About this mod

Stops DLC quests being added automatically after leaving vault 101 and hides pop-up messages connected to them.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
This is an updated version of mod "DelayDLC" released in 2009 https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/5253 with some tweaks and changes.


v1.01 fixed The Pitt not starting after listening to radio broadcast.


What does this mod do?

This mod stops DLC quests being added automatically after leaving vault 101 and hides pop-up messages connected to them. DLC radio signals are not broadcast everywhere in wasteland anymore. Instead you should get to specific area to receive signal and activate quest. Broken steel level cap notification is also hidden.



How is this mod different from original?


In original mod activation range of some DLC quests where too small especially for Mothership zeta and Point lookout. It was hard for new players to find them. I decided to change it, specifically:

  • The pitt - radio broadcast has been centered on tower instead of coming somewhere from the west.
  • Operation anchorage - increased radio signal broadcast radius little bit.
  • Point lookout - changed how quest starts: whenever you get close to the boat you will hear siren and bell. After that quest activates (original idea - Gribbleshnibit8). If you haven't found boat by the level 20, quest activation range increases.
  • Mothership zeta - greatly increased radio signal broadcast distance.

Also 5 different files have been merged into single ESP and ran through FO3edit's auto clean mode.



Where can DLC quests be triggered?

  • The pitt - Radio transmission can be received north of Paradise falls. Quest starts after listening to broadcast.
  • Operation anchorage - Radio transmission can be received south of Marigold station. Quest starts after listening to broadcast.
  • Point lookout - Quest activates when you get very close to the boat after hearing siren and bells. After level 20+ activation range increases to south of citadel.
  • Mothership zeta - Radio transmission can be received north of MDPL-13 power station.

See screenshot for exact locations. Might contain spoilers!
