-Whaaat? A new DUST update!?

-Bug fixes galore!

-^THIS IS (probably) DUST'S FINAL VERSION: STAY TUNED FOR DUST'S SUCCESSOR IN FALLOUT 4.

Introduction

From the very first time I played Fallout: New Vegas, I was disappointed by the atmosphere of the Mojave. Gameplay wise, FNV was a step up from FO3, but the atmosphere was nowhere near as good. The Mojave seemed too... tame. That's where DUST comes in.

What Is DUST?

DUST is a Post-Apocalyptic survival simulator with an emphasis on lore and story. DUST completely overhauls nearly every aspect of the game to better represent an apocalyptic survival-horror atmosphere. Combat, weather, perks, loot, enemies, you name it. Some areas have even been visually overhauled. All vanilla NPCs have either been killed or changed beyond all recognition. You will not be able to complete quests or join factions. There is but one quest in DUST. Stay alive.

DUST takes place 20 years after the events of New Vegas. As you explore you will slowly learn the story of DUST, but unlike vanilla Fallout, you are not the main character. You are simply a bystander, and must create your own story. There is one way to win DUST. A true survivor must escape the Mojave. With help from notes and keen observation, one may be able to learn of the exit. Even then, the player will have to go a long way to get out.

Requirements

-v1. 6 and before require Dead Money DLC, Honest Hearts DLC, Lonesome Road DLC

-v1. 65 and onward require Dead Money DLC, Honest Hearts DLC, Lonesome Road DLC, Old World Blues DLC, and Gunrunners Arsenal DLC

-There is no DLC free version of this mod.

-Alternative Start mods are no longer required (or compatible, apparently). DUST uses its own start.

-If you have either my "Tribal Fiends" Mod or my "Melee Reach Fixed" mods, you don't need those, as they are included in this mod.

Incompatibilities and Load Order

Lots of things, probably
