📋 About This Mod
Maxson uses Power Armour when attacking the Institute. Not compatible with anything that edits the invisible controller quests that make prime attack the institute or clean up 'The Nuclear Option'. Compatible with anything that doesn;t alter the same scripts. Works fine with my 'Conquer the Institute'. Safe to esl flag. Not compatible with the danse Dilemma :(
This Fallout 4 immersion mod makes Elder Maxson wear his power armor during the Institute attack, matching his lore appearance. With 140 endorsements and 35,250 downloads, it's a small but popular tweak for players who want consistency in the final battle.
