I debated making something like this as soon as I decided I was going to have an overarching narrative in my quest mods. I decided against it at the time, because I'm dumb. I have since reconsidered, and now this exists.
So what does this thing do?
It lets my mods interact between one another. Your decisions matter, now. Hooray.
Affected Mods:
The North Road: Remastered
Headhunting
The Depths of Depravity
The High Desert
More to come, eventually.
"I don't care about my choices having consequences, and my game is already bloated with mod files. I don't want this. Is it optional?"
No. You need to have it on to play my stuff. Sorry. I'm not sorry at all.
"Oh cool, can I make this thing a requirement for my own mods?"
"Does this mod actually contain any content?"
Beyond the magical decision-tracking script? No.
"Why isn't this required for the Initiation?"
The Initiation is already a master file, and it's too linear for there to really be any actual choices. Not worth the hassle.
