About this mod
A new way to experience Fallout 3 with a more apocalyptic setting in mind. Replaced various NPC's with ghouls and added a custom start!
- Permissions and credits
This is a mod I've wanted to make for quite some time but never got around to it. I remember there being an apocalypse mod on Fallout 3 Nexus back in the day but appears it's been taken down. I'd advise adding in some fog, better lighting, MMM and you're in for a fun playthrough. So let's enjoy the spooky season and have a Happy Halloween!
READ BEFORE INSTALLING: To make this mod work properly you MUST start a new game. ?♂️
I deleted NPC's from their retrospective spawning places so if you've already loaded in the NPC's they won't go away.
I also recommend you place my esp lower on your load order to avoid other issues.
Big shoutout to t3hf4llOut, their mod helped as a reference guide in terms of creating my own start up.
Updates:
- v1.1: Added some bobby pins to the starting medkit so you're at least guaranteed to have 3.
-What's Featured in this mod?-
- Replaced all the NPC's in Megaton and Rivet City with ghouls. Yes this makes it so certain quests are unplayable (i.e. Moira's survival guide and Harkness with the replicated man quest). This mod is meant for fun and destruction, main quest should still be playable though.
- A custom, brand new beginning. Start the game within the Farragut West Station and dive right into the action! I'll have a spoilers section below but there are story driven notes that will guide you throughout the playthrough. I did my best to incorporate some Fallout lore and give reason as to what happened in Megaton/Rivet City.
(There's a rifle, energy and melee weapon at the start so you can choose your build from the get-go.)
- The medicine bobblehead... I placed another in Dr. Lesko's laboratory within the Marigold Station (Grayditch). For some reason when you pick up the bobblehead it doesn't actually disappear in game. Can't say I know why this happens but it still gives you the bobblehead and increases your Medicine.
Spoilers Section:
(Of course it's entirely up to you but this is how it's meant to be played out.)
- Grab the holodisk and fusion pulse charge on the desk in the room that you spawn in.
- You and your partner were tasked with installing a purifier into the Megaton water source. Instead it turned everyone into feral ghouls.
- Following the holodisk's advice, travel back to Megaton and rig the bomb to explode.
- Travel to Tenpenny Tower, find the second holodisk in a fire hose box on the top floor.
- Megaton was a setup devised by the Children of the Cathedral as another "purifier" is being installed at Rivet City.
- Blow up Megaton.
- Work with Roy Phillips and let the ghouls into Tenpenny Tower.
- Travel to Rivet City to find the third holodisk in the science lab. (Holodisk next to the bobblehead)
- Madison Li is now a ghoul! She was given the cure before losing her sanity.
- The traveling caravans tell of a group of men in purple robes seeking slaves at Paradise Falls.
- Travel to Paradise Falls to find the final holodisk in the slave house and the remains of your partner. (Holodisk on the table)
Disclaimer: This mod has NOT been 100% tested and I'm expecting some sort of problems so you know... keep that in mind.
