📋 About This Mod
- Do you remember completing the main quest for the first time and seeing the faction you helped show up all over the world? How all of those prewar military checkpoints were suddenly staffed by people actively fighting to make the world a safer (or at least a more controlled) place? Did you ever notice how if you kept playing, those checkpoints would dwindle and die, with your faction callously abandoning the Commonwealth to whatever was willing to have a go at them? Perhaps you missed the loving embrace of those "Defend the checkpoint" miscellaneous quests every time you went anywhere? Or maybe you just wanted more loot from known locations, who am I to judge? Regardless, this (probably isn't) the mod for you!
FEATURES
