📋 About This Mod

Svartberg has modified this mod and by adding in a slightly more interesting way of being trained by the Outcasts. Check it out here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=8393 New Add-on: Linden in Oasis Original file still says \"New Version\". Regretfully, I cannot change the description. It has not been updated since before the Medic Armor Add-on was released. You do not need to download the original file again! Are you ever annoyed that the ONLY way you can learn to use Power Armor is by progressing through the the Main Quest? Have you ever wished that there would be some way to avoid the Brotherhood, yet still gain the ability to use Power armor? Now you can! This mod adds two other ways to attain Power Armor training. Now there are optional add-ons that add even more ways! 1. If you bring Protector Casdin at Fort Independence enough technology to gain the Outcast\'s trust, he\'ll give you a set of Outcast Power armor and teach you how to use it. 2. Go the Fort Constantine, and find the terminal next to the T-51B Power Armor. From the terminal you can download a Power Armor manual to your Pip-Boy Optional: Download the Medic Armor Manual Add-on if you want to find a Power Armor Manual in the Old Olney sewers, next to the Medic Armor corpse. Optional: Download the Linden in Oasis Add-on if you want to learn Power Armor Training when Branchtender Linden gives you his Outcast Power Armor. I\'ll take requests for other ways to get Power Armor Training, just post a comment with your request. Other mods you way wish to check out: 1. Claw - Power Armor Training: An excellent mod that changes the way Power Armor Training works. In this mod, you can wear Power Armor from the beginning, but if you get Power Armor Training it will give you bonuses when wearing the armor. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1881 2.
