About this mod
Alters health ranges for almost all NPC's & locational damages.

- Changelogs
This mod changes almost all NPC health ranges, and by health ranges I mean the lowest and the highest health any type of NPC can have, and everything inbetween.
For instance, in vanilla a regular ol' Gunner's health could range from 40 to 1260, and that's without health scaling taken into account. Ridiculous.
It also alters locational damage for a few things, for example making human limbs take a bit less damage, robot weakspots more damage, having ghoul limbs come off more easily and having limbs on most things cripple a lot more easily which gives you a reason to not just always aim for the head.
It also comes with the ability to dismember humans & super mutants without killing them, which lets you disarm enemies by shooting their arms which can make them flee if they can't fight back or make them fall to the floor by shooting their legs where they will continue to fight back while sitting down but will be unable to move.
This means that lower-level combat will be more difficult for the most part, but it won't become borderlands when you get to higher levels.
I tried my best but I couldn't figure out how to properly edit Unique NPC's, they have very bizzare forumlas that seem almost hardcoded, so any unique enemies you come across may still be tanky.
difficulties in keeping separate mods with separate entries
up to speed, they will still work just fine but
Unbogus Fallout Overhaul
is now the main focus
Features include:
•All humans have average health, kinda what you'd expect, no raiders with bloatfly health nor gunners with tankbot health
•Radroaches are decently tougher, they're giant mutated roaches after all and roaches are pretty decent at not dying
•Molerats are somewhat hardier, you'd imagine their hide would be extremely resilient like a honey badger's if not more so
•Bloatflies are more fragile at higher levels, god damn bloatflies
•Bloodbugs are decently resistant but no longer tanks
•Deathclaws are more resistant
•Ghouls have more health in general and weak health regen
^combined with the locational damage change, I highly recommend grabbing Unbogus Melee to deal with ghouls and not waste too much ammo
•Radscropions have less health at higher levels but a little more at lower levels, still want them to be intimidating
•Synths are considerably tougher at lower levels and slightly weaker at higher levels
•Turrets have plenty more health, they are designed to defend, not to blow up if looked at funny
•Vertibirbs have higher resistances at lower levels, but are now more susceptible to energy damage
•Yao Guais have higher resistances but slightly lower health to represent them having ridiculously strong hides
•Supermutants are tougher at lower levels and a bit weaker at higher levels
•Supermutants regenerate health passively which gets stronger with higher levels, this was intended to be a vanilla ability but was cut for some reason
^supermutants can be tough to deal with at lower levels until you get decent gear and legendary ones can really piss on your parade, keep this in mind
•Mirelurks are a bit tougher
•Mirelurk kings are decently tougher
•Mr.Gutsy..ies have slightly less health, however the lower level units have a bit higher resistances
•Assaultrons have more health and higher resistances, they're supposed to be one of the finest battlefield units after all
•A certain unique visitor will put up a fight now
•Coursers are pretty dangerous, approach with caution
•Melee varieties of enemies are tougher
•Energy damage will almost always be more effective against robots and armor compared to physical damage, in vanilla it was kinda all over the place
•Different Protrectron models have different health & resistances, for example Fireman models will be resistant to energy while Construction will be resistant to physical
•Legendary enemies take 40% less damage, this was designed with 'Unbogus Health Scaling' in mind so I can't guarantee balance without it
•Behemoths have fairly strong health regen
•Children of Atom have some health regen
•Glowing variants of NPC's have some health regen
•Companions have limb damage immunity to help ward off a vanilla bug where they can get stuck being crippled until you fast travel, this was done via a perk called CompanionInspirational, so it will be fully compatible with any companion mods unless they alter that perk
•Workshop Turrets will no longer use up any energy, you still need to wire them up however
•Several other changes & DLC things
Locational Damage changes include:
•Limbs on Humans & Supermutants can be blown off without killing them, adding a new tactical layer to the game
^If you play with Unbogus Ranged, low-caliber weaponry will be unable to cause non-lethal dismemberment, which is neat!
•Limbs can be crippled more easily, perhaps giving you a reason to not always go for the head
•Limbs will spew forth some extra BLOOD when crippled to give you a better visual indication on when you cripple something
•Humans take less damage to limbs and slightly more damage to the head
•Robots take less damage in general but their weak spots take increased damage
•Deathclaws take a bit less damage to limbs
•Mirelurks take a bit less damage to everything except the head
•Power Armor takes half damage to everything, you may want to bring explosives against these now
•Ghouls can lose their heads without dying and take less headshot damage
•Sentry bots take less damage to everything except head, and take massively increased damage to the fusion core
•Synths take less damage and take very little additional head damage, but their limbs can be shot off more easily
•Synths can lose their heads without dying
•Vertibirbs take increased damage to wings & tail, and slightly less to body
•Other similar changes to DLC stuff
