So, I'm going to start getting into modding, because there's a mod I really want made, and I think I'm going to have to do it myself.

If you want to read about my mod idea, click the spoiler. If not, skip it and just read the text below.

click here to read long ass explanation:

Any way, I've got some serious learning to do before I tackle this. I'll keep you posted on the mod's progress. In the mean time, feel free to post any good mods you use (or have used) or would like to see.

A little concept art.

It's rough, I know, but I don't have a scanner so I have to do my drawing on the computer.

Fallout 3 Mod 746_12_100
"I will, but it's because I want to."

Seriously though, I'm not trying to make Fallout 3 into Fallout 2, I'm just trying to bring back the atmosphere and the things about it that worked. There were a lot of changes that Bethesda made that just don't make sense. Why is the sky suddenly green? Why is power armor so crap? Why did super mutants go from a highly intelligent race (or at least, equally intelligent as humans) to a crazed bunch of murderous retards? Why do raiders wear such exceptionally stupid outfits and kill everyone they come across (and how do they get new recruits, for that matter?) The list goes on.

As for that whole "map screen" thing, I already gave my reasons for that.

different location, develops at a different rate, affected differently

variety is the spice of life, changing things is good for the future, if they didn't change anything they'd only attract the initial fanbase and nobody else

Even without changing the afore mentioned things, it'd still be a very different game. In all honesty, though, what's it to you? No one's going to force you to download the mod.

Leather armor concept (not to be confused with the leather jacket.)

I love sandboxes, all sandboxes. So this probably wouldn't be for me.

That said, Godspeed in your endeavour. How hard is it to do this ? It's something a non-technical guy like myself couldn't even imagine tackling.

I don't know much about modding, but I know

www.rockpapershotgun.com

has a weekly mod spot. It might be worth looking at their forums as well, see if there's anyone with any good advice to give.

Considering that there are very few mods that change the game up this much, I'm imagining quite hard. I definitely look forward to starting work on this mod, though. Lately I've been pre-occupied with trying to get a job and playing Fallout: New Vegas, so in the mean time I'll just keep working on concept art and thinking up ideas.

Figured I'd redo my leather jacket concepts to make them a little less... crappy.

Hmmm, maybe posting a largely black image against a very dark background wasn't the best idea.

all dickery aside, are you truly capable of something of this scale? It's one thing to WANT something, but as I have experienced multiple times you might not be able to ever finish it.

And even if you do, you may be the only one who plays it. Face facts, bro, New Vegas is out. It'll take at most six more months before everyone stops caring about Fallout 3 entirely. It uses the same engine and everything, so there's no reason for modders with money or piracy skills to stick around Fallout 3.

There's also going to be another Fallout game released within two years, and if your mod isn't done by then then nobody will play it.

I'll tell you right here and now, developing a game (or mod for a game) that only you will play is a sad endeavor. You need to develop for an audience or you might as well be sitting in a corner playing with your dick. It's the same thing.

Playing your dick has a better reward too.

I disagree with this. Games find certain audiences. You're right in that the casual fan will just play it and then move on. But any game of quality usually finds a pretty hard-core fan base. Hell, there are still people playing and modding Counter-Strike. Now that's an extreme example, but I still think that caertain people keep the flame alight. And this is probably your target audience anyways, as casual fans wont bother frigging around with mods for a game.

I say if you (Drifter) are interested enough to do it, then I'd be surprised if there weren't also other people interested enough to play it.

However, I do agree with Art in that it seems to be a pretty massive endeavour you're undertaking.

I admit, I sometimes make big plans for projects that fall through. I'm a little overly ambitious. And that could well happen this time around. I'll do my best to force myself to go through with it, but you never know.

In the mean time though, I have to ask (to art[evoire{what a twat name}]): Why are you trying to convince me not to bother?

Way I see it, If it doesn't turn out, so be it, but it's not going to hurt anyone to try. The benefits of success (programming experience, an awesome mod, etc.) far outweigh the penalties of failure (some wasted time, not that I'm using my time that constructively these days anyway.)

I was actually considering that instead. It'd certainly be a little easier from an artistic standpoint.
