📋 About This Mod
My goal in creating my Realism Tweaks was to make Fallout 3 a more immersive RPG and to make the game much more challenging. Do NOT install this mod unless you want the Wasteland to be a much harsher place where you will have to struggle
Arwen_Realism_Tweaks is a gameplay overhaul for Fallout 3 that makes the Wasteland significantly more challenging and immersive. It's for players who want a harsher, more survival-focused experience, but it's not for casual play.
