Can you add an optional white legs race restoration only?
I just I kinds realized, considering the Sorrows are Mormon-ish it'd be a bit odd to have blacks present in their ranks due to the Mormon take on blacks.
The Sorrows did not start out Mormon. They have their own religion where they worship the "Father" a spirit who supposedly helped them survive after the great war. They are all descended from a group of school children of unknown background, but thy may have interbred with the Dead Horses, who are actually supposed to be Navajo and German descent, despite being 100% Caucasian in the game.
Great idea to give the Honest Hearts tribals more flavor! Downloading so I can make a patch for your mod to allow players to have them running around with HAIR if they want. =P
Well.....IF you read the Wiki about all these tribes it seems the creators were trying to allude that the Zion Valley and Dead Horse Point tribes originated from lost children, employees of & tourists to the National Parks. That is supposedly why their language has traces of "German, Dutch, Spanish, Rez, Navajo and Japanese" in it. <shrugs> IF that were so......interbreeding over the years would probably have resulted in darker races not lighter ones because those genetic traits are naturally dominant. But IMHO, the White Leg's coming from the "area of the Salt Lake" and being "light skinned" doesn't jive too well because a RAIDING culture would be more apt to keep the women from and have offspring with ALL the other tribes/races they absorbed. Unless there was a strict tribal code against it of course. I think it would have been more poetic to have the "White Legs" as strictly dark skinned to allow their war paint to make more of a statement of their identity. I'm sure Obsidian purposefully sidestepped the whole issue of "race war" as it were by making them all generic Caucasian types. Too bad, because IF they were really going to make the effort they should have actually created three separate races that were each unique to the Fallout World in more ways than BALD HEADS, HAIRY HATS, or facial and body tattoos. Just my 2cp.
EDIT - WOOT! I got to be endorsement #1!Great mod!
EDIT 2 - Oops! I forgot to refer you to this mod: "Honest Hearts DLC white legs respawn and npcs stay after finish" by quanster: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/48871/?"
IF you made a patch........
EDIT3 - Snap! I was working on giving ALL the tribals hair and I came upon an interesting thing in the GECK. The WhiteLegs do not use either of the base NPC files designated by "CM" & "CF." So...in effect they must have originally planned to make the White Legs a darker race then changed their minds, and just designated the base "AM" & "AF" NPC's as having the WhiteLegsCaucasian race. You've inspired me to make my vision of this whole situation come to life. Thanks!
There were a few of those AAM and AAMF NPCs for the White Legs, but not as many as the Dead Horses and Sorrow. You may be right about the White Legs, but I'd love to get some more opinions on what the developers' intentions were. I'll be taking a closer look in the GECK here soon.
