📋 About This Mod

Chief Hanlon Dialogue Restored ============================== v1. 3 by SGM Description =========== This mod aims to properly restore certain dialogue options in the quest "Return to Sender" that never worked correctly. Now the player can try to convince Hanlon to abandon his plan of sabotage once they learn of Caesar's illness from successfully interrogating Silus at Camp McCarran, or from Caesar himself once the quest "Et Tumor, Brute?" is triggered. To successfully do this, the player must have an Intelligence of 5 or higher. Dumb characters can still attempt it, but will fail to convince Hanlon (big surprise). Installation ============ Extract all the files into your Data folder, or use a mod manager like FOMM and enable the .esp file.
