Mod Request: A Commonwealth Christmas

[LordJaredSin]

So, it is Christmas Eve, Waking up today, I logged on to see what is new on the Nexus. As I looking through the mods and pictures, I get this idea for a quest mod. I know it is too late for this year, but it would give modders plenty of time for next year.

 

My idea centers around the either, the player in the role of one of Santa's helpers. Another scientist, after Virgil, tried to pick up where Virgil left off when he fled the Institute. He also suffered the same fate as Virgil, becoming a super mutant. And like Virgil, he has not regressed to his more baser personality traits.... mostly. This scientist, we'll call him Bob for now, saw his mutant transformation as a means of healing the Commonwealth between humans and mutants. Indeed, with enough help, peace could be had between all the factions and raiders as well. So, hearing of the lone wanderer's exploits, Santa Bob sends a request for the player's help.

 

 

I am unsure if anything can be ported over to FO4 for encounters, if not a few creatures/items should be made. Mutated Pig/Boar, Mutated Turkey (enlarged Rad Chicken could be used I guess), Rad Stag (Reindeer for Santa Bob), Mutated Mistletoe (I know other Fallout games have plant based creatures. maybe something could be ported for that as well). Tarberry candy canes (+5% sugar rush speed boost, +10 action points for 5 minutes), and the holidays wouldn't be complete without some tasty Nuka-Nog.

 

Quest 1:

Santa Bob realizes that he will need more than just the help of the player if joy has a chance to spread throughout the Commonwealth. As such, the first task Santa Bob has for the player is to recruit more helpers. Traveling merchants and settlement supply caravans will be the most effective way to begin. Recruit and outfit their Brahmin with festive holiday decorations. The player must show their honest intent to spread holiday cheer to at least 3 generic traveling merchants and 3 settlement supply caravans. Craft 20 Tarberry candy canes for each merchant and caravan to give away for free. The player informs them that they'll be further supplied with Holiday attire and supplies.

 

Quest 2:

Gather and craft mistletoe and jingle bell yoke wreaths for each brahmin. Craft and equip merchants and caravans with twinkling holiday lights and Christmas music with a mobile battery pack as a power source. Craft or buy Santa's Helpers costumes for each merchant and caravan. Return and outfit each merchant and caravan.

 

Quest 3:

Craft, deliver, and display nativity scenes, 1 to each major settlement (DC, Covenant, Bunker Hill, Goodneighbor), 1 to each faction (BoS, Minutemen, RR, Institute), any 1 raider, any 1 gunner, any 1 CoA, and any 1 mutant encampment. Some groups may not be so welcoming at first... do your best to spread the holiday cheer!

 

Quest 4:

Nothing brings people together like a great holiday feast to take your mind off the troubles of Commonwealth survival. Hunt and deliver Mutated Turkeys/Pig(Ham) to caravans for their dispersal to the settlements. Also deliver to major settlements as above. Bonus: deliver to factions and other groups as above.

 

Quest 5:

Santa Bob has all his preparations in order and is ready to spread his gift giving cheer throughout the commonwealth. Go with him to make sure his distribution of gifts go smoothly. Remember he is a mutant now, keeping him focused on his task is a priority. Defend His sleigh from all manor of trouble. Designing a sleigh to deliver his presents would be ideal especially with a winter weather mod. if no winter mod or sleigh, a cart will do to carry the holiday cheer.

 

Quest6:

After all his work, Santa Bob deserves a gift too. Gift Bob a cure for his FEV from Virgil.
