Sudden-Death Overtime:

"I like these guys. They let me play with their pucks." - Centre Dubois, 2277 AD

Another small fix for a minor but irritating bug.

Sudden-Death Overtime are a crazy team of would be hockey players encountered outside the Red Racer Factory during The Nuka-Cola Challenge quest if you find the Nuka-Cola Clear Formula.

If you sell the Nuka-Cola Clear Formula to them they will run to the Nuka-Cola Factory & that's where the problem starts.

Once in the Factory all three members will perpetually run on the spot with weapons drawn.

Rather immersion breaking & a sad end to a comical trio.

This mod allows everything to play out the same, except once Sudden-Death Overtime reaches the Nuka-Cola Factory they will now chill out & wander about even sit & relax.

I've tried to alter as little as possible, I have bumped up the team's Base Health as it seemed pointless for them to move about naturally only to be slaughtered by a Nuka Cola Robot! They are also much more likely to survive the run from Red Racer to Nuka Cola.

This mod will work If you haven't encountered Sudden-Death Overtime yet or if you've already sold the Nuka-Cola Clear Formula to them & they survived the trip to the Nuka-Cola Factory.

There is also a bug in vanilla Fallout 3 that means Goalie Ledoux will remain at the Red Racer Factory when his team mates head to The Nuka-Cola Factory.

This bug is fixed by a tweaked script in The Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.

If you don't use The Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch, don't worry I've included that tweaked script into this mod.

I quote from The Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch Readme:

"Q: I'd like to use one of the Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch's fixed meshes\textures ect. & base my changes on it, is that alright?

A: Sure is! credit isn't necessary but always nice."

So a big Thank-You Kindly to Quarn & that monumental work to improve Fallout 3, The Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch:

It contains tons of fixes to Fallout 3 like this & much, much more. I highly recommend it.
