📋 About This Mod
Complete gameplay rebalance focused on realism and challenge. Overhauls 20+ core systems including combat, stealth, loot distribution, survival needs, and enemy AI. Features integrated quality-of-life improvements and visual enhancements.
This is a combined mod designed to globally overhaul the core gameplay mechanics. My goal is to increase difficulty and realism, making the immersion in the world of Fallout 3 deeper and requiring thoughtful decisions from the player.
I've always been unhappy with the basic gameplay of Fallout 3, I wanted to change something at my discretion with an eye to a compromise version of realism.
Fallout 3 Revision is a massive compilation of modifications aimed at globally increasing gameplay difficulty and enhancing survival realism in the Wasteland. The mod introduces harsh limitations: it radically reduces maximum health and carry weight, adds basic needs (hunger, thirst, sleep), and makes healing through sleep or regular food highly inefficient. The combat system and the world have also undergone significant changes: stealth is now much harder, Super Mutants are equipped with heavy weaponry, wild creatures fight each other in faction wars, and headshots deal increased damage. The abundance of useful loot has been removed, the passage of in-game time has been slowed down, and stimpaks and chems now have weight and a high price tag. Additionally, the compilation integrates numerous useful technical and visual improvements, such as a built-in flashlight, a HUD clock, a quick loot menu, and the removal of the unnatural green tint from the screen.
War… War never changes.
What does this mod do?:
[]Less Hitpoints - new formula: (Endurance x 10) + (LVL-1) x 5. For example, with Endurance 10, you can have a maximum of 195 hp at level 20 without taking additional abilities (Vanila gameplay would allow you to gain 490 hp).[/]
[]Less Carry Weight - new formula: (Strength x 15). Now you will think more often about how to dispose of your inventory.[/]
[]Less Dismember and Explode part chances (10%) in comparison with Vanilla (50%/75%) - now the enemies heads will not fly off so often.[/]
[]Less Degradation - Weapon and Armor are degrades 50% slower.[/]
[]Less Loot - the amount of useful orphan goods has been reduced. No more stimpaks and ammo pouches in every container.[/]
