BRUTALITY Hardcore Rebalance

War Never Changes - Gameplay Overhaul

Goals : -Making fallout admit that the fun part of an RPG is not bullet sponges but role-playing. -Making fallout admit that the fun part of an FPS is not bullet sponges but long zooming of a zone followed by fast paced action and tense firefights. -Making fallout admit that the fun part of sneaking is one shooting enemies with a well placed headshot or backstab, not exploiting the IA by having your bullet do twice the damage to bullet sponges. -Making fallout admit that the fun part of a game is not bullet sponges. -Making the mod fully compatible with existing save games and safe to remove from saves with it.

THE FUN IS BACK

You are now playing a demanding and deadly first person shooter set in the fallout universe. The combats went from boring and gimmicky to tense and brutal. It's hard, it's unforgiving but fair, and you're gonna love it

Summary :

-Guns hit MUCH harder and are much more consistent in their damage trough the game. In a pinch, a pipe gun can still hurt endgame baddies. -Changed the gameplay, itemization, and exploit of OP perks from something designed as an ARPG (Diablo, Borderlands...) to something allowing "nerds characters" to be a viable path. Basically tuning down the draugr are training effect. -Melee character are now much more vulnerable but deal (after training) much more relative damage. -All perks are more viable, no more mandatory OP damage upgrade the game was balanced around. Damage perks are now a bonus, not a requirement, and you can use much more variety in your arsenal instead of being stuck with one kind of playstyle trough the whole game.

How is this mod different from other rebalance mods ?In vanilla fallout, the player damage scales by steps. (perks, modding weapons, better base weapon). If you miss a step (bad luck, taking charisma perks...), you will fill LESS powerful by gaining a level. On top of that, endgame enemies continue crazy scaling while the player has already unlocked all upgrades. Ok, you do higher "raw" damages than in the beginning, but your relative damage compared to the enemy health bar is ridiculously low. Lvling up = being LESS powerful. Derp.
