Farming simulator DLC and sidemissions in general

GMRE·4/1/2016 in General Discussion

Who'd like to see farming sidemissions in JC3? And while we're on the subject of sidemissions, what additional sidemissions or "Random Encounters" would you like to see?

I'd like there to be a mission about protecting, or delivering a Stadt-Tresor ST 8530.
Maybe something about investigating the strange lights in the sky and actually seeing some, but then the airforce shows up with fighters and you end up having to shoot them down.

Or something, I don't know.

Maybe fly a U-7 Dravec and try to demolish something that only appears during the mission?

I know this thread is rather old but sidemissions are a finicky topic because you've got to make sure they're fun, without making them boring and repetitive. Very thin line between the two that must be tread carefully. How about a sidemission (Completely optional) where the Medici Military has become the insurrection and is trying to retake Settlementnamehere and you have to defend it?

The military take orders from their commander, who by law takes orders from the government. So who would really be trying to retake your settlement? This could only happen before the end of the storyline, to force the player to occasionally go back and retake some locations.

You could easily justify it as soldiers who were so thoroughly brainwashed that they refused to surrender even after the collapse of the Di Ravello regime, led by crazy officers with delusions of becoming the next head honcho. It's not unreasonable given how fanatically loyal human beings can be.

Oh yeah? Remember the map information for the last mission? "The military is frayed and failing." With every base and every town liberated, where would they be coming from? How many of them could there be in some unmarked outposts? Like 100? So that's barely a company at best. I guess if the rebels would fail to organize an election adequately soon and some local authorities would lose their patience and break off from the rest of the nation, then that could split the nation into multiple factions. I've heard the rebels talking that they'll have to stick around for a while until they arrange and election and then later disband, so they wouldn't become the next oppressors. (I've also pointed this out in some thread.) But if the nation begins to split apart, the rebels would nolonger be able to have a central command. Otherwise some one new faction would control (and have to pay for) The Rebellion/new military. I would dare to claim that the smaller rebel units would be most loyal to their native provinces. But since they only just finished a war against one dictator/warlord, it's unlikely that any new faction/small nation would be allowed to have a similar government, with out getting overthrown the same day.

This is a world where a tinpot dictator on a tiny island has pulled multiple nuclear warheads, launch facilities and intercontinental-range delivery systems out of his ass without anyone in the international community knowing about it. This has happened not just once but twice. In the latter case said tinpot dictator on a tiny island also had a space program at the same time. Compared to that, hundreds or even thousands of soldiers managing to conceal themselves and launch a counterattack is downright reasonable. <div class="quote">GMRE wrote:

Two Words: Soviet Union Another two words: Weimar Republic (and that one was even a peaceful transition!) There's plenty of precedent in European history for revolutions eliminating one dictator only to give rise to another within a few decades. That said, Just Cause politics aren't remotely realistic, one only has to look at the expansionist militaristic China in JC2 for evidence of that.

They happened, canonically. And JC3 has an even higher density of nonsense and unrealism than JC2 and 2 combined. <div class="quote">Mendoza was in fact SUSPECTED of having nuclear weapons and Rico was sent in to take care of him before they launched</div>
Wasn't aware of that (haven't played JC1), thank you for correcting me. But my point about Panau and Baby Panay still stands. <div class="quote">Point 2: The Soviet Union was a DICTATORSHIP that VIOLENTLY forced itself into power</div>
And it begin as a revolutionary movement to otherthrow another pre-existing dictatorship, that of Tsar Nicholas II. Guess what everyone who wasn't Lenin or Stalin was aiming for at the start? Because it was about as far removed from what Lenin and Stalin actually did as a beef and potato pie is removed from a fried egg. <div class="quote">There was an extremely BRIEF civil war in the wake of that, but it didn't work out</div>
Three years is hardly "brief", nor would I consider the barely comprehensible chaos of said three years to be anything as simple as a "civil war". <div class="quote">The Weimar Republic was UNLUCKY enough to inherit a $33 billion debt</div>
Which was well within the country's capacity to pay off, as were the war reparations settled at Versailles. Then the government decided not to collect any taxes. I am not exaggerating, they actually did keep taxes to the bare minimum and avoid raising them, even until sometimes after the consequences actually hit them, out of an overblown fear of alienating their public support.

Yes it still happened but as I was saying It's impractical in the real world unless this Yes that point still stands if that were true (sigh) Yes <strike>Three years is hardly brief</strike> Yeah well compared to this it is short ... I'm not going to argue that segment <strike>How did this go from a farming simulator DLC to this</strike>
