📋 About This Mod
So, if one thing bugged me about FNV, it was the lack of encounters. I mean, it was just empty expanses of land with the occasional enemy sprinkled hither and thither. Maybe some Legion Assassins too. It got boring to travel between towns and settlements, from caves to The Strip itself. I always liked the idea of encounters in the Wasteland, and it's one of the reasons I hold Fallout 3 in such high regard. Taking inspiration from Fallout 3, I decided to get to work. Hence, this new mod series titled Encounters of The Mojave.
What this mod does is add set, scripted encounters (Not to be confused with Random Encounters, as I don't know how to code those) to the NCRCF and Hidden Valley areas. From simple conversations to skirmishes to chem deals and more!
DISCLAIMER: THIS MOD WILL ASSUME YOU'VE STARTED A NEW GAME, THEREFORE A NEW GAME STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR SOME ENCOUNTERS TO MAKE SENSE. A NEW GAME IS NOT REQUIRED, HOWEVER, IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING MAKING SENSE!
REQUIRES LONESOME ROAD!
Even better, I've had ALL of these encounters custom voiced, some by people I've worked with in the past and you may recognize from my other mods, some who are new to me but veterans to the voice over scene, and others who are just starting out! Shoutout to them all below!
