📋 About This Mod
UPDATED(9-13-14) -Fixed a bug dealing with dialogue conditions causing vanilla npc's to use Wilson's goodbye.
STORY Dry wells is the wild west of trade towns in NV. It can be found east of gunrunners. Run by a hothead NCR colonel Bent on the destruction of Ceaser and his sad bunch of tribals he calls an army, Dry Wells is at the front line of money pouring in for the war effort against the legion. With its rows of shops and junk vendors, this is a place for traveling wastelanders and off duty soldiers back from patrolling the harsh Mojave Wasteland alike. What's included at the moment is the town, player home, interiors to buildings, a small note quest, new weapon, vendors and NCR soldiers.
-REMEMBER .... THE RADIOS ARE WATCHING!-
