Triage

Triage v2. 0 by Kearsage Summary: Triage is a medical mod designed to find the balance between the very simplistic means of healing crippled limbs that exists in Fallout 3, without bogging the player down in complex treatment options and medical supplies. Concept: I found the vanilla Fallout 3 medical treatment system to be rather boring. You can sleep 1 hour in a bed and full heal all your broken bones and your sucking chest wound, or you can use a stimpak and remove the crippled effect from all your limbs simultaneously (though not fully heal them). On the other hand, I didn\'t want the mod to be overly complex, requiring me to to carry around 5 types of bandages with a have a half dozen ways to fix my various injuries. Moreover, all the doctors in the game had practically no purpose beyond treating radiation and selling you stimpaks, since a bed is as good a treatment for the most grievous of injuries as they are. Plus, I missed the days of the old \"Doctor\" skill from Fallouts 1 and 2, and like the idea that the character needs to specialize some if you want to treat crippled limbs. This has the net effect of making getting crippled a much more serious matter. The medicine skill is representative of your ability to heal cuts, treat deep bruises and other flesh wounds (your hit points). However, serious injury such as broken bones, punctured lungs and head trauma, while they may not kill you outright, require specialized knowledge of human anatomy in order to treat. Two new perks are added to represent this specialized knowledge: The Wasteland Doctor perk allows you to treat crippled arms and legs in the field and the Wasteland Surgeon perk allows you to treat the more serious crippled head and chest. Or as an alternative, you can take the Rad Child perk, and consume radiation to heal yourself. Recommendation: I also highly recommend MechanicalPirate\'s excellent Amplified Crippled Effects mod (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=85) which complements Triage exceptionally well.
