📋 About This Mod

The Secret of the Mole Rat Maze New Version Released 5/1/09 - fix that helps with creature AI so that they are appropriately aggressive. - rework on voice files (no more mixed generic with new voice). - quest structure reworked to make objectives more clear FEATURES: - Lore friendly and enhancing dungeon that provides a 30 minute quest near Megaton, fun for leveling your character. - Clever unique items that are useful but not game breaking. - Voice Files in Ogg format with interesting, dynamic dialogue. - Tougher opponents for game balance. Please Rate this file Version 1. 01 Description: The word in Megaton is that there is a cavern system nearby in the wasteland that hides enough caps to buy your way into Tenpenny tower. If you are interested in checking this out, talk to Jenny Stahl or Gob in Megaton. They will fill you in. For a small fee, Ellie Mae, the keeper of the entrance to the maze will sell you a key. Be warned, the maze is a dangerous place that holds many interesting items to assist you in exploring the wastes. You might even find that pile of caps that is supposed to be buried down there. **I recommend being around level 10 on hard for the most balanced experience but it is fun on other settings too. Instructions: -Put plug-in into data folder -Archive invalidation if you want to use the added textures -Throw Textures and Sound Folders into the Data folder Debugging Version 1. 00 One bug corrected in which lying did not conclude the quest. Version 1. 01 Possible navmesh problem corrected that sometimes leads to meek mobs. New lighting added. Item stat change on Wanderer\'s hat. Acoustic spaces changed to enhance sound in the maze.
