Introducing the Veteran’s “Real PTSD” Mod – the affliction that proves even the grumpiest old sea dog can get a little extra skill from his scars!

You might think PTSD stands for "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder", but that's not quite right. After the iconic WAR™, Europas finest shrinks have discovered a new sickness in submarine-captains,

[h1]Post Traumatic Submarine Disorder![/h1]

How does it work? Upon taking the Veteran talent, a new Affliction befalls you, and you occasionally remember the horrors you went through in the WAR™.

But thats not all. Your Accomplishments in the WAR™ have made you become more skilled in the use of weapons, and slightly increased your medical expertise as well.

Side Effects may include:

  • Hearing the screams of your fallen enemies
  • Hearing the screams of your fallen comrades
  • Imagining Gunfire
  • Thinking your submarine is burning down
  • Coming across as crazy as you ask your doctor why he keeps injecting you with syringes (He has no Meds left, as he used them all to experiment on Artie)
  • A general state of confusion
  • NEVER FORGETTING THE WAR™
  • NEVER FORGETTING THE WAR™
  • NEVER FORGETTING THE WAR™
  • NEVER FORGETTING THE WAR™

[h1]Technicals:[/h1] This mod overrides the Vanilla Veteran Talent! [spoiler]Increases the skills from the Veteran-Talent to 10 for Weapons, and 25 for Helm, to compensate. You periodically hear the screams of your fallen enemies, weaponfire, explosions, guteral screams, or doors breaking down.[/spoiler]
