Modding question/suggestion (battle arena)

Dux

First time out of the vault
First off, let me say that I have no experience with modding, but I have been following this part of the forum for a long time and I think that this wouldn't be so hard to make (I apologize if I'm wrong or if this has been suggested already, no need to flame me :P)


Anyway, my question/suggestion is:

How hard would it be to make a survival style arena with waves of enemies attacking you?


This is something I like to see in every game and it occurred to me that (to my knowledge) there is no such thing in Fallout 2 (haven't played the first one yet). And I think it would be very fun and challenging 8-) So, what do you guys think? Maybe you would have to leave all your stuff when entering and you would be rewarded with better weapons/armor/stimpacks/drugs as the waves progress? And maybe you get to recruit an NPC every x waves (or you just start with them in the first place), there could be "boss" waves, special waves etc...

And there could be several options:

- one where you start with all your equipment and NPCs but it's harder
- solo mode
- melee only mode
- with and without pauses between waves for healing and such
- many more

The biggest problem that comes to mind is how to revive your characters after inevitable death :D But we can think about that after you tell me if all this is even possible.
 
There was the boxing in new reno and sanfran. You mean something like those on a larger scale?

Well, something similar :) But with more enemies and a larger area, consider it something like progressively harder random encounters, wave after wave. So first wave you could get a small pack of radscorpions or dogs, and later on you get nasty things like centaurs, aliens, enclave soldiers, hordes of well equipped mutants etc.

There will be an arena like that in Mutants Rising.
Players will be able to find it if they listen to NPCs' stories and devote some time to roaming the wasteland 8-)

Awesome! Any release date perhaps? :D

I'm afraid all I can say is that it'll be out when it's done, and it's not done. :(

I would really love to release it tomorrow, but it's just not ready yet.

When I see release dates for anything game related, I always think to myself "Take as long as you need but make it good" :)

Good luck with the mod and keep us informed! Also, it would be nice if you could post here some info about the arena one day ;)

Thank you. "Making it good" is our prevalent philosophy :D

We'll have a newspost before Christmas, but I'll try to knock up some kind of spoiler-free draft design for the Fighting Arena + the related quest and post it here before that. Stay tuned! 8-)
