Legacy Reborn - Capital Cut

Legacy Reborn Capital Cut aims to overhaul all landscape (and more) textures across Fallout 3 and it's DLCs while retaining their vanilla essence. What exactly does this mean? Many texture packs like to make radically large visual changes, and while this isn't necessarily bad I find that the soul of Fallout 3 can get lost in all the new visuals. Legacy Reborns mission statement is simple: Keep the essence of vanilla, but in a modern quality standard. Almost all textures share a similar visual profile to their vanilla counterparts, with some exceptions being made for textures and objects that were already visually ambiguous in the base game. The core of this texture pack revolves around landscape textures, however a few extra goodies have been thrown in out of an urge to create them, such as concrete quads, roads, and some architecture pieces.

Q: How does this differ from the New Vegas release and what's the point of a separate cut?

A: This version of the pack covers only assets found in Fallout 3, with the New Vegas and TTW support cut out. This was done to offer the pack to those who want to play base Fallout 3 while keeping the file size down by removing textures that will never be seen in this game.

Q: What resolution is the pack in? Which should I download?

A: The pack is separated into 3 quality presets; "Quality", "Balanced", and "Performance". "Quality" is almost entirely 2K, "Performance" is almost entirely 1K, and "Balanced" is a mix of 2K and 1K. These naturally should scale to your PC specs, lower end PC's should aim for "Performance", higher end PC's should aim for "Quality".

Q: What's the compatibility of this mod? Does it need any patches?

A: Naturally, as a texture pack it will overwrite other texture packs already installed. I personally suggest installing this over something like NMC's, as this mod doesn't cover everything. This mod shouldn't need any additional patches, and is pre-patched for LODgen and other LOD resources.

Q: What's the hit to performance? Is there a frame rate drop?

A: This largely depends on your system. Using the "Quality" version, I personally notice no framerate drop even with an ENB and weather mod, however some people may notice drops on lower end systems while using the higher quality versions.

Q: Is this landscapes exclusive? Can you retexture 'x' object?

A: This mod started out with landscapes as the main focus, but as work was done on it the mod was expanded to include some other game assets. In the future other objects may be expanded on via a case-by-case basis.
