Anchorage Aftermath, An Operation Anchorage Conversion Mod Options

[SubRosa]

I am going to be releasing Anchorage Aftermath soon, and could use a few beta testers, if anyone is interested.

Anchorage Aftermath allows you to travel to Anchorage in contemporary Fallout time, rather than in a simulation. You can reach it via a Vertibird on the flight deck of Rivet City. Completing Operation Anchorage is not required. In fact, Anchorage Aftermath is completely separate from Operation Anchorage. Nothing you do in one will affect the other. However, it is still necessary to have the Operation Anchorage dlc active in your load order, as Anchorage Aftermath uses many resources from it.

My goals in Anchorage Aftermath are to allow you to explore Anchorage without the simulation elements such as health stations, enemies that de-rez when you kill them, and so forth. It plays exactly like any other place in FO3. You can also do it without having to aid the Outcasts, which I can understand many characters might not want to do. Finally, I have been careful to avoid changing anything from the original Anchorage.

Anchorage Aftemath is not a carbon copy of Operation Anchorage however. I have opened up new areas to explore that were previously blocked off. There are also new enemies to fight, human, animal, and robotic. You will be able to find all of the items added by Operation Anchorage, plus a few brand new ones. That includes powered armor, and training in how to use it.

I am almost done. I have created the world spaces, filled the area with interactable objects, added monsters, and so forth. All I have left on my To Do list is to create more navmeshes in areas I have opened up for exploration, and to put in some back story in the form of notes scattered around the area. I also want to figure out what to do with the intelligence briefcases, which I made AA-specific copies of and put in the game world. I am thinking of creating a quest aimed at gathering them all, and perhaps awarding the character with a +1 to Perception.

I could use some help with balancing. Mainly to make sure the monsters are not too numerous and difficult. But also to insure that there is enough ammo and healing in the world. If anyone would like to take a crack at reskinning the Snow Scorpions and Polar Yao-Guai I would be much appreciative as well. The textures I have right now are kind of rough.

If anyone wants to try testing out what I have so far, let me know, and I'll put up my most current version on Dropbox.

Anchorage Aftermath is now available for download on the Nexus.
