Version 3.0
- - New Companion Perk: Little Ripper begins a Raging Red Rampage (+50% Damage, +3 DT) while in combat whenever his health drops below 35%. This becomes available when Ripper reaches level 15.
- Revised Companion Perk: Little Ripper can issue a Terrifying Roar during combat that potentially frightens an enemy into running away. Whether fleeing will occur or not depends on the Target's Health and Confidence, plus Little Ripper's current Level. This becomes available when Ripper reaches level 5. Does not affect Robots, Ghouls, or Abominations.
- New Player Perk: Predator Intimidation ("Terrifying Presence", +15 Barter, +15 Speech) while Ripper is nearby and an active companion. This becomes available once Ripper recovers from his ordeal (instead of the Predator Intincts perk).
- Revised Player Perk: The Predator Instincts perk (+3 Perception, see Target Health and Damage Threshold) now becomes available after completing the Brain Power quest (previously informal, but now logged and tracked).
- Follower Movement Styles: "Run whenever possible; don't dawdle" and "Walking is okay when nearby, no need to run". Available via dialog within the "About how we move around" topic.
- Ripper's Recaller replaced by Ripper's Widget: a "Handy-Dandy Widget Thingummy" with multiple functions.
o Recall - resets Ripper's AI and repositions him at (teleports him to) your current location. For use if his scripting becomes confused.
o Stay Small - resizes Ripper based on his current level and limits growth to roughly shoulder height.
o Grow Big - resizes Ripper based on his current level and allows growth to be intimidatingly large. [default]
o Less Powerful - sets base values for Ripper's Damage, Health, and Protective Armoring. Good choice for general play. [default]
o More Powerful - sets enhanced values for Ripper's Damage, Health, and Protective Armoring. This setting will be over-powered for regular games, but a good choice for challenging mods such as AWOP and MoMod.
o Carry Stuff - permits Ripper to carrying things via dialog and the companion wheel; available after Ripper recovers from his ordeal.
o Don't Carry Stuff - disallows Ripper carrying things; all items are transferred to the player character. [default]
o Enraged Effects - special visual effects will be shown for Ripper when he becomes enraged. [default]
o No Enraged Effects - visual effects will not be shown for Enraged.
- Ripper's recovery period reduced from 7 days to 5 days.
- The new Perks will be automatically awarded in existing saved games as appropriate.
- The "Alternate" version of this mod has been discontinued since the Stay Small setting via Ripper's Widget accomplishes the same thing.
- - New Companion Perk: Little Ripper begins a Raging Red Rampage (+50% Damage, +3 DT) while in combat whenever his health drops below 35%. This becomes available when Ripper reaches level 15.
