not a conversion mod

i was thinking a quest mod that ties the two wastelands together and takes you from the role of the lone wanderer to the role of the courier. yes i get that it's not "lore" and that the time frame does really work. it's just my first thought as a kind of cross-over quest. im my mind i see the lone wanderer getting a quest from someone to do a courier job nv. nothing better to do, you head out on the train. the first time you cross worlds the FNV begining clicks and you find yourself with memory loss. remembering nothing of the time spend in NV thus for (in this way the time line could work). Now in NV with no memory of where the train dropped you off not only are you trying to remember or history in NV, your doing the basic FNV story line and trying to figure out how to get back to your home in DC. just thinking out loud here. tell me your thoughts...

TTW already starts the NV questline automatically (and passes several years) when you first travel to Vegas from DC.

... parts of your idea almost line up with how it works in TTW. You should give it a shot and see what you think.

Yeah the only thing your idea has that isn't already in TTW is a quest pointing you at the train. In TTW you just stumble on it and take a ride.

It might be nice to get a small prompt. Did we end up going with the train being guarded by Enclave at the DC end? If so, a small DLC like prompt after we finish BS would make sense. Some enclave chatter, and a map marker on the pipboy.

lol... so your saying is i should wait till i get there before spouting my ideas... and you'd be right, sorry just got excited with all the possiblities that TTW offers. i just haven't gotten that far. haven't has the chance to play much i'm still in magaton trying out different mods. i am loving FO3 on the FNV game engine.

Maybe integrate this mod after the "9 years later" scene: http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/46585/?

It's the "cut" opening sequence from New Vegas and I think it looks better than the opening video when playing TTW

That would most likely not be integrated into TTW (though I'm admittedly not the person who makes rulings on things of this nature) due to it changing NV in a way that's not necessary for the games to play nice together. However, if it could be made to work properly with TTW and not introduce issues it would be a cool mod to have.

The only issues I have with it is that it forces you to start in NV ( at least I think it was this one) and if you have any companions with you(I had Fawkes) they kinda break the immersion of it...

Both issues are easy to work around. for the first, just don't activate the mod until after you start a new game. for the second, fire any companions before you hop on the train for the first time.
