A fallout type TC

[MyDogsTale]

Ok, iv'e been thinking about this for a long time and iv'e decided to post my idea.

 

Have you ever played the game Fallout? Or seen the movie Eqilibrium? well these are the two things i base my ideas upon.

 

Ok.

 

Setting: between the year 2050 and 2100. The world enterd a world war III because of lack of resources and released their nuclear arsenal , the prime participants were USA, China, Russia and The European Union...

In the end China, Russia and The Eu allied against the USA and invaded them, the result was a nuclear war.

When you enter the game the war has been over for 15 years and the surviving people are starting to rebuild certain areas.

The TC takes place in the united states...im thinking of either New York and the surrounding area, or California and the surrounding areas.

 

Now there's allways the question of borders; so your'e in New york but you can't go any further than that, why? Answer: the surrounding areas are too radioactive to enter, there is no way that you can walk into them without dying (insta kill script would take car of that).

 

Races:

Alien (Chinese, Russian, EU)

 

Those of the soldiers that survived the Nuclear blasts settled down in some areas

 

Homegrown (USA)

Goes without saying that these are the native people of the country.

 

Tribal (USA people that did'nt establish contact with the other cities after the blast, they entered a long forgotten way of life with a Hunter/Gatherer society)

 

Mutants

Survivers of the blast that sufferd the effects of radiation, they have their own communities, they are a dying people since they cannot reproduce)

 

Settlements:

in the surrounding areas of the cities new settlements started to show up, some are criminal cities basing their society upon selling slaves, gambling, prostitution and drug export, in other words Anarchy gone wrong. Other cities have societies based upon martial law, legitimate trade etc etc.

 

Weapons:

Standard, ancient and advanced weapons ranging from a simple a sword to an energy sword (not unlike the light saber seen in Star Wars) Flint guns to Ak47's (iv'e read about gun mods so it should be managable), Iron Shields to energy shields, Leather armor to energy armor etc etc.

 

Im also aiming for realism:

If you get a shot in the head then you're dead, unless you have a good sturdy helmet (this is just an idea, i know how insanly irritating it is to be a one shot, one kill victim).

 

If you are a strong character and you wield a sword then you might cut the other guys arm off.

 

If you are a mean character you can take slaves and sell them, or just use them as pack animals.

 

Cars (if possible to make) would be a nice edition, allthough a car would nearly be impossible to get.

 

Money is rare and equipment is expensive, money does'nt exist anymore, trading furs and such is now the dominant way (except for some major cities).

 

Pain:

of course new meshes would be needed, allmost everything must be modeled from scratch, so this would probably be a huge project :wacko: .

 

And one more thing: i have absolutley no skills in the CS, apart from placing a few things out and stuff. I can't create a web page, or draw concept art...thus i am probably useless

If high interest of this TC developes then i could be a writer or a PR if i would take part in such a project...but anybody may fel free to use this idea themselves (doubt anybody will tho...)

 

So now is the time, anybody interested/think it may be doable? :)

 

And feel free to post new ideas of things that you think should be implemented if such a TC should be made

yo, interested yeah, i am a concept artist. sounds pretty cool and with much potential looking at it from my point of view. if you need me.....just say so, i have plenty of time on my hands

[Arrow_Diet]

Minus scripting and modelling, I think I can help out some... <_< It's SOUNDS interesting, and a lot of work though.... I think my e-mail is on my profile, if you wanna talk to me more about it.

[MyDogsTale]

wow, somebody is actually interested :blink: .

well, it's fun to see that someone actually liked my idea, but 3 persons on the team for such a huge mod? well, that would lead us to 18 years of modding before we could reach a finished product.

 

I could put up a topic on the official forums, and IF there was enough interest in the project then i would start writing quests and such :).

But don't have too high expectations ;) .

 

There are alot of mods beeing made, and modern TC's for morrowind has a tendency to die...all too quickly :/ .

But, i'll check around and post here it the project is started.

[_it_]

iam interested as a tester and willing to learn

 

 

and maybe i can make some .tga files with corel draw

 

do i need blood moon or tribunal ?

[MyDogsTale]

Well, i guess this is a dead idea. (not much of a respone at the official forums)

For those who showed some interest, Thank you :).

 

Now, Could a mod please lock this one?

[Peregrine]

As you wish.
