When I play TTW, I find myself missing the ranger/riot gear. To remedy this I had the idea of a more urban/policy looking version of the riotarmor, same duster but darker/black and replacing the torn jeans with some sort of leatherpants with shinguards and to top things off, removing the helmet and adding the police hat complete with riot gasmask ofc.
Any talented armormakers feel like taking a shot at this?
I like this idea for a mod.
We know that riots broke out at least a full decade before the Great War (in Denver, according to VB) because of food shortages/rationing and continued across the country right up until the 23rd of October. It wasn't just in Canada that forces would have been deployed to stave off protestors and mobs, and so it's definitely in keeping with lore that a variant of the riot-gear would probably have been used by the national guard or someone else on the E. coast.
Just my two cents: the duster has a distinctly 'Western' appeal and is actually functional when it comes to moving around in - obviously - dusty, windy, desert places. The pre-war riot gear underneath may be the only thing which is found in DC because, come on, besides the Regulators who wears dusters E. of the Mississippi?
You should take a look at Geonox's Restored Riot armor mod for NV. http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/39625/?
It may remove the duster, but the armor comes in different colors, and has a light version, which includes pants like what you described.
Funny, I found the exact same after reading this post. The naked armor looks all too much like commander Shepard's N7 gear.
Geonox's armor looks really good, but as you said a bit too "naked" I think it needs a jacket or duster :)
One option would be some sort of retex on Tobars army jacket from Point Lookout, or maybe just keep it army-green
The only problem i have with the one is that its for Roberts custom body, Id like to keep it "vanilla" :) and I think it needs to look a bit bulkier with a jacket on it. Not saying that it isnt a very nice looking piece of armor though. What i was hoping for was more or less the look of the ranger/riot armor, but more urbanized and fitting in the Washington wasteland.
