charwo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I am asking for opinions on realism mods. On everything. Mostly this involves a realistic combat system: I want my fights to be brutal, or at least give me something that reigns in the sociopathic homicidal mania of What can I kill and loot today? Something to give my character pause. And then, something to curb the looting. because of console commands and mods, my character is about to confront Benny (having been through two of the expansions) and has 150 of those gold bars, which she has exchanged for the value of her war loot.I know there are a lot 'realism' mods, so I'm asking for input on the most realistic of the realistic. The Flora and Fauna: I'm very happy with Flora Overhaul, but I'm wondering if there's more. And as for kinds of animals, I'd love for more natural Mohave lifeforms to be in the zone. Hostile or not is an open questions, but anything that adds to fauna in New Vegas without looking like it crawled out of a B flick would be awesome. And in all of this, I am asking for stark cold, absolute, no holds barred, not tweaked for fun, not tweaked for darker and edgier, but life as it would be.What's the good stuff?

charwo Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Come'on, don't hold out on me. What's the hardest of the real? I want my Courier to feel the sand in her boots. So what the good stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaranth Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Will, even the description of Arwen's Tweaks was too hard for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luthienanarion Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Arwen's makes the game VERY HARD to start a new character with. That's about as far as I got with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charwo Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 I looked at Arwen's, I have philosophical differences. As far as combat an enemies go, I'm actually thinking smarter, more robust AI. The kind of thing where they use real tactics, dive for cover, give a hell of a fight. More about amking the opposition awesome, rather than burdening my Courier.

luthienanarion Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm in the process of porting over Combat Enhanced as a side-project when I get tired of staring at scripts. I need to go over and expand the AI behaviors to more combat styles, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishaxhi Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Arwens is pretty sweet. I like the whole strain mechanic, being a runner myself. Running in the desert wearing leather armour and carrying 200lbs of gear? Yeah, you're gonna get a little tired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickerhk Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Gameplay is more important to me than realism, and Arwen's does a good job in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running in the desert wearing leather armour and carrying 200lbs of gear? Yeah, you're gonna get a little tired. Ah, but the fridge logic of that is that the Courier's been doing just that for YEARS. And, Darwin in action makes sure the people not inclined to doing things like that die off. Most of humanity's limitations are because they've gone soft.

Soldiers are made to run further whilst carrying more weight. Biggest factor here is the Mojave itself. DC... yeah, it'd be fine. But not the desert.
