Fallout 3

So, now and again someone asks me about this mod... When is it going to be updated next? When are the quests going to be finished? Can you add this feature? Can you add support for this mod?

Things along those lines.

As I have done some work on this particular mod recently, I thought I'd make use of the mod article feature to update people on its progress. Especially as I have begun work on the quests (having implemented 6 so far), which effectively means until they are all done, I can't release an update of the mod. Otherwise people will begin playing the quests only for that story thread to abruptly end. Plus, as you go along, you end up changing things you've already implemented to make it all fit together so as to create a balance to play. Especially when you are adding quests that have to work with existing vanilla game content, including other quests.

So yes, I have been working on a new update for this mod to move it from a beta to a proper release -- meaning, you get to play a butt-load of new quests. However, I have decided that I will be focusing on getting the main (primary) thread of quests added that revolve around the Outcasts and which effectively provides an alternate path to completing the majority if not all of the game. So the secondary soda-pop king quests and the tertiary assassin contract quests are at least on hold until these are done as the mod features along with primary thread of quests is taking a lot longer to get done than I hoped.

Even with putting a limit on new features I (and others) want to add and focusing on getting what is implemented finished off and polished -- especially revisiting some of the early stuff I implemented and reworking it. The next update will take a while due to the quests which requires the writing of dialogue, modifying of locations (and the creation of some new ones), and, A LOT of playtesting to make sure it is as bug free as I can get it.

Hopefully all the effort will be worth it in the end.

    What you have posted is very interesting but what is the mod to which you are referring?

      Ha, I assumed if I posted an article for my mod via the mod's page then it would be clear what mod it is for. I guess that is somehow lost with the forum thread post.

      The mod is: F3Redux -- Fallout 3 Redux
