Welcome to Fabulous New Vegas!
Season 2
There was an in-engine introduction for the game that was scripted, animated, and voiced, but cut in favor of having a pre-rendered video (a much better decision for the game's initial impression). This mod restores this cut introduction when you start a new game (or start New Vegas).
Features:
- Replaced some of Benny's dialogue to be from the "real" intro.
- Reworked the introduction to be less dependent on a timer, so its less fragile.
- Cleaned, restructured, and streamlined the intro, while also extending it a bit further!
- Only edits are to items directly tied to the intro quest (VCG00), so its highly compatible!
- Properly sets the time for the intro scene: ensuring it is 11PM when the scene starts, and 6AM for Doc Mitchell's.
- Modified the intro video to remove all scenes with Benny, so the intro video giving context still plays.
- Cleaned, ESM, etc.
Preview:
I'd recommend seeing it in-game, but here's the intro in full:

General Compatibility:
I have tested this extensively using both the Viva New Vegas list, and the Wasteland Survival Guide for TTW, and it works with no issues. In most cases, quests don't alter the intro quest unless they absolutely have to; so there should be few incompatibilities.
As such, this can mostly go anywhere in your load order. You will receive a warning if something is overriding the associated Quest or Script.
Compatible with:
Alternate Start w/ Delayed Main Quest (select the AltStart version) - Works when you start the Main Quest.
Tale of Two Wastelands (select the TTW version) - Works whether you start in New Vegas, or use the train!
Mojave Tourist (select the TTW version) - NOTE: Will be shown the intro video twice, just skip it with escape. Will fix in next update.
Better Character Creation - No conflicts
(Benny Humbles You) and Steals Your Stuff - No conflicts
Known Issues:
- Sometimes McMurphy doesn't look at the player, only happens in the TTW version. Not sure why.
- Sometimes physics objects near the grave will just go crazy, causing noise.
- Mod makers: Please parent items that may interfere to "VCG00PropEnabler" (0010B3A8) (already in the base game, set it to "Opposite Parent" to show when not in the scene.)
