📋 About This Mod
I went ahead and mixed the FO3 Death music with two different lines Ron Pearlman says in the original game and then did the same with NV.
V1 being the line: "Your life ends in the wasteland."
V2 being the line: "THe darkness of the afterlife is all that awaits you now. May you find more peace in that world than you found in this one."
V2 also has one normal version with no changed speed and an alternate version, where I slowed down the speed of the music a bit to match the voice line a bit better.
In the future I'm planning to make the game play all four versions of them but for now this will do just fine.
Installation:
MO2 Install: Unfortunately I do not have a fomod so you need to download my mod, double click on it, then click on manual (if it doesn't automatically do that) and select your preferred version.
Manual Install: Download and open the zip file, open the folder of your preferred version. Then copy the "sound" folder in 'Game path/Fallout New Vegas/Data'.
Uninstallation:
Just delete the mus_death.ogg file.
