Mesa Verde design document / 3 This is part 3 of the Mesa Verde design document for " Van Buren " , the canceled " Fallout 3 " by Black Isle Studios . Scripting . General . If the PC poisons the Viper food supply , most of them will be dead a day later . The leader and a couple of other guys will survive . If there is a Brotherhood - Cipher alliance , then a few Brotherhood soldiers will show up and hang around the Cipher village . They ' re not necessarily Power Armor guys – just regular soldiers . There will need to be a script where the Viper leader becomes aware that not all is right when the PC kills a certain number of Vipers without being caught . Once the PC completes the " Restock the Molerat Caves " quest , there should be a bunch of molerats running around in the caves . Cool Shit . Cool Epithets . Personal Number The Nemonik , using some obscure formula and any number of factors , has determined that the number 13 is your personal number - what a coincidence . In any case , you can have your face and body painted accordingly for luck and protection . PC gets a new , Cipher skin - texture for his avatar if he chooses . Cool Hooks . New Electronics If the PC isn ' t skilled in Mechanics , he can bring Trig uncommon parts he finds in the wasteland to see if she can do anything with it . With the parts ( and Isaac ' s help ) , Trig can put together some rare stuff which she ' ll trade to the PC once she ' s done building it . Brotherhood Equipment If an alliance is forged between the Ciphers and Brotherhood , Trig will eventually have a lot of Brotherhood equipment lying around her shop . A larcenous PC could swipe some of the stuff , or a persuasive PC could convince Trig to declare some of the fixed items " irreparable " . Room for Improvement . Prosperity : The Ciphers are pretty poor in general . Nobody has more than a few caps on them , and most of their equipment is cheap , primitive stuff . The electronics are the most valuable items in the village , but there ' s currently only a few of those available . Quests : None ? Store : Trig – in addition to electronic goodies , she ' s got things like stimpaks or other basic adventuring supplies acquired from passing traders . Store Frequency : No restocking occurs while the Vipers are still around . Minimal restocking if the PC clears out the molerat caves ( small items get smuggled in ) . Good restocking every few weeks if the Vipers are gone . Morale : High morale . The Ciphers will defend their home to the death . Armament : Mostly melee – spears , knives , and pipes . A few zip guns . Leather armor . General Health : Poor , and growing worse . Not only have the Ciphers been subsisting on a dwindling supply of fruits and vegetables , but they ' re becoming more and more radiated from those same vegetables . Community : Strong defense . There ' s only one way into the village , and that way lies up a narrow path and long ladder . It ' s very easy for the Ciphers to repel attacks on the village . Services : Trig has several electronic items to trade , and her workshop functions as a Mechanics Lab . Communication : None . No radios . Technology Level : Low - Medium . The Ciphers have lots of low - tech gear like knives , zip gun s , and leather armor , but they also have the occasional tech device , like infrared goggles . End Movies . WHERE TO GO CONDITIONS 1 .
