lazloarcadia Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just a quick question: Is it viable to run BLD & FLO together or does BLD already do enough with the loot tables to make FLO obsolete (or incompatible)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panurgy Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I haven't used Fallout Loot Overhaul, so I can only give a partial answer. I've used BLD Leveled Lists alone and in conjunction with Worthwhile Cap Stashes and Safe Trunk Contents Reworked. BLD LL is fairly harsh on it's own, and my only complaint is that it didn't seem to give as much variety as I'd like. It definitely improves the game in that it encourages you to think about taking Economics perks and scavenging perks. Loot trickles in, but it's slow and scarce. You find a lot of empty containers. I like the variety from adding the other mods I mentioned, but it definitely takes some of the pressure off and makes the experience easier (though still more hardcore than vanilla). BLD LL on it's own is enough to make the first 20 or so levels noticeably harder for keeping ammo supplied and getting decent gear. For me, at least at early levels, harsher than BLD LL would be too much. By the time you're level 40 or 50 you're in good shape but probably not rich. In terms of compatibility, I'll give the usual "check them out in FO4Edit" (though that won't show scripted changes, if there are any). You might be able to merge the leveled lists in Wrye Bash if they conflict. I'd be surprised if they don't conflict at all. Oh, BTW, there are a few LL config options via the BLD holotape in-game, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazloarcadia Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Thank you for taking the time to respond. I didn't realize that BLD had such a dramatic effect on the loot leveled list. I've been looking at some of the big overhaul mods like Immersive Gameplay and Horizon and decided instead to go for more modular mods like BLD and thus better tweak the game towards my vision vs someone else's vision.

panurgy Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It has a significant effect, but it's probably not be as extreme as the Loot Overhaul. I'm just afraid to say it's hardcore when you might want something even more so. ;) I agree with you about "creating your own" overhaul. Often the big ones have really nice features, but there are always a few design choices that I don't like. So I just roll my own with a combination of mods to try to build exactly what I want.
