The Following mod includes vulgar language that may not be intended for people that don't like vulgar language. You will only find language included in the base-game to begin with; you have been WARNED!

Description
===========

Darren Duke isn't from the Mojave, he isn't new to it either. Darren Duke is a weathered prospector/mercenary that has seen his fair-share of the wasteland. He has many things to say and he has his certain views of the many different faction.
He is very proficient with shotguns, as well as melee weapons.
As of now this is only his first release and he will have much more content. But for right now he has enough to keep you entertained until then.
