Realistic overhaul?

[Acoustic101]

Any mods out there that add a little more realism to the game? Let me elaborate.

 

First off, I am not talking about getting shot once and dying realism, as this would take most of the fun out of the game. What I am talking about is something a little different. The best part of the game, to me, was when I teamed up with the powder gang and took over the starting town. Why was this the best part? It seemed a little realistic. It was around 8v10, and it ended up turning into a pretty good firefight. I liked it. There were no missle launchers, tesla cannons, plasma rifles, ect. I think only the old man had a laser pistol. The rest of us had small arms and melee weapons. As the game progresses, things start becoming a little dumb. I end up having to fight 30 people by myself in many occasions and so how winning?

 

To be honest, I am not really sure what I am asking for here. Maybe someone can figure out what I am looking for and point me to a mod. I would deeply appreciate it,lol.

so you want more of a challenge and an army behind you?????

Well what I want which is related to this is to make it nigh impossible to take on entire factions by yourself without sneaking around. Which is what the final battle is, an entire faction vs. an entire faction. But the faction you side on barely helps you when you attack the actual base camp. I mean it would've been awesome to have a 10 v 10 battle with you leading the faction you helped and them leading their faction.

 

To off set this, just tune up the universal damage like in Fallout Wanderer's Addition. That reminds me...they best have a port of that in New Vegas.

Ahh, the good old "Oblivion-we're-behind-you-WAY-behind-you" approach to factions and conflicts. Gotta love it.

 

As for realism, I am soon releasing updated versions of all of my mods. Hardcore needs will be affected by combat, low health, daytime heat, and rates increases in general. NPC's will often use Armor Piercing capability and everyone's weapon skill will have a heftier effect on their damage done. Loot is sharply decreased (especially money, caps, ammo and medicine.) All in all this should help with the difficulty portion of your requirements. Beating 5 Fiends, all with armor piercing plasma guns, without sneaking, is gonna be pretty tough.

 

Believe me, it is. I died testing my own mod 5 times. Knowing what was coming in the testing room, I died. using VATS, I died. As for the factions and support...why Obsidian didn't give you NCR backup or something, I cannot say. kind of sad.
