📋 About This Mod

This mod makes NPCs follow the same HP rules as the player, removes bullet sponge enemies, doubles weapon damage, buffs creatures, reworks sneak, VATS, all weapons, and armor stats for more balanced combat. Gear lasts longer, perks adjust

My mod started with a simple idea: make all NPCs follow the same HP formula as the player, turning them into proper entities you can interact with rather than just lifeless game objects.

After updating their HP formula, I made changes to prevent enemies from becoming bullet sponges:

  • []All weapons and effects now do x2 damage.

    []All creatures have x2 HP and x2 attack damage to stay competitive with NPCs.

    []I reduced the HP of enemies added by the Broken Steel DLC to keep them from being bullet sponges.

    []I removed magic damage from all DLC enemies.

To make NPCs and creatures feel like real entities, I also heavily nerfed sneak attacks so you can’t just one-shot everyone while sneaking:

  • []Sneak now has a 20% multiplicative bonus chance to crit (instead of the guaranteed 100%).

    []Sneak attacks deal x1 damage instead of 2 or 5 (ranged/melee).

VATS is no longer godlike:

  • []VATS no longer grants a 15% bonus crit chance or 90% damage reduction.

All weapons have been reworked:

  • []You won’t find useless guns anymore — for example, the 10mm pistol and Chinese pistol now have similar usefulness.

    []The minigun now feels like a true minigun. All melee and unarmed weapons have been buffed with more realistic range and greater power.

    []Late-game small guns are viable — the sniper rifle and . 44 Magnum do a respectable amount of damage.

All armors have been reworked too:

  • []There’s a complete DR rework: all perks that used to grant the player DR now grant HP instead. To compensate for this, all armors now provide much higher DR, making them more worthwhile.

    []Armors and weapons now have much higher durability — you’ll rarely need to repair them. No need to rush DLC winterized T51b anymore.

  • Durga can repair gear up to 100%.

I’ve tested the entire base game and all DLCs with this mod.

Known issue:

I changed the game’s language to German mid-playthrough and made some armor changes afterward. This caused about 80% of the armor names in the game to switch to German. If that’s a problem for you, don’t install this mod.

Note: This mod makes early game much much harder!

No other mods required! Only base game and all DLCs.

Easy install:

Copy .esp file to your "Fallout 3\Data" dirctory
