3rdtryguy Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 In fact, I don't even feel comfortable revealing too much about it just yet.What I'd like to see is a vault that never opened, but in which things didn't go very well.Things needed: 1- A vault that never opened and is full of corpses.2- those bonepiles should be wearing headwraps and have long beards.3- The Overseer should be the last survivor4- the Overseer is a computer like Prez Eden.5- long dried bloodstains everywhere6- The place is without power. Completely. The reactor failed long, long ago.7- to get around you have to hook up a harness for a bunch of fusion batteries. You used this harness to get the Main door open and now you have to run around back & forth a lot to switch between getting the lights on, getting the interior doors opened, and getting the computers running. Otherwise you can try to see your way around with only your Pipboy's light. I envison having to make choices quite a bit, running back and forth to the battery pack to open doors found or fire up the computer network as needed or be able to see. It should make exploration a real expedition, yes? Is that even do-able? Can the space lighting be turned on & off like that? If not, then just make it dark by default and let our pip-boy lights be the only illumination. This by itself would make a nice modder's resource for a truly creepy setting.Can you imaging having to slink around in a nearly pitch black vault, occasionally hearing that thup-thup-thup noise of zombies running..somewhere nearby? Or the gurgling clicks of mirelurks? What I want is an empty place, though. Other modders can add ghouls or 'lurks or whatever as they see fit.What I have in mind is a lot worse... I'd also need a big book texture, kinda fancy-looking and very old. That can be separate from the rest of it. In fact, parchment scrolls would work even better. No, this idea has nothing to do with Cthulu or Dunwich. This is much sicker. This could really happen. It's pure evil as only the friendly folks at Vault-Tech could deliver it. I'm ashamed as a human being for having even thought of it, but it fits in the game all too perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostami Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Sorry if this sounds rude, but no one can do anything if we don't get the details of what you want.. this is not just simply asking for a new weapon and posting a pic, this needs more detailed info for anyone to really get involved. Don't worry, I doubt it can be worse then the killable kids mod >..> and we already have perks to drink human blood and eat human flesh... and we all know the raiders like to do inhuman torture, rape, and murder... I just can't see anything worse then all this... so to my point. SPIT IT OUT HE HE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r4y30n Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 There was an Oblivion mod that enabled lights in rooms to be turned on and off, I'm sure it's possible in FO3 as well. I also like the idea of toting around a power pack to get lights and doors working, but maybe you could allow the possibility of firing up a back up generator? In the vault specs listed in one of those vault tec terminals it mentioned backup power systems for a number of vaults. Then you could fire up the computer and ask him what went wrong and settle in for a bone-chilling tale of debauchery and violence told in the dead-pan of a half burnt-out computer...

3rdtryguy Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Very well, if you insist. Have you noticed that there are no Indians, Jews, or Muslims in the wasteland? Well, it seems to me that some of these people would have simply integrated into the vaults with everyone else, but being minorities were probably diluted away by breeding in the vaults over time.The muslims, however... they wouldn't have stood for this. No way, no how.They would have insisted upon having their own vaults.Everyone else would have probably insisted on it as well. It seems to me that Vault-Tech would have seen the wisdom of segregating them and making everybody happy, so to that end they made a handful of vaults just for them. It also seems to me that they wouldn't have bothered if it didn't give them a perfect opportunity to conduct a fun little experiment. The overseer had to be above the influence of religion, rhetoric and riot, so a computer was used in the place of a person.What wrecked this vault?Religion, rhetoric & riot, of course. Here's a little background bit from real life:Several years ago, a master forger named Mark Hoffman tried to extort millions from the Mormon Church by claiming to have found the original first 116 pages of the Book of Mormon, which had been stolen. He had forged these pages, but wrote them to be as blasphemous and bizarre and he could imagine in an attempt to make them as embarassing and disruptive as possible. This was to ensure that the Church would shell out big bucks to keep it under wraps. This fun little plan fell was a complete failure and he wound up going on a crazed spree in an attempt to cover his tracks, and now he rots in prison. However, he actually managed to do some real damage anyway, and even today most folks have some mighty strange ideas about Mormons which are based on complete fabrications by this guy. So, then, I figured, since now Vault-Tech has all the Muslims in a vault, what would they do to them?Well, here's my idea: The people of this vault are led to believe that they were chosen for the fact that they were deemed to be among the most righteous of muslims, for their vault has a sacred purpose well beyond the preservation of a few people. This vault also houses a most holy relic, the original Koran! Yes, THE original, written by Mohammed's own hand! What an honor for those selected to share the same vault as the very start of Islam itself!"Don't dare read it, though'" they are warned. Only those truly worthy can dare to even gaze upon it, and it is death to touch it.Of course, it isn't exactly kept in a very secure location, so naturally someone is bound to read it... As you probably guessed by now, this Koran is only a forgery, and it sure doesn't jive with the one that the vault dwellers know. With the vault subjects chosen for their views, which are about 50% staunch fundamentalist & 50% progressive, a little mini-jihad breaks out in the vault and doesn't stop until nearly everyone is dead.A few years later the reactor failed due to lack of maintenance, finishing off any survivors.

lostami Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yawn, and he said this was " twisted, sick, and possibly offensive" this was not that big a deal.. ya sounds fine to me, not even as bad as the killable kids mod >..> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orcalink Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 agreed this is only really outrageous if there are any especially touchy religious ppl on board . it sounds like an okay idea but well kinda good for the story but then wat do u get in there? u wander around a tin can filled with corpses, a crazy book and a computer saying what actually happened. i mean i get why he didnt wanna tell us about it . not much point going in there now . xept maybe to have a look at the "outrageous" koran. 2bh theres no reference to real religion as far as i am aware in the game anyway . closest u got is saint monica's church in rivet where they talk about god but i heard no reference to christ or jesus or rele ne1 . well xept saint monica soo ... maybe this is best just left untouched . i mean i dont rele see the point of dragging it all into the game . i mean end of the day all you'll do is piss some ppl off and secularize others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azron Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I thought that it was gonna be the computer that was responsible and it was one of those vault tech experiments, I was moslty right. I'm a christian and I have no problem with this idea, in fact I fully support it and it's social commentary about how people should watch out for these kinds of "false prophets". the main reason why so many people fear religion as dangerous is for the exact reason of people who claim to follow teachings of love and tolerance, but are some of the most hateful and intolerant people out there, I hope your mod conveys that part of the message too, maybe even have someone who miraculously survived, literally, not only physically, but also mentally AND with their faith intact, so if you have the dialogue of saying that it's a miracle that someone survived this, they would say something along the lines of "in the truest sense of the word" to me Fallout isn't just about having the sickest the world has to offer, but also having some of the kindest, that's what makes a good, realistic series, some people just go too gritty or too nice in games and media, but the capacity for both is what makes the world what it is, and what made the Fallout games so engaging. but it's your mod after all, so you can put in whatever you like to.
