Anyone played with the Robot Race mod?

and I just wondered if anyone has played with it and how it is. Easier, harder, the same only different. I haven't played it yet but am very tempted. It has two traits that I would actually take (I don't take any traits normally) the precision and the targeting seem really cool with the downsides being very minimal. Although that also brings up one of my concerns and that is healing...it seems like healing as a robot is considerably more difficult.

 

I am loving FNV but find there is just so much to see and do and so many mods that I haven't really gone too much past Goodsprings and Primm.

 

So again, I think my main concern is if the robot race mod makes things more difficult, particularly healing....because if not then I might just go ahead and play it just for fun.

 

Thanks ahead of time for any comments, and for putting up with a newbie.

I have played with it, and if you make some small edits or a new small plugin that removes the different food healths and bonuses

it's fairly balanced. It's definitely different for sure, other perks bonuses and quite cool. But I would recommend to make a normal person

and then add the robot perk to your character. There is issues with the robot body that makes it annoying, but I can live with it. (the head is worn as a helmet,

there can be instances when your headless looks quite weird.) If you wear a power helmet and remove it you have no head :P

 

Otherwise in hardcore mode you have recipes that allow you to make food and energy that restores thirst and sleep.

I would say it's balanced, there is a plugin that removes chem benefits so you can't use jet, psycho medex or mentats.

As for healing I have so far been drowning in health packs and making robotic doctorbags is quite easy as well.

But then I changed around in project nevada so I get close to 0 food, chems and a lot more junk

(considering I need it for repairkits, armorkits, food, stimpacks, doctobags)

 

Of course you can choose to not use the plugin that removes the benefits of chems. Your choice, give it a go for sure. :)

 

Hope this helped you. :)
