In The Shadow Of The Valley is my attempt at an All-In-One gameplay Overhaul for Fallout New Vegas, inspired by the mods I have played with over the past year. I have used many open permission mods as well, and were inspired by others. As such, this will NOT be opted in for DP as I feel that is unethical. 

Discord for Feedback!

THIS IS AN OVERHAUL AND AS SUCH IS MEANT TO BE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR LOAD ORDER! 

=================================================
I will list incompatible/compatible mods here as time goes on. 

=================================================
As of right now, this is a very early Alpha test meant so that I can play it at my girlfriend's family's house, but I am opening it to the public. 

=================================================
I should probably go over what each aspect of the mod is, and what the future plans are:

-Enemy Health: Enemies have much less HP now, and should die in 2-3 headshots in using proper Ammunition. There are new custom classes for Enemy combatants, and a scaling resistance and skill system: Brotherhood paladins resist more damage innately and have better skills than a powder Ganger, for example. For a full list of the NPC and Creature difficulty tiers, check this document. 

-Ammo Effects: Every ammo type has a damage Multiplier, DR Multiplier, DR subtracted, DT Multiplier and DT Subtracted, along with spread and condition adjustments. In general, Ballistic Ammo is good against DR, and energy Ammo is good against DT. Explosive ammo has a DT multiplier penalty. There are also brand new ammo types, such as Taser, Soporific, Pre-War and Rubber. For a list of all ammo effects, check out this document.

-Loot Rarity: Loot is more uncommon. The chance for Loot to spawn has been decreased across the board but is never zero. You might find some extra rare items during your journey, such as ultra stimpaks. Just about every leveled list has been tweaked in some way, and more tweaks will come each update. The player also starts out with a complex set of items based on their Tagged skills, their SPECIAL stats, and their Traits. For more details of what you get based on your stats, check out this document.

-Weapons: Damage is increased across the board. Skill requirements have been increased, and so has strength to make perks like weapon handling more useful. No gun is 100% accurate at 100 skill now, but many are very close. Non-GRA versions of guns can have GRA weapon mods attached now. Energy weapons consume more ammo to make up for their increased penetration. Shotguns have reduced pellets to make it harder to abuse And Stay Back!. All projectiles have been Overhauled, including adding visual tracer effects. Big Guns have returned, and follow the Design Doc for TTW. Further plans include making it so that bladed weapons cause bleed and Blunt Weapons knock out. For further details on what weapons is affected by what perk, look at this document.

-Armor: Armor weighs much less, and also has a DR value in place. Each armor and headpiece is spread out across 10 tiers, with each tier increasing Poison Resist, Energy Resist and Fire Resist. All armor pieces now have at least one positive effect (usually three) and a negative effect. The effects are thematic to the armor type or the character who uses it: for example, Ambassador Crocker's outfit gives bonuses to Speech and Barter but a Penalty to Luck to show that he's been unsuccessful in his negotiations. For a full list of all effects, check out this document. 

-Perks: ALL perks are unleveled now, except for the three Karma Perks. Instead of a level requirement, there are now steep skill and SPECIAL requirements. There are no "free" perks now. Many perks have been Overhauled to have additional or new effects, either made by me or lifted from perk mods with open permissions. There are several new traits based on Classic Fallout traits, and lots of new perks that create "Classes" of weapons. For more details, check out this document. 

-Crafting: Every single Ammo type can be crafted and broken down now, all using vanilla components. Cases and Primers can be made with scrap metal. Many pieces of junk can be broken down for scrap metal and scrap electronics. Food recipes have had decreased requirements to account for the slower leveling rate. All food and water no longer heals unless you have perks. All chems and some foods have negative effects now. Certain recipes are available only to Cannibals. There a lots of new food and recipes now, including the ability to purify irradiated food, combining irradiated food into rad-resisting meals, cooking meat into charred meat for low survival characters, basic broths which are for low survival characters and powerful soups with major effects for high survival characters.

-Economy: Everything is worth much less. Merchants have less caps. Caps are harder to find. Merchants have a much wider variety of potential goods. The Barter multipliers are heavily skewed against the player. Pre-War super ammo can be purchased from merchants, but is extremely rare. Broken versions of junk, that can't be used in crafting, can also rarely be found.

-Stat formulas: Quite a bit of them have been changed. NPCs and the player have a lower starting health and have different HP formulas. Carry weight has a different formula. Skills start at 0 and tagging only gives you a tiny bonus, and in later updates, a perk. Luck has less of an impact on crit chance now. Agility is worth more AP. Leveling is roughly 233% longer, so that leveling up and getting a perk is *really* rewarding
