Slyther987 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) So there was an idea me and my fiancée came up with along time back in fallout 3 where I ended up creating a vault dweller who was vault security and a bit of a gun nut called Viola. Sadly due to the constraints of fallout 3 we could never go as far was what we made her out to be. I have enjoyed using mods but never have I been good at creating them so I wanted to post this here to see if someone likes the idea enough to make it. Who is she? Viola is a vault dweller from vault 101, she’s a traveler of the wasteland who makes a living helping people as a mechanic and merc. Should could be THE vault girl for all you know but she won’t tell. “let’s just say I have some experience with the wasteland… have to say the kid running Dimond city radio isn't like three dog... he needs a confidence boost / radio music's not that bad, bit more lively than the capital waistland... 3 dogs got competition up here.” What does she do? I had the idea that she might be a vendor but not your average vendor. Viola has a talent for taking weapons and improving them beyond the conventional means, (even if it means voiding a few warranties.) The idea was to have her as a vendor who can take your weapons and caps and retrofit them to increase the killing power and potential. “well I take your boring pre-war weapons and give them a little kick… it’s not like you can void the warranty. well in most cases... your not from the gunrunners are you?” Why is she in the commonwealth? The institute – the institute has weapons she’s never seen before and what’s to experiment (break them) to see how they tick and augment the ones she doesn’t break to improve killing power. “the institute… (laughs) no no I’m not here to join… god no… I like to find new weapons and examine them” What does she offer? A way to take existing guns and other fallout guns/idea and supe them up. “so I could take your boring DSR-50 and that cobbled together thing you call a gauss rifle and create a sniper rifle that fires 50 cal accelerated rounds with a pre-charge function… you know… like they had pre-war…” A vendor who as you do things for her, her inventory increases because she can re-produce any weapon she makes. Maybe have dialog for novelty & DLC weapons. like the broadsided. “what… this is… a cannon… where did you get a cannon… you know what, don’t answer... I’m sure I can do something with this.” Or the cryo ray “a freeze gun… the mechanist or the antagonist would have a field day with this one… but it uses unique ammo? Let me have a look at it… if I can’t do anything with it. you pay nothing. it's not like i'd give you the cold shoulder over something like this.” Or even the railroad gun “railroad spikes, well we live in a world where the junk jet is a thing so… sure” Maybe an improvement to the silver shroud SMG “so I can’t help but notice this SMG is silver and my pipboy’s been picking up a radio station on the silver shroud… pre-war weapons not good enough for… SILVER SHROUD?” Also maybe a few quests to give the vendor more personality. “if you could get me an institute pistol I can have a look at it, see how it differs from your standard laser rifle. I’d look myself but I have a feeling that if I show up on their radar… yeah no…” And quests for other fallout game weapons. Gun runners “you ever here of the gunrunners… group works out in some place called new Vegas, east coast supposedly… come across a few of there weapons but never got a chance to look at them… I might have asked the brotherhood for a lift before they screwed over project purity… also, I have a feeling the gunrunners might not take to kindly to me pulling apart there stuff… for trade secret reasons… well anyway, if you can get a hold of <gun name> I’d sure like to take a look at it.” 223 pistol “so I heard there was once this pistol the gunrunners got there hands on and mass manufactured something called a 223 pistol after buying it of a vault dweller a few 100 years back. Rumour has it the pistol was originally a clip fed rifle that someone fashioned in to a pistol, then the gunrunners got there hands on it and like everything out west turned it in to a revolver… If you can get your hands on one I’d love to examine it. see how it ticks. Maybe find a way to create a clip fed variant that has the same utility." Maybe even modify DLC weapons like the Chinese rifle. “ah, you have to give it to the red menace… they knew how to make weapons that can kill… all for Alaska… welp, let’s see what we can do.” I also had the idea for a unique weapon quest for her. “so, you’ve been helping me a lot so, I think it’s only fair I share something with you… you ever hear of the enclave? Bastards, I know but who isn’t in post apocolitia. Remnants of the Pre-war American government Supposedly they were operating from east to west coast. well, they had a few prototypes of a plasma pistol that I’ve been wanting to get my hands on for some time. You probably know this but the current plasma weapons are more hobbled together pieces of… junk. Well, this pistol was a more sleek design real space age stuff… I only ever heard of a name in the capital waist lands… ZRX-5A, during my time in the capital I came across a terminal at somewhere I shouldn’t have been, that they were shipped to a military base east coast… then someone went and blew it up. But every now and then I hear of a weird looking plasma pistol with some real kick, supposedly the plasma projectiles are mush faster and melt through there targets much more quickly… and I’m talking super mutant targets… but it also has an overheating issue… you ever find one, hand it to me. see if i can't do something amazing with enclave tech..." So this is my idea for a character/ vendor / quest giver if people are interested in that last one i can create a basic paint.net image and upload it to google docs.
