Immersive Relic malfunctions
What this mod does: Please read the entire text.
Once you complete the main quest Playing for Time, Relic malfunctions will start happening randomly based on your in-game days.
A malfunction consists of a sequence of visual effects and messages. When the warning appears, you cannot run or sprint, and a brief white electrical distortion along with a drunken visual effect triggers. Then a screen flash occurs, a red warning appears, and the Relic malfunction officially begins. During this time, your max health is temporarily reduced, and a Johnny Silverhand hologram appears on your arm. When the malfunction ends, all debuffs and visual effects are removed, and your health is restored.
