Raiders of the Commonwealth (spoilers)

[GimmeBACON]

Before anybody points out Nuka-World is a raider faction DLC, I don't really like how before it, you're essentially a "good guy" getting that out of the way...

 

Probably nothing going to come from this, but I thought to myself, somebodies going to eventually create a raider faction mod, so why not brainstorm? Things like available quests that you can do once you join them, immersive ways to join them, and times in the game where you could have sided with them.

 

Just a start, some quests could go like...

• The most obvious start would have been siding with the raiders at the Museum of Freedom, make them neutral to you and have one of the raiders give you the option to go in there and kill Preston, allowing you to choose whether or not to do so.
• After the quest Thicket Excavations, maybe Sully Mathis is appreciative that you helped him, and offers you a spot in his group.
• During the quest Out of the Fire, you can side with Slag... seeing as how, depending on how you talk to him, he thinks you may actually be worth his time.
• Find proof that Lily Tourette is dead and either bring it to her sister; allying with the Federal ration stockpile, or kill them for Tower Tom and the Beantown Brewery.

I don't think all raiders in the Commonwealth should turn friendly to you, just the groups with named leaders. Quests could be similar to, and even intertwined with Nuka-World quests.

 

I hope this open forum actually gets some conversation going, and may even help modders out there.

-tumbleweed passing- Well, I'm going to throw some more ideas out there... chime in if you want. 

 

• The combat zone has already been restored, maybe link the raiders in the CW to your fightclub achievements?
• Maybe a raider radio station, with some royalty-free aggressive metal/punk rock, and a voiced DJ that comments on the area and faction interaction... Raid-E-O

Super old, and clearly no interest but... fuck it.

 

• Betting on the "ponies" at East City Downs.
• Get captured by "Zeller's Army" and prove your worth to them.

These are good ideas, don't let me dissuade you.  In my personal opinion - quest/faction mods on the scope of what I would LIKE to see for something like this, are well beyond the time commitments of what I have available.
