Hi all. Just picked up Fallout 3 again. Not played it in years, decided to try some mods. Game is playing fine with FWE and MMM. (The only two mods i was really interested in trying).

First of all let me say i love fallout 3, it is a genuinely good game. But one thing that's always bothered me is that i can shoot someone point blank in the face with say a shotgun, and they take no damage whatsoever. I understand its a roll of the dice sort of thing. But I've never felt it worked in fallout. Morrowind, Skyrim sure. But its just plain tedious in Fallout.

Only when in vats at the same distance does the gun actually do anything. Then it blows there body into a million peices and everyone around dies too ha. Slight exaggeration.

So yeah, is there anyway to make the guns actually behave like guns? Is there a mod already? Or would it be possible to make this happen?

Thanks in advance people!

I'm not sure what game you're playing but it's not Fallout 3. I've never used VATS and I can assure you that if I shoot someone in the face with my Combat Shotgun they will take damage. Lots of it. And damage is not determined by a roll of the dice. They are actual values based on a number of factors, like damage reduction, gun skill etc.

Oops, I meant to edit.
