📋 About This Mod
Still not enough? How about a reasonably entertaining story, NPCs, and weapon-toting hirelings to follow you around and shoot things while you loot valuable items off of less-valuable lives?
STILL not enough? Remember when we mentioned weapons? We've got weapons from Fallout 1 and 2, custom weapons designed just for this mod with variable firing scripts, an AoE sniper rifle (a personal favorite), in so many shapes and sizes you'll probably want to start over from the beginning just for the fun of bigger booms!
Okay, Still Not Enough? Your base of operations, located in an undisclosed Capitol Wasteland location, is fully upgradable with turrets, patrols, dogs, robots, mercenaries, and a custom mortar with enough range to hit any outdoor location in the DC area!
On top of all that there is also Easter Eggs galore sprinkled throughout the story and world. Can you spot all the Lore and non-Lore related references and goodies?
