Fallout 4 mod completely overhauls Bethesda’s apocalypse RPG

A new Fallout 4 mod completely transforms the mechanics and world of Bethesda’s 2015 apocalypse RPG, adding rebalances, system changes, and altered features to squeeze even more from the sandbox game, and give us all something to play while we wait on the Starfield release date.

Aptly titled Fallout More, the mod aims to “enhance the core mechanics of the game, whilst also providing many quality of life changes without adding anything too intrusive”. The base game of Fallout 4 remains almost completely intact, but everything, from the looting to the economy and NPC dialogue, has been subtly tweaked to make the open-world survival experience that much more realistic and optimised.

Difficulty is one of Fallout More’s greatest areas of focus, with the intent being to remove enemies that are too spongy and increase the challenge for players, without becoming too hard or obstructive. The player takes more damage, but so do enemies, with legendary variants spawning less often but packing more punch. Damage-related perks also hit harder, and enemies will react differently to bullets and wounds in different body parts. “Enemies will no longer blindly approach you as if they want to die,” says the mod’s creator, RelaxItsOk. “They will now move between cover in an attempt to close the distance and potentially flank. They are also much more confident when in groups. Every NPC type has been carefully tweaked to enhance their personalities in combat. This is something I’m very passionate about and I really like the results.”
