📋 About This Mod
WOLVERINE ABILITY - NEW VEGAS VERSION IN DEVELOPMENT: Anyone who can do impact decals, PM me please.
The first thing I should mention is that this mod contains meshes and textures that were made by theoneness. All my attempts to contact the original author to obtain permission to use these models and textures have not been successful. They have not included any legal stuff in the original mod's description, and their last activity was from over 3 years ago.
Originally I intended to fix this mod up for personal use, but things got a bit out of hand and I ended up overhauling it. Anyway, long story short I figured that Wolverine is far too popular a character and the Wasteland far too perfect a setting for this mod to go unreleased.
However, if I am asked to take this mod down for legal reasons, I shall comply. I have no interest in getting banned or prosecuted.
Update If you are downloading the combined Wolverine Ability + Plugins.esp, it is a good idea to rename the file to Wolverine Ability.esp for an easy in-game transition.
Version 1. 3 This version contains Version 1. 2 and the Carbonadium Battery fix described below. Most importantly, this version fixes the inability to gain Adamantium Skeleton and Wolverine's Fury through normal leveling up. Additionally, kills with the (Super) Adamantium Claws now attribute to you instead of Liberty Prime and the Radiation Juice and Crippak are more potent.
- There is now a Carbonadium Battery for download which heavily irradiates anyone holding it. This is to enable completion of The Wasteland Survival Guide. This battery is a vital component in Megaton's H-Bomb. Disarming it should allow for removal.
Version 1. 2 This version contains Version 1. 1 and the Liberty Prime fix described below. A few other game settings have been fiddled with to make Wolverine more powerful when leveling up.
- I have disabled the Liberty Prime Bloody Mess effect from happening to the Player, and increased the Liberty Prime Laser damage from 1000 to 10000. Liberty Prime no longer kills you with one hit - he still does to everyone else - but he is still pretty dangerous. It's fun picking a fight with him, kinda like fighting a Sentinel...
Version 1. 1 This version contains the Claw Icon and Tranquility Lane fixes described below. Max Fall Height also increased so jumping off cliffs in Operation Anchorage is possible. Version 1. 0 and associated fixes moved to Archive Files.
- I just realised I forgot to include the Pip-Boy icon for the claws, so this texture has been added to the download page. It's just one texture, all packaged to copy correctly into the Fallout 3 folder.
- I have edited the script for Tranquility Lane which allow
Wolverine Ability adds 2 new and 1 modified perks, 3 new weapons, 3 new chems, and a host of unusual abilities to Fallout: New Vegas. It's a gameplay overhaul for fans of the mutant superhero, offering a variety of new tools and powers. With 421 endorsements and 12,261 downloads, it's a well-received mod from 2014.
