About this mod
Replaces over 100 loading screens with thought-provoking, poignant, and depressing musings from folks like Werner Herzog, Kierkegaard, Jacobi, Nietzsche, and of course, David Lynch.

Are you fed up with annoyingly cheerful loading screen tips that pop up right after a suicider blows you up seconds after that Instigating Gauss Rifle drops? Maybe you're over the upbeat advice after clipping through the world right outside your settlement, after a 45 minute survival mode, no-save quest run. Or that fun note doesn’t quite land after an embarrassing Molotov mishap outside Corvega.
Forget your usual loading screen tips. Get acquainted with Camus, Herzog, Nietzsche, Adams (the HHG one), Lynch (the Twin Peaks one), and a host of other misanthropic masterminds who get it. Revel in dark humor, bitter irony, and a side of cynicism while wait to reload for another Dunwich attempt. Because out there in the Wasteland, the only real victory we have, is laughing at the absurdity of it all.

This mod only overwrites the Load Screen records for existing vanilla records. No new Load Screens were introduced. Triggers and conditions were kept, so new screens will show up as you progress through your story. There is a rhyme and reason to how I placed certain quotes with certain existing vanilla loading screens, but realistically that only makes sense to me. Enjoy the chaos and randomness, because what else do we have on this miserable world to enj- whoops, almost got going again.
This initial release probably has typos and such; I tried my best, but nothing reveals an encoding issue or typo like sharing with the public. I'll fix them up.
I made this dumb thing initially for my own enjoyment and laughs, I hope you get some laughs from it too.
Made with FO4edit 4.1.5f. Thank you elminsterau.
