📋 About This Mod

This mod contains a slight adjustment of the color palette employed by the Bark Scorpions, which are often encountered in the early perimeter of the game.

The adjusted palette is applied to the Radscorpions, rather than the Bark Scorpions, so as to resemble the aforementioned creatures from the original title.

Upon playing the original Fallout titles, I realized how abysmal the color of choice for the Radscorpion is. Granted, the scorpions in the Mojave are depicted as Emperor Scorpions, which explains their dark exoskeleton along with their bulky body, however, I would argue that it is one of the most infuriating discrepancy between the original titles, and Bethesda's rendition of Fallout.

Regardless, I am in hopes that this mod will be enjoyed by people who sustain levels of vexation similar to mine as a consequence from recognizing the vast differences in Radscorpion design between the two developers in question. Perhaps you fancy an alternative texture of the Radscorpion (yes, I am entirely conscious of the repetition of designated creature name for the abnormally large, mutated spider equipped with a stinger that insidiously diminishes your health whilst a exasperating sound occurs).

I am a novice in terms of modding, as such, criticism is requested, and invaluable! Please oblige me by offering constructive criticism, or any advice in regards to modding, and the posting mods. Thank you for visiting!
