*********************************************** AS Companions NCCS - Mr. Dark & Co. Expanded *********************************************** 01/21/2018 by AedanStarfang I. Background Originally I made the mod "EZ Mr. Dark & Co" using the Ez companion framework by Bezen. While it is a universally very simple and easy system to use its forced scripts prevent me from having the freedom of placing companions where I please (instead having everyone hunker down inside of the EZ Companion room). With the Nosco system I have recreated the same companions and scattered them throughout the wasteland, for example the AS Companions HQ building is already on your map and is where Dex Wellington can be found, Jessie Jane is in the visitor's center of the NCRCF Facility, ect. II. Installation Obviously you need to install the Nosco master mod first so do that then drop my mod into the New Vegas data folder launch the game (via launcher not NVSE) and activate the appropriate plugin(s).

Unmarked Objectives If you visit Xa Mo's base and read the note (holotape) on his desk you will learn that he sent his friend out to recover some derelict weapons caches throughout the Mojave. However upon going outside the building you discover that this friend 'Xing' is actually sleeping instead of out searching and he has left a handy note detailing where the caches could be read the note(s) and start your search! There was a weapon so powerful and so dangerous to the Chinese Army during Operation Anchorage that it had to be taken and hidden away from prying eyes FOREVER! Now is your time to find it, head to the new Vegas Medical Clinic from there walk to the abandoned Park near the crazed Brahmin pen and follow the trail of blood that leads through a sort of used car lot until you find it. Giant Man-Goat Things supposedly roam alongside Big Horners in the Mountain Ranch State Park, be wary. V.
