Picking up the pieces

[TheWatchman]

I'm requesting for a somewhat straight forward non-combat quest mod that expands a bit on Li's story in Broken Steel. The reason to this is because I find the explanation given to why she's gone quite lame. It really bugs the hell out of me. It's bad enough the vanilla game's ending is bad but this really makes me wonder if anybody in Bethesda bothers reading their own writing.

 

The quest is available only after you've done "Take it back!", you did NOT use the FEV strain Eden gave you, and you haven't blown-up Megaton or did not do the Ghoul hostile take-over in Tenpenny Tower.

 

(The last part is optional for the modder to but Megaton and Tenpenny are the only settlements other than Rivet City I can imagine Li to be in - c'mon, Li in Underworld or Paradise Falls?)

 

Basically it starts when you ask one of the Project Purity Scientists where Doctor Li is, at first they'll give you the basic story, Li had had it with Project Purity, packed her bags and left for the Commonwealth. However with a few skill/perk/SPECIAL checks you'll find she hasn't quite left Washington yet.

 

She'd be in Megaton or Tenpenny Tower, sitting in one of the bars preferably not in her labcoat but something appropriate for travel in the wasteland. Initial dialog will involve her not looking very well and is she okay, her reasons for leaving, her belief that the

 

Brotherhood sees the Project as simply a propaganda tool to improve their image and maybe even her guilt of not not being able to prevent the brotherhood from taking over the Project after the sacrifices the player and his/her father made.

 

You'll have the option to try to convince Li to go back, wish her luck in the commonwealth or for the evil-types a "Don't ever come back *****".

 

If you chose the two former choices you'll also get the option of buying her a drink, she'll laugh and comment about what she said to the player's father of buying her a one the whole ordeal was over.

 

Ending the conversation as this will end the quest. You'll earn good karma for convincing her to go back, none for wishing her luck, bad for being an ass.

 

For more rewards, if you kept Daniel Agincourt, Alex Dargon and Garza alive during the "Waters of Life" quest, talking to them after either convincing or wishing Li luck will net you some small rewards such as meds, energy weapona ammo or caps from each of them.

 

If you convinced Li to come back, she'll be back in the Jefferson Memorial in week, empowered and more than ready to give Bigsley a hard time. After a short conversation, you'll earn yourself a perk, Pure in Spirit, gives 10% more damage to evil npcs.

 

If you were an ass, you'll earn Dark Hearted, gives 10% more damage to good npcs.

 

If there's a mod like what I'm asking, I haven't found it and I blame the good doctor's very generic name for making it quite a chore looking for one.

 

I'll try writing up some basic dialog for this.

 

Hope I'm not asking too much.
