"The Postman" Conversion Mod

[magus57]

This mod would completely change the main story and sidequests to make them applicable to the main story/theme of the book "The Postman." Yes, the book is set in Oregon, but somebody could improvise by changing some character and location names and making it an alternate story set in DC.

 

I mean, the mailboxes are already there, which could be places to collect old mail, and although most of the quests would comprise of delivery missions, there would be no fast-travel option, so you'd actually have to get through all of the enemies (which would be raiders like in the book) just to get from town to town, and there would be some high-profile mail or packages from time to time, in which case you also had the option to just open it up and claim the contents for yourself (for bad karma of course).

 

In addition, there would be much less weapons (mainly less firearms and ammo), so charisma and intelligence could often be used to get out of nasty situations, or being able to offer something in return for a peaceful passage. So only certain raiders would be completely aggressive instantly, while most others would only pay attention to you if you were carrying something valuable.

 

Anybody else think this would be a cool mod? Obviously, it would take a lot of work and time, but so many resources are already there, so most of it would comprise of just renaming or rewriting current stuff.

Hell, why stop there! You could add MORE Mad Max stuff!

If/when the CS is released I plan on working on an entire new area with it's own storyline that you can finish. Why overhaul and change the main story? Just make a new area (ie Oregon) and do the story there.
