A quest to transition from being The Lone Wanderer to becoming The courier

The quest could be as soon as you arrive in the mojave after a 4 year long journey you are given a quest marker telling you to look at a message board (a simple board with random posters on it) and you see a note saying Courier wanted. You head over to primm where you talk with a voiced NPC. You are asked if your here for the courier position and told to deliver a chip to vegas through goodsprings. As soon as you get to the graveyard the screen goes black and the intro to Fallout New Vegas starts. You the. Wake up in docs house where you choose to either remake your character or keep the same one.

I just want to know, if its possible and how long it should take.

Sure it's possible. There are caveats though.

TTW takes the assumption that getting shot in Goodsprings wipes the player's memory of everything that happened between leaving DC and getting shot.

The assumption is that you hop on the train and make your way west, you spend some time as a Courier and even settle down in Hopeville for a while (causing the events in the Divide). At some point you are given the task of delivering the platinum chip and as you pass through Goodsprings, you are shot. Of course the player remembers none of this due to amnesia caused by the bullet.

So creating it as a mod wouldn't be impossible, but it would break some continuity.

Gonna swallow my own pride, considering my financial situation I cannot put up one hundred dollars, however a simple request. If the majority of the team working on TOTW considers these suggestions in any way shape or form, I hope they are implemented. I also want no credit for ideas, as I have no knowledge of modding, I can't even create an NPC with the GECK.

I wouldn't have take your money anyway, modding for pay is bad practice. I was just calling your bluff. We are working on filling in some of the gaps between leaving DC and arriving in Goodsprings, but it is a lot of work and is low priority. It won't be exactly what you asked (we haven't even decided what it WILL be yet) but it will be done at some point.
