[WIP] Saxxon's Quest Collection

Saxxon's Quest Collection

 

What this is; or is going to be, is a collection of small quests that I have been working on for the last few months. I was getting bored of starting a new game, and every time repeating the same things, so I decided that I would do something to try and fix that.

 

It started out when I made a couple of short quests just to test things out when I was new to modding and didn't know how to do anything. They didn't turn out completely terrible so I decided to develop them further and make a few more. It then turned into this...

 

Don't worry this won't all be fetch quests or having to go somewhere and kill someone, admittedly some of it will be but I think I've added enough variation so that you don't feel like you're just doing the same kind of stuff all the time.

A number of the quests do have different choices you can make that lead to different outcomes, so that should add a bit of re-playability.

It's designed to be played from when you start a new game so you discover the new stuff as you follow the games main quest but you will also be able to add it to your current game as I'll provide a list of all the locations of new content.

 

Features:

- At least 20 new quests.

- 2 new companions Father John Stanley (http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/images/45867/?) and Carla Alvarez (http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/images/46656/?)

- A few little wasteland encounters.

- Quite a few new locations: some small, some fairly large.

- A ton of new NPCs with full voice acting (hopefully)

- A couple of new armors, and maybe a weapon or two depending on what I find.

 

Voice actors:

I will need a number of voice actors for this mod, I'm doing some of it myself but if I did the whole thing it would just make people want to shoot themselves. I'll put the list of roles up in groups of a few at a time as there are quite a lot and there are quite a few that I haven't finished writing.

 

1. Anson: A teenager living in westside, worried about his missing brother. Male, Caucasian, Late teens

(13 lines)

Sample: "Please, I'm desperate. I really need your help!"

 

2. Bill McCellan: A ranch owner from California in the Mojave seeking revenge for the death of his daughter. Male, Caucasian, 50s

Sample: "Why hello there, you wouldn't happen to be some manner of hired gun would you?"

 

3. Captain Fallon: A leader of the Westside militia and former NCR soldier. Male, Caucasian, 30s

Sample: “Well I'm a trader you see, I was heading to Vegas myself but apparently the NCR's scared of bugs or something so they won't let me leave.”

22. Glen Traper. A business man from new Reno interested in buying Clays bar.

(about 20 lines)

Sample: “Well you see there's a story behind that. For almost six years I ran a bar outside Reno, it was never anything big but I was good at it.”

“Eventually the casino families there started to see me as a threat to their business and they pressured me into closing down the place and moving.”

 

There are also a number of smaller roles most of which have less than five lines each, people like: Caravan guards, mercenaries, hit-men, prisoners and street thugs.

With these characters it doesn't matter so much what they sound like as it would be easier for me to change them to suit the voice than it would be to find actors to suit the characters.

 

If you're interested in any of these roles then either message me or say so here, also it would be best if you could include an example of your work using the sample lines listed for each of the characters.

 

 

FAQ:

I'll do it later...

 

If you have and comments, questions or suggestions then leave them here, as I'll be happy to answer them.

Sounds fun. I also tire of starting a new game and following the same pattern. Looking forward to this.

[Saxxon91]

I've added a list of roles that need voice actors; it's not all of them but I'll add the rest when the ones listed are filled and I finish writing others.

Well, another quest mod that add content to the existing New Vegas World.... I love you.

 

For the new weapons and armors, will they use vanilla content (lore-friendly?)?

 

You have ALL my support.

 

Edit; I played recently, and I have noticed that the zones just outside of westside is... empty, really... there is nothing interesting expect some Jackals camp, it could be a really good place to insert some quests and add some life.

 

The mole rat ranch, near the NV clinic could be a good place too...

I know it's pretty redundant but if you would like some original music for the mod I'd be happy to make some, if not, thats cool too.

I'm hoping to keep the whole thing as lore-friendly as possible; I only have a few custom armors at the moment and I think they fit into the game well.

About the locations you mentioned I have actually have added stuff to the places you mentioned. So far 4 new quests in westside and more taking place in the surrounding area. The mole rat ranch has a new owner and a quest to go with it and the clinic has two new quests.

I hadn't actually thought about that. It would be nice but I'm not sure how I'd include it, so for now I don't think it's needed.

I'll sign up for some voice acting. I'll record a sample soon.

[kruddpm]

Thats cool, but if you ever need any then feel free to send me a message.

[swagdaddy31]

I'd like to try my hand at some voice acting, whats a good program to use for capturing my sample.

[Saxxon91]

I'd suggest using Audacity. I use it myself; it's free and easy to use.
