About this mod
Vanilla melee "block" only stops 25% damage. Now, block amount scales with your Strength. Also gives a burst of damage immunity when you successfully block, for multiple attackers.

Tired of "blocking" one Feral, only to be stagger-slapped to death by its 3 buddies hitting you at the same time?
Wondering why you just lost half your health to an attack you BLOCKED? Did you know that in the base game, blocking only stops 25% of an attack?
Step this way....
NEW: 2.0 completely reworked
Blocking now stops more damage the higher your current Strength is!
Also, a successful block gives a small, quick burst of damage immunity - meaning, if several things melee you at the same time, you will block all of them, instead of just "block the first guy while his friends are slapping me to death"
All things that modify block, like Cavalier's and Braced, are still effective (and now maybe actually useful!)
That's all you really NEED to know - but you'll get a lot more out of melee gameplay if you read the article on that tab over to the right -->
Silly optional file in action. THIS ONLY HAPPENS IF YOU USE THE "OPTIONAL" FILE DOWNLOAD. You can download BOTH versions, just make sure to only have ONE OF THEM active in your load order at a time! But that way, you can just switch back and forth between them as the mood strikes you :)
I ALSO MADE DESE TINGS:
Accelerator Sound Fix - Custom Reverb and Quad's Reload Sounds
Gets rid of the Bethesda Bullet Bangs every weapon has outdoors and gave the Plasma Accelerator 9 custom reverb tails from its own firing sounds. Also custom reload effects, and a slight balance tweak. Plus a new optional skin for fun.
Unique Pickman's Blade and Bowie Knife Buff
A unique appearance and new name for Pickman's Blade, instead of the generic Combat Knife, plus buffs Mike Moore's Bowie Knives' damage a bit.
Effective Melee Blocking
Makes blocks actually stop enough damage to keep you alive, and more
Ad Pictoriam - Brotherhood of Steel Apocolyptic Visuals-Only Override
Strips out most of the game changes from Ad Victoriam, existing-save friendly, keeps all the cool new visuals
Useful Assault Masks
Changes the Assault Gas Mask to three varieties of hood/mask color - and gives it stats that make it worth using
Mastermind - Automatron Provisioners using Robotics Expert
Think it's silly needing to be a politition and salesman to program your robots? Now the Robotics Expert perk works too!
Time to build your robot army!
Companion Stealth Distance Fix (No Free Hugs!)
Tired of your companions standing on your head when you stealth? Now with Less Dogmeat Standing on Loot!
Still some. Just much, much less.
Bugfix for Dismissed Companion Endless Babble
A permanent fix for the bug that makes Companions spout all their comments endlessly after you dismiss them.
You know, maybe I like the rain, Preston! Custom interval times available!
Perforation: Better Automatic Weapons
Not a damage number tweak, but a changed mechanic. Preserves balance and ammo, and adds fun.
Did I mention it also affects the Minigun and Gatling Laser

FusionGun-VIS: a compatability patch
