Name: Vats over there? - Increased VATS Distance
Version: 1.1
Date: 2015-11-22
Author: drdanzel

DESCRIPTION
============
This mod drastically increases the range you can target NPCs in V.A.T.S from. Values such as hit chance or damage are untouched.
Useful for scoping out enemies or when you are just too lazy to aim! If it's spawned and in your line of sight, you can V.A.T.S it!
The NMM installer now includes optional choices to increase hit chance from larger distances, alternatives are:
BASE MOD
Only increases V.A.T.S distance, hit chance stays vanilla.
BASE MOD + INCREASED HIT CHANCE
Increases V.A.T.S distance and slightly increases your hit chances from longer distances. About 10-30% hit chance from max distance, depending on your stats and perks. Very low effect on hit chance in close quarters.
BASE MOD + HIGH INCREASE HIT CHANCE
Increases V.A.T.S distance and increases your hit chance from longer distances. About 30-60% hit chance from max distance, depending on your stats and perks. Moderate effect on hit chance in close quarters.
BASE MOD + MAXED INCREASE HIT CHANCE (CHEAT MODE)
Increases V.A.T.S distance and maxes your hit chance from any distance. 95% on all body parts at all times.
