📋 About This Mod

The entire Point Lookout DLC has been rebalanced for an early/mid-DC experience, more similar to Honest Hearts than, say, Lonesome Road. This includes its weapons.

This used to be part of EDGE - it has been removed from EDGE and made standalone here for easier requirement for other mods like SWEEP which want to give the included weapons more reasonable balancing.

Features:

  • []Mirelurk kings lose the ability to fire their head beam if their head is crippled.

    []All NPC bonus damage has been completely removed.

    []Creatures' health and damage values have been hugely nerfed - reavers are still spicy characters though.

    []Energy weapons have been removed from PL bandits, but robots have been added to the encounter list in PL to replenish your EW ammo stock.

    []The double barreled shotgun has had its projectile count fixed, and it's been tweaked to be a more legitimate competitor to the sawed off shotgun.

    []The Gray Matters perk has been fixed to only provide -25% head damage, instead of -75%.

    []Bandits have a much greater variety of weaponry, and their highly powered weapons have been switched to higher levels specifically.

    []The XP reward for completion of A Meeting of the Minds has been increased from 300 XP to 500/750 XP. (+250 xp for killing both characters)

    []A new perk is granted for siding with Calvert, Cranial Contusion, which grants +5% crit. chance when targeting the head in VATS.

    []Panada has been made a much better merchant, with guaranteed access to the PL weapon mods, and a workbench and reloading bench have been added to her shop.

    []Panada has also been made much more capable of defending herself, given a weapon, and her robot has been buffed, implying that she improved it herself to serve as a better bodyguard.

    []A new autopsy opportunity has been provided, which allows Medicine 30 players to use a set of most of the surgical supplies to gain a perk granting bonus damage dealt to the head of swampfolk, and reduced limb damage when fighting them, along with some XP.

    []Spooky portraits have been added to Blackhall Manor. One is exclusive to Wild Wasteland.

    []Point Lookout - Cellar Home TTW has been included. The key is purchased from Panada.

    []Lakelurks have been added to spawns for variety.

    []Swamplurk Queen fatigue has been set much higher, to prevent them from getting knocked out by ghouls if creature fatigue damage is enabled.

Customization:None.

Requirements:

JIP LN, xNVSE, Johnny, the usual stuff.

TTW, obviously. 3. 3+, earlier versions are not supported.
