Project Valhalla

[veliv]

Now that we have official word out on the G.E.C.K. I think I should also start spreading word about:

 

Project Valhalla,

 

This will be a big mod for Fallout 3. When complete, the mod will feature a new faction, along with quests, weapons, armor and even a radio station. This is fanmade non-commercial project.

 

The Plot in short:

Northern European survivors have created their own nation there, called Valhalla. Since they lack the luxury of fusion technology, they have set up a expedition to America to basically steal the tech for themselves. Only one of the two ships that were sent on the voyage ever made to the American soil only to be met with heavy resistance. After days of intense fighting on the shoreline, the Valhalla troops managed to gain a foothold in the area and established a small base there.

 

Weakened and pinned down on the shore, Valhalla's troops were unable to sent squad's to scavenge the wasteland for fusion technology. This means that they must hire an outsider's to do their bidding on the mainland. Guess who that might be...

 

Current progress

Even without the CS, we have already made some decent progress on the mod. Our wiki contains a lot of information and new pages and ideas are added every day.

Valhalla Rifle, the sniper rifle which the Valhalla Troops will use, is already available as a standalone MOD. Also, instead of making 5 different versions of the same weapon, we have already gotten the permissions of some MOD authors, to use their great creations as part of Project Valhalla.

 

We could use your help!

Feel free to visit our wiki and take part in the ongoing discussion and brainstorming about Project Valhalla. You can affect the way this mod will turn out!

 

Even while everyone is welcome to help with the MOD, ATM we have a dire need for Concept artist to help us with visualizing the writings and ideas in the wiki.

 

Thanks for your time, although it was a wall of text.

we have a logo now.

 

A lot of updates in the last few days.

we named most of the NPC's that will play a role in the mod.

found here

 

* Colonel Leiv Vahalla Ground Force Commander, serves under overall expedition commander who is the captain on flagship Naglfar. Wounded during Supermutant attack on landing party and is in the Infirmary.

 

* Major Johan Sandels is Col. Leiv's executive officer and acting commander while the colonel recovers. He can be found in the HQ Bunker.

 

* Chief Engineer is Matti Nykänen, the senior naval officer and primary technician ashore. He can be found in the Barracks or on the Dock.

 

* Lieutenant Antti Koivula is the junior naval officer ashore. He oversees the Dock and supplies.

 

* Professor Svante Arrhenius is the senior scientist. He can be found in the Barracks.

 

* Professor Nils Dalén is the junior scientist. He can be found in the Barracks.

 

* Doctor Liisa Louhiala is the ship's surgeon, needed ashore more than on the Naglfar. She can be found in the Infirmary.

 

* Sergeant Major Andreas Larsen is the senior non-commissioned officer (NCO). He can be found in charge of the gate guards.

 

* Sergeant Samo Häyhä is the top scout/sniper of the expedition. He can be found either on the perimeter or atop the bow of the carrier. Occasionally he can be encountered on a foraging mission to or from Rivet City Marketplace.

 

* Other NPC's are generic enlisted rank soldiers or sailors. Two soldiers will be at the gate with the sergeant-major, one with a heavy weapon (i.e. minigun). More will be scattered about, a few equipped with sniper rifles atop the carrier bow. A sailor will be manning the radio in the HQ Bunker while another will be walking guard duty between the HQ Bunker and the Dock armed with a SMG.

 

We also made our own video intro, the WIP can be found here. teaser link

and figured out the script for the teaser

 

The American dream..

A dream of ultimate consumption and

the exploitation of all resources,

in the name of people and freedom,

but ultimately, in the name of money.

 

The dream inspired some greatest inventions

that man has ever made.

The flight, medicine and atomic power.

But what did they do with these marvels?

They harnessed power of them for the puprose of war.

 

As the world-wide conflict grew more fierce every passing day,

It all ended within a couple of hours,

when they rained hell down on earth,

hoping to wipe out their enemies

from the face of the planet.

 

But we survived..

And now we will take their knowledge

and use it not for war,

but for a better future of our children.

 

This is our mission and

it justifies all means!

 

Set sail.. for Vinland!

 

*Then splash the logo for project Valhalla at the end of it*

 

and we could still use YOUR help

 

Concept Artist

 

We have a dire need for Concept Artist to help us with visualizing the writings and ideas in the wiki.

 

If you think you have it in you, try making a better concept art for the bunker.

 

Voice Actors

 

We are looking for volunteers to be Voice actors. You should be from one of the countries that make up the Valhalla nation, i.e. Norway, Sweden or Finland but we will also accept other English speaking Northern Europeans to make up numbers if we fall short. Accented English is preferred to either the Queen's English, Commonwealth or American English. Sorry you native speakers but we want our voices to sound correct.

 

If you think you have it in you, try recording the script and uploading it here.

May I suggest an edit of the script, use what you like of it, if any:

They harnessed their power for the purpose of war.

 

As the world-wide conflict grew more fierce with every passing day,

It all ended within a few hours,

when hell rained down on earth,

in the name of conquest.

 

But we survived..

And now we will take their knowledge

and use it not for war,

but for a better future of our children.

 

This is our mission and

it justifies all means!

 

Set sail.. for Vinland!
