About
The High Desert is a relatively open-ended quest mod with everything you'd expect from a quest mod I made. A bit of dungeon crawling here, some wanton murder there, and a cast of (mostly insane) characters for you to speak with and/or violently murder. Build a saloon, do drugs with hippie astrologers, punch lots of dudes in a cave, achieve astral enlightenment. Naturally, everything is fully-voiced and lip-synced, and extensive bug-testing has been performed at the cost of my own sanity. You're welcome.
