📋 About This Mod
A Madman walks the Mojave, searching day and night for the Shangri-La of science: the Big Empty.
That man is known as Dr. Disaster: a maniacal inventor who is not bound by petty laws of nature or morality.
He is brillant, insane, and possibly a threat to the human race.
And, it just so happens that he's looking for some hired help!
Dive into the Area 101 Bunker: a secret science facility hidden in the Mojave that has since been abandoned of it's original inhabitants. Fight your way through crazed lobotomites, malfunctioning trauma harnesses, and deadly robobrains. Aid the Mad Doctor in his quest to finish the Mass Relay that will help him locate the Big Empty and you will be rewarded!
This is the biggest mod I've done so far: it's an Homage to The Old World Blues DLC which was my favorite Fallout DLC of all time. For that reason, you will need it in order to play this mod. But it features a new underground structure, two quests, lots of lost lore, dialogue with voice acting, and a special weapon at the end!
This mod starts when you go to the Hotel Lobby in Novak and pick up the Holotape on the front desk. It should direct you to a structure not too far away from there.
I hope you guys enjoy. This was a fairy big mod (by my standards) so I'm bound to have missed something after playtesting it several times. Any feedback you can give is appreciated.
Hope you guys enjoy!
-Notes: Like I said, you WILL need "Old World Blues" in order to play this.
