📋 About This Mod
PATCH 1. 1 Released : Now comes with a fully-voiced Storyteller Companion and a modifiable EDNA!
T-49 Power Armor - Armor of the Storyteller
You've watched him for years, now finally see things through his eyes and make your own story. The T-49 Power Armor has become iconic as the Storyteller travelled the Wasteland, now the ROAD TO LIBERTY team is giving you the opportunity wear it yourself.
What is it?
The T-49 Power Armor is an entirely new Power Armor for Fallout 4 that is independent and standalone. Take it from an early-game armor to a formidable mid-level Power Armor, or change it to suit the kind of Storyteller you are. Not only does it nearly every object modification that you might find on other Power Armors, but it also two special subtypes. Desert Recon not only grants the pilot superior recon sensors, but in sunlight, switches from fusion cores to solar power. Lastly, but not leastly, take the mantle of the Winter Death subtype, and live up to it's infamous reputation and let enemies' last thought be that they are safe.
Where is it?
You can find this armor by picking up it's pieces from the very start of the game. Have a fusion core handy, as you'll find the Power Frame, complete with some T-49 pieces to the North-West of Vault 111. Find two pieces in Red Rocket Station, and finally find the T-49 Helm facing Sean's cot in your old home.
Compatibilities
There is very unlikely to be any compatibility issues, as the T-49 is just as independent as the Storyteller. The only issue may be the headlamp. If you have any other Power Armor, or mod that uses the Add On Node 290-291, there may be a conflict and the headlamp will not work.
Features

- An Institute, Railroad and Military Coat.
- Specific abilities of Desert Recon - being a superior kind of Recon Sensor and Solar Power - Fusion Batteries drain at a drastically reduced rate during sunlight.

Future Plans
The White Death and the Desert Recon won't be the only subtypes for the T-49, but for now, that's a story for another day...
