Raider Gangs Extended

-Porter Gage

Why is t

his Mod Needed?

The vanilla raiders in Fallout 4 are strangely unified from our perspective as the sole survivor. This mod aims to break up some of that odd feeling while maximizing compatibility with the rest of the commonwealth and your own mod list.

What does it add?

• []Many new groups of competing raider gangs and NPCs just trying to survive.
  • []30+ named raider and survivor bosses at existing raider camps, outposts, and vantage points around the Commonwealth.
    • []Danger! Some areas that were relatively safe to pass through are now much more lawless. The Fens, South Boston, Cambridge, the North End, East Boston, and certain outposts now have more of a distinct identity. Some easily forgotten areas, may now provide a more difficult experience.

    • []A new way to play the game, if you are used to sprinting around and draining all your AP at early levels you might get taken out by dangerous raiders. They grew up in the wasteland and vault dwellers fresh out of Vault 111 are probably going to want to avoid them. RGE NPCs are higher level than many NPC encounters in the early game and many have additional perks granting various bonuses.

    Is this Mod Lore-Friendly?

    Each new raider gang's identity and location was carefully designed to be lore friendly (or at least lore compatible) and to fit in the part of the map in which you will find them. Some existing gangs and minor factions have loose trade agreements with these new npcs (everybody has to get their chems from somewhere).

    Just because Preston says you are the General doesn't mean that every former member of the Minutemen will see it that way.

    Many small groups of tribal NPCs would rather be left out of the larger conflicts between the BOS, Institute, Minutemen, and Railroad. These groups may be even be relatively peaceful, but still won't appreciate new scavs on their turf.

    There are occasional additions that are less lore-based, but still fit within the spirit of the apocalyptic world of Fallout and Bethesda's imaginative version of New England.

    Compatibility

    This mod is designed to be compatible with most raider, weapon, gameplay, and even faction overhauls. It does not edit existing leveled lists and was balanced to add signific
