📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod aims to bring some realism to the headquarters of Contract Killers and Regulators by opening them.
It's hard to believe that a tiny shack can be protected from a player who is allowed to blow up alien spaceships and towns.
Additionally, there is no perk for joining slave traders or gathering scrap metal.
- HQs and markers are unlocked from the start, but you still need to find them.
- Perks "Lawbringer" and "Contract Killer" are removed from the available perks list. It's possible to obtain these perks through some dialogs with the faction leaders if you meet the requirements.
- Level requirements were removed; only Karma matters.
- You can acquire both perks (same as in Vanilla, good for challenges), unlike some other mods that rebalance Karma perks.
- No new NPC, locations, etc, just some minor script/condition tweaks for the vanilla voiced dialogs.
How to join the Regulators
- Find their HQ.
- Ask what they do and get the note from Sonora.
- Have Good Karma and accept the invitation (or think about it, you will have another chance on another day).
How to join Contract Killers
- Find their HQ.
- Have Evil Karma, so Deniel shares with you his business details and the note (it's a small, quiet business).
- Accept the invitation (or think about it, you will have another chance on another day).
