📋 About This Mod
GREETINGS SCAVVER
This mod redesigns various game mechanics towards what would actually make sense from a logical standpoint.
If you're a realism/immersion freak like myself when playing games then you'll feel right at home.
Movement will feel correct, combat will be tense, and everything will just make a bit more sense.
All in all, you will have a completely different experience.
MOVEMENT
Humans move much slower, and different types of weapons will further affect mobility.
Sneaking is slower, strafing is slower, and aiming on the move will significantly slow you down.
You will actually feel like a person who has weight and momentum, not an arcadey camera whipping from corner to corner like a superhero.
POWER ARMOR
According to the lore, power armor can supposedly withstand multiple hits from heavy caliber rifles in the same spot.
The "equivalent" armor plates that we have today which even come close to such durability are extremely heavy.
Just to give some perspective, 1 cubic metre of aluminium weighs ~2700kg and that's just aluminium.
Furthermore, a cubic metre of steel (which is actually used for repairs in Fallout 4) weighs ~7800kg.
Lets assume that in the world of Fallout they use a special light(ish) alloy, but even then it would still set its weight in the range of ~500kg and upwards at the very least.
Considering all of this, power armor movement has been modified fitting to a suit of this magnitude.
That being said though, the heavier weapons are still much more manageable in a nice suit of high tech power armor so don't be discouraged.
NPCs
Human (and humanoid) NPCs have been altered accordingly, so they'll move at the same speed as you.
Creatures will now intimidate you a bit more with their abnormal physical capabilities.
Deathclaws move at deadly speeds.
Supermutants will propel to much higher speeds when moving in straight directions due to their sheer size, power, and muscle mass.
Wolves and hounds are very fast.
And all other creatures have also been carefully looked at in this fashion.
