Hey guys, this is my first thread so go easy on any hate comments. I'm sorta dedicating this thread to t3nd0's skyre, Frostfall, and Hunterborn(there are many more but I wanna keep it short), mostly because I was beyond impressed with these guys' creativity, skill, and hard work. I have become addicted to these mods and the genre they fit into and ABSOLUTELY NEED MORE! Please add your own requests, comment and expand on others' requests, and you expert modders out their...WE NEED YOU. first off, Frostfall was insane awesome. The dynamic placement of campsite items is the first I've seen and it works so well that I feel like it was made specifically because I was so frustrated with other similar mods. Even better was the backpack. I really wanna see more things like this. which brings me to my requests: 1. Due to the extremely unrealistic(though somewhat necessary) carry system, I hoped there would be more of this dynamic display of carried items. An example is if I had Hunterborn and am carrying a couple of rabbits in my inventory, It would be extremely awesome if I could see them hanging on my belt. Another example could be if I have a bunch of potions, they show up on my bandolier from the bags and bandoliers mod. 2. Another thought is more trans-mod ( I'm making this a word, go with it) creations. If I have undeath (another awesome mod) I want to see some awesome mods that work with it. Example: Lich armor!!. plain and simple. Would that not be freaking awesome. I could go on, but these are the things I've desperately wanted to see and this is already a long intro so I'm gonna stop here. You guys let me know if you agree, add in your own ideas, and please make these things happen. I'm sure I'm not the only person who is thinking this this so help me out.

Will RDR2 have a codewalker or a map builder to create a world? Creating and molding terrain (mountains, plains, rivers, canyons...), making forests and landscpapes, building farms, towns, cabins.... With all those possibilities I think there would be lots of creative people who certainly would make beautiful things such as I. Just by imagining that realism (volumetric light, volumetric clouds, incredible weather, volumetric snow and mud, people and the life they bring to the game, amazing animals and plants, high-quality terrain and trees...) would be a dream come true. I am not talking about map editor wich is based on placing props. GTA5 have codewalker wich can be used to do most of the things I have refered earlier and RDR2 now on PC should have the same programs or similar.

So out of nowhere while thinking about The Frontier, a concept for my own Fallout "expansion"/quest mod came to my mind, one regarding the capitol of Caesar's Legion. This is not a mod request, neither is it an "announcement" of some sorts, just an idea I've been making up in my head for the past few days I wished to share to see, whether people would even like such a setting. Who knows, maybe I will bother trying to pick up GECK or maybe someone will decide to put this into physical form. The idea of this mod is to give Caesar's Legion justice, but without straight up rewriting them or turning them "progressive" like they did in The Frontier. You're supposed to be witness the civilian life of Legion and why many people would trade away their freedom and rights for a dictatorship that protects them and leaves them mostly alone (as described by JSawyer). It would take place in Flagstaff and it's surrounding areas. Flagstaff being almost half the map, constructed out of adobe sand stone and massive walls (it's supposed to give you an OG fallout - esque aesthetic with a Shady Sand like look), and the rest being an empty wasteland alongside some lesser towns. A big focus of this faction would be characters ; I've done some thinking and realized, that honestly outside of companions (which are bare boned), NPCs are never seen as proper characters, but just as quest givers (at least from my perspective). You never feel connected or become friends with these NPCs or in general never get too close with them like in other RPGs (such as Cyberpunk, Witcher, and other RPGs). This mod would focus on having those "little moments" with NPCs that make you go "Wow, I want to sit with this guy forever and just chill with him." The mod takes place right before the 2nd battle of Hoover Dam, the last quest before the ending of the game gets delayed, forcing a rather "cold war esque phase" between the NCR and Legion, waiting for the other to act first (which is the Legion anyways). Depending on the side you take, NCR/House/Independent or Legion, you get a complete different story line in the mod which takes you to Flagstaff. The Legion Route Playing as the Legion, you're getting told that the Courier has done all he could before the battle, - and that the only thing that remains is to wait for Lanius' Legion to fully arrive. However there was trouble brewing within Legion's borders, - slaves beginning to rise up and vassals beginning to break their allegiance en masse. With only a single centurae remaining in Flagstaff, the Legion is threatened to be eaten from inside out. Caesar, not able to spare a single centurae to go back to Flagstaff, instead hires the Courier to aid in extinguishing what he believes is an NCR funded and caused rebellion. He also calls it a "reward" to the Courier for being of service to the Legion, allowing them to witness "Civilization" in it's beauty. As the Courier arrives, they can tell it is completely different to the Mojave Wasteland. - The lands were safe to travel through with no creatures such as super mutants or raider gangs in sight. They can also tell, that the people are mostly content and embrace slavery as a casual and every - day thing. Ther aren't too many Legion forces, most of them being deployed deeper within Flagstaff and used as guards of the capitol. - Towns and the desert are patrolled and protected by their own soldiers and militias. These militias are loyal to Legion, are funded and supported by Legion, - however are not officially part of their army. The Courier has to work tightly with the Centurion and Optio(Second in Command), who were left in charge of protecting Flagstaff while Caesar's Legion was pushing into the Mojave. The focus of this route will be to get to know the Legion better, to get to know the characters - how and why they think the way they do. Again, the whole purpose of this route is not to justify slavery, dictatorship or to rewrite the Legion into "the good guys", it's an attempt at making the player think from the perspective of someone who lived in the apocalypse, who would be willing to accept that these things may be neccessary for the bigger picture. The Rebel Route The Rebel Route would begin with you getting approached by a completely "new" group, that the Courier hasn't met before. A group of former Desert Rangers, that refused to join up with the NCR or deserted due to Lee Olivers incompetence as a leader. They offer you the opportunity to help them in crippling and sabotaging the Legion from within in hopes to weaken them during the battle of Hoover Dam, - or straight up force the Legion to retreat, even if they happen to win the second battle. The Courier would have to smuggle himself in as slave by sneaking into a Legion camp that was preparing slaves to get shipped to Arizona (Inspired after The Pitt, obviously). There, the Courier would view Flagstaff from the perspective as a slave before getting in contact with Desert Rangers that managed to infiltrate Flagstaff and cause disarray and rebel uprisings throughout Arizona. You would notice, how most the slaves and Desert Rangers are female, as most male slaves were being force conscripted or dead. Afterwards, the Courier would have to spent most their time in Flagstaff trying to "expose" the monstrosities and terrorism to the population, aswell as try to motivate and organize tribal slaves into resisting and fighting back. I've got plenty of more stuff planned, but for now I'll stop here. Feel free to tell me why it's bad/sucks or whatever.

Will RDR2 have a program or a world builder to create a world? Creating and molding terrain (mountains, plains, rivers, canyons...), making forests and landscpapes, building farms, towns, cabins.... With all those possibilities I think there would be lots of creative people who certainly would make beautiful things such as I. Just by imagining that realism (volumetric light, volumetric clouds, incredible weather, volumetric snow and mud, people and the life they bring to the game, amazing animals and plants, high-quality terrain and trees...) would be a dream come true. I am not talking about map editor wich is based on placing props. GTA5 have codewalker wich can be used to do most of the things I have refered earlier and RDR2 now on PC should have the same programs or similar. I have also heard that openIV is not yet ready for RDR2 and when it becomes available maybe huge mods like this will become possible like in Fallout, Skyrim and GTA.
