If you're like us and you found that vanilla F3 was a little too easy, that guns didn't seem to feel (real,) (honestly, who can take an entire mag of 7.62 and still run at you with a sledgehammer?) and enemies were just a little too dull: this is the mod for you. Here's a short list of what this mod adds: 120 new weapons (new models/textures too), backpacks, a ton of new armor, makes guns more lethal, enemies will throw more grenades, repairing is more versatile and the list goes on. Stimpacks are actually useful now that you're taking more damage and the game feels a lot more (real.)

The main thing we can say about this mod is that it really makes the game feel more (post apocalyptic.) Ammo costs more, and different guns use different ammo. You will need several types of weapons at any given time because you only have, say, 57 rounds for your AK-47. The weapons just (feel) more deadly and the sounds have been completely revamped. 50 caliber sniper rifle anyone? Power armor is now trainable in more locations, with helmets now having night vision built in.

If you feel like starting another character from scratch, we highly recommend this mod. Just be wary, if you're used to playing on expert, expect to be humbled by this mod. We started at Very-Easy and it was not a walk in the park. This mod is Fallout 3 hardcore mode, and it's fun.
