📋 About This Mod
Please, read the description. It's very important.
If you're reading this, the mod is no longer supported. I made it when I was a kid, and as such, it's a cringe edgy fan-fiction of FarCry and Metal Gear Solid. If you report any issues they will promptly be IGNORED and any bug reports will be removed. There will be no further updates, so adding any reports is unnecessary and mainly just pointlessly fill up my email/notifications that could be better used for something relevant.
MY PLAYTHROUGH HERE
This mod was once the finale to the Tales of New Reno series. It, along with its sequel Anatomy of Disaster, are NOT canon and should be ignored/not played.
I've kept the original description in-tact, but anything written in Yellow applies to the "remaster" that I posted.
You accept a job guarding a boat delivering cargo to a NCR Base in the middle of the ocean. While traveling to the place you gt horribly lost and end up shipwrecked on an unknown island. At first the island seems normal, but as you venture further in it feels as if your being watched. This is indeed another sequel for the Tales of New Reno Series and includes many characters from that series. I suggest that you play Tales of New Reno 1 & 2 first.
TO START THE QUEST YOU CAN GO TO EITHER GYPSUM TRAIN-YARD OR CALLVILLE BAY

I'm mainly posting this at this time because I just don't have time to work on this anymore. The mod at this point is a BETA so there are some issues. Also this list has some spoilers for the mod story, sorry.[]Sometimes when meeting the President he will not talk to you automatically, you'll have to talk to him manually. (Fixed)
