masternetra Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) I thought it would be awesome to be able to play as a Mirelurk. I dunno if anyone would be able to somehow translate the creature stuff into a race. If someone could do that, I could take it from their if they didn't want to go past that with the work. As a race I was think very high rad resistance so they can swim in water with only +1 rad accumulation and they lose rads over time. Breath time in minutes instead of 10 seconds. 5-10 min maybe. Non-Territorial animals won't mess with you from the start. Other Mirelurks are question sense on one hand they are territorial, but not sure if this would really extent to mirelurks from over groups. Would probably make them as allies sense you would probably have fewer friends as a mirelurk anyway. Probably have a -50 disposition with other races and most factions not essential to main quest would probably be enemies. The Foreseen Problems. Of course there is that issue of the pipboy and weapon and armor equips. It would seem the only sensible Mirelurk to play as would be a adjusted Mirelurk King. And of course your "dad" would be a Mirelurk King too. (The mother apparently was into bestiality it would seem XD) Possible RP: Your a evolved Mirelurk King (either newly risen from natural selection or perhaps a genetic experiment or perhaps your just the offspring of a Genetically enhanced Mirelurk King?), more intelligent and capable of human speech. And while your highly resistant to Radiation and rad dissipates over time, Can hold you breath much longer, and move amongst other mirelurks (still seen as kin by them). Your ability to communicate is still a bit less then that of a human (-10 to speech, -10 Barter, -2 to charisma). Side note I find it odd that the Mirelurk Faction is ally and friend with many other creature factions despite them supposedly being territorial. A mod could change that I suppose but for race a race specific faction would be made with the proper adjustments so that it wouldn't conflict with any other mod that mods the MirelurkFaction.

masternetra Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Cool idea! Yea if only if it were to be pulled off. Though a correction, you would have water breathing sense the mobs certainly do, as I think they have gills. The rads would probably be what will limit your time in the water. Note: Picturing a Mirelurk King in casual pre-war clothing. Amusing, a Mirelurk Hunter would be more amusing but clearly have limitations sadly.
