About this mod

The Caesar has marked a lot of people for death, and the courier obeys!

Requirements

  • Mandarin
With the help of NCR Operatives and a Legion Traitor, over 300 slaves massacred the Legion-occupied city of Bullhead before escaping to the Mojave Wasteland. This affront to Caesar cannot stand. He will have his...



Overview

Retribution
is heavily inspired by quests like "Three Card Bounty" and mods such as Someguy2000's The Duelists  New Vegas Bounties. Only this time, its FINALLY from the Legion's perspective.

While its highly recommended to be playing a Legion-Friendly character for this mod, its not required. There are even choices available to undercut the legion at certain points (though you can never outright oppose them). Thus, this mod is perfect for all couriers with a more...flexible moral compass.


Content Warning

As per usual, my mods have you dealing with the absolute worst of the wasteland, especially this one. So, not only is there profanity throughout, but also some dialogue centered around war crimes, sex/SA, and suicide (Though granted, its nothing beyond vanilla New Vegas's limits). That being said, If you don't wish to read about these topics, I completely understand and recommend you ignore the mod for now.

Features

This mod is much more epic in scope than my last. With 8 Main Quests and 2 Side Quests, Retribution adds several hours of new content, consisting of but not limited to:
  • Hunting down dangerous Slave Gladiators and Raiders, all with their own unique personalities
  • Infiltrating NCR bases to assassinate targets
  • Kickstarting your own Chem Dealing operation
  • Torturing an NCR soldier for information
  • 450+ Lines of Voiced Dialogue by a talented team of VAs
  • 8 New Armors, 4 New Weapons
  • Multiple ways to complete quests, utilizing stealth, combat, and even some of the more ignored dialogue options such as Barter, Lady Killer, and Terrifying Presence
  • Choices with Consequences
  • More Exploding Heads
  • More Quests named after Metallica songs
  • A real ending

Requirements

  • Dead Money
  • Honest Hearts
  • Lonesome Road
  • Gun Runner's Arsenal

So long as the Legion isn't shooting you on sight, you'll be able to start the quest.

There is no hard level requirement, but this mod is difficult. Its highly recommended to be at least level 15, and you should probably bring a companion.


Getting Started


To install, just drag and drop the files into your New Vegas Data folder. To start the quest, go to Cottonwood Cove. You'll find some new shacks and new NPCs. Interact with those to begin (Check screenshots for assistance).

Bugs/Incompatibilities

You might notice that some NPCs lipsyncing doesn't quite match their voice. I don't know why this happens and, frankly, I don't care. Just imagine you're playing through an 80s martial arts film with obvious dubbing.

For some reason, quests fail to progress/activate after converting the mod from an ESP to an ESM. This is in spite of me running it through FNVEdit and applying 3rd party scripts which usually do the trick for conversion. So, because of this, do not request me to convert the mod into an ESM. It just doesn't wanna play nice outside of its original ESP file type.

Is currently incompatible with Simple Open Freeside (Though some people have said you can just turn it off, do the the quests in Freeside, then turn it back on after and it should be fine).

This mod is incompatible with Raider Rapport.

This mod is compatible with Questside Cove.

I didn't run into any incompatibilities in my exhaustive playtesting, but this mod does heavily modify the vanilla locations of Cottonwood Cove, Freeside, Camp McCarran, and Wolfhorn Ranch. So, there's always a chance. Let me know of any if encountered, and I'll put them here.
