Revamping the Third-Person Groove in Fallout: New Vegas

Let’s Talk About Movement!

So, here’s the deal: the Fallout gang has been kind of obsessed with first-person perspective lately, like that’s the only way to enjoy a post-apocalyptic romp. But let me tell you, switching to third-person is like popping popcorn in a microwave—sometimes, you just gotta see it from a different angle! Picture this: you’re trudging through a gloomy vault dodging ghouls, and you want to feel the tension close up. But when you step outside, rocking a dapper duster, swinging a golf club like a boss at some rabid Fiends? Yeah, bring on the third-person flair!

Introducing Wombat’s Magic Touch

Enter our hero of the day: modder extraordinaire Wombat! He’s rolled up his sleeves and given us a full-blown animated makeover for our third-person Fallout experience. This isn’t just for you—and your well-earned wasteland strutting; NPCs get in on the action too! Wombat’s latest creation, “Enhanced Animations – 3rd Person Movement,” is like a fancy buffet of animations for you and your pals to savor.

With this mod, forget the stiff, robotic moves! We’re talking about smooth transitions as you stand, stroll, haul it, leap, and land with style. Players get specific animations for slapping people with melee weapons and a little preview of what’s in store. Wombat promises he’s just getting started, so stay tuned for more!

Wombat has also tackled those pesky animation bugs that made your characters look like they were auditioning for a horror flick—think fingers bending weirdly or characters sliding awkwardly when you stop. Yikes! No more of that! With these tweaks, your on-screen buddies will finally act like actual human beings instead of creepy robots.

Installing This Bad Boy: So you wanna install this beauty? Step one: you’ll need a couple of plugins to kick things off—particularly the kNVSE Animation Plugin and the JIP LN NVSE Plugin. They’re essential, almost like a nightlight for your dark gaming path, and you probably have them already if you’ve dabbled in mods before. Once you’ve got those squared away, pop in the Enhanced Animations mod and voila! Get ready to unleash a whirlwind against those airborne cazadores!
