"I'll begin the DLC when I'm good and ready to!"
:: REQUIREMENTS ::
• Fallout 4 base game
• Vault-Tec DLC
:: DESCRIPTION ::
Like in previous games, Fallout 4's DLC is force-fed to us, cluttering up the quest log in our Pip-boys. Luckily, things make just a little more sense this time around, wherein most DLC is delayed somewhat to start at a certain level, or after a certain point in the main quest (The Far Harbor DLC, for example).
However, let's say you don't want anything to do with Vault 88, for whatever reason. The quest still starts, whether you want it to or not.
This mod prevents the quest from automatically updating and beginning officially until you either
A) listen to the Vault 88 emergency broadcast
B) Enter the Vault 88 cell--as in, go inside
If you choose option (B), 'Vault-Tec Calling' won't show up in your quest log at all, and 'Better Living Underground' starts after the intercom scene involving the *cough* dumb *cough* raiders. (how dumb can one be, trying to break through a door designed to withstand the force of a nuclear blast?)
This one required a couple of changes to two scripts, and a form edit to the 'Vault-Tec Calling' quest, so there's an ESL this time. ESL's are nice, as they don't take up a load order slot, and given this is such a small mod changing one record, it's an ideal candidate.
