We thought about releasing two mods, but then we figured it would be easier to install with less bugs if we just released it all as one. So here you go, both of our mods together for your enjoyment. |

 This mod consists of exactly what the title says. 5 short stories, at first seeming independent in nature, weave together into a web of mystery and deceit. Work with the colorful cast of characters or carve your own path to discovering the true secrets hidden beneath the surface.
Features
-2 new companions-11 major characters -5 quests-3 small towns-2 misc interiors-1 enemy base-4 minor factions-1 radio station-3 new guns-1 new power armor-Fully voiced characters-Dynamic npc dialogue from companions and non companions.-Multiple ways to progress through the story-Mystery solving quests and non-violent options-Hancock piloting a vertibird-Wannabee superheros -A banjo playing robot-Civilized super mutants-Gather a large army to fight an even larger army-Lots of lore references to Fallout 1 and Fallout Tactics-No mention of Shaun or finding your son
The Goal
The main goal behind 5 Short Stories is story interaction. If you play through this mod 10 times, we predict you will experience the story in 10 different ways. Events and characters are set up in a modular, not linear way. This means that the path you take to explore this story is set up by you, not us. You are the narrator to your own story, you are an essential piece to the final artwork.
This mod is not about fetch quests and repetitive battles to clear locations. Every quest is very story driven but set up in a way where you are free to pursue the leads you see fit. The lines that separate one quest from another will blur together as you uncover more information.
We did our best to experiment with the possibilities of interactive dialogue to create colorful characters. Each character is engaged in the story in their own unique way. They interact not only with you, but with each other, naturally bringing their personality traits to the surface in a way that traditional 'interview' style dialogue can't do. We hope that you feel a sense of community from these characters, and that you want to invest in them the way they invest in you.
