I have what I think to be a good idea to really streamline the transition between the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave. Idea is that for some reason, Mr. House has tracked the Platinum chip to being in the DC ruins. He contacts the Lone Wanderer through a Securitron on behalf of House, and offers the player the original job order to transport the as of then mundane chip to the Mojave for 1000 caps (500 to cover the expense to buy the train ticket). The quest would have the player first retrieve the chip from the Sierra Army Depot, take the train to the Mojave, and then being the events of Fallout: New Vegas as they happen. Effectively making the Lone Wanderer and the Courier the same person, with different identities on either coast. It would also make the opening stages of Fallout: New Vegas run smoother since you know exactly what's going on from the get go.
I want to make this myself through the GECK, I just need a few starter tips on how to get it started. Any feedback or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks peeps!
