[Req]Alternate ending

Post » Sat Feb 12, 2011 9:32 am

I hate NCR and I hate the Legion. I love the Brotherhood and I love the Boomers. Any possible way to make a whole new ending that makes me team BoS and the Boomers together? Hell. Maybe even the Khans can join the 2 aswell. But Mr.House NCR and the Legion need to die. Last mission, Kill Caesar, kill Crocker, kill Mr.House, kill Moore, and finally the Legate Lanius. After that when Oliver busts down the door, It gives me the chat option to say "Boys, Gun them down" and Paladins gun them all down.

I don't think that is possible since that maybe hard coded into the game. You talk to the Brotherhood and get them to assist X faction then the boomers assist you. Only thing that comes even remotely close to mind would be re-skinning the Sentry Bots at the end making them look like BoS guys.

I seriously doubt anything about the end-game battle is hardcoded into the game.


That'd be absolutely ridiculous. It's all scripts and dialogue and combat... there wouldn't even be any point in hardcoding it. What? So modders couldn't change it? That's not gonna happen.

I'm sure it'd be entirely possible to make what you ask, Ezekial.

The problem is, I doubt anyone has the time and patience to do it. Quest mods... especially ones that actually affect vanilla quests... are usually scarce.

Oh god I know it would take a long time. But see, I wasn't expecting it anytime soon. If any time, I would say minimum 2 months.

Just do the Yes Man ending. That allows you to kill Caesar, Mr House, Lanius, etc, (and pretty much anyone else) and have the Brotherhood, Boomers, and anyone else you want to survive survive. It won't allow you to have the Paladins gun down Oliver's peeps, but it might let you threaten them with killbots.

I'd also like a happy, sappy ending for both me and Cass! Not the one where she opens the wrong door and proceeds to [censored] a random NCR soldier.. that's a downer! A total anti-climatic downer I say!
I saved her useless skin from numerous Radscorpions on hardcoe MANY times and I don't even get a hug??! :shakehead:

John Cassidy is dissapoint!

I should probably clarify by saying I think the "Ending Cut Scenes" are hard coded in aka "Voice Acting, Slides, etc..." which cannot be changed. You can't have Veronica come in and say "The Brotherhood of Steel has taken over the Mojave turning it into....." because her VA didn't say that. Now as for the actual battle at Hoover damn "yes" that can be changed because that is scripted in the game. Also yes it is possibly to re-write things a bit, but it would take some serious effort to make things work out.

Like I said the best thing the OP could hope for is doing the quest line for Yes man to be independent then just reskin the Sentry bots to look like BoS guys.

"Hard coded" means the .exe is responsible for a certain behavior and it cannot be changed. There is nothing hardcoded in the ending. At all. The slideshow and dialogue are managed with the "VEnding" quest and the .biks are played via "VEndingBinks". If someone had the content, then implementing it would be easy.

But yeah, Yes Man ending should be close enough.

It is possible of course. It's just that I can't see the voice acting really working out, and.... I donno if the ppl who can make it happen feel driven enough to go to all the work.

Truth be told I kinda didn't like any of the endings, personally. Even yes-man requires you to do something nasty to House and its kinda like, if you like house, you have to be his yes-man. Ah well. I use an end-game defeater and can just continue playing so .... life goes on i guess.

Yeah. If House didn't require you to KO the Brotherhood, his ending probably would be the 'best' in that you could do it without killing any of the factions (or people in general) off.

So put me in as wanting a way to keep the Brotherhood alive while still doing the House ending.

I have a greater interest in creating new quest lines rather than additional optional endings. It is possible though its just the voice acting that will be lacking if someone were to do it I imagine. making it so house doesn't want you to kill the brotherhood would most likely be easy to hook up.
