📋 About This Mod

UPDATE 9/6/2023 -- This mod has not been updated in years. I'm flattered anyone still has interest in it. It was my first large mod project and it reflects the learning and experience I still needed to gain as a modder. I consider this mod obsolete in my personal load order, but for anyone who still has an interest in it, feel free to modify these files as much as you like. Consider it an open resource. Happy gaming!

------------------------------------------------

There is an FAQ here. Please read it to see if your question has been answered.

Version 1. 2

- Introduces a populated Underground, Player Home, and Foundry thanks to Scottmack!

- Fixes the Dead Sea Armor bug and Explorer armor bug in the shoulder (not vanilla yet)

- Added a merchant based on the Resident Evil 4 merchant! Go buy something from him!

- Adds a little visual treat in the Legate's Camp. This is a taste of better things to come.

Known bug - The arms on the black guy in the foundry look like a white guy's. I'll fix this soon.

Version 1. 1 is here!!

- If you downloaded 1. 0 and can't see Gabriel, either download 1. 1, or move the contents of meshes/creatures/nvmongrel to meshes/creatures/dog. Sorry for the mix-up.

- Nearly all armors have had a texture update thanks to the fantastic work of Weijiesen. The texture updates are not 100% completed, but they are about 80% there.

- Gabriel is now available in the Legion underground. Achilles will tell you in dialogue how to get him in your party. Look for the dialogue option under "Can I ask you a question?"

- NOTE: Achilles' armor is no longer playable and not available for you to remove from his inventory. If you already have it in YOUR inventory, give it back to Achilles before updating to 1. 0. Achilles will give you a playable version of his armor when you get Gabriel back.

- The Praetorian and Prime helmets have been updated to remove the "creepy baby doll face" mask.

- The Heavy Juggernaut now has a new helmet fashioned from a t-45d power helmet

- The vanilla Centurion has been entirely replaced thanks to the work of Tumbajamba. You can now find the old Centurion armor in the dumpster with all other old gear. Now, all three centurion armors in the game have been replaced with unique variants so that each armor tells the tale of past victories. (Note: The centurion armors utilize many texture paths due to their piecemeal nature. It may take a second for your game to catch up after equipping them.)

- Vulpes now wears the new Assassin armor in Caesar's tent. The hit squad has not been tampered with in order to avoid interference with other mods.

- If, for whatever reason, you prefer the old textures for any armor, I have kept these files in the download. You are welcome to adjust things in GECK or nifskope to suit your liking.
