Crime And Punishment - Player Solicitation
(aka: CAP now allows you to become a provider of "services")

NOTE: There is no nudity nor adult animations in this video. Crime And Punishment, in and of itself, does not contain any content of that nature, though if YOU have that content installed, CAP can certainly use it.

Yes. You read that right. CAP has a solicitation subsystem now! :)

This is a small demo of the all-new player solicitation subsystem in Crime And Punishment. Why? Because. It thematically fits into the game world and it fits into the world that CAP is trying to establish. And you know... a person's gotta make money, any way they can, am I right?

Features a FULL dialogue tree, full of random lines that flow one to the next, covering a whopping 34 unique voice types. What does that mean? It means that literally ANY spawned NPC (in the Commonwealth anyways), can be interacted with as a potential client (Im still toying with adding FH and NW NPC types to this - its just a LOT of f'ing work!). However. this system does exclude uniques such as companions or named NPCs, because, come on... I did edits on 34 voice types as it is! Two for the player and 32 for the NPCs! Can you reasonably ask me to edit hundreds of other voicetypes so you can have your favorite NPC as a client?

I mean, come on... I know you all want Marcy Long and all, but sometimes enough is enough!  And yes, those lines you see Gwenn speaking? Most of them are custom slices of existing dialogue and do NOT exist in the base game, as they do now in CAP.

This subsystem also features it own leveling system that measures your progress of a provider of services. The more you advance, the more caps you can earn.

The system is aware of where you take your clients and the price you will be paid is measured, not only on your level, but also on the location. Is it in a back alley? A settlement? An inn or hotel? Are you rutting on the ground or using an owned/rented bed? There are so many elements involved in augmenting your pay rate, its ridiculous!

This video showcases a completely unlocked provider of services, with all of the options available - yet still being paid pennies! LOL! Oh... if you DO happen to rent a room in an inn or hotel WHILE you have a client with you, the subsystem knows and the client will add the cost of the room to your fees.

I literally think of everything. Except pimps. And bodyguards. Damn it... now I have to go think about that. #FML

About the Solicitation Dress:

I know this will come up. It has come up before in my previous solicitation mod efforts. The dress is for Nora, a tuxedo is for Nate. Are you restricted to this? Not at all! The clothing item you equip is determined by a clothing item located in a formlist. That means, you can create a patch file (or alter this mod in Fo4Edit) to remove that item and put another in it's place. You can even create a slotless wedding ring and put in the formlist, allowing you to wear ANYTHING you want, when soliciting, provided you have the ring on. #ForwardThinkingGoesALongWay

And no, you do NOTtalk to the NPC to solicit them. You don your garb and then press CAPs contextual interaction hotkey - the same one that flips the bird at people or taunts enemies in combat. If a viable client is in front of you, CAP will begin the dialogue sequence on it's own. Its really that simple.

Interesting fact: Crime And Punishment now features over 3600 lines of recorded dialogue! All culled from every available source within the game files. And since there are still a few outstanding items to complete within the mod, that number will most definitely grow past 4000 lines. And that total excludes custom NPCs that are yet to be recorded! It is conceivable that CAP could end up near 5000 lines of dialogue, used in ways that extend your gameplay indefinitely, since CAP is available from game-start, until the moment you stop playing the game forever (or remove the mod).

Speaking of voiced line requirements...

Voice Actresses and Actors!!!

Crime And Punishment is still in need of vocal talent!!! I need:

2 males for Diamond City Security lines.
1 male who can approximate Abbot (the gruff wall painting fellow in Diamond City).
2 males and 2 females for voicing the various Bounty Hunters.

Seven voices total. If you want to be a part of a game-changing experience, please send me a private message! Honestly, you're going to want to be a part of Crime And Punishment. It's likely it might make Mod of the Month, when it releases, sure, but my goal is to aim for Mod of the Year. I want to able to call it "Unofficial DLC #8". Why #8? Because let's face it, Sim Settlements is obviously unofficial DLC #7 and rightfully so!
