    Veronica is too strong.

    I agree Veronica is way too tough. I found a mod someone had put together on the Nexus that reduced Veronica's power fist to spiked knuckles (and boones sniper rifle to a hunting rifle). Small change but appropriate i think. This will actually make the companion situation worse as it will...

    What is your favorite part

    Honestly i really like the early game. It's tough, and it feels like a fight for survival. It was the same with FO1&2 for me. Of course the early game always feels a bit repetetive because your choices are limited ... but it also feels like the part of the game that's tight, and not bloated...

    Supply and Demand Mod (Download Added)

    Boy does FO2 need this. The lack of *any* economic system really drags the mid-late game down. But back in 1998 i guess no games had economic systems.

    FO2 Mechanics Overhaul Mod

    I totally dig your thinking Jim.. it's great to see sfall being used to it's potential - TImeslip would be proud. The eye-crit problem really drags FO1 & 2 down. Although i have no experience of guns I would guess it as pretty much beyond human ability to reliably hit someone in the eye who...

    Agility & Armor Class

    Clever solution. I like it. Although remember that will reduce AP also - not neccesarily a bad thing, however. Also - doesn't each point of AG only give a few points of AC?

    Mutated animals and insects too annoying.

    For victor to turn up you have to be at approx 25% health or less. If you've got 2 or more cazadores on you in that situation you're probably dead anyway (at low level) You can keep running - that's true. You can run from most enemies and they can't hit you - mostly. I don't use VATS -...

    Mutated animals and insects too annoying.

    well, anyone who says cazadors are easy to kill isn't playing Very Hard jsawyer. At lvl. 1 you can have a max of 140hp with EN 10 and on very hard a cazador will hit you for min 140 damage every time without crit (70 base damage x2 for very hard.). Given how fast cazadors move and attack ...

    Agility & Armor Class

    Great work man! For a long time i wanted to do this, but gave up mainly because of the problem you explain that early enemies become really tough! I also completely agree about the eye-crit problem late-game and made a mod ages ago using sfall that made them much harder. Overall game...

    Armor and DR

    Absolutely - and they don't seem to be slowed down by heavier armor either! I do generally provide my companion with the best armor I have, because when we go up against really powerful enemies i'll be hiding in the corner because i take 200% damage and with jsawyer you have fewer hit points...

    Mutated animals and insects too annoying.

    I totally agree with the OP. I always play Very Hard and jsawyer AND ironman (when i die i'm dead) - and mutated animals and insects are FAR more dangerous than human enemies. And it doesn't seem right to me. When i see a target on ED-E's scope i'll sneak and be very careful to find out...

    NV voice acting.

    Sure - don't get me wrong: i'm not saying i don't like the few voices there are. The first two voices you hear, for example - doc mitchell and sunny smiles are both pleasant, rich voices. But take the NCR officers for example - after meeting two or three i realised they all sound the same...

    NV voice acting.

    Yeah, i've thought about that. But then i'd miss new voices when they crop up and as i've only played through i think 50% of the game that would be a shame. I really liked the voice of Joshua Graham for example. Has anyone tried playing without voice? It'd be interesting to hear if the...

    Armor and DR

    Ha! THanks man. Well, i only ever play with jsawyer. And now you told me this i don't think i'll EVER play without it! I mean - shit - i really struggle to justify weighing myself down with combat or power armor WITH the DR. If it didn't have DR why would anyone ever bother wearing...

    NV voice acting.

    So they employed a reasonable variety of voice actors for Skyrim huh? But the content got worse!? Classic! At some point i can understand the problem they have - these games have 100's of characters. They can't employ 100's - or probably even 50 voice actors. But then to me the problem...

    NV voice acting.

    Dude are you serious? Most of the named NPC's use the same voice. Sometimes you can hear the voice actor trying to change their voice a little from character to character but to me it's obviously the same actor and i feel like i'm meeting the same people over and over again in different bodies!

    Armor and DR

    Ok, having trawled the net i can't find a conclusive answer to this question: Does any armor in NV have DR? The armors statistics do, sometimes, show a DR value, but i read DR was cut from NV and DT determines armor effectiveness. Also the wiki makes no mention of any armor having DR.

    NV voice acting.

    I know this has been said before, and I hear FO3 is much worse, but i have to say: the 5 different voice actors they use to voice the 100's or even 1000's characters in NV is RIDICULOUS!! I'm new to FO3/NV and this was one of the first flaws that struck me and has only got worse as i explore...

    Replaying Honest Hearts

    I've only ever played NV this way. In fact i've never even played it on normal to know how much harder this makes my game. Yeah. When i died in HH it was due to lack of gear/ammo/degraded armor. My two cents on HH after my first playthrough: PROS: - I enjoyed the environment like...

    Game difficulty and companions.

    Very Hard difficulty does make the combat pretty vicious in my experience. Enemies do 200% damage and I do 50% damage or so i read. However, this doesn't seem to affect followers at all, which is quite annoying as it means Veronica, ED-E, Boone etc are damage tanks and killing machines while i...
