Fallout 4 Mod: Gun For Hire (CLOSED)
Project Overview
Gun For Hire, a mod for Fallout 4, is an expansion to February 2020's mod of the month on the Nexus, Crime And Punishment. Gun For Hire seeks to expand upon the concept as the player character as a mercenary, taking jobs to get by in a way that is completely independent of the main narrative of the game or it's official DLC content. Gun For Hire (GFH) seeks to provide a role playing environment, unparalleled in scope, technology and longevity.
At this time, I am actively seeking 4 people, 2 ladies and 2 gentlemen to provide voicing for the characters that appear in the mod. One set of people to record the lines used by the assistant the player hires to help them find work and the other set of people to voice the clients. The assistant requires a male and female speaker, as do the clients. Average word count for the assistant, at this time, is roughly 500 - 800, best guess. Client lines will be significantly more, upwards of 1500 or so words. While the assistant roles have identical lines and word count, the client lines will vary, as some jobs do not require both genders.
If you're a fan of Fallout or looking to start out and pad your CV, I could surely use the help. This is a mod... its hundreds of my hours spent coding some of the most advanced stuff this game has ever seen. I do it for free, no Patreon or other social "pay me" platforms, nothing, so, I hate to say it as such, but I am really hoping to find people that love the game as much as I do and will help me without looking for anything more than the satisfaction of being involved in a game-changer, a mod of the month candidate, where tens of thousands of players will hear you on a daily basis. Crime and Punishment, the mod that spawned this one, has to this day, 80,000+ users. So not a small project by any means (and incidentally, one of the most technically advanced overhauls to the entire game, aside from Sim Settlements).
There are the odd swear words in here, but no other content that would be deemed questionable. The content of the mod is no more, no less, than what originally shipped with the game by Bethesda. Not necessarily safe for work, but not anything to be ashamed to put on your CV, that's for sure. Just being honest. It does deal with subject matter of a more mature nature, but nothing overtly sexual or predatory or anything like that - simply moral quandaries, in a grey zone, totally aligned to the world state of the game; post-apocalyptic and lawless, where one person wants to right the wrongs. Or maybe be a part of the problem. That's entirely up to the player.
The mod is in final phase of construction - there are 26 mainline jobs (they can repeat indefinitely, 'I'm sure you can see the appeal for the player here) and a few "off-books jobs" - the more morally grey kinds of jobs. At this time, I have 1 off-books job completed and 20 of the mainline jobs. All have been tested and are production ready. I still have 7 mainline jobs to complete prior to being able to being release ready, so there is loads of time still before anything will need to be finalized. My anticipated release window is mid-to end of March, but can certainly be pushed a couple of weeks if anyone needs more time. I should surely have all lines ready by the end of February; that said, 20 jobs worth of lines are already completed for all four voices required.
NOT a vaporware project! Your time, freely given, will not be wasted. This project is made by a team of one, me, and there is proven track record of annual releases of big, game changing mods on the Nexus. I hope you'll choose to be a part of the next big thing!

This character is the main connection between the "job framework", the programming that governs the jobs. This NPC is nameless, so as to provide the player with the opportunity to name them however they wish. The role comes in either gender, as the player has the choice of which gender they wish their assistant to be once they start playing with the mod. Both roles, male and female, have identical lines.
The Male-side of this role has been cast but I am still looking for the female side.
Hey, thanks for giving me this opportunity. I really appreciate it. I'll just get settled in and start looking for some work for you.
We were contacted by a group of individuals who are looking for some added protection while they head out to do some scavenging. They asked for you to escort them there and back again, watching their backs while they search for valuable items. You interested in helping them out?
This is a really simple one boss. The client would like you to deliver a package for them. I know... you aren't the Diamond City Postal Service. But, its easy money, right? You wanna take the job?
This role is the larger of the roles within the mod. These NPCs are the ones that have issues that they want the player to resolve, for a fee of course. Both genders are required, though they do not share the same word or line count as some jobs do not require both roles.
Please! You've got to help me! My son was taken, kidnapped, and I need your help to get him back. These men... they just showed up out of nowhere and grabbed him. I tried to stop them, I did... but I'm no match for their kind.
Woah stranger. Before you get any closer, tell me... do you have a geiger counter?
Female only audition lines - the player has completed a job, killing a raider who brutally attacked this female client. Upon return, the player choose the cold, money is more important than people option.What I am hoping to find is someone who can capture that emotional range, that indignation of having their trauma, their pains, completely ignored, where they are reduced to nothing more than a paycheck.
"Wow. That's all this way for you? A payout? Caps in your pocket? No thought at all for the victim or their suffering? You're disgusting. Take your damned money and go away."The female side of this role has been cast.
When the player is given a job by the client, oftentimes that involves another NPC to be rescued or killed or given an item (delivery). This role requires both a male and female voice actor.
This line is spoken by a scared settler who has been kidnapped, that the player is trying to rescue.
"Wait! This collar is rigged to explode if I move! Their leader has the combination. You'll need to get it before you can take this off me. HURRY!"The player was tasked with delivery an item to an NPC, only to arrive and find out the NPC was a hired assassin, paid to kill the player.
"You are so oblivious, aren't you? You didn't even smell that this was a setup. Let me spell it out for you. Slowly. I was paid to kill you."
The player delivered an item to an NPC, but it ended up being a kind of "death warning". The NPC begs the player to spare them.
"Listen... whoever it was that sent you, they obviously want to send a message or they want me dead. Please. Let me pay you to kill them instead of me, I'm begging you. I don't want to end up like my brother..."
