RandomDude2787 Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Lately I've been experimenting with some of the more 'immersive role play' mods out there and I've come across a couple I really enjoy... for a time. I like seeing my sole survivor drink his whiskey and smoke his Cigar from his sanctuary balcony after a good night sleep and a thorough morning session with piper and curie. But I can't shake the feeling that he could care less if was surrounded by women and luxury or knee deep in death claw dung lol... Then I thought If I was the sole survivor.. Having just lost my home, my friends, my son, my wife and the way of life that I pledged to protect... I'd be pretty damned stressed out and have a really hard time keeping a level head with anything I'm being told or trying to accomplish.. I mean After killing hordes of feral irradiated people, Giant green super men, and raiders hell bent on seeing my insides, I'd likely really REALLY want that glass of whisky, that cigarette, or to see what a roll in the hay 200 years in the future feels like. I mean settlers have their bars and the gym... some of them even have brothels to boost those happiness scores but what about the sole survivor? So I thought I'd put the idea out there in case it hasn't been done/discussed as a feeler to community to see if I'm not the only one who thinks it would be an awesome role play experience to have a "stress" monitoring system that works similar to sleep/hunger/fatigue but far less punishing to the survival player when not managed. My scripting and CK knowledge is limited to enable/disable scripts, changing up some armor mods and making a basic quest with dialogue so forgive me if I'm making this sound overly simple, but I just wrote down how the basic system might function in my mind as a frame of reference. STATES OF MIND: VERY RELAXED CALM STRESSED VERY STRESSED VARIABLE POINT SYSTEM? 0 to -100pts VERY RELAXED 0 to 50pts CALM 50 to 100pts STRESSED 100 to 200pts VERY STRESSED PROS/CONS? VERY RELAXED (I don't know about you guys but when I'm stressed I can't focus and I'm not fun to talk to at all. When I'm relaxed.. I can do no wrong ) +3 PERCEPTION +3 CHARISMA CALM +1 PERCEPTION +1 CHARISMA STRESSED (I threw the Melee buff in there just thinking that if It were me in the commonwealth... I'd be like killmonger taking swatters upside the heads of everything coming at me.) -1 PERCEPTION -1 CHARISMA +1 MELEE VERY STRESSED -3 PERCEPTION -3 CHARISMA +3 MELEE STRESS LVL INCREASE RATE (No Idea if this is considered 'balanced' in relation to how long in game animations run etc... but again just frame of reference.) +8pts Per in game hour... Apprx 13 in game hours to go from calm to very Stressed if not managed +5pts Per Radiated food item consumed (I get stressed out when all I have in my inventory is irradiated food xD) +5pts Per Radiated drink item consumed that doesn't contain alcohol STRESS LVL DECREASE OPTIONS/RATE SLEEP -12pts for every hour of sleep (enough to change a state of mind at 5 to 8 hours) SEX -100pts for the act itself completion (enough to make a significant impact after orgasm) CLEAN EAT -25pts per item CLEAN DRINK -25pts per item SMOKE -30pts per item, taking time to smoke a cigar or cigarette ALCOHOL -30pts per item, A cold brewsky, glass of whiskey and a stogey...Ahhh... SIT -5pts on start, Should apply when action initiated.. (Maybe a 1hr in game time restraint before decrease can be applied again? Sometimes after a workout or an ass whoopin I just need to sit my butt down and wooosahh) Anywho those are my lunchtime thoughts for the day. Hopefully this grabs the attention of this amazing community or some talented and experienced folks out there Cheers!
