This may have already been posted but what do you think about an update bethesda could make on opening the lucky 38. Where vegas residents come in to gamble and drink and you can invest in the 38 to make it better and have a good income rate. Where vegas citizens actualy know who killed house ( if you did ) and that you now own the 38. Would you like to see this in vegas ?

There are allready 3 fully operational casino's on the strip and u have the atomic wrangler in freeside. I think it would be a bit of a rip-off from the GTA series to open businesses and earn money, it would also completely remove the need to go out and explore. That's pretty much the core of this game, if u have income u can just wait and buy guns/armour from vendors when u wait long enough. Finally the courier is.. well a courier and prospector of sorts and I don't know why he would be interested in running a business. House is allready earning more than enough from the other casinos and I don't think he'd have any reason to risk his security over earning more.

So to summarize: no I would not like that.

There is already a mod that lets you run the lucky 38 I believe its called "Run the Lucky 38"..lol

@DMC-ice

While I agree with you that the "vanilla" Courier so to speak, is a courier and prospector. But in reality the Courier can be whoever you want him to be. Hell for me hes ben a Centurion, Hitman, Ranger, Serial Killer, Cannibal, Rich-ass gangsta, Raider/Fiend, lol you get the picture...

Personally, I havent downloaded the mod but I think it looks pretty cool and am thinking about it. You get to renovate it, attract customers (either high class or freesiders) and many other options that makes it kinda look like fun!

Sounds like The Sims 2: Open For Business, friend.

As far as modding goes, I don't care do what u like its ur game after all. I simply wouldn't like to see it in the Vanilla game, I'd rather have Obsidian work on another DLC instead of something like this. Ur right that the courier can be whatever u want him to be, however I would like some motivation for him to do it, and so far I can't think of any other than making money. Why would the Courier at that point want to invest his time into running a business? How does that fit into the story? Because there still is a story, it's not a total sandbox.

Its called Roleplaying buddy, its fun for some people :whistling:

haha. Personally, I dont find it all that farfetched. If you go the route of


I could see him wanting to take over the 38.. especially if he has already goten his revenge against Benny, and has taken Houses place in turning Vegas "independant" Why wouldnt he want to own his own Casino? Frankly I dont see how it doesnt fit into the story if your not going Legion or NCR it kinda makes perfect sense considering


So to me, If your going that route in the story it makes more sense to take control of the Lucky 38 in my opinion. (and it makes for more immersion which I am always glad to add more).

And of coarse there is still a story, and a storyline, but I feel like, why rush it? I dont want to zip through the story and be done with it. I want to play and enjoy other parts of the game aswell (modded content or not) so any chance to add more quests/content, Im usually gonna take it.

Another mod that is somwhat "pointless" like this is RTS Real Time Settler, In it you build your own thriving community, houses, workers, trade with other factions, hire soldiers, and set up defenses...This mod doesnt even really make you all that much caps but the point of it is for roleplaying, immersion, and all around fun! It has nothing to do with any quests and doing it takes time, time you could be spending doing quests but the point is that somtimes its fun to do other things than just the story or side quests of the vanilla game and that is the point for things like this.

This is all just my opinion ovbiously and you can have yours aswell, just tellin you how I feel bout it, lol

and the whole discussion about if Bethesda will do it or not is pointless anyway, The next dlc. The Lonesome Road, is the last story dlc anyways so it doesnt matter..

Thx

I wasn't attacking how u (role)play the game, I'd be quite the cheeky bastard if I did that. I'm just not appealed to having this "open 38" stuff in the vanilla game, it doesn't fit imo.

If you're on PC, check http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40531 out. If not...well you're out of luck buddy.

IDK how that'd make sense. Maybe if you kill House, but if you're a House fan, it makes no sense why House would magically open his personal home to the world, that's practically INVITING trouble.

Agreed. The entire reason it's closed is most likely his safety.

It's his Fortress of Solitude.

Yep.
