dragonpen61 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You have done some amazing work and your mod should be an awesome experience to play. I am Australian and have never been to the USA so I have little real idea what the city is like but I would like to know if you will have 'icons' of Vegas like:showgirlshigh rollersat least one 'Two Penny Towers' like establishment with Vegas glitzan 'Elvis impersonator' running a ministry for quick convenient marriagesa famous women attracting croonerhigh class escortsetc. Are you going to have any big Vegas land marks showing up just as the DC Wastelands has the Lincoln Memorial and such like? What about the Vegas copies of world famous landmarks that exists in the current Vegas? It would be cool to have a horse statue with the head broken off and lying on the ground in front of a Mafia stronghold. Anybody who has seen the Godfather would get the point. Wouldn't Vegas also give monetary value to casino chips as money? It could be an extra currency along with caps. Perhaps you already have this idea in mind.You could have a device that can exchange caps for chips or chips for caps perhaps with a small fee percentage taken. I would like to see a combination of vending machine and poker machine that takes casino chips. The device could have prizes of multiples of casino chips or caps but also useful items like rad-x, stimpacks or even items such as 'Los Vegas' souvenir baseball caps. It could make Vegas a bit more different from the DC Wastelands. Casinos and the Mafia deal in anything that will make a profit including 'legit' enterprises. A robot, based on a brain-bot, that is a walking casino advertisement and maybe even a gambling machine or dispenser of single complimentary chips, drinks and snacks. Vegas Cola vending machines as a local competitor to Nuka Cola. Vegas Cola to have different effects than Nuka Cola, perhaps part way between Nuka Cola and Nuka Cola Quantum. Future possibilities of organized crime?Triads (Chinese)Yakuza (Japanese)Turkish Arifs (based on Turkish organized crime in UK)other What about the G-men? A surviving group of these, like the Regulators in the DC Wastelands, could move around in prewar style hats and trench-coats (with body armour underneath) and with tommy-guns (enhanced?). They could also collect fingers in exchange for bounties and a new perk might gain one of good karma membership. Was there an FBI in the Fallout USA? A group of ghouls going around in worn dirty prewar tourist outfits perhaps trying to take photographs with cameras with out film. These ghouls are survivors of the A bombs but have become mad and endlessly seek autographs of famous Vegas entertainers long dead. They might exchange valuable information for autographs or 'good' fakes of the same. Hope these ideas help at least to develop good ideas. I would love to have your Vegas mod to have something of a glitzy greedy grand feel about it even if it is largely in ruins.

SpeedyB64 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Some good ideas there :thumbsup: I hope to recreate several landmarks such as the Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas sign and the Luxor (easy to model) and some other places. Most things related to the people and places is not planned out yet so there is lots of room to maneuver and come up with ideas. BTW I am Canadian and also have never been there ;) Google maps FTW!

antonkr Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 In area 51 i think you MUST make a smaller copy of liberty prime and make it a boss in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyB64 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 antonkr no offense but that would be unbearably tacky. Liberty prime is too recognizable, it was a one off project and there would not be a second mini one. This is similar to people using Enclave doors without a door frame or in odd places. Its always best to make something new and unique, I might use his skeleton and animations and make a new model based around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyB64 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 I still need a Vegas area heightmap to make the terrain. I'm still looking for something I can use for it but have had no luck. Worst case senario I will have to make it by hand. lil' project I really hope you're joking there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The project does seem a bit ambitious, but it also looks like things are coming together somewhat nicely. It really makes me wish I had some skills I could offer.

Skree000 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 well, its not a heighmap, but check this out from Nasa's page. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=37228 shows 25 years of urban development via Sattelite imagery of the Las Vegas area. Been there twice, its really hot there lol. (guess cos its in a desert and all).. *shrugs* iono if all the big casinos would exist in the Fallout world, im guessing variations on them would though...
