An alternative would be making the quest-giving village be Goodsprings, and you get my quest after proving yourself by taking care of the Powder Gangers. I'm still at a point where I can easily change the concept. That not everyone wants to start a new game to play a mod is a feeble argument, it's already decided that this mod aims for low level characters, there wouldn't be much fun playing it with mid or late game characters. The other, stronger, argument against that idea is that there can be only one alternative start mod, with my mod I would compete with anyone who had a similar idea. The best I can hope for is to piece together a couple of Ron Perlman quotes to get some proper narration for a slideshow or cutscene intro.

One downside is that I obviously can't make a nifty CGI intro. The Pip-Boy is yours to begin with, and the doc just gives you the stuff you 'acquired' while playing my mod. When the story is finished, you continue the journey, the original New Vegas Intro starts, and you wake up in Doc Mitchell's House. You make a stop at a small village there (or even pick up the Platinum Chip in the local Mojave Express outpost) and are asked to help the good folks, who were raided and robbed recently. The current concept is that my mod plays during the player's trip to Goodsprings, near Death Valley, halfway between Goodsprings and New Reno. Companions would make no sense story-wise and so on.

My WIP is meant to be a stealth-based low level adventure, at higher levels loot and monetary and xp rewards would be unappealing, there would be no challenge for the player if there are mainly easy and very easy locks, and no opponent is above 3rd level.
