Hey everyone. I'm not too sure how to go about this as it's the first time I've tried to form a mod team but here goes...

I'm looking for enthusiastic modders to join me in creating an epic science fiction quest.

Before you assume I'm just another guy with a random idea, please check out the pictures posted at the bottom. I have done work on this mod and have a kind of half-working quest set up but I just can't seem to get the damned thing working like I'd like to.


Something strange is happening beneath the surface of Lake Mead. NCR scouts have reported bright lights and tremors originating from the lake's bed. Could it be a secret base belonging to the Enclave or the Brotherhood? (I'll give you a hint, it isn't).

Embark on a journey that will take you further than any mod has ever taken you before (I'm hoping).


Originally I had intended to do everything myself. However, fairly early on in the project I realised I can't make quests in the GECK to save my life. It also takes me well over a week to get any item of clothing I try to make working properly.


NEEDED:

- Quest Maker: Someone with skill in creating quests and dialogue. I will provide all the scripts, timelines and NPCs and do as much of the work as I can. If something cannot be done then constructive criticism will be very welcome.

-Clothing maker: I actually only need one or two essential new items of clothing. I just need someone who can rig them and get them to work in game.
I have a notebook full of storylines, doodles and blueprints all relating to this mod. I can write the plot, make the models, and write the speech (and I've already done a fair amount of this). The quest making, though, I'm seriously hoping someone can help me with.



Below I'm putting some screenshots to show I'm not just an "idea-man". I really want to give this mod 100% but I'm going to need help.
Thanks for reading, enjoy the pretty screenies :laugh:

P.S. Before anyone posts a tutorial for quest making, I'm not saying I can't learn it, given enough time. But considering I've been modding on and off since Morrowind and still haven't picked it up, I think it's safe to say I'm not particularly gifted in that area =]

If that whet your whistle then here is the backstory for the mod. It's long (which is why I put it in a seperate post) but it sets the scene.

Just a warning, the plot sounds very cheesy when condensed down into a few paragraphs. I mean it IS cheesy but like I said, I have a notebook full of dialogue and backstory that will make it sound at least halfway realistic.

SPOILERS ALERT

So you start the quest by talking to Lt.Davies at Camp Golf. This is a snippet of the dialogue I have put into the Geck so far (WIP):

etc.. etc...

Basically you end up scouting out the place for clues as to what transpired at the Lake. You only lead is a strange man seen wandering the lake shore.
When you find the man you he tells you he needs your help in accessing a large structure that has risen from the bottom of the lake. He promises you will be well rewarded if you help him. After a quest to retrieve some bits and pieces from the lake bed, you discover the man is actually an alien being who has been living on Earth for millions of years, waiting for the emergence of a ship.

The ship belongs to a cult with members of many alien races who, after thousands of years of philisophical debate, have decided the only logical path is to destroy every sentient being in the universe, thus ending all pain and suffering everywhere.

The alien who helps you is a member of a robotic species known as Deep. I'm calling him Thompson for the moment. Thompson infiltrated the cult on behalf of the Deep and posed as one of their members. He discovered a plot to create a doomsday device. The device would allow the cult to realise their dream of universal destruction.
He managed to warn his people, but as the Deep fleet arrived to destroy the cult, the cult's flag ship took off, heading for the galaxy known as the Milky Way.
Thompson stowed away on board the ship just before it escaped.

Upon arriving in the Milky Way, the flagship came under heavy fire by the current inhabitants of the galaxy, the Blorgons. The Blorgons were highly terrotorial and had never had much interaction with the other species in the galaxy. As such, they were unaware that the ship they were firing on could potentially destroy the universe. They simply believed the ship was invading their territory.

This idea was enforced when moments later, a large section of the Deep fleet entered the area. The Blorgons turned their attention from the flagship and focused their firepower on what they believed to be an invading army. This gave the flagship a chance to escape.

However, the flagship had taken heavy damage, and as it entered the Sol system, its engines failed and it crash landed on Earth. With life support failing and hostile ships looking for them, the cult quickly came up with a plan to bury their ship deep within the earth until such a time as it could be repaired and made spaceworthy again.

Thompson managed to escape the ship just before it was buried but the rest of the cult stayed inside, safetly stored in stasis pods.


This is turning into a massive wall and could easily get bigger so I'll leave it there for now. Needless to say it's a large plotline spanning several galaxies. I want to convey the idea that the player is playing a small but significant part, in a much larger story.
