Buff Your Institute in Fallout 4

[@ShiningLight]

"do you think the Enclave knows about this back at the oil rig?" Yes they do know coz I told them, I don't hide anything from my wife... err... I mean from Colonel Whitehill.

[@lastmangameplan]

Wow. Even S.I.D. is less of a security risk than you.

[@ShiningLight]

@@lastmangameplan Well, there's Enclave troops all over the institute I'm sure they would notice if someone said "No you Enclave people can't patrol that area, that area also and that other area, coz we aren't hiding absolutely anything right there". The Instute is just doing exactly what the Enclave want imo.

[@thein8ererator518]

Yes I was so wanting to do an institute playthrough, but not just be the comic book villain that the institute is in vanilla

[@lastmangameplan]

Exactly

[@goldensilver1937]

You just need to add courser strigitae and the scientist uniform for the absolute perfection

[@lastmangameplan]

Those are good! It was an aesthetics choice for me. I got worried that I would entirely overwrite the Institute's retro-futuristic vibe into a modern warfare vibe if I wasn't careful, but I'll link those mods in the description.

[@TheIronSnowMan8D]

These videos are amazing. Great mod choices.

[@lastmangameplan]

Glad you like them!

[@damienjackslicer7575]

If do read these, magazines not clips I do believe they are called that in-game as well.

[@JamesLoach-d1u]

Awesome , i was thinking about playing more towards my Institute allies , and these mods looks perfect for what i have in mind , great vid

[@lastmangameplan]

Glad you are feeling inspired!

[@dwarf_nz483]

I have only just stumbled upon your channel as a result of this video. I have to say that I really like your conversational style of video presentation. It works really well from an immersion PoV to make it feel like you're actually the head of the Institute proudly showing off the advanced technology that makes that faction superior to all other factions within Fo4. I really like it! New subscriber.

[@lastmangameplan]

That is so great to hear! Thank you and welcome aboard.

[@U.S.CyberSoldier50]

Vertibirds ! lol Who needs them when YOU HAVE A MASS RELAY TELEPORTER. !!!!! 🙂

[@lastmangameplan]

Exactly.

[@SamuraiTex84]

Even in this day and age, it's so good to see more people working to improve the factions. Looking forward to if/ when you get to the Railroad. I love the RR cuz no one else will.

[@lastmangameplan]

I've got ideas for RR! Do you have any suggestions?

[@SamuraiTex84]

@@lastmangameplan Most of the things I tend to use I've seen from other RR improvement videos like Oxhorn, Juicehead, etc. -Look at me Railroad Edition by xxsaisei and its Handmaiden dependency -Railroad Redone by Xfreakish along with the Improved version of the mod by 103Sakamoto -Improved Railroad by Warsaw2135 is also a fine edition to add more agents around the world -Subversion by ashjay101 is a must have if you want better endings to the game and want the RR to do...something...anything. However, other mods that I have come across helps more with the player. Mostly new outfits and recolors of vanilla clothing to better fit a RR look. Normally look for darker/ earthly colors. -Dark Hooded Rags by aarlandsun makes the vanilla outfit look MUCH better for this reason. -Agent Outfit by Ellise for a sleek look -Railroad Uniform by sepharis suits the faction very nicely, also needed by the Look at Me mod. -Wasteland Operator by taereus recolors the heavy jacket and the assault mask to make a really gnarly looking bit of gear for heavies -Strac Hats by GrafPanzer offers faction based hats -Faction Field Outfits by cat_woman1989 For settlements -Railroad Signs Settlement Edition/ Glowing RR Signs by Robotized -RR Travel Agent by Zorkaz for a fast travel alternative -Subway Runner by ghostfc3s (or the Revised version by Qrsr) if you wanna RP as a sneaky guy using the underground Honestly I could go on. About two years ago, I wanted to try and make a RR overhaul mod so I went and made a trek across the nexus looking for perms on mods that would fit the RR in one way or another. I have a whole document worth of mods that could work for the RR in one way or another.

[@SamuraiTex84]

Most of the mods I tend to use I've seen in other RR overhaul videos. Juicehead, Oxhorn, Augmental, etc all have fairly decent mods to check out. -Look at Me mod RR edition by xxsaisei and its dependencies for a better looking core faction -Railroad Redone by Xfreakish and the further improved version by 103Sakamoto for a better looking HQ overall -Improved Railroad by Warsaw2135 for additional RR classes and spawns in the Commonwealth and FH For the player themselves, i tend to go for Darker/ Earthy colors or recolors of vanilla clothing. Afterall the RR isn't a paramilitary group or even a governmental body. -Dark Hooded Rags by aarlandsun has numerous colors for the distinvtive stealthy operative who wants to have a light and fast look among the civilians -Wasteland Operative by taereus is honestly a genious combination of recoloring both the heavy jacket and assault mask for a very striking visage for the heavy weapons guy -Agent Outfit by Ellise makes for a more clean and sleek aperative look -Railroad Uniform by sepharis is a prereq for LOOK AT ME, but by itself, its also a classy WWI styled overcoat for gruff agents in battle -Handmaiden by Niero just fits the aesthetic to a fine degree. Classic early to mid 20th century spy incarnate. For settlements -The two Railroad SIgns mods from Robotized allow you to place the RR chalk signs within your settlements. Simple as. -Railroad Travel Agent by Zorkaz for alternative fast travel in your games. For the world in general -Subway Runner (more specifically the Revised one by QRSR) for the tunnel rat RP'er in all of us. -Subversion by ToroMontana for a generally better RR experience end game. Honestly I could go on. Two years ago I attempted to make my own RR overhaul, and scoured the nexus for anything that could fit the RR and or make it just a better faction entirely. I ended up finding more than 100 in my search. A lot of which I even got perms to use from the original authors themselvs. ​ @lastmangameplan

[@lastmangameplan]

This is a trove of good suggestions. Thank you so much.

[@lastmangameplan]

Did you see how many of these I ended up using in the vid? So many. Thank you again.

[@ian7064]

Video idea, 5 small details you may have missed in America Rising 2. There a ton of cool small attentions to detail scattered throughout the locations that makes the whole mod feel even more intricate

[@lastmangameplan]

Thanks for the idea. I can definitely find some of that to cover.

[@dalesanteford7432]

This is like more details than what they have normally in the game does this look like a cool Institute mod is there something that went with America Rising 2 or something separate

[@lastmangameplan]

Well Dale, if I understand your question, AR2 let's you take over the institute and I liked the head canon of that, but most of these mods are Institute specific and not really about an AR2 connection.

[@dalesanteford7432]

@@lastmangameplan I do remember a lot of it so yeah I was just seeing that extra stuff for the Institute I can take full advantage of those robotic enhancements but I didn't know where to go for that I would have to look that up and see how that works

[@dalesanteford7432]

@@lastmangameplan I can see why I thought it was like a little different from the vanilla game with the Institute to the mod

[@the_real_inquisitor]

This isn't the Institute anymore, that's Umbrella now.

[@lastmangameplan]

You know, I didn't see it until you said it...

[@Alex_FRD]

The only way to buff the Institute is to get rid all those gluehuffers who don't even know why they're making androids and have them work on food production and weapons, instead.

[@lastmangameplan]

The androids are the key. And those reports of bio-gel fumes being sniffed by Robotics Dept. employees were never confirmed.

[@alexd4310]

I still wish there was an option where you pull strings as Director if you accepted Father's propsal oin behalf of ENclave How it works out is that you tell ward/Whitehill you the new director. When you chooseto help armstrong you literally stab him in back

[@lastmangameplan]

That would eliminate having to see that tool Armstrong every time you entered the Institute so I'm into it.

[@alexd4310]

@@lastmangameplan Not sure if I told you this on another video but you can kill in in the board room and Institute won’t become hostile. Hell even your Ward/Whitehill won’t even say anything

[@TheWindlessOperator]

Love it!!!

[@chaseharris9446]

It’s very sad that PlayStation can’t get mods like this 😔

[@lastmangameplan]

It really is. There are a few mods that buff the Institute laser weapons and there is a mod called Institute Improved on PS that buffs the vanilla faction a little if you are looking for one that helps the faction out overall.

[@johnlinton6118]

This is very cool!

[@lastmangameplan]

I am glad you like it.

[@californiadovah7786]

I am interested in seeing more gameplay of this

[@lastmangameplan]

Glad to hear it!

[@madmacvengeance6131]

Damn thats great Institute upgraded

[@lastmangameplan]

Thank you!

[@FalloutBoy_Op]

Wants again you are awesome thanks for this. But I would like to know can all of that still be used if I do decide to absorb the institute for the enclave. Thx.

[@lastmangameplan]

Yes you can. The playthrough in the video is an enclave playthrough where I absorbed the Institute.

[@FalloutBoy_Op]

@@lastmangameplan awesome thanks for the update.. I will definitely be checking these mods out. what's again thank you.

[@Player1LoneWolf]

I’ve been putting off America Rising 2 because I’ve been building up the Minutemen army. Can these two factions work together in the end game?

[@lastmangameplan]

Yes sir. Check out my Enclave Comes to Nuka World video. I have tips for how to make it happen for you in there.

[@alexd4310]

Im using console command to duplciate that shoulder launcher and give it to my settlers

[@lastmangameplan]

Now I feel sorry for the raiders.

[@alexd4310]

@@lastmangameplan gonna try it out with enclaves. Wish I discovered console command sooner it would make dressing settler as enclave personnel a lot easier

[@duncanharrell5009]

Just wish all of these were available on Xbox. Can only find Phase 4 and ITO. No Assassin Sword, no improved synth relay grenades, and no synth power armor. At least IMO I can find the two essential mods.

[@alexd4310]

Can you send the synths from the factory to settlement s?

[@lastmangameplan]

You can! You can build them at settlements too. I just liked the idea of secret factory.

[@Fomiru]

My initial biggest issue is the flatscreens used for institute tech here, it's not lore accurate at all. It's also just not very fallout.

[@lastmangameplan]

I suppose that is true, but I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth.

[@tommothedog]

Thats the institute for you. I personally love the faction though.

[@alexd4310]

Whats the range for Plasma Incinerator

[@lastmangameplan]

I don't remember, but it is not very long. Maybe 50.

[@henrypowers69420]

How do you get the aborbed institute ending?

[@lastmangameplan]

When Dr. Armstrong approaches the Enclave with his offer at the N.Boston P.D., you'll have to pass speech checks to convince Ward/Whitehill to accept it.

[@alexd4310]

If you want this ending siding the Whitehall is recommended That or max out charisma

[@jonathaslopes8038]

Please show the Fallout London standalone releaser mod.

[@lastmangameplan]

It will probably get covered here before Fallout London drops, but there is so much I want to cover before then.😅

[@tyleredmondson645]

Has anyone ever found/made a mod that adds the Red Glare from NV?

[@lastmangameplan]

If they have, I haven't seen it and a quick search of Nexus mods didn't bring anything up.

[@herbo3437]

No one has made one there is no red glare mod not even a port
