New Vegas Bounties I is the first installment in a planned series for Fallout: New Vegas. Upon initiating the quest, you'll be tasked with tracking down the most malevolent and vile assortment of outlaws in the Mojave Wasteland.

Your targets will include rogue rangers, fiends, raiders, drug smugglers, cannibals, and pistoleros, to name a few. Your opponents are all designed to be boss-caliber, akin to the fiends in "Three-Card Bounty", and became gradually more difficult as you progress.

At its core, New Vegas Bounties is an action mod; extreme violence and profanity are ubiquitous. In lieu of mind-boggling puzzles or "go collect x or y resource"-type quests, you will be confronted with dangerous opponents who are designed to frustrate and kill you. You will be harried, ambushed, outnumbered, and outgunned. This is the path of a bounty hunter - take it or leave it.

This is my first mod for New Vegas, but I've released multiple action/adventure plugins for TES IV. If you leave comments or suggestions I will always respond, and make every effort to correct bugs or conflicts should they arise.
This adapts several characters and elements from JarheadWriter's mod, Potomac Breaks (FO3), with his permission.

It includes 436 lines of fully-voiced dialogue (as of version 1.2). I will continue to polish the lip-syncing in future updates, as it is a time-consuming process (and I've gained new respect for voiced mods!).

If you love it, hate, or are just indifferent, please post comments. My mods live and die by users who provide feedback!

Balancing:
This is an ongoing project, and I will adjust difficulty and rewards based on player feedback. Currently the mod will grant the player an addition perk for increased DT upon completion. (+ 2% DT)

As of version 1.2, the mod includes the [Taunt] speech option in confrontations with the final boss; when this is selected it will dramatically enhance the difficulty of the fight.

Compatibility:
- I try to ensure that my mods are as low-impact/conflict as possible. Besides a handful of remote bunkers and a shack, this mod only consists of NPC's, so it should be conflict-free. Please let me know if anything arises.

The Community: BadPenney and other pros on the forums have been a huge help (whether they realize it or not) by posting guides and tutorials for amateurs like me. Thanks!

You: Yes, you, the player who downloads and evaluates this mod. I depend on you to excoriate any failings and praise the successes. Thank you for playing New Vegas Bounties!

Installation:
Extract the files from the Archive into your New Vegas data folder. (Current Version: 1.2); Replace the version 1.2 .esp with the update 2 .esp (not mandatory, but it will fix several annoying bugs).

Please reference the readme if you encounter any bugs or have questions. If the readme/FAQ doesn't help, PM me.

Starting the Quest:
Just activate the plugin in your mod manager or data files, load your savegame, and a message will appear and initiate the quest.

Versions/Updates:
Version 1.1: Corrects scripting issue in Fields' Shack

Version 1.1 Update:
- Removes the essential tag for Randall
- Quest fails if you kill Randall
- Fred's unarmed skill and HP are boosted
- Hunter's toughness is unplayable, and is now a 2% DT boost
- The quest script stops running upon completion
- Should fix the bugs with the "Now Hiring!" And "Quantrill's Notes" bugs
- Quigley's perception boosted
- Radio added to shack
- Stage issues at Fred's cave resolved

Version 1.1 Update 2:

Version 1.2:
- More dialogue choices (with a total of 436 lines of dialogue now)
- More AV/Perk checks
- An optional [Taunt] Speech option that increases the difficulty of the final boss (It's no joke - consider yourself warned)
- More written content, including written copies of each bounty (in case you're not paying attention to Randall's speech - some of you requested this)
- All the audio is revamped and balanced for quality (it's not perfect, but it's definitely an improvement)
- Tony's second line voiced (along with all other dialogue)
- All AV/Perk checks are corrected
- Iron Sights on "Sweet Revenge" are working now (Thanks to Sebazz)
- A few other fixes

Version 1.2 Update 1:
- Not as many "Equalizers"
- Fingers only in the target's inventory upon death
- Payment is included for Bounty #7
- A few extra Notes and Teasers

Version 1.2 Update 2:
- *Finally* adds a map marker for the shack (due to popular demand)
- Jack no longer sits there with his thumb up his ass; he's a veritable killer now.
- Corrects a few grammatical mistakes

The Sequel:
- New Vegas Bounties II is currently a WIP. There is a link to the teaser image in the "Mirrors" section.

Companions:
- The mod is compatible with companions in a technical sense, but I recommend leaving them at home in the interests of balance and difficulty (the final fight notwithstanding).

Other:
Please contact me if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns. I'm very open to ideas for future chapters in this series.
I am known to give out kudos to those who correctly identify historic and/or popular fictional references.
