Realistic Fatigue ================= Version: 2. 4 Author: Donovan Baarda (abo@minkirri.apana.org.au) ATTENTION: This mod requires OBSE v0015 or greater! Tweaks all fatigue/encumbrance/movement settings to be more realistic and provide better gameplay. Adds immersive blur/pant fatigue warnings. Adds to all actors fatigue drains for health/encumbrance, fatigue burns for standing/walking/climbing, fatigue/movement based chance of stagger/trip, and NPC/creature panting/grunting. Includes repair fatigue utility. Inspired by the mods \"More Realistic Encumberment and Fatigue\" by Bayli & Mentalor, \"Immersive Health Indication\" by Oblivionmasta, and \"Running Revised\" by Deathless Aphrodite. Thanks to hfffoman for providing the NPC panting sounds. Designed to work together with Realistic Health, Realistic Leveling, and Carry Sacks but does not require them. Introduction ------------ This is a modification for Elderscrolls:Oblivion that improves how fatigue, encumbrance, and movement work. In Oblivion by default, any character can regenerate fatigue while running, even when carying as much as they can lift. Endurance has no impact on regeneration rate of fatigue, and it recovers so fast fatigue affecting potions and spells are useless. Encumbrance has no affect on fatigue at all. If you go over the magic encumbrance limit, you can\'t move, but if you are just below it, you can run forever. Fatigue and health have only bars to indicate how low they are.

All features can be adjusted or turned off if required. Supports both advanced and simple modes where advanced settings can be set directly or auto-calculated from simple high level settings. Adds immersive visual blur and panting sounds that gradually increase in intensity and frequency as player fatigue gets lower. You will notice when you are getting fatigued. Tweaks all fatigue, encumbrance, and movement game settings to be more realistic and provide better gameplay. The settings are based on research into real human fatigue, encumbrance, and movement models. Uses a Fatigue Effects ability applied to all actors so that scripted effects are applied equally to all actors including creatures, NPCs, and the player. Even your horse will start to whinny and stumble if you ride it too hard. * Adds fatigue drains for low health and high encumbrance. Your fatigue re
