More detailed draft storyline:The European Commonwealth, by 2277 is:- Primarily a British organisation, with various refugees from other nations. It is composed of city states.
- An openly fascist and oligarchic state, but nevertheless "democratic" in some respects.
- Politically a mixture of Republican Rome, Nazi Germany and Imperial Britain.
- Power armour is a new concept to them, the EC was behind the US technologically before the Great War.
- The EC is currently more technologically advanced in other areas, such as stealth technology and protection against radiation & other hazards.
- The EC is a small and reclusive nation, with illusion of Romanesque grandeur
- The nation has a high regard for science and academia, it does not share the BoS's superstitious beliefs in technology as a religion, nor is it naturally prejudiced against ghouls.
- The EDA outpost the player will encounter is a military and scientific outfit sent to acquire technology, information and resources by the Consilium. The outfit is commanded by a Praetor with Consular power.
Faction alignment:
Neutral:
- Ghouls
- Wastelanders
- Brotherhood of Steel
- Enclave
- Vault dwellers
Enemies:
- Raiders
- Any force of anarchy
Plot & storyline ideas:1. The establishment of diplomatic relations, the European Commonwealth (EC) need to decide which factions represent the true voice of America - if that is possible at all. Perhaps the player can convince the EC of the merits of a particular faction (Enclave, BoS) or persuade the EC to try and establish their own dominance in the area. The player might act as a local guide for the foreign EC commander.
2. The further physical establishment of the EC.
3. The player finds worthy tasks for the EC forces... from making friends with Super Mutants to invading Paradise Falls... many possibilities.
4. Initiation of the player into the European Defence Agency task force.
5. Gathering of advanced technology (like you havn't heard that one before!)
6. The excessive use of Monty Python references and high brow humour.Rough story:
- British wind up claiming themselves to be the new European Commonwealth, preserve themselves rather well throughout the war, but emerge as a rather low-key fascist state.
- A lot changes, but not anything that would affect the outside world.
- The Brits & refugees (calling themselves the European Commonwealth), come to America to acquire advanced technology and resources... Britain has maintained it's ability to use nuclear-fission technology, but it has so far failed to duplicate nuclear-fusion from samples found in Europe.
- The journey to America is made via a nuclear-submarine full of troops and scientists.
- They use a network of secret submarine tunnels leading to an underground base built by an eccentric billionaire where the Brits set up their base of operations.
- In comes Wasteland Wonderboy.
I will need models, textures and voice-actingI can't voice act everyone, and I am crap at modelling... although I know a master modeller who might help out when needs be
