OVERVIEW
As a big fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, I always felt that bleeding and bandaging added a little extra flavor to combat. Not just difficulty, but more engagement from the player's end, so why not bring it to Fallout?


DETAILS
When taking damage, depending on how much the initial damage is, you (or NPCs) will be struck with a Minor, Severe, or Critical bleed effect. While Minor and Severe bleeds will go away on their own, if a Critical Bleed continues for too long, it will progress into a Bleeding Out state. Bleeding Out won't stop until it's healed, or the victim dies.

Bandages are used to reduce your bleed by one stage. Bleeding out will be reduced to a critical bleed, critical will reduce to a severe bleed, and so on. You can find bandages on humanoids you've killed, in containers, craft them, or buy them in bulk from vendors.

You also have Trauma Kits, which will outright remove all bleed effects. These are very rare to find, mildly hard to craft, and expensive to purchase.

NPCs suffering from bleeding will attempt to reduce their bleeding by one stage every 5 seconds. If they have bandages in their inventory, they will use them, but if they don't, they have a 30% chance at succeeding.


REQUIREMENTS
  • Dead Money
  • Honest Hearts
  • Old World Blues
  • xNVSE (6.2.5+)
  • JIP LN NVSE (56.47+)
  • UI Organizer (optional)
  • Mod Configuration Menu (optional)

COMPATIBILITY
The base mod (Bleedout.esp) is compatible with everything. I make no guarantee that patches will be compatible with everything, as quest/location mods that restrict your access to bandages may need minor tweaking (Tranquility Lane, Operation Anchorage, Mothership Zeta, etc).

If a patch doesn't exist, you can temporarily uncheck the "Enabled" option within the gameplay section of the Mod Configuration Menu.

The installer provides patches for the following mods:
  • A Tale of Two Wastelands
  • BLEED
  • Aid Addon


INSTALLATION

Install the FOMOD using Mod Organizer 2, Nexus Mod Manager, Fallout Mod Manager (0.14.14.5+), or Vortex. Manual installation is not supported.


UNINSTALLATION
  • As a safety precaution, remove all bleeding effects from your character.
  • Save your game.
  • Remove the mod from your mod manager, or delete all 'Bleedout' related files.
