I recently went back to playing Fallout 4 around a month ago and the thing that really draws me into the game and keeps me playing is building my settlements. This time around I tried to go the extra mile building separate houses and such (I usually end up building these huge ass structures and stick all the settlers living together), and adding a lot of details with the decorations, shop areas, bars, etc. and interconnecting everything through walkways, railings and the like.
If there was an easy to use RP-focused piece of software that could be used to build up structures and even 3D terrain and stuff like that, I could see myself building whole adventure maps in my computer, then connecting it to a flatscreen TV and just presenting whole adventure like that. Hell, I would build the whole town. If they had a high detail character editor (like a lot of computer RPGs have, but with extra stuff for non-human creatures, like Champions Online or similar) I would build a bunch of NPCs and monsters, and put them all over the place or just drop them in as needed. It would be freaking awesome!
But doing actual physical pieces or buying up miniatures is too much work and costs too much. Plus where do I even store them afterwards, and what do I do with them after the adventure’s done? Use the same terrain over and over, like enemies can’t come up with a different location to plot their schemes? Doing this stuff digitally seems far more convenient IMO, and far less expensive, assuming there is a one time purchase somewhere you could use to build your own stuff and save your assets in a hard drive.
