No idea if the author is checking up on the file, but, there is one thing I think people might be interested in. I wouldnt mind the Talon ambushes were REDUCED, not removed entirely. I dont know how to script but, if it could be modified to either a (lower) fixed %, or perhaps differing tiers one could select to their liking, ie ultra-rare rare, medium etc. Myself, I think I would be happy with a 10% or maybe 16% (1 in 5 or 1 in 6) chance tops. Not sure what it is atm, but it feels like 80%+ change to spawn those idiots.
The in game logic for these attacks is very weak. If you have a good reputation, someone pays for endless waves of mercs to take you out for....what reason exactly? People can understand bounties on criminals, murderers, raiders etc, but, it is harder to find people willing to pay for assassins' to take out someone just because they gave some water to a begger or helped some homeless waif find a place to live. In my current game, TTW, I just start getting ganked by those like every other playthrough out of left field. What did I do in universe exactly to warrant these attacks? No frikn idea.....
The mercs are upset because I am that goody two shoes from the vault. Why would care enough to try murder me for it, is anyones guess.
Its a really bad mechanic not just because it is annoying AF, but, its a money tree as well since you can farm those idiots and their gear endlessly. Nor, after all these years, have i found a legit way in game to stop the attacks besides going neutral which, again is bad gameplay and writing. Even wiping out the Talon HQ does not end the attacks, and you kinda think it would........
downloading this right now. ugh. just walked in and out of a building? talon company! just left a shop? TALON COMPANY. trying to do a quest? TALON COMPANY! ill never understand how whatever moron over at bethesda said "hey you know what would be a GREAT mechanic? if we constantly spawn leveled enemies with top tier for that level loot, right on top of the player every time they leave any building" still has a job, but they clearly do based on how often bethesda makes these anti-fun decisions.
is there a mod like this that gets rid of the enclave spawns? I'm so damn tired of constantly getting into firefights with them whenever I'm within 100m of one one their FOBs, which is a real pain considering i cant throw a rock without hitting some dude in advanced power armor.
I don't want to remove Talon Company ambushes from the game.
However, the fact that I'll -still- get jumped by them outside the Super-Duper Mart before even reaching level 10 is pretty annoying, so I may just have to pick this one up.
This is gonna sound completely random and counter-intuitive but would it be possible for you to make a mod that includes females in the Talon Company spawns? I'm tired of fighting the same 2 character models over and over again.
No I totally get that. I've had a quick look in the GECK and it should be possible. Of course the hit squad leader will have to remain as male for the voice lines to work, but I can limit which type of Talon member can spawn as the leader and that should fix it. I'll have a play, test it out and get back to you.
Thanks, even if it bugs out somehow and ends up being a dead-end, I appreciate the reply and a future follow up. Personally I love the ambushes though so it'd be great as a separate optional/stand alone file.
