📋 About This Mod
Name: Mercy Killing Karma Author: Trueform Version: 1. 0 Date: 04/11/2010 Cateogry: Gameplay Effects & Changes Link: None Homepage: None =============== Description: =============== Did you ever feel sorry for the Legion\'s crucified victims? No? Then you\'re a psychopath :P Seriously though, when you find the poor sods and examine them to try and help - recieving the message that removing them from the cross will kill them - you realize there is no hope for them and the one option becomes obvious; the kindest thing to do is put them out of their misery. I made a habit of doing so to every one of the Legion\'s victims I found, but not once did I recieve good karma for it - a bit odd, considering the only other option is to leave them in painful suffering. In case you haven\'t already guessed - and are still reading after a lengthy rant intro (or \'rantro\' if you like) to a small gameplay change, this mod is designed to give you good karma for performing mercy killings on the Legion\'s crucified victims. UPDATE: At the suggestion of cmal and The Girl Next Door, the initial message box have been made more streamlined and easier to read, so thank you both for your suggestions :) IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Modders put a lot of time and effort into making new content for games, so if you like files, please endorse them. It only takes a moment, it shows appreciation for the work, and it\'s the best way a modder can know at a glance if they are successful in their endeavors; if people don\'t endorse a mod they like, I myself always assume that it isn\'t well-recieved and won\'t make any similiar things in the future. Thank you for your time :) =============== Disclaimer: =============== I have the greatest respect for my fellow modders, but I have intentionally avoided looking at any other mods that have been made for New Vegas for the time being - I want the modding practise for NV and I don\'t want to be discouraged from trying something if a similiar mod has already been created. So, if there is something similiar out there, feel free to avoid mentioning it to me. If you feel offended because something of mine is similiar to your own mod, the resemblance is purely coincidental, and instead be proud - great minds think alike ;) =============== Requirements: =============== Fallout New Vegas =============== Install: =============== 1. Extract the files from the archive. 2. Copy files to (install - or \'Data\' - folder) 3. Start Fallout NV Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a checkmark beside the .esp file. =============== Un-Install: =============== 1. Start Fallout NV Launcher, click Data Files, uncheck the .esp file. 2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod. =============== Compatibility: =============== No compatiblity issues so far. =============== Bugs/Issues: =============== No known issues so far, please let me know if you find any. ===============
