Immersive Legendary Mutations

(Because I haven't made a mod with immersive in the title yet...)

  • []A text message is no longer displayed when an enemy mutates

    []An enemy mutates at a random health percentage (with a bell curve distribution around half health)

    []Enemies no longer heal when mutating, unless they have a specific "healing" mutation

Our primary suspect is the instute, as this is likely yet another experiment gone too far. Scribes are continuing to gather samples, as our patrols continue the work of cleansing The Commonwealth of these abominations in the effort to prevent this phenomenon spreading to the local human population, however I fear our efforts may have come too late...

    Technical Report : Commonwealth, Technological Factions

    Our scribes have observed an usuaul level of robotic activity within the commonwealth. They hypothesize that one or more unknown factions have been at work, modifying standard robots with non factory upgrades, for reasons we have yet to discover. Interestingly, it does not appear to be the work of the instute, the modifications are skilled, adapted shield emitters and self repair protocols for example, however they
