📋 About This Mod

Overview

With plenty of modders going radio-silent, their mods have since been riddled with a few problems, neglected to be fixed. I've since taken liberties to fix these problems and improve upon the mods myself, and Faction Wasteland Presence is no exception as I've used it for a while now.

List of changes

  • []Brotherhood presence is now handled in a much better way. Instead of having to travel to the Brotherhood safehouse, paladins will now patrol areas depending on completion of certain quests using event handlers. After completing Still in the Dark, paladins will patrol the outside area of Hidden Valley and the REPCONN headquarters. Paladins will also now appear in the Silver Rush or on Black Mountain, depending on completion of Tend to Your Business or Eyesight to the Blind.[/]

    []Brotherhood relationship with certain factions is now tweaked. If Still in the Dark is completed, the Lucky 38 faction and the Brotherhood will now be hostile with each other, and Van Graff vs Brotherhood if Eyesight to the Blind is completed.[/]

    []NCR troopers, Brotherhood paladins and Great Khans now uses leveled NPCs instead of a single inividual NPC, meaning their appearances are now properly randomized with each playthrough.[/]

    []Securitrons on the wasteland now properly talk instead of staying silent.[/]

    []Plenty of dirty and arbitary edits have been removed.[/]

    BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL

    Do you find it immersion breaking when you lift the lockdown for the Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel, yet the Brotherhood still remain in their bunker without any presence on the outside?

    Well, this mod addresses that! After completing the quests, "Tend to Your Business" or "Eyesight to the Blind", depending on which Elder is in command, Brotherhood of Steel Paladins will spawn and patrol the area in four different locations. The first is at the front entrance of Hidden Valley, the second is in front of the REPCONN Headquarters, the third is on top of Black Mountain, and the fourth is inside the Silver Rush. The Paladins at the Silver Rush will kill the Van Graffs and then leave right after. They are set to travel back to Hidden Valley to patrol the northern perimeter fence.

    These areas capture the interest of the Brotherhood of Steel as they posses significant amounts of high level technology. The Paladins are set to respawn in case they are killed during combat with the Super Mutants of Black Mountain, or the Van Graffs of Silver Rush. This mod effectively gives the feeling of power being restored to the Brotherhood of Steel after completing their quest-line and ending their lockdown.
