Sierra Faction.
« on: September 09, 2011, 03:55:01 pm »

Like the Followers Of The Voice from Gamma World.

You have to bring materials and equipment as "sacrifices" to maintain membership and rank.

Rank gives access to blueprints, crafting bots (which can also convert materials to alloys, Gunpowder, etc.), robot followers.

Rank deteriorates without frequent sacrifices.

Everyone hates Sierra. Joining is -3000 Rep with ALL factions, and never goes lower than -300.
That's what you get for being a SkyNet Collaborator.

Also, part of Rank is killing rival faction members.
To achive the highest ranks, you must kill VC patrol members, Enclave, and Brotherhood.
Also, must regularly raid Caravans.

Best ranks/special bonuses require being tagged to a Raid group that kills the NPC Leader of an NPC Faction- Linnette, Tandi, Shi Emperor's Spokesman, Enclave Base Commander, General Maxson.

Also, the Joining Quest is a version of the Glow Quest from the Brotherhood in Fallout 1.
You have to deliver a holotape to the Glow AI.

The Sierra Faction does not have Town Control- it has a Decimation Mode that involves killing all inhabitants of a town.
This changes respawn on the NPCs of the town to random 5-15 minutes. Keeping them ALL DEAD for an entire 1 Hour period (you have a timer to kill them when they respawn) causes Blood Trophies to appear in the TC box. These are RadAway items (re-use the graphic) with palette switched to RED.
These trophies are "Sacrificed" to SkyNet for Rank points, special items, etc. (Faction Store?)

Much more evil and difficult than being a Raider.

Items can be stored at Sierra by turning them over to the Robot Quartermaster.
Need to donate 1 EP per transaction (timed as per barter window, use the EP to "pay" for your own items- indexed using accouunt number with code recycled from the banking system). Max storage is equal to 2 lockers.

So, what do you think?

Id definitely want to play that faction. LIKE A BOSS faction, huh? The plot however bugs me - wasnt Sierra USAs military base sort of? If yes, they wouldnt kill innocent people and be hated. Other than this your idea is very nice.

The SkyNet AI is in Sierra.
In Fallout 2 SkyNet just wanted a robot body so it could explore the world.

In 2238 perhaps SkyNet could be insane.

SkyNet was named after the computer in the Terminator series.

I quite like this idea, even if i dont get why the sacrifice thing, while maybe SkyNet just wants supremacy of robots (extermination of organicals, or use them as slaves). Maybe as a reward players might become robots, or obtain bionic enhancements, rather than robot followers.

Ahh... i miss that little bastard friendly assassin droid. :'(

The "sacrifices" are a mechanism to keep the faction members productive, and an RP element to explain where Sierra gets its resources.

(Aside from the resources already stockpiled there. More)

Oh. Understood ;)
Maybe instead of a generic "sacrifice" (sound more a thing from Chaos Space Marine) you could "donate items" or "strenghten the robot army".

Maybe we can have Chaos faction with availability of purple spiked power armours and bloodletter daemon companions. xD
