Enhanced Creatures

Enhanced Creatures is a complete enemy overhaul that enhances combat difficulty by fixing animations and improving attack patterns. It specifically addresses the issue of backpedaling.

One thing I never liked is how backpedaling is the answer to basically every single melee attacker in New Vegas. It doesn't matter what you're facing, just keep on backpedaling and chances are, you'll end up taking the least damage. Granted, it's an old game and the combat has never been great, but it should still involve a bit more action and timing than just backpedal and shoot mindlessly all the time.

Some attempts to address this problem have come up over the years, most notably reducing backpedaling speed, but gimping the player to make clumsy, ineffective enemies work never feels good. They should have been effective in the first place. Instead of preventing the player from backpedaling in full speed, the enemies should engage in a way that makes backpedaling itself a bad choice tactically. That to me, is the only real way to solve the problem.

And with Enhanced Creatures, hopefully it's solved.
