📋 About This Mod
UPDATE 03/26/2025
I have disabled commenting because no one seems to know how to read. Any quests that do not start when they should are NOT a result of this mod. I have tested this mod through countless play throughs and NG+. Read the IMPORTANT section below for info on why quests may not start. I have also removed the mod from Creations because I don't use Xbox and have no reason to keep this mod updated in 2 different places.
FEATURES
-
[]Less Activities - A majority of the Misc. Pointers that were automatically added to Activities have been removed.
[
]Less Tutorial Pointers - Removes a lot of the pointers such as Craft an Item, etc.[]Conditioned Command Terminal - Many missions can be started with a few clicks using the Mission Control Terminal. Includes conditioning so you won't be able to start a mission that should not yet be available to you.
[]Missions That Cannot Be Started - If a mission cannot be started via the terminal, there are instructions for how to start it manually.
[]Started/Completed Missions - Some missions that have been started and/or completed are removed from the terminal to keep the terminal tidy. Come back in NG+.
[]Includes Faction Missions - Yep, not even faction missions will auto-start. You can start them whenever you want. Except for Deep Cover (this mission can be started in a couple different ways and instructions are included in the terminal).
[]Mission Clues - Includes info to help with some missions. For example, what dialogue options to choose to progress the mission. Also includes info on where to find items for missions like Burden of Proof and Solomon's Trove.
[]Online Mission Boards - You can access Mission Boards from the terminal.
[]Does Not Remove Dialogue or Scenes - You will still hear the guards speak about different folks needing help, but it won't be automatically added to your log. Once you start the mission with the terminal, the associated dialogue will no longer be spoken (just as vanilla). You will still see the scene with Neshar when first arriving in Neon for example.
HOW TO USE
[]Accessing The Command Terminal - Once the mod is activated, you will receive a weapon called "Mission Control". Favorite this weapon to access the terminal. If you don't receive the weapon, save, exit and reload your save. If you still don't get it then you don't have the mod installed correctly.
[*]If a Mission Won't Start - I have tested starting and completi
