New Vegas: 2281
(Unofficial) Custom Fallout System
New Vegas: 2281

October 19, 2281. The Courier — shot and left for dead in a shallow grave at Goodsprings — wakes with a headache, a stranger's unique appearance on their lips, and a score to settle. The Second Battle of Hoover Dam is weeks away. NCR and Caesar's Legion bleed for the Dam, Mr. House hunts the Platinum Chip from the Lucky 38, and Benny has made an enemy of the wrong courier. The Mojave is a powder keg waiting for one match. It's the perfect time to make a fortune, change history, or catch a bullet.

New Vegas Awaits

Make Your Fortune, Change History, or Catch a Bullet

The year is 2281. The Mojave Wasteland is a powder keg waiting for a spark — and the spark just woke up in Goodsprings with two bullets in its head. The cold war between the NCR and Caesar's Legion is weeks from the Second Battle of Hoover Dam. Mr. House hunts the Platinum Chip from the neon rot of Vegas. Benny sits on the throne he stole, gloating over a courier he thought he'd buried. The giants are distracted, the fuse is lit, and the wrong person just got shot. It's the perfect time to make a fortune, change history, or catch a bullet.

Glimpses
Author's note

Imported and cut up from the Friends and Fables Version. Utilized the Living World Engine Package to adapt and improve the project for Craft. I hope its okay!

REVAMPED to the canonical New Vegas start — October 19, 2281. The Courier is shot at Goodsprings Cemetery, wakes in Doc Mitchell's, and the Mojave is weeks from the Second Battle of Hoover Dam. No more 11-months-earlier headaches; this is New Vegas as players know and love it.

A lot of images are missing. Been spending a bit too much on credits tbh so slowing down for now.

Some stuff may still refer to the DM as Franz or the old Friends and Fables system. Ill get there eheh.

Ding me on Discord for anything thats majorly messed up, gonna set as public while I playtest 😌 enjoy xo
