📋 About This Mod
'A stranger's just a friend you haven't shot yet.'
The Mod
Strangers Abroad is a quest mod, blending puzzles and combat, treasure hunting and storytelling and more besides into a series of 'episodes' that will hopefully provide not just some fun crap to blast through, but a lore-friendly addition to the current Fallout timeline. Drawing from canonical content, both in-game and cut, Strangers Abroad will explore areas of the game that may not have been fully elaborated upon...or just make crap up because it sounds good.
Okay, enough blabbing. What's it actually all about?
Chapter 1 (Complete)
Your introduction to an unlikely new ally takes you above ground and below, including chem dealers, secret underground bases and a great deal of swearing. Chapter 1 includes:
3 Main Quests (Strangers Abroad, Leaving New Vegas & The Viper's Nest) A new, fully voice-acted companion, Sky Piper (only available within the mod, sorry). A new weapon, plus new consumables and a new item-specific perk. A small, but functional player home, with the usual storage, utilities and bedding.
Chapter 2 (Complete)
Ensuring there's never a dull moment when you good pal Sky's around, you find yourself tangling with security systems, underwater labs and the mob as you begin to untangle the motives behind Lockheart's plan.
2 Main Quests (Blood On The Canvas & The Long, Cold Dark), playable in either order. Side/Ambient Quests. 1 New Craftable Firearm (Scattergun), 1 New Energy Weapon (SE-01 Prototype). 1 New Armour Set (Pressurised Diving Suit & Helmet). 1 New Melee Weapon (Diving Knife). 2 Unarmed Weapons (The Sunday Punch & Fitted Mantis Gauntlet). Various new poisons and other Survival recipes.
Chapter 3 (In Progress)
When Sky sets his sights on recruiting some allies, he ends up taking on much more than he bargained for. Between sadistic pimps and NCR intrigue, he's starting to wonder why he bothered...
2 Main Quests (Don't Fence Me In Part I & Mad About The Boy Part I) 2 New Companions (With off-mission services) 1 New Melee Weapon (Wiley's Hunting Knife)
