Fallout 3 Redux - Health Rebalance - VERSION 0.2.1
Getting hurt just got serious.
WHAT IS FALLOUT 3 REDUX ?
Fallout 3 Redux is intended to be a collection of mods modifying and enriching Fallout 3 gameplay, in the spirit of the Fallout series. The main enhancement targets are replayability, excitement, and enjoyement. Right now, there's only the first part finished, the Health Rebalance (this one). However, it is designed to be a standalone mod, so even if I can never complete any other it should be of use to someone :)
WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO ?
This mod rebalances the whole health / healing gameplay of Fallout 3. For starters, it uses a new formula, depending on EN and ST, to calculate your hitpoints. You'll start around 50, and won't hit 200 until at least level 15. Your days of rushing muties clad in a nightgown are over.
While the lead keeps flying, you can only rely on Stimpaks. Medicine plays a lower part in the amount healed, and they won't cure your crippled limbs permanently, just long enough for you to finish the fight. And with the new penalties associated with broken limbs and busted chests, you'll sorely need that not to end up as main course of the day. Oh, and you can always drink water - it'l make you feel better, and glowing in the dark ain't so bad, now is it ?
Then, once you're back to more hospitable surroundings, you have to ways of curing yourself :
- resting. The more you're hurt, the longer it'll take to get back on your feet. Don't count on a 2-hours nap to make you fit and ready. Crippled limbs will get better, but only once all other bruises and cuts have healed.
- eating. But food takes time to act, and you won't see the effect until you get a good night's sleep. The same goes for RadAway, btw, so you may suffer a bit until your system can get rid of all those rads you accumulated poking around the nuclear wasteland.
ALSO IN THIS RELEASE :
- Cumulative Rad-X : pop 4 of them, and go swim in the Nuka Quantum stream ! Warning : side effects may include nausea, fever.
- Radiation-cleaning Sanitizer : it doesn't make food tastier, just less likely to fry you.
COMING SOON (HOPEFULLY) :
- Rebalanced limb damage : because if it takes 20 bullets in the arm to kill a raider, a few solid shots through the cranium usually does the trick.
- Medicine skill package : you've studied hard for it, now use that knowledge (and a few band-aids) to get yourself back in shape !
