📋 About This Mod
Summary
Adjusts faction armor to only affect infamy, allowing positive reputation to be maintained while wearing faction armor.
Normally, faction armors will reset both your fame (positive reputation) and infamy (negative reputation) to 0 for all factions. This means that wearing NCR armor while idolized, would make you neutral with the NCR. This never made much sense.
I have removed all adjustments to fame from the faction armor scripts. Your infamy will still be adjusted. This will not prevent you from being attacked for wearing opposing faction armors. This only allows you to maintain your positive reputation while wearing faction armor.
Features
-
[]Faction armor is now usable in a positive manner (i.e. as a representative of a faction), instead of only in a negative (i.e. espionage) manner
