Have you ever found The Mysterious Stranger and the related perk uninspiring and boring leaving you ignore the perk entirely? You are probably not alone. Despite being the only character to appear in all canon Fallout games not much effort to flesh out this character has been made. Apart from the overt implications made in Fallout New Vegas which strongly hints that The Mysterious Stranger is the father of The Lonesome Drifter (although depending on your actions and character build The Lonesome Drifter could also appear to be your child from a night spent in a drunken stupor some 18 years prior).
This is where this alternative version comes in.
After Christopher Wallace (aka The Notorious B.I.G.) was ensnared by producer and soul-eater Sean Combs he quickly realized that mo' money equaled mo' problems. Feeling disillusioned and numbed creatively he started to wander the world seeking a higher purpose to rekindle his artistic flame. Fools say he was murdered in 1997. More enlightened persons say he was abducted by aliens and subjected to countless of experiments before managing to escape. Still others claim he was exposed to a rare strain of the F.E.V. virus which have granted his many unusual abilities. Whatever the truth may be one thing is certain, The Mysterious B.I.G. is back in the East Coast.
The result is glorious, check the video below and the testimonials further down for more information.
Kotaku: "How does it take 3 games until the mod community come up with something so perfect?"
Gamespot: "The Notorious B.I.G. is probably the last person you'd expect to see in Fallout 4, but thanks to a new mod, Biggie himself can now surprise players by showing up and shooting up an enemy when they least expect it."
Geek: "Over on NexusMods, a modder by the handle of gyashaa (with help from King Tobbe) has turned Fallout 4‘s The Mysterious Stranger into the rapper Notorious BIG. The mod is called The Mysterious BIG, and it is glorious."
Unilad: "As you might expect, the character model looks like Mr B.I.G – but the real perk to this mod is that it swaps in various Biggie lyrics, which results in hilarity."
Mediacraft: "You get to see Biggie again AND hear his dope verses while shooting at raiders and ghouls! What can be more fun than that?"
Gamerant: "One fan of Fallout 4 gives rapper The Notorious B.I.G. life after death by putting Biggie Smalls in Bethesda’s retro-futuristic RPG with the use of mods."
TechTimes: "This one will surely put a smile on every Fallout 4 players' face: a new mode, dubbed The Mysterious B.I.G., is now ready for download. And, yes, it's pretty hilarious."
r/FO4/: "I might have to get the PC version now."
Fraghero: "As if Fallout 4 wasn’t wacky enough at times, now you can ditch the old Mysterious Stranger and upgrade (yes, it’s definitely an upgrade) him to Biggie Smalls, or as the mod creator dubbed him, The Mysterious B.I.G., which is all kinds of great."
Aux: "No, it’s not all a dream, vault boys and girls: through the magic of PC game modding, you can now have everyone’s favourite NYC MC lend a murderous helping hand in Fallout 4."
Use Nexus Mod Manager (or Mod Organizer, Wrye Bash) or manually extract contents to your "..\Fallout\Data\"-folder. From version 3.0 filepaths changed so if you manage your mods manually please take note of this.
Any mod that changes the mysterious stranger perk will conflict with this mod. Also any mod that edits Nick Valentine's office will also be incompatible.
