Mod made by Ethical Lune
Porter’s Notes: On Nexus this mod has script and other stuff that count as external assets in it this obviosly is a version without all that.
So there could be issues, tho it was tested by requester and seems fine.
An extensive overhaul that touches upon almost every aspect of the game which aims to make the game more fun, challenging in a good way and varied while rewarding skill and tactics.
Unbogus Fallout Overhaul is an extensive gameplay overhaul that touches upon almost every aspect of the game, changing how you play, altering the vast majority of the game and adding many new features.
The world will feel more static and less like it revolves around you, rewarding skill and tactics regardless if you’re level 5 or level 50, providing a fun challenge no matter how far into the game you get.
Overhauled combat with fierce aggressive enemies that will challenge you from beginning to end.
• Painstakingly balanced NPC stats that makes the game never feel too easy or too hard at appropriate levels.
• Health works differently, both for you and everything around you.
You start with 100HP and every additional point of Endurance grants 20 HP, levels will do nothing for health.
• Healing works differently, food will heal you slowly over time and stimpaks heal a fixed amount of health and limb damage while the new med-tek bandages are much more effective at healing limb damage.
• Weapons all follow more generic guidelines, balanced primarily around caliber types and nearly universal damage modifications which makes almost every gun viable at any point with the right upgrades.
• New chems, like Second Wind, Antivenom, Cat Eye, Truffle Mentats or Relaxing Herb Cigar, and many vanilla chems have been rebalanced as well.
There is also a cure for the infamous molerat disease, craftable once you contract it.
• New perks and rebalanced vanilla perks. New ones like Critical Thinker, Shotgun Surgeon, Rad Child or Luck o’ the Irish.
Extra notable examples are perks like;
Finesse which can change how you play and what equipment you go after by richly rewarding you for having very low armor values.
Intimidation which works every time when you catch your target by surprise up close, making it a perfect perk for stealthy characters.
Pain Train which works outside of power armor, allowing you to play ultra-aggressive.
Robotics Expert which will additionally allow you to hack turrets the same way you can hack robots.
• Optional custom basic sorting system with alterations to item name structures which will always show you the name of the item first and any modifications after, sorts everything in the game other than Misc and Junk items.
(Sorting those items opens a very big can of worms for mods that need a compatibility patch)
• Player killmove immunity, no more getting locked into a death cutscene even though you were at full health.
• New equipment like many new grenades, turret-spawning relays, and weapon attachments like Napalmer, Miss Launcher, Thermobaric Warhead Launcher or Plasma Bomber.
• Restored cut content, like the Space Blaster, revolver fanning, throwing weapons like Throwing Blades or Throwing Hatchets and many types of gloves that can be worn with almost any outfit and come with custom upgrades.
• Random critical hits based on Luck and a couple of perks.
• Real projectiles where bullets physically fly through the air with ballistics loosely based on real statistics, laser weapons fire bolts similar to laser guns from your favorite cheesy sci-fi movies.
• Difficult stealth, unless you invest into stealthy perks you will be detected very easily and enemies won’t give up their search so fast. Stealth Boys will help you greatly, especially outdoors during daytime.
There are a few new items to help you become a better sneaky snake, like throwable distraction items, stealth boys that last 2 minutes or throwing weapons that benefit from melee sneak attack multipliers.
• Optional live dismemberment on humans and supermutants, only works with high caliber weaponry and explosives which may cause enemies to flee in terror or perform a last ditch effort on the ground. (Enabled through the miscellaneous file Punisher)
• Lunchboxes explode into a small pile of random loot with a massive list of potential items or even a bunch of caps, no $1.99 key required!
• New legendary effects, like Shocking, Bloodthirsty or Denting. Also rebalances almost all vanilla legendary effects to either be less overpowered or a lot more useful.
• Fast and deadly melee combat both for humanoids and creatures.
• Uncapped encounter zones.
• More scarce loot in general, for example you may not always find enough ammo to endlessly use your favorite gun, vary your weapon usage or get trading for supplies.
• More difficult bartering, don’t expect to be able to buy everything you see!
• More difficult lockpicking, requires gentle fiddling to find the sweetspot but your picks will break much more slowly.
(Misc file to revert lockpicking to vanilla exists if you don’t like this)
• New workshop turrets, like Minigun Turret, Electro-Bubble Turret, Napalm Turret or Alien Animatronic Turret.
• Tweaked armor with altered effectiveness, modifications and more reasonable usage slots, meaning you can for example equip a gas mask with an army helmet.
• Improved locational damage, shooting heads and mechanical weak spots inflict more damage than before while limbs and heavily armored spots inflict less damage.
• Areas reset plenty slower than vanilla, which means places you’ve already cleared out won’t respawn with new enemies and loot quite as fast, but it does not affect random spawns in the world at all.
• Minutemen can be called in with flares from much further away and they will show up to fight in armor instead of clothing.
• Some light sources have been tweaked to provide more reasonable light, usually resulting in wider and softer light, there’s a gif in the images section.
• Carry weight starts higher and improves more with Strength, catered for all your garbage-carrying needs.
• Improvements to the workshop, you can create trading routes by default, powerlines can reach much further, radial power sources are more powerful, and more.
• Some enemy types are different from each other, for example bug types tend to be much more squishy but very fast and agile, ghouls deal very little damage but can be hard to take out in big groups while dealing radiation and poison damage, synths are fast and super-aggressive but have weak limbs, and robots tend to be both powerful and tanky but fairly slow.
• Many more smaller tweaks here and there that I couldn’t clutter up this list with, play and find out!
