Last week, a mod for the Boston-set Fallout 4 earned the ire of Major League Baseball because it featured David Ortiz and Red Sox paraphernalia. Given that Fallout 4 is only a week old, many of these mods are simple cosmetic upgrades - higher-quality 3-D models and textures, color swaps, a Taylor Swift background for the playable character’s wearable computer. Mods are popular enough to sustain substantial online communities, and when it comes to modding communities, there are few that can rival the one for Bethesda games. Mods (short for “modification”) allow players to tweak the game, from things as minor as interface tweaks to more substantial additions like new characters and locales. While some play on console systems like the Xbox and PlayStation, many are playing it on PC, because that version offers mod support. You may already own it: Bethesda Softworks, the game’s publisher, announced that they had shipped 12 million units of the game “representing sales in excess of $750 million” (shipping, it should be noted, is a different metric from sold). You may already know this, since the game has been the subject of a pretty heavy media blitz before launch. Fallout 4, the newest blockbuster role-playing video game, came out last week. In the German Ultimate Edition, for each crippled limb you have, you do additional 25% damage to enemy limbs. Similarly, the phrase was the defining premise for Hammurabi's Code, one of the first recorded sets of laws in history.This perk takes its name from the Biblical verse "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" from Exodus 21:24.

When sneaking, the perks Tunnel Runner (none, or light armor only) and Implant M-5, as well as the Stealth suit Mk II (medium armor) can speed up movement.
