📋 About This Mod
REMEMBER: I need your feedback to improve this mod! Post the pros and cons in the comments section so that I know what to keep and what to change. Legion Rebalanced is a mod that edits the inventories and stats of members of the legion to be more lore-friendly. This mod was created to keep the vanilla look of the legion, but make them lore-friendly through their stats. If you\'re looking for a mod that changes the look of the legion, check out Caesar\'s New Regime or Caesar\'s Legion Overhaul. In terms of NCR improvements, I would recommend checking out ADAM or NCR Rearmament. The Legionnaires will still give you or the NCR the challenge needed with those mods activated. V2 Changes include: - All regular legionnaires speed is set to 130% (this is actually the vanilla value, believe it or not) - Various Health improvements on higher ranking Legionnaires. - Machete\'s damage changed from 11 to 20. - Recruit Legionnaires receive a perk that increases their melee damage by 10. - Prime Legionnaires have a randomly selected ranged and melee weapon arsenal. - Prime Legionnaires receive a perk that increases their melee damage by 15. - Veteran Legionnaires have a ranged weapon arsenal, as well as their melee weapon arsenal. - Veteran Legionnaires now level with the player. - Veteran Legionnaires receive a perk that increases their melee damage by 20. - Centurions, Praetorians, and Vexillarius all have 20% Damage Resistance. - Centurions speed is set to 140%. - Centurions receive a perk that increases their melee damage by 30. - Praetorians receive a perk that increases their unarmed damage by 30. - Vexillarius receive a perk that increases their melee damage by 30. -The DamWar Facemask is made playable and can be collected from some NPC\'s around the wastes. Notably, Great Khans V2_1. -Primes and Veterans don\'t have the toughness perk anymore, this was purely because I saw that it only allowed them to do well against groups of enemies. This will hopefully resolve the problem of Veteran Legionaires defeating groups of NCR troopers. (In my tests it has helped) -Installation: Just extract the files provided into your data folder. - Version 2_1 is the current version and does not require Version 2 to run. - Do not use 2 versions of this mod together. -Uninstallation: Delete the LegionLoreFriendly.esp file. - The meshes in V2 are a placeholder worldmodel for the DamWar Facemask. You can delete that too. -Current Issues: - This file DOES NOT work with Factions Reloaded : Legion. You will CTD immediately if you run both. If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to post them in the comments section.
