This is a collection of patch files for "A World of Pain" by David LeMaistre (djmystro) which enhance various aspects of the original mod. They can be used individually or in combination. The collection as a whole should be placed after (below) all other AWOP mods and patches that are not part of this collection.
You Are The Hero
AWOP introduces so many elite NPC good guys across New Vegas ("Red Beret" NCR Troopers, Wasteland Heroes, and Wasteland Legends) that their very presence makes any need for you as an up-and-coming Hero seem totally irrelevant. So this patch removes them from the game, thereby recreating a meaningful need for your personal help. Also, Sgt Arkus in Goodsprings is scaled down in order to play a less significant role in "A Ghost Town Gunfight".
Although similar to the original AWOP Low NPC patches, this deals strictly with removing excess good guys and is more thorough; bad guys are left untouched for you to go clobber.
This can be used with an existing character.
You Are Still The Hero
Similar in intent to YOU ARE THE HERO, this patch scales down AWOP good guy NPCs to more reasonable levels, rather than removing them, but still ensures the need for your personal help. NCR Red Berets become low to moderate level NCR Military Police, Wasteland Heroes and Legends become low to moderate level Wasteland Explorers, and Wasteland Mercenaries and Vigilantes are also scaled down. In addition, AWOP's Goodsprings Vigilantes become non-combatant Goodsprings Settlers.
Although this can be used with an existing saved game, it only affects individual NPCs that have not yet been created / spawned (which occurs when you visit an area for the first time); so it works best with a totally brand new character.
