Honestly, my fiance and i would be down to voice Barton Thorn and his girlfriend (for free ofc). not sure how the process would work but im down to try.
Sounds good. I can eventually start to work on creating the new NPC, and the dialogue, but it may not be for some time because I'm currently swamped with IRL stuff and work 6 days a week. I also accidently nuked my MO2 setup recently :\
Please, stay tuned for the long haul, I will create the new female NPC. After creating the new NPC, and getting the mechanics under the hood working correctly for this NPC, I will work on the dialogue for both Barton and his girlfriend.
If I have the time, I could have you revoice Barton's current lines if you feel like it, or if you think you can sound remotely close to Barton you can just voice the new lines.
I'm really inspired lately to do more work. I have ideas for all the Alternate Reality characters where if they survive they could become a companion, or perhaps temporarily follow you around and tag along with your companions, yet not be an actual full companion which you control. Sort of like a squadmate or temporary ally for certain areas / sidequesty things.
Omg that's brilliant, this idea if it can go very far could actually make the fnv's experience very cool, every playthroughts has a lot of variables that are different in every playthroughts, they change the course of events, for example : in the universe A nipton didn't get attacked by the Legion (yet) but in the universe B nipton got destroyed by the legion as we know, more examples can be : universe A the van graffs don't betray the legion but in the universe B they betray the legion as we know
here some major universe ideas that overhaul the entire game (good to use with other mods to make that idea more real) :
Universe A : the master didn't die (use some mods that adds a lot mutants and more locations) Universe B : the enclave is still powerfull, the lone wanderer and the chosen one didn't do s#*! against enclave (maybe they died, maybe they allied with them, choose your own story, good to use with mods that adds old enclave locations) Universe C : house gets the platinum chips in time, a mojave more green with a police force and a very strong mr house
now that i think about it, if i'll do this roll the dice in a script i could spawn mods only in certain time lines and not in others, i'll say it again that's Eureka!, imagine a script with roll the dice feature that adds the monster mod only in certain playthrought and not in others, and you don't even know in what time line it gets added, imagine a script that adds cool locations in the mojave but you don't know if it's active or not, this is just what fallout new vegas missed.
Holy s***, this is one of the most genius mod ideas I've ever seen! Imagine the replay potential if you could apply this to other side quests.
One question: does the alternate universe "die roll" occur the moment you create a new save, or is it decided on the spot the moment Barton Thorn speaks to you? Because I wanna know if you can somehow abuse the alternate realities by reloading before speaking with him.
i can't think of too many quests where this could work, but One for My Baby and The Coyotes would both be interesting candidates for this kind of treatment. i guess you could try it with I Put a Spell On You too but that one seems a bit convoluted.
The dice roll occurs after you kill the last gecko *I think* and enter/leave the trigger area. This means that you can resave before killing the last gecko and it should be random from that point on every time.
