Steam informs me that Fallout: New Vegas is my second-most-played recreation of all time (after Crusader Kings 2), and I’ll nonetheless take any excuse in addition it up once more. Fortunate for me, then, that some enterprising modders have launched an ongoing on-line contest going down completely inside the borders of NV’s Mojave Desert.
Known as Prepared Courier One and created by a modder named TommInfinite, the mod is “an internet contest for Fallout: New Vegas the place anybody can win the prize.” The competition centres round 26 riddles about numerous bits of Fallout lore. You put in it, get offered with a riddle, and got down to press N on the reply—which might be something from an NPC to a minor static object—someplace in New Vegas or its DLCs, besides Sincere Hearts for some purpose. It is aware of what it did.
But it surely’s all on-line, you see. Your solutions get despatched off to some distant server which decides in the event that they’re right or not, and also you’re in competitors with each different participant trudging throughout the desert. The primary participant to reply the twenty sixth and closing riddle will internet themselves any three video games from the Nexus Mods Donation Factors retailer, which options stuff like Divinity: Authentic Sin 2, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Crusader Kings 3, and, uh, Fallout: New Vegas.
It is an concept I like loads, and a great way to breathe life into an outdated and dusty traditional. To present as many individuals as attainable an opportunity to take part, the total suite of riddles is releasing in three batches. The primary set is out now, the second will come out on January 21, and the ultimate set will probably be launched on January 27. Whoever solutions the ultimate riddle will get a code phrase to put up within the mod’s remark part on Nexus Mods, making them the winner.
The competition requires a couple of issues to get working, however nothing extra difficult than your common Skyrim mod. You will want NVSE, the JIP LN NVSE Plugin, and the SUP NVSE add-on, then you definitely’ll simply have to drop the contents of Prepared Courier One’s .rar file into your New Vegas Knowledge Recordsdata folder.
You will additionally have to get an API key from Nexus Mods to plug into the pop-up field that greets you once you launch the sport for the primary time. After which? To the victor go the spoils.
