So in my mod, I'd add a small description of Dr. (Immediately after you reach Megaton, 3 Dog begins announcing having seen "This cat James, good guy!" if you listen to his broadcasts). Moriarty's computer entry in game says that Daddy James asked Moriarty where he could find someone that knew everything going on in the Wasteland (since he'd been underground in that vault for 20 years, didn't know who to go to for intel), and Moriarty sent him to see 3 Dog. The very first place your father went looking for Braun was right there in Megaton - remember he was seen by Moriarty, who writes about seeing your Daddy James in Megaton (it's on Moriarty's computer in a journal right after his descriptions of the Megaton residents). Braun had to work on Project Purity again like he had left off doing 20 years earlier because of your birth. When your Dad (James) left Vault 101, he went seeking that Geck research that Dr. Braun lived in that same Megaton house the Player is given, and it is where Braun developed all the secrets of that virtual realm/mind toying/etc. So the story for the mod would be that Dr. For the purposes of this mod, the person who owned that house before the Player was Dr. History, and how it fits in to it = Lucas Simms tells the Player the Megaton house was abandoned by its owner, who is never named in game. (** There will be no attempts to kill the Player in his home, don't worry, lol). Like Anchorage, Tranquility Lane was a virtual world one had to be in a pod sleeping to reach - but the world was actually very real, you could die by virtual enemies in both Anchorage and Tranquility Lane - so being a virtual realm is a relative thing. The Player has to activate it somehow to gain that virtual realm inside their Megaton home. Braun, but instead of a sleeping pod it IS the pod. Like Tranquility Lane, it is a virtual realm created by Dr. That is exactly how this mod fits right in with lore. Braun used the power of the Geck to create alternate reality/virtual realms where everything appeared perfect without closer inspection. Braun Vault 101, Vault 112, and Tranquility Lane.ĭr. The in game examples of pristine/immaculate condition are all connected to Dr. That means in order for this mod to work, it has to have some reason for being in pristine condition, some explanation for how it got that way (or stayed that way). The problem in Fallout 3 with any mod being too clean like this one is - there is no water to clean up with in Fallout 3, it is all irradiated and what little isn't irradiated is so rare that no one would waste it on cleaning so that makes a clean house feel immersion breaking - too much of a jolt from the rest of the game. Thank you so much Acadian !!! I was pretty sure you wouldn't have known what the vanilla Megaton house looked like - or the Gibson house, for that matter - so went ahead and posted a screen of each base I worked with so you would realize the contrast it was from what it had been, lol. Wow, that looks like some serious renovation and upgrading! This post has been edited by mALX: Feb 6 2015, 05:14 AM I love it! Oh, and also added an upper balcony for some private outdoor relaxation - or some outdoor BBQing!!!! Tables, chairs, benches, some food, etc. Googling crown molding brought exactly what I wanted, so with a bunch of pasting over of Bethesda's textures, here is the finished mod: What I ended up doing was the same thing I did when I redecorated my own home IRL - going through pictures in magazines or online till I found something I could love. It looked much better, but really didn't like the pink striped wallpaper, or that all the rooms looked exactly the same. (By the way, in making this mod I discovered that Bethesda did not match up the interior and exterior for the Gibson house, in fact there is no exterior in their entire inventory that matches the Gibson house! Unfortunately, by the time I learned that I'd already put too much work in on it to change interiors so figured if Bethesda could do it, so could I, lol)Īt first I just removed all the dirt piles and swapped the interior pieces out for some from Tranquility Lane: The interior is the same as the Gibson house's too. So what I did was basically just stick (a copy of) the Gibson house inside the Megaton house for the exterior so it still fits in with the feel of Megaton (see the last three screenshots on the final link below for the exterior screenshots). What I liked best was the feel of a regular family house and basically their structure was intact. I'd always loved the Gibson house in Minefield, and wished we had an option to live in it in fact I usually do till I can get my own place. This is what your Megaton house usually looks like:
