» Sun Mar 20, 2016 2:57 am About mercenaries and raiders. I wonder why there are so few variations.
In the game we only have generic raiders and the Gunners. Why can not we have more raiders and mercenaries who control the city and every time we travel, we find war zones between the gangs. I think it would be more immersive. It would add a greater challenge in exploring Boston.
For raiders and mercenaries, I would have a few suggestions.
The raiders are struggling to survive, and then we see a "homemade" equipment.
So I wonder how it would be if some of them have some "variations" as a gang:
Fanatics of the pre war or the "Lords": unlike all other raiders, have a good taste for the elegance of the past, but who are "adapted" to their needs of raider, and often their armor have a bulletproof vest equipped. And some members were formally part of Triggerman. But in most of the cases they are bounty hunters.
Their weapons would include: revolvers, shotguns and sniper rifles.
Dunwich Cultists: their appearance would make them seem like strange druids with long blacks clothes and strange metal masks or even bones, used for their rituals. Often they use wild ghouls as "watchdogs" and often are "equipped" with knives tied to their arms and metal masks that cover only part of their face, and they are wrapped in a black robe. And in rare cases even Yao Guai or Deathclaws!
In fighting the cultists use daggers for rituals; flame throwers, laser rifles incendiary grenades, and incendiary guns
Warmongers: they are equipped with heavy equipment, which includes: metal armor or power armor. Their style is reminiscent of a mix between the Roman, German and Viking style; often accompanied with war trophies or "medals".
As weapons, they would have supplied different minigun, rocket launchers, assault rifles, shotguns, and in rare cases even a fatman.
And since they are very "powerful" with equipment, they captured and subdued some super mutants to use them as cannon fodder in their raids.
And now let's talk about the Mercenaries:
Silver Ghosts: they are silent mercenaries. They included black and black gas masks suits. Their use of the old pre-war technology of camouflage; ranging from Stealth Boy to the Chinese stealth suits. They fight with silenced weapons, and many of their robots can go into stealth mode during combat.
Omega Legion: unlike ordinary mercenaries, this group has formed a strong passion for the energy weapons and power armors; as well as for science fiction and superheroes from the pre war era (yeah they are huge nerd). Also they managed to capture and to convert some synths, of the first and second generation. But are dressed as if they were the road warriors. Or other times as normal henchmen, or even with a power armor. And at every sentence, they pronounce quotes from the pre-war comics, tv series and movies.
Bombers: the particularity of these mercenaries is to blow up all enemies with explosives. And to avoid any major problems with the "side effects" of their damage, they are heavily equipped to protect themselves by their own explosions. And since they love strongly; the explosions, their armor are often colored yellow, red or brown. And like all the other mercenaries wear special power armor specially modified by them to "reduce" the explosive damage.
As equipment; The Bombers have several weapons and explosives, ranging from simple grenades, missile launchers up to the Fat Man. But it would be interesting to see a few grenade launcher in the game.
Well, that's all. If you have any suggestions you too, you're welcome. It would be really nice to see new gangs to fight in Boston. And not just in the next DLC as Far Harbor.
Well what do you think about folks?
