Role-play Start - Ex-Military
Description:
When you first meet your character you are informed that you have only recently become a civilian after serving your time in the military. This I thought was a great point to focus on when immersing myself in to the character. I was ex-military, highly trained and always ready for whatever came my way! However, as most games, you start out useless (perk wise). No training, a blank slate with little to nothing carrying over from your pre-nuke days in the military.
I found this was not immersive, I could not explain why I was not skilled in anything. Did the freezer take my training away? Why did I not get to choose background traits or skills that would define me?
This "Mod" (using the word mod very loosely) helps to fix this unknown lose of past training and experiences by allowing you to immersively (kinda) gain back your past skill and dig up your old military gear to help in your journey.
How you ask? Bat command baby!
Each character has a bat file related to there story. They will allow you to "Dig" up your old cache of weapons and gear. Were you buried it? Only you know.
Below you will find brief backstory's on the characters I have created and suggestions on how to play them. They come with unique perks and gear (nothing to crazy). Each is suggested to be played on Survival as the character will have advantage in set areas. Enjoy!
Quick install/use guide: Download, place txt in your fallout folder where the exe is and the use console command “bat dig” without quotations. This will “DIG” up your old gear and “remind” you of your training. Look on the ground for the armors and weapons as they spawn around you. Endorse?
The Sniper:
You were picked up early in your career because of your seemingly unnatural skill with a rifle. You were placed in a high stress training program which was designed push you to breaking point, teaching you how to hone your skills, how to survive alone and how to thrive with nothing more then your rifle. You stood strong and passed every test that was thrown your way!
You were selected to join an elite squad of fellow snipers who's mission was simple, Enter enemy territory, stay there, kill any enemy's that wander in range and do not die! For 3 years you lived like this, you killed close to 200 enemy combatants and were key in many successful operations.
