I'd like to play more or less as a fiend. To accomplish this I need to be able to hang out in Fiend territory without being attacked by them. Really that's all I'm trying to accomplish.

Someone (see below) gave me some step by step instructions on how to create a file to accomplish this, but it isn't working for me. Can anybody explain how to do this for me? My GECK skill is about negative 4.


Here are the instructions that General Masters graciously provided for me:
*****
1) Set up an .esp file, call it FiendStart or something like that. Save it and close the GECK.
2) Reopen the GECK with the new .esp file set as Active.
3) Click Player on the taskbar, then click Faction. Right-click and select 'new'
4) Scroll down to FiendAnimal Faction and drag it into the Player faction window. Do the same for FiendsFaction NV. Set them to 'Neutral' or better.
5) Save the file and close the GECK.
6) Check the box for the new .esp under Data Files in the start menu.

Edit for potentially useful info:
GECK is installed in steam/steamApps/common/fallout new vegas. Hopefully the right place.
When I get to step 3 above, I notice there is no "Player" on the taskbar. I tried selecting Character and, from the drop down Faction.
Right-clicking New in the available window (Faction: CreatureFaction is the window name) gives me an option to enter a new item, but there is no information to scroll through at all. Just one item in the list: CreatureFaction.

I'd imagine the player's factions probably get cleared at some point. Just go to the Factions category, find the Fiends faction, and add an Ally->PlayerFaction entry under faction relations.

After mucking around in the GECK and GECK wiki for a few hours, I've officially decided I have no idea what I'm doing. :banghead: Thanks anyway though :thumbsup:

On the Toolbar, click on 'Character' and then 'Factions...'.

Find the player faction in the 'Factions' list on the left and select it.

Then with the player faction selected, in the box in the center titled 'Interfaction Relations', right-click your mouse and select 'New'.
It always adds a new faction of '188GeneralFaction'. Click to select it, and in the drop-down boxes below that box, change it to 'PlayerFaction' and click the Ally radio button below that. You can also make the disposition 100 if you like.

Thanks Willie. The problem is that when I select 'Character' then 'Factions,' my list is empy except for one entry (the one I've named in my first post). It's like the GECK is not picking up on a library or something. I know I have it installed in the correct folder, but there is no list from which to select. Wo are my tech skills laid lo :cryvaultboy:

Ever consider downloading one of the mods that do this on Fallout nexus? There were several that make the Fiends non-hostile in different ways.
