Redesign of the hardcore mode to give more consequences to the choices made during character development. Aims for complete integration with the vanilla game.
- Permissions and credits
WARNING ! This mod does not really work all that well at the moment. I was hoping to have a solution a while ago, but got stuck. Remember, thsi is an ALPHA version.
============================================
UPDATED 19 november 2010 (see CHANGELOG for details)
- Added Demon Dance drug : item, recipe, texture
- Added Trauma Pack custom texture
- Tweaked survival rates
- and more...
============================================
Current version ALPHA 1.2 - incomplete, partial testing.
Expect bugs. Save before use. Do not inhale.
This mod is part of the New Vegas Redux pack
============================================
DESCRIPTION
============================================
This mod aims to redesign the hardcore mode with one concept in mind :
"hardcore doesn't mean harder, it means more complex."
It is intended to perfectly integrate with the vanilla game - no clunky "configuration object" (or "action object") in inventory, no behaviour inconsistent with the base game mechanic, no lore-unfriendly or out of place designs.
NOTE : while in Alpha, it is completely playable as such.
Effects implemented so far are :
- new rates of dehydration / starvation / exhaustion. All needs are going to be a problem from time to time, but not a constant worry. Still needs some balancing work.
- Doctor's Bags (renamed Trauma Packs) need a minimum of 25 Medicine to be used, and a much higher skill to be truly efficient. Cannot be used during combat
- a new drug, Demon Dance, can be crafted with a high enough Survival. A Med-X alternative with harsher side-effects, but less addiction.
- Med-X doesn't provide Damage Resistance anymore, but allows you to ignore the effects of crippled limbs for a time.
Planned for v1.0 :
- a new Survival recipe, producing a drug with effects similar to Med-X (but of lower quality)
- respace the dehydration / etc... rates so the initial effects appear sooner. It should be hard to keep perfectly fed, hydrated and rested, but nearing death shouldn't happen unless you send three days trekking the desert without supplies
- a craftable, proper doctor's bag that increases your Medicine as long as you carry it
- a redesigned Trauma Kit recipe
- increased dehydration during the day, and depending on the weather. Plan your travels !
- and much more...
CHANGELOG
============================================
UPDATED 19 november 2010 :
- Added Demon Dance drug : item, recipe, texture
- Changed Trauma Pack recipe
- Added Trauma Pack custom texture
- Changed "magic" survival multiplier to 0.3
- Trauma Packs cannot be used during combat
- Tweaked H2O/FOD/SLP rates again
UPDATED 18 november 2010 :
- removed preorder pack from master list. My bad.
