    Just a reminder that your work is great and your eye for theme and visual storytelling is worth being proud of. I hope the years end treats you well Diode.

      Thank you so much for such a kindhearted message, Yahvahzen, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your words.  I haven't been visiting here for the past month or so, and only just saw your message.  I don't know if you'd see my late reply, but I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and very happy holidays!  :-)

    Looking good! If you want more ideas for modifications, take a look at the Franchi LF-57, an Italian SMG very similar to (and possibly an inspiration of) the MPL.

      Thank you very much, Bob!  :-)

      I have actually looked at both Franchi LF-57 and Berreta PM-12 as options, but in the end I've settled on the idea that the Triggerman headed by Carboni (the new boss) would be using non-Italian weapons, to show symbolically that these guys are straight up traitors to the neighborhood.  North End will be fighting back with Italian weaponry, on the other hand.  This is going to be a war between North End and Triggerman.

      Skinny Malone was a protector/king to the neighborhood, but after he got taken out by certain someone, Carboni starts to rule North End with very different terms.  I want this to be a consequence of what happened at Vault 114, and a chance to learn more about Malone retrospectively.

      ...Those are my ideas at the moment.  I hope all this will work out as well as I am thinking.  :-)

      This concept keeps getting more and more interesting. I like the symbolism!

      Sliding in the convo about the Italian weapons, a classic from the 70s onwards, that was used by the military but has also been used by various criminal organizations, was the AR70/90 along with his predecessor AR70/223
      The .223 (which is american unit for 5.56x45) is very similiar to a classic SIG Sauer assault rifle form factor (since Beretta actually worked with SIG to create the SIG 530), and the 90 is basically an upgrade made in the late 80s, so this can be the base of a modular weapon!

      There's a mod here on the nexus, quite well made but it's 2 years old and doesn't have leveled lists, think about it!

      HectorShiroi, I've actually made something along that line :


      This rifle FA-556 (imaginary gun) is basically a combination of Armalite AR-100 concept, Beretta AR-70/90, and Armalite AR-18, but I've made it look like it was made for an 80s movie.  The iron sight is from SIG SG550 :


      Would this do?  :-)

    you know there's already an MPL mod on the nexus? Hopefully yours has unique stats, attachments etc to make it special from the other one

      Hello uedftus,

      You could take a look again at mine and that one more closely, and hopefully you'd see some differences.  Thanks for stopping by.  :-)

      Hello tallowcatch, thank you very much for this info! 

      I was not aware that there already was an MPL for Fallout 4.  :-/  I would have to check out that mod.  Thank you so much for your offer!  :-)

    Been following your project and I keep getting more excited every time I see some updates. This is something that I wished the Fallout story had more content of, so I thank you for your efforts.

      Thank you so much sullyivan!  I really appreciate your support.  :-)

      I've always liked how Bethesda did town locations and factions in their past games, and I think Fallout 4 needed more of that type of contents.  North End project would not be as big as the DLC sized projects, but hopefully expanding stories in Boston will add more fun to the game.  :-)

      Thank you very much, RangerAtwood!  :-)

      I think Triggerman lore is an interesting one to expand on, being a local faction.  I still have lots of work ahead, but hopefully it will turn out good.  :-)
