[Req] More ending sliders

Post » Wed Dec 07, 2011 1:10 pm

Has anyone created a mod that adds more ending sliders?

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Cause if not, is there any modder interested int creating one?

I was thinking of certain factions like Gun Runners, Crimson Caravan, Van Graffs and certain specific people like Dead Sea, Aurelius Of Phoenix, Sunny Smiles.
I just think that the ending sliders didn't fully cover a lot of events and people and that it would be great to have a mod that creates a lot of new ending sliders to create more variation.
Not every NPC would get their own ending slider but some of the more prominent ones would.

These ending sliders would of course need to range from good to grey to bad endings.

Like, Dead Sea for example:
Spoiler


Dead Sea becomes an icon of loyalty.
Spoiler
Requirement: NCR/House/Yes Man wins and Dead Sea is not killed

Description: As Legion is pushed out of the Mojave Nelson is being overrun by NCR/Securitrons (Depending on whether or not you've made NCR enemies in Yes Man or House endings) and Dead Sea sticks to his loyalty to hold Nelson for Caesar. All legionnaires including Dead Sea were killed, news of their last stand against NCR reached Legion in the following weeks and he was made a symbol of courage for the rest of the legionnaires to revere.



Dead Sea is forgotten
Spoiler
Requirement: Kill Dead Sea and have NCR/House/YesMan win.

Description: Despite having proved his courage, disciplin, intellect and loyalty to Caesar he is long forgotten after the Legion is pushed out of the Mojave.



Dead Sea remains unheard of.
Spoiler
Requirement: Legion wins, Caesar is alive, Forlorn Hope was not taken by The Courier.

Description: Dead Sea did not manage to impress Caesar, due to his inability to improvise he was left as a Decanus and sent out to the frontlines of the continued NCR war, once he died he had not done much to be remembered by, and his name was lost in history.



Dead Sea becomes an icon of innovation.
Spoiler
Requirement: Legion wins, Caesar is alive, Forlorn Hope was taken by The Courier

Description: Thanks to Dead Sea's ability to improvise and use a mercenary to take out Forlorn Hope while still staying loyal to his orders he was praised by Caesar. Other decanus and centurions started using mercs to help out with certain actions that they themselves couldn't do. Mercenaries started becoming more prominent in Legion's warfare and they often had allies on their side. Dead Sea is remembered as an icon of innovation for legionnaires.



Dead Sea reaches the rank of a Centurion and is valued for his unique tactical decisions.
Spoiler
Requirement: Legion wins, Lanius is crowned Caesar, Forlorn Hope was not taken by The Courier.

Description: Lanius, pleased with Dead Sea holding Forlorn Hope according to orders allowed him similar campaigns further out west. Dead Sea became a Centurion in the years to come and continues to crumble the morale of any enemy he faces. Unique to the Legion he goes down in history.



Dead Sea becomes an icon of impatiency.
Spoiler
Requirement: Legion wins, Lanius is crowned Caesar, Forlorn Hope was taken by The Courier

Description: Lanius was not pleased that Dead Sea contracted a mercenary to take Forlorn Hope when his orders were clear to demoralize the NCR. Dead Sea was flogged and demoted to a recruit legionnaire and sent out in battle, to have lost his title and been a disgrace to the new Ceasar Dead Sea tried to do quick tactical decisions in his campaign towards NCR, for his hectic choices he and his entire squad was killed. Dead Sea remains remembered as an icon for the Legion, an icon of flaws. Legionnaires are taught not to act like him and to be patient in their decision.


This would of course require a lot of work.
Anyone interested in making this kind of mod?

I would love to do it myself but I quite frankly have no idea how to do this kind of stuff. :(

It's a really interesting concept - hearing what happened to, say, Lanius, Caesar, Cannibal Johnson if you get the remnants to support the Legion, etc would be really neat.

But as you say, it would need lots of work. Voice acting, and peering into the GECK to see how the endings are handled and whether you can edit them.

Voice acting would be a great bonus but I could make do without it.
No idea how hard it would be to do.
Script the text that comes up, pop in a screenshot, maybe edit it with a sepia effect and some black blur on the sides, write the new sliders.
The difficult part would probably be coding it to work with certain actions and whether or not multiple actions can be used.
If someone knows how to do it I'd love to write some of the new sliders.

I wonder how flexible the ending would be to added content, but I have thought about certain places and people who I thought deserved an ending.
Westside, North Vegas Square and the Sharecroppers amongst the first of them. Bittersprings perhaps.
Searchlight and Cottonwood Cove, Camp Forlorn Hope and Nelson.

Gun Runners, Van Graffs, Crimson Caravan, Helios One, Jacobstown (it really needs sliders for which faction won the battle, currently it's a completely isolated event..), Vault 22 and that quest with Keely, Atomic Wrangler and all important people like Cooke, King, Farkas, all of the casino's, including Primm's.

Lots of things that needed ending sliders IMO. :/

Well Van Graffs, Crimson Caravan are mentioned in ending slides and the Gun Runners also act in one where it's relevant for them. There's a certain amount of people that don't really need a separate slide from their faction. So I don't think all of them should have one.

I do agree on Helios One, Jacobs-town, Vault 22 and the casino's. Those really stand out in lack of conclusion.

Actually Crimson Caravan and Van Graffs are exclusive to Rose Of Sharon Cassidy, there are no ending sliders for them unless you travel with Cass.
Similarly with the Gun Runners it's exclusive to the Boomers endings.

Perhaps not, I mean, if the character is mentioned in their factions slider then it's kinda pointless.
Though Eddie should have an ending slider. Not Caesar or ED-E, Powder Ganger Eddie.
He's the boss of NCRCF and he's not mentioned in his factions ending sliders.

Well the Crimson Caravan, Van Graffs and Gun Runners are mentioned every time it's relevant. If you steal Gun Runners plans, McLafferty and the Van Graffs get killed.
The only thing there isn't a slide for is when you do nothing in that regard.

He's the boss of NCRCF and he's not mentioned in his factions ending sliders.

Mostly because he's not that big a player. If he dies the Powder Gangers become leaderless, if he lives they can remain a menace.
