Outskirts

Description:

In hindsight, this is a project that is ultimately aiming to establish major urban expansion around the traditionally insular communities of Megaton and Rivet City, respectfully. I suspect this will be a very long-term project, though in the end we will certainly see a DLC sized mod, complete with new interior and exterior cells, interesting NPCs that you can enable conversation with, quests and companions with at least two player homes.

Megaton is a strategically located settlement, given its geographically central location, one would expect a larger population, though the threat of the bomb was a major concern for potential investors, nonetheless with the assistance of a lone wanderer, an undisclosed hero, the unknown soldier from Vault 101, who gracefully disarmed the warhead in the center of town, made the area within a ten mile radius safe. Now they must make a critical decision, inspire the locals to welcome the migrants, or maintain the cities isolationism and forsaken the newcomers to an unknown fate.

Your words carry a great deal of weight throughout the community, the people of Megaton value your opinion and will ultimately base their decision on your choice alone. This of course, assumes you disarmed the bomb. - This expansion will not be possible until you have completed The Power of the Atom and secured the deed to your Megaton home. After your reward is collected, seek out a Deputy Sheriff by the name of Masterson. Just like with Lucas Simms, Masterson has multiple roles of employment with the town, he is likewise the city clerk and is your key to unlocking urban expansion. Make sure you choose wisely, as deciding against the plot will not permit you to later change your mind, you must pick the correct dialogue in order for the mod to be enabled in-game.

Assuming you decide to rig the bomb for detonation, and blow Megaton up, the mod will not be enabled, this is how I get around having to create a disaster zone, you simply cannot experience Outskirts without disarming the bomb and becoming the hero.

Once the mod hits beta, you'll be able to experience two major quest lines, a moderately sized horror quest I hope to release by October, and finally a dozen or so minor quests, some NPCs will give you jobs, others are merchants with inventories, some NPCs sell information, others only have exposition or perhaps nothing at all.

With a population increase and territorial expansion, the town has sought the need to enlist a well trained and moderately equipped security force, known as the Megaton Militia, who have been placed under the command of a retired Desert Ranger and NCR Army Colonel, Captain Frank Hunter. they are roughly on par with other paramilitary factions in the game, such as the Tenpenny Tower Guards and Rivet City Security, I thought the army green combat armor would suit them well, and establ
