Stranger

================================================ INTRODUCTION ================================================ Stranger is a modification intended to make the world of Fallout 3 more exciting. Success in combat depends on player skill; at high combat skill levels, the player character aims exactly where you do, and each bullet can be fatal... whether it was fired from your gun, or your opponent\'s. Out-of-combat modifications improve various game imbalances and increase the difficulty of living in the wastes. Stranger is ideal for players who want to experience the harsh world of Fallout 3 as a survivor against impossible odds. Stranger is being developed as a modular addition. Most changes are optional and can be removed at any time. To play Stranger as intended, install all of the Core modules. ================================================ WORK IN PROGRESS NOTES ================================================ Stranger is in the very early phases of development. Many glaring imbalances and nonsensical design choices are due to the mod\'s work in progress state. If you have any feedback on balance or general gameplay issues, please leave it on Fallout 3 Nexus. I read every comment, and each one - no matter how incendiary - is appreciated. Melee and Unarmed is unfortunately not viable. Sorry to melee players; this issue will be addressed in future revisions. Players may wish to not install the weight capacity module until future revisions alter item weight. ================================================ INSTALLATION ================================================ Extract archive to your Fallout 3 folder. Open FALLOUT. INI in the My Documents/My Games/Fallout3/. Search for bInvalidateOlderFiles=0 and change it to bInvalidateOlderFiles=1. Run the Fallout 3 Launcher. Select Data Files. Tick all of the Stranger modules you wish to install, and select OK. Have fun! ================================================ READ BEFORE INSTALLING OPTIONAL PACKS ================================================ If you select the pack \"Stance affects accuracy\", do not install \"Stance does not affect accuracy\". These modules are unfortunately - and unavoidably - tied to the main combat module. If neither one of these modules is installed, accuracy will be drastically lowered. ================================================ CHANGES (SIMPLIFIED) ================================================ COMBAT Combat is mostly done in real-time, out of V. A. T. S.. All weapons deal reduced damage. Health has been greatly reduced, both for players and NPCs. Limbs cripple easily and have a much more pronounced effect. Accuracy is primarily determined by the player\'s aim. Various conditions have a minor effect on accuracy. Movement speed has been increased. Sneak-running has no Sneak penalty. V. A. T. S. Action Points regenerate very slowly. V. A. T. S. accuracy has been incre
