hildewulf Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm playing an Apache character, and I'm having the hardest time finding appropriate things to wear. Although the Nexus is full of cowboy gear, there isn't much for us Indians. There was a "Last Apache" mod that was worked on a couple of years ago, but the mod authors disappeared and the mod itself contains some fatal crash bugs and is incompatible with the latest version of NVSE, so it's of no use. Really too bad... it looked like a fantastic mod concept. Anyway, I'd love a mod that added some American Indian-inspired gear to the game. The closest I've found so far is the Medicine Stick from GRA (cool) and Waking Cloud's headdress from Honest Hearts (gooftastic). Just a cowboy hat with an eagle feather in it and maybe a tomahawk would go a long way toward making me a happy camper. Unfortunately, I lack the skills to create such things myself. I do find it surprising that Bethesda didn't put more Indian stuff into the game, tbh, considering the setting. If anyone has suggestions for mods that contain bits that might be adapted to an American Indian character, I'd be grateful for those as well. Thank you!

dangman4ever Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The tomahawk is already in the game via the Honest Hearts DLC. As for the cowboy hat with an eagle feather, can't help you there. Though you should be specific to which Native American item you're looking for as there were tons of different Native American tribes and not all of them had similar outfits and such.Though from one perspective, a lot of the Honest Hearts armors and outfits did have that Native American vibe.

Brigand231 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing items with a Paiute flavor in the game at all. Though the only birds I've seen in game are ravens, I'd sill like to see feathered hats too, especially if they work well without replacing hair.

ChaplainOrion Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've been wanting to do something like that for a while. I got this game and I hope to start learning texturing 3d modelling and such. One of the first things I'd like to do is a Ntive American themed faction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hildewulf Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 I did not find the tomahawks in Honest Hearts to be to my liking, as they were thrown weapons only. Tomahawks were really more often melee weapons than thrown weapons. Throwing your weapon is a dumb thing to do in a real fight. I would like a tomahawk melee weapon that looks like an actual tomahawk. As for the specific tribes I think such things should be modeled after... I'm really not that particular. But since you asked, I think it would make the most sense if things had a Southwest American Indian feel, as that's where the game is set. Apache, Paiute, Arapaho, Navajo, Ute are all good choices. I would be particular to Apache because I'm playing an Apache character. I thought the Honest Hearts dlc armors had more the naked vibe than the Native American vibe, personally. Not really what I was going for. Thanks for the suggestion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigand231 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm not sure if you can add reference images ex post facto, but perhaps some images of what you're ideally looking for might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaplainOrion Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I don't imagine that fallout native americans would be radically different from what most wastelanders where, there would mostly be a flare of native culture but not full blown. Fallout seems to have taken 50's era political scene as well and with the corrupt government that was America I don't iamgine that the legilsture would ever be passed in that universe that allowed for Native Americans to express their culture like we did.
