In Fallout 3 I was messing around with the GECK, mostly making scripts and weapons. In NV, however, I've decided that I want to try and make a location along with a quest. Then, the idea came to me - a Vault in the style of 1984. For those unfamiliar with the book/movie, it revolves around the idea of a society where the citizens are constantly watched by the "Big Brother", and have no free will what-so-ever. For more info, check out these links:

Anyways, the quest takes place in the hidden Vault 84. It is started by venturing close to the Vault's location (currently undecided) and seeing a person in a Vault 84 Jumpsuit run, and another shooting him. If nothing is done, the escapee dies and the chaser disappears; if the body is searched, a note is found detailing the location of the vault. If the the player decides to kill the chaser, the escapee will thank him/her, disclose the location of the vault, and offer his help during the quest. If the player shoots the escape, the chaser will attack the player, hoping to kill all witnesses (the vault's location is found on the escapee's body).

Vault 84 was built in order to research society under oppression, and an Enclave officer was appointed as the Vault's first Overseer. Since then, being an Overseer became a matter of heritage. Vault 84 is big, around the size of an in-game city. When the player enters the Vault, he finds it on a brink of a civil war. He can choose to help the "government" get rid of the resistance, help the oppressed civilians overthrow the government, free the civilians leaving the Vault almost empty, or negotiating with both sides to open the Vault into a free city of the Mojave Wasteland.

This is what I have so far - what do you think?

It's an interesting concept in my opinion so I'd most likely give it a go. A place with no free will, however? I haven't read that novel but that sounds like it'd be pretty boring.

1984 is one of the best stories ever thought of, IMO. I strongly recommend either the book or the movie (or both XD)

I'm just dropping in to connect some possibly useful modders resources (most are from Fo3, so they be useless in New Vegas. :confused:) however there are vault resources (for vault related quests) and many other things I thought might be even remotely useful in for your idea.

I've got all these posted on my "http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/271808-post-your-ideas-for-quest-mods/" Thread.

Ah, 1984. The western extreme of communism. Personally I hate the book but this would be pretty damn cool. I would help you make this mod.

Wow, thanks! I'll be sure to take a look at those and see if they can be used in NV.




A help offer? Sweet! Didn't think this would happen. What are you good at?

1984 was fascism. Communism was Animal farm.

I like the idea and the backstory is pretty sick.
