Making an Alternate Start

[cgy95]

Hi, I'm trying to make a proof of concept to make my own complete overhaul mod. I was wondering how the game knows which quest to run first to begin Fallout 4. Fallout 4 MQ101 seems to be the first quest but say I wanted to point it to one of my design, how would I do such a thing? I know its possible considering Fallout London exists.

I basically want to (as safely as possible) drop the player in a cell of my choosing when they click new game and create my own introduction. It's probably not easy but I am very patient and willing to learn. I have previous programming experience so Papyrus concepts like inheritance aren't new to me.

MQ101 is hard coded into Fallout4.exe.

You could decompile Fallout4.exe to find the offset and inject your own code, or just hack MQ101 quest/script to do what you want.
