Description:

Having learned of the Courier's exploits, a dying man contacts the player in hopes of employing him/her to deliver a mysterious package. Upon accepting the job, the Courier will soon find himself/herself making unwilling allies and dangerous enemies, all jockeying to claim the same prize.

The Inheritance is a compact, lore-friendly quest mod for Fallout: New Vegas, designed to offer new avenues to experience combat and role-playing for high-level characters. It offers a challenging primary quest that is followed by a collection of small sidequests, all dependent on the player's actions. While all of these quests include the trademark ultra-violence and profanity found in my past mods, some of the content departs from New Vegas Bounties in tone and style, as some quests are more dependent on finesse instead of aggression. A detailed description of prerequisites for each sidequest is included in the readme. This mod began as a series of scripting experiments for another project, The Siege of Firebase Zulu, therefore some of the sidequests are wholly unrelated to the primary quest. Nonetheless, I believe players appreciate fresh content, so I elected to include these missions.

The Inheritance includes 1,300 lines of dialogue, all contributed by fellow community members. Should you meet any of these talented individuals in the forums, please thank them for their efforts!

Feedback:

As always, I encourage feedback. I will always heed cogent critiques and thoughtful commentary. However, mindless vitriol will be ignored. Please remember to endorse the mod if you enjoyed it!

The Someguyseries.esm:

For some time, players have asked, "Can I have NVBI and NVBII activated at the same time?" (the answer is yes). What began as a means to address chronological discrepancies within the Bounties series is now something much, much greater. The someguyseries.esm contains a collection of variables that will regulate certain content in all my mods. This means that decisions and/or actions in NVBI could have consequen
