Looking for a suggestion on a mod feature

[SameOldBard]

So, I am working on an update on my mod, which is a mod which helps the players to get unique items, PAs, magazines, bobbleheads and etc.

 

(If you are curious the link for the mod is at my signature)

 

I am currently adding unique weapons to this update. The issue is that some weapons can be found at the Prydwen. The issue is that I cannot create a marker there, as it would be in the middle of the sky and a spoiler.

 

So, what I can do is to only show the marker and objective once the player has completed a specific quest. For example. As soon as Reunions is completed and the prydwen is at the commonwealth, I can enable the objectives to buy things in there.

 

So. The issues I have:

 

If I don't show anything to the player before the Prydwen arrives, he might not know that there is a weapon missing. But if I am to show him something, I need to place a marker in the map. It would be quite weird to have a marker at the airport pointing to nothing.

 

For the Institute it is a bit worse. Where could I place it? What I can do is to write all about it at the mod's page. But the player is most likely going to ignore it.

 

So this is where the suggestion might be helpful. Anyone got any?

 

I thought about creating a board in the middle of nowhere with "Go to the Institute!", or "Complete Reunions". But that would be a bit absurd.

 

Thanks for any suggestion which might come.

Have two quest objectives.

 

One with the Referencealias pointing to Boston Airport Ruins map marker (or whatever) with condition GlobalVariable BoSPrydwenArrived = 0

 

One with the Referencealias pointing to whatever on the Prydwen triggers your object with condition GlobalVariable BoSPrydwenArrived = 1

 

Then they will switch automatically in context.

That's kinda what I did SKK50.

 

I have 2 objectives. I think it is a bit weird to point to Boston Airport, but that's how I did for one item in my first version.

 

The issue becomes really bad when the Institute is involved. Where should I put the first one? To the Cambridge area? To the currently incompleted main quest? To the hidden entrance to the institute?

 

I think that one way or another it will be a bit weird for the player. But I can't find a good option.

 

Do you have a good suggestion for the Institute marker? On my previous version, as there is a magazine in the institute, it is currently pointing to a bush that is kinda close to the Institute. =/
