I meant the tag line to read: removes NPCs from COMPASS... lol.... it sounds like it takes out NPCs from the game... :facepalm:

This little mod:

has made my game amazing.

No longer do I know if that person on the horizon is a friend or foe. Do I shoot first? Do I wait in case it is a friendly face?

No longer when an enemy runs away can I radar-track him or know exactly where to go. Combined with Arwen's mod it is now common for NPCs to hide around corners and ambush me as I pass.

No longer, in the dark and dank underworld of the subways and sewers, is the darkness a minimal problem b/c my trusty compass immediately hones in and alerts me anyways....

This mod has made the game sooooo much more suspenseful and fun.

I highly recommend it to people who want a grittier more realistic wasteland experience.

One additional note: this mod simply puts in a new menu file - so it is permanent. Back up your menu folder in the Fallout3 Data if you decide you don't like it and want to go back to the vanilla

I use this mod as well, it's great fun to have a feral ghoul jumping you without warning. Very creepy, especially in ghoul invested dungeons. Uninstalling is easy: just delete the file from your menu folder, though I don't use any other hud mods alongside this.

I agree, I've been playing without a compass for ages and its lead to all sorts of scary and even humorous events. I've got almost no hud now though, that took some getting used to. I've only got the radiation, experience and location elements left. I find now that the hud detracts from the game.

You know, without a single NPC in the game, it would be incredibly eerie, but of course get old after like 30 minutes of running around in an empty world.
