📋 About This Mod
This is the expansion to my On the Trail mod. It adds a divergent story line that takes place after making the final choice at the end of the origional version. This mod is fully voiced and lip synched includes the origional with bug fixes, stream lined gameplay and new items.
Begin the mod by speaking to Frederick J. Turner at the Mojave Outpost Following the completion of the first half, you will then either manage a caravan business with Frederick J. Turner or rebuild the town of Newton with Daniel Porter. In both storylines you will visit the new worldspace: Newton.
Fetures: Turner half: Repeatable caravan jobs New world space Unique uniform
Fetures: Daniel half: Rebuild the town of Newton (new worldspace) Help prepare for the attack on the town New weapons New apparel Meet fully-voiced Newton residents Explore the town and learn its history Explore the 'Abandoned District'
Requires Honest Hearts DLC. No other requirments
Known bugs: The pathfinding on the Brahmins is poor and there's nothing I can do about it. If that happens you can eat the Brahmin food Turner gives you and they'll teleport to you. Their destinations are marked so you can go there and teleport them if it gets really messed up.
In Newton, the residents will occasionally glide across the floor for some reason. This will only cause real problems after the Town Hall scene when they'll move very slowly. The only fix I know is to quit to desktop and load the autosave
Special Thanks: Alec Brashear for the voice of Hank O'Malley DakHoward for the voice of Duncan AlChestBreach for the voice of Crazy Dave Sedahren for the voice of Linda If I forgot you, let me know
Also, Crazy Dave isn't meant to be a reference to the PvZ guy. I've never played the game and only came across the character when I recently saw someone playing Garden Warfare!
