Bethesda Level IQ
In the Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall, the player is tasked with finding a component to activate an massive automaton (Numidium) which was built by a civilization that no longer exists (Dwemer). The automaton has the power to reshape the world politically. There are several powerful individuals or factions that want the component to use for their own ends or to activate the automaton. The activation of the Numidium ends the game.
In Fallout 3, there is a massive automaton (Liberty Prime) which was built by a civilization that no longer exists. This automaton has the power to reshape the world politically. One faction already controls this robot, and it renders the player useless.
Rather than being a plot device to make the player say "WOW! This is so badass! I love having nothing to do in the finale!", Liberty Prime could have been the finale. Use whatever factions you want (though I'd recommend using the ideas from @The_Proletarian and Atomic Postman here). Let the Talon company squash the rest, let the Vaults bring their vision of a new world to fruition, or give the heart of Liberty Prime to James to complete Project Purity (as the original game intended or as a means to "cleanse" the Wasteland).
In Daggerfall, Numidium is activated with the Mantella, a magical double-heart McGuffin. I have no idea what would be a decent/interesting device to activate Liberty Prime.
Thoughts?
Improvements? (definitely needed)
(If this is in the wrong forum, please let me know. I tried to pick the one that was the best fit for this.)
