Some ideas for Gameplay I need to dump

[Dojo_dude]

So, my current character is too powerful for her own good.

 

Here are my ideas for some gameplay elements that could be made.

 

- Enemy grenade that auto ejects you from your power armor.

- Enemy that reduces your fusion core charge.

- Blackmail of your settlers, or main characters that leads to your PC being the victim

 

- NPC's held hostage, making you surrender or pay caps.

- Of course the parasite Power Armor, but that never came to fruition.

- Your own settlers, selling you out to Raiders/Gunners.

- Animated tentacles trapped Power Armor?

- Enemy stun batons, ala Fallout 3 aliens!

 

REALLY out there ideas

- Turn the player into a swinging meat bag outcome [Super Mutants]

- Mutations, ala Centaurs that are permanent [load older save]

 

UPDATE-
Forgot to add, doors or chests that only unlock once your PC has used a tentacle or accept Cursed Loot.

Willpower loss - Attributes: Looking at [looting] Swinging mutilated meat bags causes some willpower loss.
This should affect the players mindset/ make them fear Super Mutants.

End of year BUMP

I noticed in Fallout 4, we don't have nearly as many or, any? Quest that "gas" or knockout the player.

+1 For the player blackmail by Raiders idea. If you do not give caps or goods, then they execute your Settler. Maybe even a Companion!

On Paralysis grenades, I have created a mod that adds these types of grenades to Super mutants [in addition to M84 Flashbang mod] and some Raiders like that boss, the Preacher[?]

Another thing is using a mod from Nexus called Anti-PA Gun, to make a Landmine that locks you out of your power armor for a duration [with EMP effect for visuals].
Can lead to some tense situations.

TLDR: Need more gassing player quests and blackmail.

- Of course the parasite Power Armor, but that never came to fruition. 

Did you see 

 with its tentacle trap (its a bit buggy right now) and the trapped/trappable power armour ?  

 also Provocative perks has a Power Armour perk as well 
 

- Enemy stun batons, ala Fallout 3 aliens! 

If you install Combat Strip Lite and play in 3rd and set your unequip rate high (assuming you arent in power armour) you'll get knockback whenever you lose a piece or clothing/armour, and melee knockback with 2-3 enemies like feral ghouls swining around can be a really rough /harrowing experience.  

 

 

If you're finding the game too easy (I understand 100%, I just never use Power Armour because of it except to do a zone near where the suit is, then I walk it back to the nearest settlement and let it gather rust, also I get tired of hearing the sound of it) get something like Dynamic Loot Reduction by SKK (nexus) and just drop the findable world loot to 25% or something, get Game Configuration menu or a different mod and make venders sell items for more and buy for less, maybe some Power Armour mods that change the drain-speed of the fusion cores?

 

Maybe PANPC from Greslin on Discord so the AI is a little bit sneakier and may actually ambush you plus it can duplicate/clone/upgrade/downgrade some enemies as well so its not the exact same enemies in the same areas every time, Combat Stalkers again by ZKK, NPCs Travel (watch for the versions and compatibility with this one) I think can also spawn mobs of enemies and Neutrals and Friendlies on the road for more oveall action as well.  

 

The Skadi/Female Supermutant Mod here also seems to make Super Mutants stronger as well, but that may be a combination of mods I have going.

 

 

REALLY out there ideas

- Turn the player into a swinging meat bag outcome [Super Mutants]

 

The bad end animation pack has some pretty harsh deaths, but nothing like that. 

it can be paired with AAF Violate and doesnt necessarily need to be fatal

 

 

 

""I noticed in Fallout 4, we don't have nearly as many or, any? Quest that "gas" or knockout the player.""

 

I havent seen any, Pervert will move your character to a different building for some or all scenes apparently, DD Enchantings uses a gas/paralyse effect to KO the player and equip a DD item onto them.

 

Also I'm sure you know that Sex Harassment has blackmail but it only goes as far as the player character, the Raider Pet mod/questline kind of begins with a blackmail note to "come alone to protect your town" as well I believe.

I was just trying to provide alternatives really.

Starfield is like that. Lots of ideas that died because the creator losing interest in the game.

Actually, I have a mod that I haven’t released because I don’t know the rules of this forum. It’s based on a model from https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/user911002/media — but that author never turned their power armor into a proper mod. So I used their files to replace Angel’s power armor. I didn’t polish it much and I don’t know how to make proper mods, so it’s really rough. I don’t know if I can post it here（The connection area of the neck has actually been repaired. The screenshot shown here is the original version.）

 

Back to the main point: my idea is similar to the game TENTACLES INVASION. The tentacles would appear inside the power armor. My ideas are mostly similar to the post from that user above, but my skills are limited. So I can provide this power armor as a base framework.

 

Well, it’s obvious that the game’s popularity has been fading. Even in its prime, it was never anywhere near as big as Skyrim. It’s really disappointing for players like me who love this game more.

 

I found that post last year too, but unfortunately it never took off, and nobody capable has made it. If this mod could be finished, I believe it could stand up to the parasite mods for Skyrim.
