📋 About This Mod
THE DETERRENT
Endorse the mod if you enjoyed your time with it please. It really helps me out!
Description:
The Deterrent is a fully voiced medium sized quest mod. It contains a brand new world space to explore along with several new characters and several new quests integrated seemlessly into the base game. A Brotherhood Of Steel chapter is embroiled in a bloody war with remnants of the master's army over an incredibly dangerous piece of technology in a mysterious place called Storm City. It's up to the player to decide how it all turns out!
It features around 800 fully voiced lines of dialogue. I'd like to thank the wonderful voice actors who collaborated with me for
all their hard work!

Installation:
Extract the contents of the data folder from the archive into your New Vegas data folder. Using a mod manager such as Vortex or Fallout Mod Manager should automate this step.
Difficulty:
This is a fairly difficult mod. I recommend starting at level 20 but it can definitely be done before that if you have the resources.
Weapons:
-
[]Chinese Carbine by Camon/ApocalypticGirl: A Chinese Assault rifle used by the Chinese prior to the Great War.
[]Cowboy Shotgun by Camon/ApocalypticGirl: A lever action shotgun with a stock attached. Reminiscent of Terminator 2.
[]American Assault Rifle by Camon/ApocalypticGirl: A G3A3 used by the Americans prior to the Great War. Reminiscent of the Fallout 3 Assault Rifle.
- Double Pump by Camon/Scottmack/Fext: A pump action shotgun with two barrels instead of one. Fires both barrels simultaneously.
Companions:
Feel free to bring any companions as the cells have been fully navmeshed.
Getting Started:
Go to Hidden Valley and speak to Scribe McCann in the scribe workshop. The base game quest: "Still In The Dark" must be completed
