About this mod

A total reimagining of the Honest Hearts DLC. Not a replacer. Weird, sometimes poetic, sometimes silly. Fully-voiced with almost 30 completely new NPCs.

Requirements
Permissions and credits

HONEST HEARTS REBORN
version 1.50 (final version)
Technical Disclaimer: I made Honest Hearts Reborn completely by myself nine years ago, with no coding experience of any kind. There are some bugs and major script errors in HHR that make it not recommended for a heavily-modded playthrough, but is definitely playable.

Development Disclaimer: I'm doing other creative stuff with my life now, still involved in game design and stories but in other spaces, and don't have the time or energy to come fix stuff that's wrong with this mod. It is what it is.


This is an interview I did about the process.



“Holy ***! Dang! That was awesome! Wow, that was really, well...that was awesome!”
- Alchestbreach, at the end of this mod.






UPDATE: version 1.50 addresses a script messup that stopped progression and fixes over 50 voice errors and problems.
UPDATE: After a long hiatus, I have returned. Patch 1.48 does the following:
-Makes over 150 quality of life and bug fixes
- Restores 3 Cut Quests
- Streamlined the game's 3 endings, allowing players more choice and freedom
- Added new challenges
- Added a new fully-voiced NPC providing a new quest option.


What you gotta have: 
Fallout: New Vegas base game
Honest Hearts


Despite its beautiful setting Zion National Park and the incredible story of Joshua Graham, Honest Hearts has generally been regarded as more disappointing than successful. (I mean, you meet the most awesome warrior in the wasteland then he asks you to go find walkie-talkies??) Honest Hearts Reborn is a canon-replacing story that tells a new story of Joshua Graham. When the Courier's caravan to New Canaan is hijacked in Zion by the Legion, the Courier is taken prisoner by a sadistic Legion commander named Livius, who forces the Courier to help him find the Burned Man. The Courier's journey will lead him to the highest cliff in Zion's, and to meet and influence the Burned Man himself. What he doesn't know is that his decisions will not only affect the Legion and Joshua, but the New Canaanites, prospectors, and all the tribes living in Zion National Park.


Stuff that's in it:

- A DLC-length questline defined by character choice, made by some loser
- ~30 voiced NPCs voiced by an incredible cast of actors
- 3 new companions
- a revamped, teeming Zion Canyon full of new factions including Livius' Legion, the Bloodstone Tribe, the Burned Ones, the Highlander Mutants, and the mysterious and faithful New Canaanites.
- exactly what you want to be playing before Fallout 4 comes out - literary, thoughtful, meaningful crap and also shooting

UNRELATED TO HHR:
My first tabletop RPG, THE LAST CARAVAN: A CARS AND ALIENS ROLEPLAYING GAME, is on kickstarter as of June 6th, 2023. It draws on my experiences with Honest Hearts Reborn in a big way, and is overall a much less buggy experience. Check it out if you want!
