A question on survival instincts of NPC-s

Post » Sun Apr 04, 2010 3:56 am

Are there any mods for FO3 or New Vegas that make cornered enemies surrender? Sure, wasteland is a harsh place and surrendering to some raider for example just means slower death and is not what your foes would do, but still i find it hard to believe, that someone whose mates have just been blown to pieces, limbs are crippled and gun has been destroyed wants to fight as eagerly as most foes do in these games. Sure, some foes run away for a few seconds if injured, but that's not the same.

Good idea this.

Also, what always got me riled about the NPCs in F03 was that; I could be the biggest badass in the whole of the Wasteland, in my Tesla Armour and equipped with A3-21s Plasma rifle and on level 30 with 100 Engery weapons and still the silly Raiders would still come and try to mess with me.

Wish there was some mod that made just some of the the weak and puny Raiders think twice - not all, but some of them. Maybe some unique dialogue/pvssyr from them when they realise who you are would be funny also.

I think there are mods for this but I think they need to be ported over to NV from FO3 first. In one you could take prisoners but it was more of a "mode" (on/off), meaning that either humanoid hostiles would fight until death or surrender once reaching 0 HP. The other mod was something with fear and pack mentality, meaning that most enemies would run away once you had PA and full health unless they were significantly more.

In other words: just wait until something similar pops up for NV.

That one mod makes me want to reinstall Fallout 3 :vaultboy:
