Ready to Go Bounty Hunting?


Bounty Hunting is a messy job. But there's always wanderers willing to do anything for some spare caps...
As the title suggests, I've got one question for my Mojave-exploring readers: Are you ready to go bounty hunting?

I ask because Someguy2000's New Vegas Bounties I is the first of several planned installments that add bounty quests to track down "the most malevolent and vile assortment of outlaws in the Mojave Wasteland" in the same style that the vanilla Three Card Bounty quest did.

A little more about New Vegas Bounties I straight from the author:

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.

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!).

Overall, it feels like something Fallout: New Vegas should have had from the start. It's also great being able to make the scum of the wasteland pay for their misdeeds and put a little jingle jangle in your pocket.
