Goal ideas: Fallout 4

So I was talking to a friend at work, and we've got some big plans for a mod. Here's the thing though, we can't really even get started until Bethesda gives us the FO4 GECKO. FO4edit isn't nearly enough for what we've got in mind. We've got an ambitious project set to take place in West Virginia, after the war. I've started my initial research, however. I've gone over some satellite imagery of WV, getting an idea for the way the land is. Our goal is to start with how it is today and guess how it might have looked in 2077, add in a few of the Fallout universe specific companies to take over the locations of every similar place as possible with the exception of WV specific areas like Tudors and Appalachian Power. Throw in a couple of obvious bosses, add in the main college FB teams (we don't have any pro),

We're also looking into WV specific gear and transportation. Instead of having to build the equivalent distance of Charleston to Beckley, we're looking at using the existing transport system, with the newer FO style buses, to go from main city to main city, although we might try adding a few stops such as Marmet or Cabin Creek. Take it for granted that this isn't everything we want to do, there's a series of quests we want to implement that make the FO4 main quest look small, we're also wanting to do better options for good/evil/sarcastic than the main game. So if you are talking to the mayor and pick the good option he'll say something positive, or if you pick the bad option you aren't getting the same dialogue. One other thing we've been thinking about is a Children of Atom quest line.

So these are a few of the ideas we've discussed, and as you can see it's fairly ambitious. Add in that there's trees pretty much all over WV, including IN the capitol city, and it's chalk full of win. We're wanting to add in pine trees and greenery. Look, even if WV were nuked it used to be a rain forest (and who'd care enough about us to nuke us anyway?) and would be a low priority target. We're assuming we got at least one, thinking about a radioactive Corridor G maybe, or perhaps up near the airport on Greenbrier (there's at least an AF base up that way). If you have thoughts, by all means I'd love to hear your ideas! Just keep in mind we can't even start until Bethesda finally gives us the GECKO.
