Harder Than You

My work lives and breathes on comments and endorsements, friends, so give my work some mouth to mouth(no tongue plz), and endorse! Current Update: =============== New hotfix to beta 7. 5 is out! Addresses legendary hunter perks and ant plasma on/off switch. Description: ============ This mod is for those of us that hit lvl 14, or lvl 10, or lvl 6 and found no challenge left in the game. We installed various mods attempting to remedy this, and some of them are great, but they never filled that hole. The challenge of a new game, new strategies and new ways to learn to die. So this mod adds new and varied abilities to almost every creature in the wastes(no changes to bloatflies, bighorners, brahmin, or regular dogs). Changes such as increased damage resistance, damage threshold, and regeneration are often tied to weaknesses that were not present in the vanilla game. A radscorpion that just won\'t die may become a quick kill if the stinger is crippled, for instance. For those not wishing to be spoiled, notes have been added to Sunset Sasparilla bottles as a chance when consumed. These notes are written by dear old festus, and give you detailed instructions on how to take down beasties. Getting all the notes will give you a perk, too, with two different perks available(one for wild wasteland, and one for those without it). Many of these changes are configurable to your liking, and the overall difficulty of the hardened experience is also configurable. I really recommend you skip over the(long) list of features, and just play, figure out strategies and die a lot. It\'s more fun that way. Plus the list of features is incredibly long. Scroll down for a full view of changes made by HarderThanYou. Updates: ======== Hotfix for beta 7 is available. This doesn\'t do much, but removes the hardened menu item from the apparel section, and reduces the duration of antivenom application/failure messages from 5 seconds to 3. HarderThanYou now requires MCM in order to be able to change settings, download this amazing mod and take a peek at some of the other amazing mods that utilize it! http://newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=42507 A Bit of Info On Me: =================== I stumbled on Poopoopapa\'s work on Hardened some time ago and had a lot of trouble getting a hold of him, only to find that he had stopped working on the mod. He green lighted me to take it over and so here are the fruits of my labor. Optional compatibility patches for AWOP, AWOP MoMod, and AWOP-MonsterPatch are also included(created by me). I hope that you enjoy my work on this mod, and give feedback on proposed DLC changes, monster changes you want to see, and any bugs you find. Below is the full change log, and spoilers are included, so only read on if you dare.
