📋 About This Mod

Tales from the Burning Sands Chapter 1: The Chef Chapter 2: The Botanist Chapter 3: The Architect

1. 31b now available Compatibility Mods updated December. 22. 2013

-- Compatibility Warning -- During an optional post-main-adventure sidequest in Chapter Three, having Nipton Rebuilt enabled may prevent the player from completing the sidequest due to a building being placed over a required quest item. If you experience this, It is recommended that you temporarily disable Nipton Rebuilt in order to find the object in question. Alternately, you can use the console command tcl to enable no-clip mode, which may let you fly "through" buildings and find the required item.

  • What does this mod do?
  • ------

Tales from the Burning Sands is a lore-friendly, serialized adventure mod which will evolve through chapters. Each chapter will introduce a new character, story line, and/or location. The first chapter, The Chef, features an individual who needs your help for a variety of unusual tasks. To view the request, visit the Prospector Saloon in Goodsprings; there's a new Help Wanted terminal there that may have some useful information.

As with my Fallout 3 mods, Tales from the Burning Sands will be heavy on notes, characters, stories, and puzzles, and light on combat.

I rarely use waypoint/quest markers in my mods; you'll need to ponder over the notes/journals you've found if you get stuck. This is a personal preference, as a nice respite from the constant hand-holding of most 'vanilla' quests. The comments thread is a good place to seek help, and I'm more than happy to help (as are other friendly forum goers) with a hint/nudge in the right direction.

NOTE: If you are using other mods that let you teleport/fast-travel from interiors, make sure NOT to do so from the new/modified interiors added by this mod. There are (invisible) triggers that the player must enter to progress in the adventure, and if you fast travel/teleport from inside you may not enter the trigger properly.

All chapters are included in the primary download file. You'll be introduced to Chapter one to start with, and new chapters will become available after you've worked your way through a previous chapter. New chapters are started by visiting the Help Wanted terminal in the Goodsprings saloon.
