creating a random encounters/ mod

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:11 pm

I think it would be awesome to add a new encounter into the game. Theres tons of wide open areas near the bottom areas or top of the map, so I thought it would awesome to add a new random encounter/ part mod that introduces new weapons, and a new companion.

basically what would happen is you would enter a specific cell (or place on map if you can fine tune it more) that would trigger this encounter where the Clarabella 7 falling from the sky and landing on the ground. then Colonel Hartingan (the dead astronaut from Mothership Zeta) in this alternate reality encounter from what happened in mothership zeta. (Hartigen got away in his spacecraft and miraculously landed in the middle of the mojave) He will be wearing winterized medic armor also from zeta, but carrying on him his spacesuit and nova surge MPLX with 100 microfusion cells. As soon as you encounter him and talk to him, he begins to tells you how he escaped.. but is cut off by another explosion this time an Alien Space ship (similar to the new vegas encounter or firelance encounter in Fallout 3)

Except this time, it's not just 3 aliens, but about 15-20 of them! some with the forcefields from zeta. looking to abduct the PC, his party and Hartigan. One has Captains Sidearm, One has Firelance, one carrying the atomic pulverizer, and i guess 2 aliens with drone cannons :D

while the rest all have alien atomizers and disintegrators (one with the unique version)


Your conversation with Hartigen is cut off as he exclaims, "lets kill these bastards!",, and you battle with the aliens in one of the most epic battles in the game. If your lucky enough to defeat the aliens before Hartigan dies (he'll have a high HP) and decent armour... you gain all of the aliens weapons with say 4000 APM's and another 1000 APC's on their bodies.

after the battle you talk with Hartigan, and asks if he can travel with you in your party.

I just thought this would be a really cool mod, maybe more fitting for Fallout 3... since all these objects would be in the Fallout 3 (and mothership zeta) game files.
I've never made a mod before, but I was really hoping something like this wouldn't be impossible? If it's only doable for Fallout 3 that's okay with me too, but i really want to try and make this. Can anyone point me in the right direction to a thread site about creating
comprehensive fallout mods like this? I'd really like to have it for New Vegas, but would be totally willing to just have it for Fallout 3 (since i like Fallout 3 just as much, if not more than New Vegas)

I just want to know if this is at all possible to do, no matter if it will take me hundreds of hours or something. it will be worth it.

In theory it all sounds possible. Not sure if the medic armor voice made it into new vegas. http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/Main_Page

Perhaps a way to obtain dogmeat like in FO2?

Just putting the idea out there.
