EDIT: If you are working on this mod, please respond using this thread instead of Divide Expanded. DevinPatterson has his own plans and I don't want to get in the way. **SPOILERS AHEAD FOR LONESOME ROAD DLC** ___________________________________________________________________________ I was thinking of how Ulysses talked about how he missed the homeland the courier inadvertently destroyed, and I thought it would be neat if that homeland could be brought to life. This doesn't need to be a big mod. all I ask is for you to add some generic NPCs to the divide. like, Divide settlers, Divide merchants, Divide guardsmen (I think it would be neat if the guards had the riot armor.) stuff like that. preferably respawning. settlers and guard can sandbox, but I think the merchants should patrol the roads. they should probably get some guards. EDIT: most of the ideas in this particular post don't have much lore or extra fluff beyond basic requirements. this is because I want to increase the chances of this project being completed. if you want to do this mod but need some lore reasons, reply to the post and I will explain what could be done for that. of course, you could just look in the posts below, but thats a bit disjointed and makes more sense summarized. the absolute, bare mininum: create a couple dozen npcs labeled settler, give them some weapons, and place them around the divide. Optional: Ruler of the divide who wears old U.S. General armor. placing flags with a white star and circle on a green background. (the locals have adopted the symbol as their standard.) Quests. wearing any riot armor allies you with Divide settlers. killing Marked Men/Tunnelers makes the settlers respect you. named NPCs. new areas with towns. some other factions. even more optional: I think it would be interesting to have a new faction separated from the "bear and the bull." while the basic goal mentioned above is all I really want, the potential for an even bigger mod afterward is very great. You could start with a small amount of hardy settlers and complete quests to start new towns and earn the respect of the people, maybe even becoming the leader, or at least a respected community member. there could also be generic followers that can be killed, but respawn. like, in the barracks, you could find ten "Divide Soldiers" that you could recruit and lead out into the Mojave to attack your enemies. you could also have options to make peace with different factions and try to keep up with their demands. maybe some trading could be set up. Like, you can trade with the NCR for advanced tech and medical supplies in bulk to add to the town supplies, or you could trade with the legion to get slaves that will allow you to build new towns and complete construction quests faster. the guards and soldiers could be expanded on as well, you could complete quests and such to upgrade them. I imagine they start out with weak merc outfits, but you can upgrade them to progressively stronger riot armors, eventually culminating in the guard and soldiers equipped with elite riot armor. all of these are super optional. If you just make the bare bones of the mod, I'll be happy. if you have any questions, just post them below and i will answer as best as I can.
