Fallout New Vegas: Space DLC

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 12:56 pm

Ive read several posts and forums and ive heard alot of people say they like the idea of having another DLC in space. I have to admit, Mothership Zeta was really fun, but they couldve pushed it even further. Bethesda could make one that left you saying,"Bravo Bethesda. That was epic."
Don't you agree that there should be another journey into space? What would be some good ideas.

-Moonbase This was an idea i had heard from someone in a forum, but its a good idea so ill help him out. Imagine your character finding a launch pad with a group of people that have been sending out a message asking for help. They say they've had weird signals that are coming from our moon. It almost sounds like someones trying to reach us. But how could someone still be alive on the moon after 200 years? That's where you come in. well, you and about 4 other people. You're asked to go to the moon base and investigate. Unlike the other DLCs, (whenever you travel the screen goes dark and it comes back when you're at your destination) You'll be able to experience the entire take-off and docking with the moon base. You and your team set up in a small room when you come into the base. It's here where you'll come up with a plan and find out whats going on. As you explore the base, you start to wonder if you're alone. Maybe you are...maybe someone with you knows more about the base than they let on. Maybe there's some terrifying new alien that can't be killed and it keeps pursuing you no matter what. This mission can take several different turns from your entire squad dying to the entire squad living. And anywhere in between. Imagine you and one more member being the only survivors as you fight to the airlock and get your suits on. You both hop into a land rover as the doors open wide, revealing the beautiful but empty surface of the moon. You have plenty of space to drive around quite a bit and enjoy the scenery. There are two moon outposts and one natural cave that might not be that natural. Two new songs should be added to add a more otherworldly feel to this impressive DLC.


-The Day The Sky Fell This is an idea i came up with. A message goes across the world. Every city, settlement, and lonely radio starts broadcasting a message...one that never ends until the missions done. It says that we received footage from one of our old probes in space that an army of alien ships were coming. They needed help. Help from soldiers, from scientists, from doctors, and from the whole world. Every known rocket, ship, and space involved technology has been brought to the organization that started this message. The world is united for one brief moment in this DLC. join a crew of multiple ships and rank up as you go along. Maybe by the end of the mission you'll have your own ship, depending on the choices you made. Take full control of your ship and change the tides of battle in the epic and intense finale that will leave you speechless and covered in goosebumps.


Sunshine- This is more of an opinion than anything. Have you ever seen the movie sunshine? Group of eight people get in a ship called Icarus 2 in an attempt to restart the dying sun. They soon encounter problems when they pick up transmissions from the Icarus 1, the first ship to try and restart the sun, but they failed. Things happen throughout the movie that get people killed, like fixing a panel on the outside and getting hit with a flare, freezing to death in a tank of coolant while trying to fix the mainframe, committing suicide in a room that creates beautiful scenery from earth so you don't get space madness, and the crazy captain of Icarus 1 who's survived for seven years by himself until those metal doors to his ship creaked open. The difference between most sci-fi movies and sunshine is that most movies have an idiot who makes a bad decision and everyone dies. In this movie, everyone's smart, selfless, and logical. Every choice and decision they make they have a sound argument behind it. When it comes down to someone having to sacrifice themselves, they do it without hesitation, for the sake of the world. Which is why I think this could be a good idea. Maybe not exactly like sunshine cause fallout needs to have its own element to it, but the main story is good. They fly into the surface of the sun with a nuke the size of Manhattan and ignite it. In the end, one member is left and caught in between a nuclear explosion and the surface of the sun. Between the magnets, electrical force, matter, and whatever the hell else they said, time stops for just a few moments and the crew member is able to spend his last remaining moment staring at the beautiful twisting morphing fire and blue nuclear matter. This scene was so beautiful it touched me. Imagine being able to play the same kind of story but with your character. Teamed up with the perfect team as you head towards the sun and who knows, maybe in the end you'll take a selfless road and manually activate the bomb, ending your life the way it happens in the movie. Truly an epic ending for the greatest hero ever-You. But, then again you mightv'e had someone else take your place and you watch from a safe distance as the nuke goes off, brightening the sun and filling your screen with a bright light. You took the selfish road and you're now heading home. Hopefully someone else survived because its a long trip home.


-Ocean Nebula This one would be kind of like point lookout. A big place to run around in and do whatever you wanted instead of sticking to a main story. In this one you find a device that's fallen to earth. When you activate it, you teleport halfway across the galaxy into the Ocean Nebula, a beautiful blue hazy nebula. You find yourself on a space station. This is your fallback area, your home if you will. It's occupied by some types of robots youve never seen before. They tell you what you found was a MARK AND RECALL probe. expensive devices that can be planted anywhere you want an instantly teleport to that exact location. You team up with these robots to build your own ship from scratch and then head out into the nebula. You can fly around wherever you want and do the alien missions as you please and in any order.

So I think these would be fun. Which one of these sounds the best? And what are your ideas?
