I wrote this character & Dialog for the Dialog Competition. I'll add a link to the .fodlg in a later post~
This dialog was written for the Mine Foreman @ NCR, however I left the dialog ambigious enough for it to be used with all Public Mine Foremans. Of serious note, I could not figure out the PID for Iron ore, in the dialog editor there was only PID_ORE2 and no PID_ORE~ so I used PID_ORE2 as a placeholder for Iron Ore ( I hope its not high quality ore)
Career as a Miner
The mine foreman's dialog has been modified to offer a career as a miner to players as an alternative to shit shoveling. Players going to a public Mines will have the opportunity to sell thier raw ore to the Mine Foreman for 30 Caps (which is the best price you'd get for raw ore anywhere, but about half of what you'd get from refining the raw ore..
Buying Mines
I left in the option to buy abandoned mines, but also added in alot of backstory to the character.I am unsure of the mechanics of selling property in the game, so this option needs some work still~ if I had access to the original dialog I'd probably be able to figure it out.
*Buying Sealed Mines*- Might need to be removed
The mine foreman also sells the deed to a sealed mine, Which would be a location somewhere with a "Sealed in Cave Entrance on a Cliff side". I'm sure you've seen the map I'm talking about, with a little bit of Dynomite and the appropriate trap skills you can blow open the entrance to the cave. The mine foreman suggests that there is a random chance that you find a vault in the sealed cave, however I have no intention of that happening. Upon blowing the cave open, you'll find it filled with NPC's: rats, pigrats, Molerats, Deathclaws, Wanimagos, geckos, ghouls, etc etc... there will be no minerals or ore. After clearing it out, you will have an empty cave ~ which you could then sell to the base merchant in Junktown.
Buying Raw Ore and Minerals
The foreman also sells Raw Ore and Minerals in bulk (units of 50) so that players will be encumbered if they don't bring along a brahmin, caravan, or other players to help them transport the material. The price that he sells the raw material at depends on player charisma.
charisma 1-4: 140 per ore
charisma 5-8: 100 per ore
charisma 9-10: 60 per ore
If a player attempts to resell the ore back to the foreman, they will always lose money; one of the many reasons that the foreman sells in bulk.
AND BACKSTORY:
Additionally the foreman has alot of advice and backstory on him about events in the wasteland, your just gonna have to dig in more to his character...
