[WIP] Throwing Knife Overhaul

[zeromus88]

Since I started New Vegas I noticed it introduced throwing weapons, namely spears and knives. Spears were somewhat frequent on Legion soldiers but throwing knives...they were a REAL rarity. This concerned me, as not only are they stupidly rare, but also lack in terms of usefulness. So, I set out to try to make throwing knives a bit more useful by making them do a bit more damage, but also make them easier to get by means of a simple crafting recipe at a workbench.

 

Not content to just make a recipe or 2, I thought I'd make a few recipes to permanently add some effects to throwing knives. This is very much a WIP, and I do plan on adding quite a bit to the mod over time.

 

Only a few things are preventing me from releasing, at the VERY least, an alpha version of the mod.

 

I wanted to post a few ideas here and get some feedback before I continue work on the alpha of this.

 

Features:

- A recipe to craft throwing knives from a work bench using either (1) scrap metal, or 2 tin cans (bent or regular)

- A recipe to craft a knife that has an EMP effect (effective against robots/power armor)

- A recipe to craft an exploding knife (cuz who doesn't wanna blow people up?)

- A recipe to craft a superheated knife that is, essentially, a flamer in a knife

- Several recipes to "attach" poisons crafted at campfires to knives permanently. (Ex: Combining bleak venom and 5 knives at a campfire gives you 5 bleak knives, which deal damage as well as have the bleak venoms -15hp effect)

 

I plan on adding much more but I wanted to just get this out there for some feedback. Thanks!
