Really love the direction you went with this mod. Great new look for Maxson and very lore friendly.
Edit: in spite of how much I love the look this gives Maxson I can not get it to load. I've tried a manual install into my data folder, as well as a install via NMM and neither technique will get it to load. I do however get an error that the .esp can't be activated and then it seems to simply close.
Anyone have any tips on this? I'm using the installer version of this mod btw. I'm going to try the looksmenu version and just force the new look upon when I encounter him the first time to see if that works bettter.
Thanks for this, love it :) Now he looks almost too young for the job, but too scarred/beat up for his age while also looking like a soldier, so perfect! Looks as he's described to my mind instead of the hipster game dev look he had originally.
I like what you did here and the work you put into it. I'm gonna use this preset for someone else in my game.
But, I disagree with your reasoning for changing Maxson. His time in the wasteland has "aged" him, and the gruff look was for a reason.
Look up Tier 1 operators/delta force operators, or any special SF units that spend extensive time in operations in the middle east(just using current wars for simplicity) alot of them look like the started No Shave November 2 months early, Lol.
This is that I'm talking about. I chose that picture cause I figured more would recognize here, being gamers. Bug Google will show others.
As for the BoS being your favorite faction, you must mean the original BoS(the outcasts in fo3) cause that's who these guys are. The Lyons Pride guys(my favorite) were really a Rouge faction with crazy ideals according to the rest of the BoS.
Yeah, I can see what your saying. I have a lot of military friends who look older than they are. I flop around between liking the original bearded God that is Maxson and using this younger preset. Personally I just find it odd when Danse mentions "Maxson's Age" when I would've never believed he was 20 had I not seen him as a child in Fallout 3.
I was thinking about adding the preset to this as an optional file for looksmenu because I thought people might just like the way it looks. I prefer to use vanilla assets because it makes it more accessible to everyone (people with mods can tweak what they like). Glad that you found a use for the face though! I too used it as my player character in a few playthroughs (minus the scars)
Just enjoy making faces myself, currently working on making a settlement with unique npcs purely because I enjoy making faces and backstories. Settlement building in the toolkit is a bit tedious however and grows tiresome quickly.
You're correct about me preferring the original BoS to this Lyons' BoS (Though they will always have a special place in my heart). They're just the only real faction I can support in this game (Going into detail on that would be a little lengthy).
Regardless, your point is fair and I thank you for it, it'll help as I continue with these facelifts and my unique settlers thing.

Yup, good job, Eternalguard. Works.

I was really disappointed by how much content regarding the BoS they cut(kinda like the Combat Zone and Cait).
