Among the modders eagerly tinkering away at Fallout: New Vegas, arguably "correcting" what they see as deficiencies in the original design, be ... lead designer J.E. Sawyer.

So why be this a mod instead a an official patch? "In addition t' technical reasons," Sawyer said, "some a the mechanics changes make the game significantly more difficult (base health / stim changes) or at least more a a hassle (carry weight, stims having weight, H2O/SLP/FOD rate increase). I'd rather have people opt-in t' those changes than make them the default in a patch." This be also something Sawyer be doing in his spare time, as nobody be officially working on New Vegas anymore.
