(a FNNCQ2 quest mod)
Fallout New Vegas has a whole faction which bases its existence on slavery. But there is no option in the whole game to allow the player to become a slaver even if he or she is Caesar's champion. This changes now. David has arrived in Vegas and he has big plans.
This mod (actually they are two) is in development about a year and started with Fallout 3 (which gets it's own version of FNNCQ 2). I tried very hard to fit the lore and to keep it as compatible as possible. It is the result of the experience I earned from making and updating FNNCQ for FO3.
The first release will not be at the same level as FNNCQ! I completely changed the basic enslaving technique to make it more compatible, less CPU intensive (FPS rate) and flexible. It is much easier now for me to add additional features in a shorter time.
The hardest and most complicated things are already done. I am wrapping them in the quests in the moment that I designed for them. So if you wonder why you see resources in the Geck you haven't played yet you know now why
. It was always my plan since “Friendly New Neighbours” to publish the enslaving system alongside with quests that are using it. David is the first one where I think I achieved this in a proper way. This is btw. the reason why the WIP thread comes so late. I wanted the mod features at a specific state before I make it public.So if you want to try it early (as soon as it is released) this is possible and you can continue the story as soon as the next quest is ready. Every quest has a logical, fitting and hopefully satisfying end.

I concentrated on the evil play through first but I left in the quest design some hooks for me to add a play through from the other side.
