📋 About This Mod
This is Part I. Get Part II here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40378 DESCRIPTION This mod is an exploration of who the Courier was before being taken down by Benny, then becoming embroiled in the events of Fallout New Vegas. A glimpse of the character\'s past is revealed, and a series of tests ensue at the hands of others with their own agendas. This mod is relatively simple in execution, but rewarding to those who make the right choices. This quest has two endings, and a side quest. I invite you to explore the identity of the Courier and others in the Wasteland. This quest assumes that you have a general understanding of the layout of New Vegas and the surrounding area, and have explored a number of these locations. Most of the enemies are not leveled, but are preset to a certain difficulty. Lower level characters may find this quest difficult, especially the crafting part of it. A recommended level would be 15 with about 50 Science and 50 Repair. NEWS! Part 2 is now available: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=40378 FILE LOG Version 2 is now available. Replace V1 with V2 and delete V1. A large number of changes and new content are found in V2. I recommend downloading and playing through again. Change Log is found in the new Read Me. START The quest starts when you pop into Wolfhorn Ranch. You should be able to follow from there. INSTALLATION Place the .esp in your FNV data folder and ensure that the mod is checked in FOMM or FNV Launcher. REQUIREMENTS None. CONFLICTS None that I\'ve seen so far. I have not tested this mod with any of the FNV redesign/overhaul mods though I do know it doesn\'t conflict with FNV Bounties, World of Pain, IWS, Survival Expansion, or Active Wasteland. Everything should work fine with Hardcore mode too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- WEAPONS Stargazer MR5 Powerful hand-held anti-aircraft laser weapon. Extremely deadly, but requires some assembly. You need a Science skill of 75, a work bench, the broken version, two capacitors, scrap electronics, and a targeting module to create it. Radiation Rifle Found on Jasmine\'s corpse. It coats bullets with a radioactive poison as they leave the barrel. Works best with all three hunting rifle mods. Molecular Shiv A switchblade with a devastating critical effect. Slashmaster An improved machete. Plasma Shotgun Craftable with a recipe from Emotitron and 50 science skill. Fires 5 projectiles for 2 microfusion cells. Sword 9mm A slow-firing, more damaging 9mm pistol. Fission Mine and Fission Grenade Nuclear mine and grenade respectively. Craftable with the correct recipe, if you can find it. Radioactive Poison Have too many of those Repconn rocket replicas? Turn them into a deadly poison for your melee weapons! Organ Grinder A unique riot shotgun. X-3 ATM Missile Launcher An extremely accura
