📋 About This Mod

I made this for Fallout 3 years back. I always meant to port it to TTW and finally took the time to do it. Tested a bit. Seems to work.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod alters the Waters of Life quest in Fallout 3 (with Tale of Two Wastelands) so that Dad follows you instead of you following him. It's a small quality-of-life tweak for players who want to lead the way. With 43 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but functional quest adjustment.

✨ Key Features

During the Waters of Life quest, Dad will follow the player instead of the player following him.
Designed for Tale of Two Wastelands (TTW) compatibility.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Flipping the script on a tedious escort quest—now Dad's the one keeping up with you.
  • Tiny mod, easy to install, and it does exactly what it says.
  • Still being updated as of 2023, so it's not abandoned.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects one quest—if you're looking for broader gameplay changes, this isn't it.
  • Requires TTW, so vanilla Fallout 3 players are out of luck.
  • Low endorsement count (43) means it's not widely tested—might have edge cases.
🎯 Is This For You?
For TTW players who find the Waters of Life escort mission annoying and want to take the lead. Skip if you're playing vanilla Fallout 3 or want more substantial quest overhauls.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have TTW installed and activated before adding this mod.
  • Load order matters—place this mod after TTW's main files to avoid conflicts.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep things clean.
