WHY THIS MOD?

    Well for starters, Its quite a badly kept secret that Fallout New Vegas was based off the old Van Buren project. hell, even the Frontier snatched some concepts off the project. Fallout new vegas brought a lot of old concepts that were gonna be in the fo3 vb project including but not limited to, Joshua Grahmn being a companion, Caesars Legion, The NCR/Brotherhood war, Denver and so much more.
The frontier had some old concepts that ive seen brought into fruition as well including but not limited to, Legion Chariots, Working vehicles and giant robots.

                                    BUT WHY THO?
    I dont know why i made this, i guess it was a whim. ive recently been diggin through history and i thought a mod like this seemed cool if not fun. i never saw any equivalent on the nexus. maybe there are people out there that might like this mod. I like it. it screams ''look what I could've been" :) 

                           BUT WHAT IS VAN BUREN?
    Im glad you asked random modder. Fallout 3 Codename "Van Buren" was the original fallout 3 in development by Interplay and Black Isle Studios. Before the game was finished , however, Interplay went bankrupt and black isle fell with them. Bethesda Game Studios ended up buying the license and that's how we got the fallout 3 we love and/or Hate Today. if you wish to know more, click this link to see the wiki on Van Buren.
