Modder ‘Kormakur’ has released a new mod for Fallout: New Vegas that adds stagger animations to all NPCs. This cool mod can make your game experience even better. So, if you’re replaying it now, you might want to give it a try.
As the modder noted, the hit reaction animations are layered or added on top of the current animations. This will give a more immersive experience in combat. At the same time, they won’t affect the game balance.
The strength of the animation depends on several things, like health, the intensity of the original animation, and the character’s current pose. This lets you actually see when a character is hit, even if they’re busy doing something else. For example, if an NPC is shooting or reloading, a pain or stagger animation will play on top without interrupting them. The good news here is that the hit reactions are just visual. As such, they won’t change the game’s balance.
In short, this is a cool mod that you can download from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video for it. This video will give you an idea of what you can expect from it. So, be sure to watch it.
If you are into Fallout: New Vegas, you can also try these other mods for it. For instance, this mod adds real-time reflections. Another one changes over 1,000 functions to make the game run smoother. Oh, and there’s a mod that reduces landscape texture seams. Plus, there’s a mod to make the game’s characters even smarter. Another must-have mod is this one which improves collision accuracy, and fixes/optimizes meshes.
In June 2024, we shared a mod that brought to the game some STALKER-like anomalies. Moreover, you can get this mod that adds physically-based vehicles to the game. And if you love quests, there’s a mod that gives you an endless supply of new ones. Let’s also not forget Visuals Improved Content Expanded Mod. This mod fills the surroundings of Vegas to make it feel more like a real city.
There are also some cool fan-made expansions for New Vegas. Four of them are being made as we speak. These are Fallout: Broken City, Fallout Van buren Remake, Fallout: Nuevo Mexico and Star Wars Open Worlds. On the other hand, we have these DLC-sized mods that you can grab and play right now.
