davidlheppner Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 This is what should happen with Bigtown after you help them against the super mutants. YES I agree completely either Big Town or one of the empty vaults would be perfect for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlheppner Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 So has anyone started this at all or will G.E.C.K. be required before any work can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Penguin Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Actually, a very good idea for a mod. The only major obstacle I can see is conflicts with other mods, it'd take up a fair chunk of the world space. Everything else I could think of has already been posted...

asonofashadow Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I believe you yeah create a whole town with just using the console alone right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexySergio Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 So has anyone started this at all or will G.E.C.K. be required before any work can be done? It should be an all-GECK affair. I'm holding my breath for next month so I can finally get started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khet Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I was thinking about this the other day at work and thought it would be pretty cool. I'm not a modder at all, so basically I just supply the main idea and I'd need a team of people to do pretty much all of the actual work.SNIP! I made a mod very similar to this for Oblivion. Once the GECK is released, I also plan on 'converting' my mod into Fallout 3. I'm not a modder at all, so basically I just supply the main idea and I'd need a team of people to do pretty much all of the actual work. And that's the point where I knew this mod would be one of the following(a) - Impossible without a highly skilled team with no life for several years [check](b) - Copy of another game [empty]© - Something that looks good on paper, but isn't [check] Guess how many check out? 2. Your idea sounds good on paper, but in reality it would require hundreds of hours of work to properly script with the free-roam idea. Secondly, models. While you could use the default models, they are often limited in many ways. Thirdly, very few would enjoy spending hours finding materials. Hell, not many would enjoy doing the work in your idea. Games aren't supposed to be a job on minimum wage. I'm sorry but you're wrong. I've completely built Evanore Island all on my own. Everything from the landscape, to interiors, to quests, to scripts. Sure, there are no custom models yet, but I will be adding 'stages' of construction for each building. There will also be many custom meshes by the time V1.0 is done. How long did it take? About a month. It's really not as hard as you think it would be. Heck, most of it is just redundant work for each building and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxAbyss Posted December 3, 2008 Author Share Posted December 3, 2008 Haven't checked this topic in a while, good to see that people are planning on making something like this when the GECK comes out. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I feel the use of an existing vault would be a pretty good idea. Quests to go off and find various people who are knowledgeable on maintaining high tech equipment etc. Perhaps ending with another faction comparable to BOS :! I felt the vault as they are now are such a waste - If I were a waste lander and found a vault - I'd be definitely looking to live there it feels like they kinda just couldn't be bothered and roughed them up with virtually nothing inside for something to do.

Riain Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I love this idea. Actually, before I read this thread I was thinking that it would be cool if you could create your own town, but I do not have the time to do such a large mod. Hope this works out and doesn't just die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
