BLEED

[RoyBatty]

This mod is a damage and dot effect overhaul for Tale of Two Wastelands. Inspired by RWD and STALKER. Want to make more challenging while making weapons and DOT more effective? Add bleed out effects? This mod is for you. Install it and set the game difficulty to Very Hard.

Mod created from scratch by Roy Batty and Puppettron https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61141

Does this play nice with jsawyer's patch? I've heard normal/hard + hardcore is the way to go with jsawyer's so will this mod work okay on normal difficulty?

The difficulty settings for Jsawyer are more of a recommendation than anything else, same with BLEED. The higher the difficulty the less damage you do and the more hitpoints enemies have, this is to compensate for the higher damage output that this mod brings. If you want a casual playthrough, stick to Normal. If you want to play the way it's recommended, increase difficulty. Doing otherwise isn't going to break the game (maybe) but it's going to make it unbalanced.

Using them together is a true hardcore experience when you set difficulty to very hard.

BLEED is very awesome, more realistic dmg, less bullet sponge, i don't need change the dmg values with this mod.

You’re right BLEED is great. I’m getting smashed but fairly. Got crit for 3/4 of my health. SawyerBatty is also great. Had no idea what it did but am seeing it slowly ingame.

I’d add in the low level npc health tweak to SawyerBatty. It makes a difference. It’s not whack a mole.

Considering how all explosions got big damage boost maybe increasing DT on "Hit The Deck" perk would be good idea. I increased it to 35 from vanilla 25 in my game.
Also maybe increasing "Nerd Rage" HP percentage to something like 30% from 20%?

Out of scope.

Do you recommend using this with SawyerBatty mod? Not sure if this has been answered already.
And as usual thank you and the whole team for creating TTW.

If I recall correctly, Roy uses both in his game.
