms didn't have the rights of Roman citizens. When NV is annexed they become full citizens of the NCR, they get to cast their ballot for their representatives in the Senate and as president. The states of the NCR have full and equal status (2 senators I believe), Rome conquered many kingdoms but they were always subject nations and to the best of my recollection were never given senate seats.

 

anyway many, many differences in both philosophy and action.

Any fundemental change like this will cause fear and uncertainty, thus the riots in the end slide. From there it can get better or worse depending on NCR policies.

taking NV by force would have left them vulnerable to the legion

huh? who do you think has been fighting the legion? they were tasked by the treaty to protect in return for the dam and other resources. they *are* in the thick of it, right up to their necks, whether they had NV or not doesn't change that a bit, they are vulnerable. NV had no chance against the legion, or the NCR, that's why they needed an ally until house could acquire an actual army.

The only thing stopping the NCR from taking the dam by force was the Legion. Kimball and Oliver knew they could take the dam but would see heavy losses, and with the arrival of the legion they needed every man available too hold them back so they signed the treaty.

Nope, the NCR had already repaired and occupied the dam, as well as signed the NV treaty and are fighting with the BOS. 3 years later hte first legion move into the Mojave. They aren't even in the region yet. It's why there was a first battle of Hoover dam, because the NCR were occupying it and the Legion came in *after*

 

and with the arrival of the legion they needed every man available too hold them back so they signed the treaty.

Nope, signed years before, back before the battle began with teh BOS.

 

No they signed the treaty because they receive 95% of the water and electricity from Hoover which is badly needed by teh republic.
