======================================================================== For the mod to have an effect, the difficulty in-game should be changed to very hard difficult ========================================================================
This mod changes the amount of damage you recieve on very hard, making the game more challenging. You will also not recieve 50% extra experience anymore on very hard ( just like in NV ).
Vanilla Fallout 3 very hard difficulty - Player dealt damage = 0.5x - Player recieved damage = 2.0x - Experience gained modifier = 1.5x
Ramped up Fallout 3 very hard difficulty - Player dealt damage = 0.5x - Player recieved damage = 4.0x - Experience gained modifier = 1.0x
================== How it affects gameplay ==================
After playing through the game with this setting, this is what I noticed;
Fights are more difficult, obviously - for instance, the two guards with guns in the Vault 101 Atrium during Escape! were actually somewhat dangerous ( especially when you give the gun to Amata ).
I used way more chems due to a result of taking more damage - Med-x, obviously - Psycho, dealing with enemies faster when there are many is a must, or you'll get destroyed - Rad-x, I ran out of stimpaks more often and was more frugal with them. So I used Rad-x a lot to drink from water sources without getting much radiation - Radaway, even with Rad-x I got decent chunks of radiation by drinking a lot - Stimpaks, who would've thunk it
=============== Recommended mod ===============
Chem weight + Healing over time http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/12959/?
Who cares about making mistakes when you can pause the game and heal yourself to full health in an instant? I love this mod, it's very simple and makes stimpaks heal over time.
