News 01/04/2013 Now some aspects of the mod are optional. See below. EDIT: Upon testing, it seems that the VATS value changes nothing, it seems that the chance in VATS is governed by the other spread values. Removed the VATS optional (I really should play test before release). NPCs optional, or lack thereof, works, though. 12/23/2012 New Version. The other version made spread with crippled arm(s) be 0. Well, that\'s fine and dandy if it was actually JUST spread, but it affects gun wobble as well. Removed the records altering crippled values in this version. 12/22/2012 Fixed an unintended consequence in the VATS. Removed the wobble value, it didn\'t affect anything.
Description You are years in the wasteland, you know your sh**. A raider approaches. As experienced as you are with this damned life, you suddenly became more vulnerable to the dangers of the wasteland (thanks to my balance mods). The raider, though, seems very tired from his raids, and he didn\'t even spot you. Holding tight to your trusty hunting rifle, you aim for a clean headshot, to give this evil man what he deserves after killing dozens of innocents. You pull the trigger, certain that you\'ll land the hit, you\'re good at it. As a magical process, the bullet makes a curve!
Detail Yeah, it\'s fun to bullet bend, but not when you don\'t have any control over it. This mod removes ALL spread from the game (reference). This seems realistic if you think about it. An unfortunate consequence is that the gun wobble is rid with the spread, no matter what I did to the wobble setting I changed in the earlier version.
Versions Standard - your arms start to move everywhere when crippled. Easy - you shoot perfectly fine with crippled arms. Both versions contain an optional that were once integrated in the main file. GSS NPCs - if you use this file, the NPCs will shoot \"perfectly\", making your game harder. Choose the Standard or the Easy version. Use the optional or not. Load order does not matter between these two files.
Known Issues and Bugs None.
