Tale of Two Wastelands Version now available!

Description

This mod changes the intro of the game so the narrator doesn't lie to you,  it also changes the ending slides so the narrator stops being judgmental and changes Sarah Lyons' lines regarding "chivalry" into something more likely for a warrior and a soldier like her to say if you make certain decision. I also changed the original Neutral Karma slides since the original audio was just a short version of the Good Karma one. Now there is a proper Neutral Karma ending slides. Starring Will Handford as the new narrator.

Why?

Because I got tired of the narrator judging and shaming me for not wanting to sacrifice myself when there were better options at my disposal (Fawkes, Charon, Sergeant RL-3) or simply because, let's remember, I am roleplaying an 18 year old boy / girl. A badass one, yes, but still, it always made more sense for an experienced soldier like Sarah Lyons to activate the Purifier.

The intro is also problematic since they lie to the player just for effect. That's just cheap storytelling. 

The new intro keeps things mysterious and doesn't lie to you. The new ending slides try to stress the importance of friendships and sacrifice without shaming the player.

How?

Recasting the narrator (kudos to the incredible Will Handford), also changing some themes (kudos to AnnaKate for the new theme) to make things darker and altering some game files via GECK. Plus long hours of video editing.

Samples

Here you can take a look at the new intro and also a possible Good, Neutral and Bad Karma endings (I say possible because there are certain permutations depending of the player's actions during the game):
