LLRO - Live Leak Ragdoll Overhaul - Euphoria Ragdoll Mod Showcase Series
[i]Update - I will be making an updated series that will feature this as well as the head shot states - The video features 1.05 , which was updated recently (after I recorded this unfortunately) - I will be working on a more extensive and substantive showcase for this Euphoria mod shortly[/i]
LLRO is described by its author as “a ragdoll mod to be as physically realistic as possible” – which is exactly how this mod plays out. There are so many different ways peds react to whatever you throw at them that I gave up trying to keep track of it all. NPCs stumble every which way while they attempt to grab things as they fall, fighting to keep standing and persevere through it all – that is unless it’s just too much for them to handle. A head shot can mean a quick trip to the ground or a long journey to the same place – but the important thing is such an injury always feels like its playing out according to the brutal laws of physics, never looking glitchy or forced. If you had to describe it, Physically Realistic as Possible is a perfect way of putting it.. but I would take it a step further and add the phrase “and exciting” – which this is. According to the mod’s author, FireHart100, this is their first proper mod – which is an understatement if I’ve ever heard one. This is more like a work of art. After stringing together nine minutes of ped reactions I still feel the video doesn’t even begin to explore the unique experience this mod has to offer. Reactions vary depending on the projectile impact, velocity, and their physical surroundings – which is true of I believe all of the Euphoria Ragdoll mods, but done so well with Live Leak I just have to emphasize it. There is no wonder LLRO is quickly becoming the most well-known and respected Euphoria Ragdoll mods around. That’s saying a lot considering how well WERO, AEM, CERR, and BDERO are crafted- It’s a daunting task to set out and join that list, however LLRO does just that, and quickly lands a spot at or near the top in bold letters. It’s been some time since I picked up GTA5 but after hearing that the author has a version of this for that I just might have to give it one last play before we open the door to the next chapter in the GTA series. Going for realism can be tricky as reality isn’t always as fun as watching the ridiculously awesome Death Wish 3 play out. That being said, I spent less time compiling reactions for this video than the others… No matter what I threw at these NPCs the reactions were reliably entertaining and yes… realistic.
The purpose of this series to provide some examples of RDR2 characters experiencing.. gun shots .. arrows too... in order to give you a sense of what each Euphoria Mod does. Each video in this series has been carefully put together with consideration for what the Euphoria Mod does (and how it differs from Vanilla or other Euphoria mods). The multitude of strung-together clips should cover just about every possible NPC reaction.. But... There are so many possibilities when you factor in the game environment. I hope you enjoy these videos and check out Euphoria Ragdoll Mods if you haven’t had the chance to yet.
This Mod Showcase Video was done with the following Mods Enabled:
- L.L.R.O (Live Leak Ragdoll Overhaul V 1.05) by FireHart100
- Blood Lust (Specifically the Blood Bath optional install)* by WhyEm
- P.D.O (Ped Damage Overhaul with optional files in LML) ** by HJ and fitfondue
- All Shots Cause Bleedouts by - now replaced by Just F*cking Bleed Already
* The Standard Blood Lust install option is recommended by most of the authors of these mods, however it really comes down to personal preference as in my case)
** Be sure to Edit the PDO ini file, enabling Euphoria Ragdoll Mod support (make sure that the line regarding Euphoria Ragdoll compatibility is enabled i.e. has a "1" after the line. See the description in the ini file - its quite intuitive and a very quick yet important step should you want to use PDO and Euphoria Mods concurrently).
You can only use one Euphoria Mod at a time because they involve the physics file. Switching between different ragdoll mods is as easy as moving the mod’s folder in and out of the LML folder between sessions.
I am not being diplomatic when I say I like them all because I honestly feel that all five are done well – I switch between them regularly which amounts to seconds and a quick click or two. That being said, if I had to stick with only two…This would be one of them and possibly at the top of the list. It just feels so well polished I- can’t imagine anything I would change- but I’m sure the author will think of something and it will be brilliant (either as an update to this or another euphoria mod much like we have seen from AngryWolf with WERO-AEM). Who knows.. I said the same thing about The Sopranos after it wrapped its final season – maybe some things are perfect the way they are.
The Mod Showcased in this video was created by FireHart100 and is available for download at Nexus Mods. These Videos are my way of thanking the Mod Creators for their work. Be sure to support the mod creators if you can. (I unfortunately made way too many bad options trades in the last year to thank them in the more traditional sense).
