Oh man; this is excellent! I get tired of the raiders = punk rock aesthetic. Nice to see some tribal barbarian variety. If the remaining dismemberment gore decals had been finished this would be a perfect mod; still endorsed though ;)
I've been looking for a mod that makes the various raider "Gangs" standout more. It's one department I think Bethesda failed at. The game indirectly (Mostly via Notes and Holotapes) says that there are different "Gangs" of raiders, they aren't all just chem-addled drifters doing whatever, and these Raider "Gangs" even have beefs with one another (Stockpile Ration Gang and the Beantown Gang) It stands to reason they would all look, and maybe even act, different.
Bareminimum they would have different color schemes that way they can easily tell who is one of them and who isn't. Game doesn't even give them different names. The Corvega Raiders aren't called that, they're just "Raiders" even though there is clearly more to them then that.
Them are the easiest ones to flesh-out. They're in an old Car Factory, have all that Metal lying around, Literally all you would have to do is give them all Metal Armor only. Would be a quick and easy thing on their (Bethesda) part.
In the case of Corvega Raiders, it's also strange they don't really bother with locking down Lexington. You'd expect them to be sweeping the city to deal with the ghouls but for the most part they kind of ignore them.
I agree 100% man. In fact that’s exactly what I was thinking when I started making this mod. I wanted to cover every gang and make a full raider overhaul but I decided that it would be better not to commit to that. Didn't want to leave something incomplete if life got in the way. I even had a lil map drawn out with their locations and everything to help me figure out how they should be balanced level-wise lol.
I'll do more raider gangs eventually but I decided when I made this mod that I'd only do more if I could come up with a decent idea regarding their aesthetics. Like, I don't want to do an outfit pack just to do it. If that makes sense.
