PREFACE  
  
Once upon a time FPS were fast and did not rely on endless cinematic scenes which bind the player to watch rather than to play. This needed to end ...  
  
In Fallout we started as **Vault Dweller**  
In Fallout 2 we started as **Vault Cultist**  
In Fallout 3 (Fallout Van Buren) we started as **Prisoner**  
In Fallout 4 (Fallout Tactics) we started as **Brotherhood of Steel Recruit**  
In Fallout 5 (Fallout 3) we started as **Baby Boy**  
In Fallout 6 (New Vegas) we started as **Courier**  
In Fallout 7 (Fallout 4) we started as **Vault Volunteer**  
  
In non-BGS games character creation was short, in BGS games character creation was long and tied to unskippable starting sequence ... in fact Fallout 3 and 4 had the most weird starting scene of all super annoying due to its unskippable cinematic approach, the logical consequence to this was to bring it down to the essentials - character creation and done - Wake up in Cryo Pod without any pre-cut-scene while keeping the base game quest line as much as possible.  
 **FROST** did it right, **DUST** did it right, and other skip starting sequence mods such as **Start Me Up** and else did it obviously right.  
  
All i wanted to allow player char with this mod, was to trick the game without using additional scripts, quest and menus by swapping only vanilla records and quest entries at a minimum with maximum effect while keeping all relevant objects in Vault 111, the main difference to other Start Me Up mods.  
  
Overview  
  
- Player char wakes up in the Cryo Pod upon starting a New Game  
- Kellogg Baby scene is skipped  
- SPECIAL menu will pop-up after Cryo Pod Exit  
- Vault 111 exploration similar to vanilla Fallout 4

Technical Issues  
  
Upon starting a new game there is a few ms long white flash, this is impossible to change since its a leftover IMAD/IMOD or just imagespace modifier in code. My goal was to not touch code and recompile anything so it will probably stay forever.  
  
Currently player char will start as male character.
