Combat Taunts [On, Off]
This option turns the combat taunt messages on and off. These
are the messages that non-player characters (everyone except you)
say during the middle of combat (you can say whatever you want,
just don’t annoy your neighbors - Vault-Tec will not be responsible for
any neighborhood complaints).
Combat Messages [Verbose, Brief]
When set to Verbose, the combat messages will use the longer,
more detailed messages. When set to Brief, the combat messages
will be very short, showing only the critical pieces of information.
Target Highlight [On, Off, Targeting Only]
When On, legal targets are highlighted during combat. When
Off, they are not. When set to Targeting Only, the highlights only
appear when the player is using the targeting cursor.
Violence Level [None, Minimal, Normal, Maximum Blood]
This preference controls the maximum death animation level
shown to the user. Maximum Blood shows all three levels. Normal
shows up to the second level. Minimal shows critters falling over
with blood. None shows the critters falling over without blood.
There is no practical difference in the game. What level the violence
meter is set to is purely personal.
Text Delay [Slider: Slow -> Normal -> Faster]
This option will control for how long the floating text and dia-
logue screen messages are displayed. Slow speed messages are dis-
played for twice as long, and Faster messages are displayed for half
as long.
Language Filter [On, Off]
When this filter is set to On, Fallout will not use as much adult
language. With the Language Filter set to Off, you will see stronger
language used. There is no practical difference in the game. The
choice of having the language filter on is purely personal.
Running [Normal, Always]
If set to Always, the character will run instead of walk if the shift
button is not pressed. Pressing the shift button will walk the charac-
ter instead of running, if Always is selected. Normal works normally.
