A mod that introduces new accounts / profiles with both positive and negative, short-term and long-term effects. Adding challenge and flavor. Heavy inspiration from Zero to Hero but with more depth.
I’m not actively working on choice bound, if you want a profile added, comment and I might add it sometime in the future.
Please Note.
This is my first time modding Tarkov, and the entire “balance” of this mod so far is pretty much my opinion. With some inputs from the SPT server and my friends. So I do get if these profiles are not the best, if you have any suggestions add it in the comments or message me on discord with the idea [ PureRussianVodka ] (if you do message me there, please say you came from the mod page. I get a lot of spam)
PS: If your an artist and want to make an icon for Choice Bound, hit me up.
Firstly, HUGE Thanks to ShadowXtrex for letting me use his mod “custom profiles” as a framework to Choice Bound, helping me in its early stages and how to start moding in general.
Special thanks to acidphantasm - for helping me fix choice bound in 1.1.0
!Important PLEASE READ!
Starting with Trader rep less than 1.0 rep makes it so you cant access the traders inventory (besides fence) for buying. Until you reach 1.0 rep. Treat 1.0 rep as the new baseline from 0.0 this was done because a negative number caused issues with traders.
What are the effects?
Currently, its done by modifying the starting : trader rep, stash sizes, equipment and money. (more coming soon tm )
Who is this mod for?
This mod is perfect for players who love challenging starts, similar to the “zero to hero” concept, or just are bored with tarkovs accounts / profiles and crave for more variation and lasting impacts.

-What comes next? Adding config to decide if trader inventory should be disabled if Trader rep is bellow 1
Adding more profiles and making each of them appealing for their own reasons. is priority number 1.
A config to disable profiles that is built in SPT
After that id like to add a custom quest for resolving debts / Unique quests for profiles (if thats even possible. meaning it may not happen)
-Does this work with MPT/Fika?
Yes, suffer with friends.
-Can I remove Defaults SPT profiles?
At the moment this mod has no official way to remove them, ill add a config once I figure it out how.
-Is this compatible with (X) mod?
It should not interfere with any mod.
Can you add support for (x) Trader?
If there’s enough demand, ill do it.

Fixed a bug that caused the console to show at the start of raids on some profiles.
if you had this happen, go inside the profile and edit the following values to;
“MemberCategory”: 1024,
“SelectedMemberCategory”: 1024,

**Sorry for the delay, planned to get this out much sooner but life happened. Profile changes:
+ Precision = power (a sniper focused profile)
Added unheard icons to all profiles
Changed all description on profiles to better understand what is included instead of relying on Mod page
examples:
Whats next?
- adding mastery levels to profiles that need it and adding a shotgun focused profile**

Entirely reworked Alligence = Power for both sides.
Reason?
Seamed like a pretty heavy rep hit early, without many good items and just made it unappealing to play. And because i was informed by @yurikus that the Adar is Russian
Made Usec have generally higher quality, While Bear generally have more to work with
(See Updated profiles, in the profiles subtab of modpage)
Usec
2 M4s and mutant (don’t know how I feel about a mutant, if its extreme please say)
2 M9a3
1 class 4 armor
2 class 3 armors
4 class 3 helmets
100k rubles
400 usd
Bear
2 Adar’s and 2 AKMS 2 AKS-74UB
4 Pl-15s
4 class 3 armors
5 class 3 helmets
250k rubles
Unchanged (both sides)

Allegiance = power had wrong values. fixed credit to Finem Belli for catching that.

Money=Power profile had starting rep of - 0.22 instead of - 0.12 That has been fixed.

THE NEW BASLINE IS (1) NOT (0.0)
completely redid profiles so the new baseline is (1.0) meaning having 0.8 rep at the start is equivalent to having -0.2 rep. This was done because adding any amount rep from a quest, to a negative rep number would result in the trader standing rep being set to 0.0.
completely defeating the purpose of having a rep penalty.

Could you make a Profile like, Hardcore Zero to Hero, Unheard Edition (because of Blue Name or EOD for Yellow) Stash size 1 and then nothing. Just rep for Traders at -1?
Or on the Other side, could you make like a short guide how to do it ?
I think this mod might be the reason the console opens before and after every raid on its own
An idea worth investigating is starting off with some skills at higher levels. Maybe even negative skills similar to the debt.
This mod reminds me of Traits in Project Zomboid and I like it.
Adar is a Russian invention, USEC should have M4s.
Another option is to bring some variety: instead of 3 AK74’s, have two of them and one ADAR, this way BEAR can use 5.56 as well, lore accurate per ADAR.
Same for USEC - give it one Mutant, YMMV, just my observations, cheers
Think there was a mistake in the update, Allegiance = Power with USEC also makes you start with better with Prapor and Therapist instead of Skier, Peacekeeper, Mechanic and Ragman like the BEAR
is it possible to add a profile with the waist pouch as the secure container and even make it a 2 slot lol
like a zero to hero you have nothing only thing is the alpha container but that is to big lol for this profile
rags to riches = Zero To Hero
me just rambling lol
Great Mod Though
Hello,
Thank you for your mod.
I like the overall idea of this, having pros and cons to certain playstyles brings more variability in playthroughs.
I noticed that the “debt” can be deleted like regular items.
Could this be circumvented by adding negative currency amounts to the traders’ reputation page?
(I.E. Peacekeeper has -50k USD “spent”)
Thank you for your time,
-Kay
Here’s an interesting idea, if you like it:
A profile that builds your inventory from Fence’s item list
Maybe you could take a preset rouble value as a threshold, randomly select items (perhaps filtering out absolute junk, but hey its essentially a gamble), and then select a spread of the highest, lowest, and moderately valued items until you hit that limit.
To add to the flavor, you can add scav rep.
Power = Luck?
Survival = Power?
Hope you like the idea! Thanks for the great work!
I think I might be an absolute idiot but I can’t manage to make this work, sorry
really unique idea, great work.
