📋 About This Mod
No Combat Menu
No Combat Menu prevents you from accessing your inventory menu, as well as preventing looting containers/corpses, while you are in combat. Yes, this makes combat significantly more difficult. You will need to plan ahead and make strategic use of your quick keys, as they are your only way into your inventory. And no, you can not change your quick keys while in combat either.
May God have mercy on your soul.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds a layer of challenge for players who find pause-menu cheesing too easy

- Decent community support with 93 endorsements and 1,486 downloads
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2021 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches

For players who want a more punishing, immersive combat experience and are tired of pausing to heal or swap weapons. If you're a purist who likes to prepare before a fight, this is for you. Skip it if you prefer the convenience of pausing during combat or if you're on a newer game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're fully prepared before entering combat — check your ammo, potions, and gear beforehand.
- If you're playing on a newer version of the game, test the mod early to ensure it works, as it hasn't been updated since 2021.
- Consider pairing this with other difficulty mods for a hardcore playthrough.
