Conversion Request: FOOK2, or at least the Pitt opening part

There's one part of Fallout 3, or at least The Pitt (have I said the Pitt enough yet?) that's so brain-wrenchingly stupid that it makes me want to punch everyone at Bethesda until they promise to stop being t***s; And that's the opening of The Pitt. Specifically the bit where you, Abrams tank-armoured walking munitions dump carrying enough armaments to worry God, get beaten into unconsciousness, totally unable to fight back, by four burly idiots with maybe 23 uncontested IQ points between them armed with sticks - potentially while the HUD is still telling you that you're totally undetected, suggesting that they're just swinging their sticks at air in the hopes they'll hit [i]something[/i].

Now don't misunderstand; It's not the fact that you get disabled and your gear nicked that annoys me as such. It's the fact that this happens in such a stupid way. The only reason it even works is that the game says "No, you're not fighting back or escaping, eat your sticks like a good little panda."

FOOK2 fixed this sequence by changing how the burly idiots disable you - they throw a flashbang at you, the same sort of flashbang as disables you in Vault 87. Converting the whole of FOOK2 to NV might be a bit much, but I'd very much like to see that sequence at least.
