What does this mod do?
A minor tweak to a game setting that ensures you receive the XP you rightfully earn. In the base game, when you engage in combat with NPCs, you must deal a certain amount of damage to qualify for XP upon defeating them. The default setting is rather stringent, at 25%. This mod, however, significantly reduces it to less than 1%. This means, in the original game, that even if you throw a grenade and damage several enemies, but some of them receive less than 25% damage due to the explosion radius, and your companions finish off the enemies, you won't receive any XP. This change is ensuring that your efforts are always rewarded and you don't waste valuable resources like grenades. This mod fixes that for you!
