Take a seat, courier, I won’t grudge you the ammo. Just stay out of the canyon — geckos get mean after noon.

What you need

New Vegas: 1.4.0.525, Steam or GOG. Epic and Microsoft Store won’t do: xNVSE doesn’t work there
Fallout 4: Steam or GOG. A version newer than 1.10.163 is rolled back as the first install step
Builds: The launcher recognizes ready-made builds by name: Fallout: New Vegas Extended Edition, Tale of Two Wastelands Enhanced, Fallout 4 Afterglow, Fallout 4 Misery. Clean New Vegas, Tale of Two Wastelands and Fallout 4 work too
AI model: A key for any OpenAI-compatible provider — or Ollama on this PC: no key, no internet. Boosty subscribers get a key with a monthly limit from the author, to try it
Voice: Piper on CPU; OmniTTS and XTTS on a GPU; cloud Inworld — with a key

What it does

Two games, one character

The launcher assembles Tale of Two Wastelands: it checks both games, prepares the folder, shows what to type into the builder’s windows and plugs the finished build in.

NPC voices

New Vegas supports cloning: each NPC’s voice is taken from their own vanilla lines.

Speak out loud

Microphone: Russian and English recognition models install with everything else.

Russian game version

Supported. You can type to NPCs in Russian: a plugin the launcher installs provides the keyboard layout in the input field.

Russian game dub

The regular actor-recorded lines switch to Russian with the “NPC voice” switch.

Some mods by hand

Some mods must be downloaded by hand: the launcher opens the right pages and picks the archives up from Downloads.

Getting started

Four steps

Get the archive on Boosty
Launchers are distributed on the author’s page — by subscription or by buying a post. There are no archives in public repositories.
Unzip and run
Into any folder. Run AD.Caravos.exe.
Follow the prompts
From here the launcher leads: what to install, what is not ready yet, what to press.
Launch the game and talk to the characters
When everything is ready, press “Play”: the launcher starts the game for you. All that is left is to walk up to any NPC and start talking.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the launcher have to stay open while I play?

In New Vegas, yes: the game stores text in the Windows-1251 code page, and the launcher runs a bridge that re-encodes requests and replies. In Fallout 4 the mod speaks Russian on its own; the launcher only has to stay open for voices other than Piper.

Do you ship the games or the Tale of Two Wastelands builder?

No. You need your own licensed copies, and the builder is downloaded from its authors’ page.
