bHideInvisibleUndiscoveredLocations = 1

; remove companions from VATS
; Axonis: YES, it's just an annoynace
bIgnoreCompanionsVATS = 1

; Axonis: no, because it doesn't take wobble into account
bKeepCrosshairWhenAiming = 0

; prevent opening the pause menu when switching the game via Alt-Tab

bNoAmmoCasings = 0

; remove the movement penalty when holding a weapon
; Axonis: no, the penalty encourages normal behavior

; remove the delay between hacking attempt
; Axonis: no, without the delay I wouldn't try as hard to find the password

; stop the Location Discovered notification at the HUD
; Axonis: no, the notification is useful, see bHideInvisibleUndiscoveredLocations
bNoLocationPopup = 0

; remove the max bet in casinos and make increments above 1500 increase by 500 (from 100 default)
; Axonis: no, not without some mod that would prevent cheating in gambling

; remove the "Loading extra content..." pop-up at the start menu
; Axonis: YES, YES, YES, kill that damn pop-up
bNoStartMenuDLCPopup = 1

; stop the "Actor is now unconscious" message
; Axonis: no, the message is useful
bNoUnconciousMessage = 0

; disallow targeting invisible enemies in VATS without EDE's perk
; Axonis: YES, as much as I loathe invisible enemies, it's a cheat to use VATS against them
bNoVATSTargetInvisible = 1

; disable all XP messages
; Axonis: no, bNoXPBarInCombat is good enough
bNoXPMessages = 0

; only allow waiting while sitting
; Axonis: no, although it does elevate the importance of furniture, it's really bothersome when you really have to wait without a chair nearby
bOnlyAllowWaitWhileSitting = 0

; remember the bobby pin health between locks (works through saves)
; Axonis: YES, anticheat
bRememberBobbyPinHealth = 1

; remove the useless downloads button from the main menu
; Axonis: no, because I prefer the way I do this in VUI+ with the space above Quit
bRemoveDownloadsButton = 0

; remove the [HIDDEN] etc. label from the HUD
; Axonis: no, unless a Perception roll would be taken into account for this label
bRemoveSneakLabel = 0

; remove the damage buffer provided for weapons above 75% condition
; Axonis: no, the buffer relieves me from trying to keep my weapons at 100% condition at all times
bRemoveWeaponDamageBuffer = 0

; Adds a hot-key 'Left-Alt' to instantly end the player death-cam
; Axonis: no, I play dead is dead and take care not to die, but when it happens it's supposed to be dramatic
bSkipDeathcamHotkey = 0

; add hotkey Tab to go back in the start/pause menu
; Axonis: no, there's Esc for that
bTabBackInStartMenu = 0

; add hotkey Tab to close terminals
; Axonis: no, because Tab is used for opening/closing the Pip-Boy
bTabClosesTerminals = 0

; allow use of WASD keys as arrows in menus, and E and space to accept
; Axonis: no, although it's getting better and better, I still prefer to use the defaults: arrow keys, arrow keys + shift, page up, page down, and did you know that the JIP-LN plugin allows to move an entire stack of objects by shift+click ?
bUseWASDAsArrowKeys = 1

; holding the jump button repeatedly jumps
; Axonis: YES, makes it easier to climb on peaks and besides, bJumpingCostsAP
bRepeatJumping = 1

; set the condition of the items returned from crafting (default is 80%)
; Axonis: default makes sense
fCraftedItemHealthPct = 80

; stop the "Screenshot Created" message, optionally printing the message to console instead

bNoScreenshotPopup = 1

; stop the good/bad karma messages and sounds
; Axonis: YES, but only reduce consequtive sounds, see [Karma Messages]

; stop the messages when crippling/critical hitting an enemy
; Axonis: no, I want to keep those messages as they were in the original Fallout

; remove the movement penalty while aiming
; Axonis: no, you're supposed to be moving much slower while aiming
bAimingSpeed = 0

; eliminate NPC speech distortion caused by headwear 
; Axonis: no, not without a cosmetic mod that makes helmets invisible
bNoAudioDistortion = 0

; Axonis: no, I find it very useful to zoom in/out my character and I wish I could zoom as much as I can in FO3
bNoScrollwheelPOVChange = 0

; increase the hour countdown speed while waiting or sleeping
; Axonis: no, I find the slow time pass to be more immersive than annoying
bFasterSleepWait = 0

; disallow use of the Pip-Boy during combat
; Axonis: YES, but set it to a small AP cost, see [No Pipboy In Combat]
bNoPipBoyInCombat = 1

; make jumping cost action points
; Axonis: YES, because it's set up to use a few APs instead, see [Jumping Costs AP]
bJumpingCostsAP = 1

; delay XP popups till the end of combat
; Axonis: YES, this is how it was in the original Fallout
bNoXPBarInCombat = 1

; remove the skill requirement prefix from dialog topics
; Axonis: YES, they're the worst kind of spoilers and VUI+ does remove the hardcoded color on those dialog topics for the same reason
bNoSkillTags = 1

; adds a configurable movement penalty for when the player is moving backwards or aiming
; Axonis: YES, see [Slower Backpedaling]
bMovementPenalties = 1

; enable individual hardcore features
; Axonis: no, I need them all
bHardcoreTweaks = 0

; enable running and jumping for Action Points while over-encumbered
; Axonis: no, after heavy playtesting it proved to be a nuisance (at quick drain) or a cheat (at slow drain)
bOverencumberedTweak = 0

; stop the 'Quest Failed' message showing upon failing a quest, optionally only show if the quest was started
; Axonis: no, it's used to determine game-breaking situations
bNoQuestFailedPopup = 0

; use custom icons to show whether an NPC is above or below the player
; Axonis: YES, it's a 3D game
bCompassNPCHeightIndicator = 1

; use custom icons to show whether a quest marker is above or below the player
; Axonis: no, unlike NPCs, location markers can be too far away which complicates the compass
bCompassQuestHeightIndicator = 0

; fade the compass NPC markers based on distance to the player
; Axonis: YES, an essential gameplay improvement
bCompassNPCDistanceBasedAlpha = 1

; fade the compass location markers based on distance to the player
; Axonis: no, for the same reason with bCompassQuestHeightIndicator
bCompassLocationDistanceBasedAlpha = 0

; disable the alpha effect given to markers on the right edge of compass
; Axonis: no, the alpha effect fits the vanilla HUD decorations
bDisableCompassEdgeAlpha = 0

; add an asterisk to the entrance prompt of unvisited interiors, and a plus for respawned interiors
; Axonis: no, because it would trigger my OCD reflexes; better to let sleeping dogs without an asterisk
bPatchUnseenCellName = 0

; add an AP penalty for entering VATS
; Axonis: YES, repeated VATS can be exploited for searching enemies or using stunning attacks, see [Entering VATS Costs AP]
bEnteringVATSCostsAP = 1

; use incremental save slots for autosave, optionally fullsaving every rotation
; Axonis: no, although it's great for most users, I still need the extra safeguards of my SafeAutoSave mod

; DEBUG OPTION for mod developers, adding a hotkey 'R' to load the last save from the start menu
; Axonis: I just open the load menu
bContinueGameHotkey = 0

; adds scrollwheel support when allocating skill points
; Axonis: YES, that's nice to have just as controllers allocate points by holding the button
bLevelUpScrollWheelSupport = 1

; remove the LT/RT from the pipboy texture when a controller is connected
; Axonis: YES, UI buttons are already ugly enough, no need to paint this ugliness on the textures themselves
bNoLTRTOnPipboy = 1

; stops the crosshair turning red on enemies
; Axonis: no, the color change is a nice cue for targeting
bNoRedCrosshairOnEnemies = 0

; allows opening of pipboy while the screen shakes (it will look offcentered)
; Axonis: no, because I can't be looking at my wrist right now
bAllowOpenPipboyDuringCameraShake = 0

; makes left/right movement keys cancel each other if both are held
; Axonis: YES, makes sense
bLeftAndRightCancelEachOther = 1

; fixes a bug in the Enhanced Camera mod where the player would sink into the ground when changing from first to third person
; Axonis: YES, fixes a real annoyance, and another separate plugin bites the dust
bFixEnhancedCameraGroundSinkBug = 1

; makes holding shift talk to an npc instead of pickpocketing them while sneaking
; Axonis: YES, because it's not obtrusive if you don't need it
bTalkWhileSneakingIfShiftIsHeld = 1

; add an AP penalty for performing charged unarmed attacks
; Axonis: no, melee power attacks require time and key combinations, so they are well balanced as they are
bChargedAttacksCostAP = 0

; adds hotkey 'Q' to drop the currently selected item from the PipBoy menu
; Axonis: no, right click works fine and even though Q is better, it still doesn't have a label and I have no way to detect Stewie's Tweaks at VUI+ to add it myself
bAddInventoryDropItemHotkey = 0

; skip the "Continue from your last saved game?" prompt when clicking continue game
; Axonis: YES, because I've just clicked on "Continue"
bInstantContinueButton = 1

; add a distance, beyond which quest markers are hidden
; Axonis: YES, it helps reduce clutter on the compass and the markers are always available on the Pip-Boy
bDistanceBasedQuestMarkerVisibilty = 1

; set how quickly scoped weapons zoom under [Scope Zoom]
; Axonis: no, default is fine
bUseCustomSniperZoomRate = 0

; Add hotkeys to instantly equip the crosshair and container selections
; Axonis: no, after a lot of playtesting, I've decided that I am too accustomed to the standard controls
bQuickUse = 0

; half the 500ms delay before allowing clicking in the dialogue menu
; Axonis: no, dialog can have serious consequences and has a lot of clicking, best to avoid an accidental one
bDecreasedDialogueClickDelay = 0

; hide NPC names on the prompt if they haven't spoken to the player
; Axonis: no, after a lot of testing I've concluded that such a feature would require additional support to be usable (eg. VATS still shows their names, gameplay often assumes knowledge of their names etc)
bHideUnknownNPCNames = 0

; halves all earned XP
; Axonis: no, I'm using JSUE which already rebalances XP very thoroughly
bReduceXP = 0

; adds hotkey Left Alt to instantly end the VATS killcam
; Axonis: YES, it may be useful in some cases
bVatsExitKey = 1

; don't set the current quest when completing objectives without having a quest active
; Axonis: YES, I want to choose quests myself
bDontSetQuestWhenCompletingObjectives = 1

; don't allow exiting the hacking menu if an attempt has been made
; Axonis: no, otherwise most terminals in the world should have been locked already -- although this is something that could go great with a mod that sets a long timeout for locked terminals
bNoExitHacking = 0

; holding W will continually spin the slot machine
; Axonis: no, because no other menu functions this way
bSlotsAutoSpinHotkey = 0

; use the UK keyboard layout
; Axonis: no, and I ~hate~ the UK layout which cuts the left Shift to make space for \
bUKKeyboard = 0

; holding shift allows picking a lock even if you have the key
; Axonis: YES, because I'd rather excersise my lockpicking skill when I can
bPickLocksEvenWithKey = 1

; hides the quest objective text from the main HUD
; Axonis: no, it's not really obtrusive because it only shows when you reload a game etc
bRemoveQuestObjectiveAddedText = 0

; don't save sent commands to history if they are identical to the last sent command
; Axonis: YES, makes it easier to repeat past commands
bConsoleHistoryNoStoreDuplicates = 1

; removes the Quest Added sound when a cinematic killcam plays
; Axonis: no, I'm using "Asterra's Many Fixes with Fixes For Minor Annoyances" which fixes it already, but you should enable it otherwise
bNoKillcamKillSound = 0

; disallows grabbing of owned items
; Axonis: no, grabbing may be necessary in some situations without being a cheat; the best approach would be to make merchants angry after a timeout period of grabbing their wares
bNoGrabOwnedItems = 0

; automatically skips the intro video
; Axonis: YES, according to MoerasGrizzly -- "This doesn't apply to the 'Blue Moon' intro video, but to the slideshow logos shown when the game starts up"
bSkipIntroVideo = 1

; forces first person for VATS camera shots
; Axonis: no, although this is very interesting, I'm playing almost exclusively 1st person and this is my only chance to see my character
bFirstPersonVATS = 0

; stores/restores console history to ConsoleHistory.txt
; Axonis: YES, it should be quite useful and there's already enough clutter from logs etc. to worry about another file at the base folder
bRememberConsoleHistory = 1

; allows fast travelling from indoors (you need to take care not to travel out of scripted areas)
; Axonis: no, its good for debugging though
bAllowUnsafeFastTravel = 0

; makes sneaking holdable rather than toggleable
; Axonis: no, default control is fine as it doesn't require pressing too many keys
bHoldCrouchToSneak = 0

; stops the landing animation playing
; Axonis: no, according to Stewie -- "I created it to stop the anim so you can jump and fire a weapon without it bugging out when you land. The game doesn't feel the same without the anims though."
bRemoveLandingAnim = 0

; makes fast travel cost 1 Nuka-Cola Quantum, Quartz or Victory
; Axonis: no, that's a nice idea for a dedicated mod though, and it could be expanded with water & food costs and/or Survival requirements
bFastTravelCostsSpecialNukaBottles = 0

; removes the ability to sell items in the barter menu
; Axonis: no, probably for debug ?
bDisableSellingItems = 0

; adds hotkeys 0-9 to select options in the dialog menu (recommended use with VUI+'s numbered topics setting)
; Axonis: no, although I do offer this option, I personally prefer my game's UI to be simple
bNumberedDialogHotkeys = 0

; set custom buy/sell multipliers for each item type
; Axonis: no, although this could be very useful for a trade & barter mod
bUseCustomBarterPriceMultipliers = 0

; stops dialog with NPCs being skipped automatically
; Axonis: no, but this should be very useful if you can't read the subtitles in time because it keeps a spoken line undefinitely until you click
bNoAutoContinueDialog = 0

; disables the radial blur when damaged (optionally only when in god-mode)
; Axonis: YES, but only in godmode where you don't really take any damage
bDisableHitShader = 1

; sets the max player level and disables the hard-coded +5 per DLC (do not exceed level 100)
; Axonis: no, JSawyer Ultimate does that already

; adds hotkeys shift and right mouse button to instantly display the current terminal text
; Axonis: no, I don't use hotkeys
bTerminalInstantDisplayHotkey = 0

; swap the Y and Z keys
; Axonis: no, probably useful with other key function alteration options
bSwapKeyboardYZKeys = 0

; reloading with a full clips switches ammo type
; Axonis: no, because bDoubleTapReloadToChangeAmmoType is better
bReloadingWithFullClipSwitchesAmmoType = 0

; add hotkeys to rotate the flycam camera, and increase the run speed
; Axonis: no, but I will probably revise this if I make heavy use of tfc
bBetterFlycam = 0

; allow NPCs to drop weapons on death even if they are not out
; Axonis: no, I'm not sure why this would be useful
bNPCsDropWeaponHolsteredWeapon = 0

; prevents reloading if the weapon's clip is not empty
; Axonis: no, although this would put the player with the same odds as NPCs, reloading does take time and bReloadingWithFullClipSwitchesAmmoType is more useful with this option off
bDisableReloadingNonEmptyClip = 0

; removes the grenade indicator from the HUD
; Axonis: no, I guess this is good for some grenade mods though
bDisableGrenadeIndicator = 0

; worn power armor is weightless
; Axonis: no, the strength bonus is supposed to counter the weight
bWeightlessWornPowerArmor = 0

; holding shift when taking a screenshot hides the menus
; Axonis: YES, although it still leaves the blur which makes it useful only for hiding HUD elements
bShiftScreenshotHidesMenus = 1

; allow fast travel while enemies are nearby
; Axonis: no, but I guess it may be useful for debugging
bFastTravelWithEnemiesNearby = 0

; disables the player being knocked over in godmode
; Axonis: YES, for the same reasons as with other godmode settings
bNoKnockdownInGodmode = 1

; change ammo types when reload is pressed twice in quick succession
; Axonis: YES, its much easier to use than an extra hotkey
bDoubleTapReloadToChangeAmmoType = 1

; failing a lockpick force attempt breaks a bobby pin instead of the lock
; Axonis: no, because you're supposed to be using brute force instead of lockpicks
bForceLockpickNoBreakLock = 0

; set the controller thumbstick deadzones under [Controller Deadzone]
; Axonis: no, I can't playtest it because I'm only using an emulated controller for modding
bDisableControllerDeadzones = 0

; increase controller rotation speed to half of sensitivity when looking around with POV held
; Axonis: no, same as above
bFasterControllerPOVRotate = 0

; hides the cursor while in dialog
; Axonis: YES, but only with bOnlyWhenNPCSpeaks
bHideCursorInDialog = 1

; remove the wait for the Fallout New Vegas logo to be at full alpha
; Axonis: YES, although I didn't realize there's a reduction in the wait
bFasterTitleMenu = 1

; holding shift ignores friendly NPCs when entering VATS
; Axonis: YES, won't interfere with anything and it might come in handy
bShiftIgnoresFriendlyVATS = 1

; perks to earn per level
; Axonis: no, unless you're using some alternative balancing (the default 0 doesn't change the standard perk per 2 levels)
iPerksPerLevel = 0

; disables the radial blur when an explosion occurs nearby
; Axonis: no, that's a nice effect
bDisableExplosionInFaceIMOD = 0

; modify skill points earned on levelup under [Skill Points]
; Axonis: no, see iPerksPerLevel
bModifySkillPointsEarned = 0

; removes the luck skill's effect on gambling
; Axonis: no, gambling is a big incentive for Luck
bLuckDoesntAffectGambling = 0

; removes the chem worn off screen effect
; Axonis: no, its a nice effect
bRemoveChemWarnOffIMOD = 0

; allows scrollwheel to zoom while using a scope
; Axonis: YES, but only for Binoculars as it would make scoped weapons too powerful, see bBinocularsOnly
bAdjustableScopeZoom = 1

; stops popup menus moving the mouse to the center of the screen
; Axonis: no, the auto-centering is very useful in the quantity menu
bPopupMenusDontMoveCursor = 0

; pressing the iTogglePipboyLight key while aiming with a night vision weapon toggles the night vision effect
; Axonis: YES, it just makes sense 
bAddNightVisionToggle = 1

; holding shift decreases scope wobble at the cost of Action Points
; Axonis: no, wobble is meant to be a weapon penalty no need to nerf it with another mechanism
bScopeHoldBreath = 0

; wearing power armor scales fall damage (see [Power Armor])
; Axonis: no, because I don't know how a metal suit would affect falling damage
bPowerArmorScalesFallDamage = 0

; NPC and player movement speed is scaled by their agility
; Axonis: YES, it improves the tokenization of agility and movement penalties, see fAgilityMovementSpeedMult and bMovementPenalties
bAgilityScalesMovementSpeed = 1

; disables zooming when aiming with non-scoped weapons
; Axonis: no, the vanilla non-scoped zoom is small enough and feels realistic
bDisableWeaponFOV = 0

; stops the container category titles being capitalised
; Axonis: YES, because it matches the letter case of the container name (also see sInventoryItems and sInventoryAmmo)
bNoCapitaliseContainerCategories = 1

; automatically unequip armor when it breaks
; Axonis: YES, sounds realistic and matches broken weapon behavior
bUnequipBrokenArmor = 1

; don't allow equipping of weapons without the required strength and skill
; Axonis: no, it can be cheated with a temporary effect to allow the weapon to be used indefinitely until un-equipped
bWeaponRequirementsMatter = 0

; disables sneak attack criticals
; Axonis: no, although it could be interesting with bSneakAttackWithoutCrouching
bNoSneakAttacksCriticals = 0

; allow sneak attacks on enemies if you're undetected but not sneaking
; Axonis: YES, bludgeoning an enemy from the back and then resume crouching doesn't make sense
bSneakAttackWithoutCrouching = 1

; removes the tips from the loading screens
; Axonis: no, in fact I consider writing a small plugin with rewritten tips for the changes here
bDisableLoadingScreenTips = 0

; disables the killcam for companion kills
; Axonis: YES, no more annoying random killcams
bDisableCompanionKillcam = 1

; automatically pause the game when a save is loaded
; Axonis: no, but it might be useful when a save is bloated
bPauseOnSaveLoad = 0

; removes fog from interiors
; Axonis: no, I see it as dust which I think makes sense
bDisableInteriorFog = 0

; improves various aspects of the Hacking minigame
; Axonis: YES, prevents erroneous clicks on single characters, prevents re-guessing words, always removes duds when allowance is full etc
bImprovedHacking = 1

; add the name of the required key to the end of the "sImpossibleLock" message
; Axonis: no, it can be a spoiler and I didn't like the message "It requires a key to open. Brotherhood safehouse key"
bLockNeedsKeyShowName = 0

; make the AP and HP bars visible while scoped
; Axonis: no, I'm supposed to be focusing 100% on the view and nothing else; that's also the feeling I'm having when using a real scope
bScopeVisibleAPHP = 0

; add a 3s delay after combat before the LevelUp menu will show
; Axonis: YES, this can be useful to allow some events to properly kick in-between
bDelayPostCombatLevelUp = 1

; stops the grabbed item being dropped when jumping
; Axonis: YES, it just makes sense and makes grabbing more useful
bJumpingDoesntDropGrabbedItem = 1

; Axonis: no, this disables the Map Marker Added *message* which is pretty useful with bDescriptiveMarkerAddedMessage (thanks Stewie for the clarification)
bNoMapMarkerAddedPopup = 0

; prevents the player being selected when clicking in console
; Axonis: YES, this is very useful -- the player often gets in the way
bNonSelectablePlayerInConsole = 1

; adds extra information when a ref is selected in the console
; Axonis: YES, the info is at the reference's title and I'd like to see even more (eg. base id and editor id)
bExtraConsoleDetails = 1

; print vanilla debug errors to console
; Axonis: no, most of it was just a boot log cluttering the console; such information is useful in logfiles only
bPrintErrorsToConsole = 0

; hide quest items in the misc PipBoy page
; Axonis:no, although it does de-clutter the Misc items, it also prevents me from knowing if I got an item or not (and some quest items have nice icons)
bHideMiscQuestItems = 0

; alters the pickpocket formula to take into account item weight, target perception and detection value
; Axonis: YES, see [Pickpocket Overhaul]
bPickpocketOverhaul = 1

; prevents the leg crippled sound in godmode
; Axonis: YES, because you aren't taking any damage really

; Axonis: no, because you don't get XP when you craft items
bRepairsRewardXP = 0

; earn Action Points when killing outside of VATS
; Axonis: no, although it would be a nice perk
bKillsRewardAP = 0

; prevent the hotkey wheel showing when holding a hotkey
; Axonis: no, why hold the key if you don't want to see the hotkeys matrix at the HUD ?
bNoHUDHotkeyPopup = 0

; prevent firing if you don't have enough ammo for one burst
; Axonis: no, a magazine doesn't have to be fully loaded to feed a gun
bClipSizeMatters = 0

; show interior cell names in the HUD region text where the 'Mojave Wasteland' text is
; Axonis: YES, its practically a fix
bHUDShowRegionNames = 1

; don't reward XP for companion kills
; Axonis: YES, again a fix
bNoCompanionKillXP = 1

; prevents AP regeneration while overencumbered
; Axonis: no, it didn't make the game more fun; being forced to walk while encumbered is enough

bLocalMapRespawnedCellIndicator = 0

bNoPlaceMarkerPopup = 1

; show the value and weight for a whole stack of items while looting and indicate the weight in red if it would overencumber you
; Axonis: YES, this is an improvement of the great Better Pickup Prompt by Ladez [from Unnecessary Tweaks by TrueCourierSix]
;- If you pick up a stack of items, Weight and Value are multiplied by the number of items in it
;- If an item is going to over-encumber you, Weight is displayed in red

bSlowBreathRegen = 0

; show the scroll menu when clicking on a note in the PipBoy
; Axonis: no, although this looks great with Stewie's Book menu (www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/67278) it's just more immersive to show notes at the Pip-Boy where they are stored (but I would prefer to read books at Misc Items using the Book Menu)

; don't reset the bet amount to 1 after playing roulette
; Axonis: YES, and thanks Stewie for that
bKeepRouletteBetAmount = 0

Shouldn't this be a 1 ?

@TDarkShadow - You're right. Thanks!

Thank you for the great comments and insight aswell 👍

; holding shift ignores friendly NPCs when entering VATS
; Axonis: YES, won't interfere with anything and it might come in handy
bShiftIgnoresFriendlyVATS = 0

On line 588, shouldn't this be enabled then, as per your comment?

@TDarkShadow - You're quoting bShiftIgnoresFriendlyVATS = 0 which is actually 1 on the latest version. You're probably asking about line 598 whose comment must be clarified.

On Line #922
Your understanding of the tweak is incorrect, and it was not included in Unnecessary Tweaks.
bNoMapMarkerAddedPopup prevents the "Map marker added" corner message that occurs when an NPC adds a location to your PipBoy (the setting should have probably been named "Message" instead of "Popup"). You probably want to leave this disabled, especially seeing as you have bDescriptiveMarkerAddedMessage enabled.

@lStewieAl - Thanks for the pointer!

Your ini has a few settings that have been removed/renamed.
bActivateButtonGrabs - removed as I was unhappy with the implementation
bAddDisableCollisionKey - moved to [Hotkeys]
bAddRepeatActivateHotkey - moved to [Hotkeys]
bRemoveHelpButton - moved to [Hotkeys]
bUseCustomHotkeys - removed because MCM didn't support it
fMaxScopeFOVMult - renamed to fMaxFOVMult
fMinScopeFOVMult - renamed to fMinFOVMult

The [Disable Collision], [Toggle Pipboy Light] and [Repeated Activate] sections (redundant with the [Hotkeys] section.
The [Compass Alpha] section (redundant as the setting is now calculated using the same value the game uses).

@lStewieAl - Great, I'll clean them up. It also seems that I had misunderstood bAddRepeatActivateHotkey.

'bNoReputationMessages'
I personally like it enabled, along with further customization in the [Reputation] section.
Specifically, I have my settings like this:

; prevent the popup menus
bHidePopups = 0
; I keep this disabled so the popups aren't simply hidden period, but instead obey the other settings in this section

; prevent the top left corner messages when gaining reputation
bHideGainMessages = 0
; I like to know whenever I gain reputation for whatever reason, even if I'm at max already and it doesn't actually affect it

; prevent the top left corner messages when losing reputation
bHideLossMessages = 1
; Just so it obeys the following scripted section

; prevent loss popup and message only if already at the min reputation and if the change was not from a script command
bHideNonScriptedLossesIfAtMin = 1
; I don't need to see that I lost legion reputation for the millionth time after I kill a death squad when I'm already vilified, but I am still interested to know if anything I do specifically is something they dislike, I,E is done via script function from a quest or something.
; To be clear, the message will still show for anything UNTIL you reach minimum reputation, then it'll stop warning you each and every time.

; prevent gain popup and message only if already at the max reputation and if the change was not from a script command
bHideNonScriptedGainsIfAtMax = 0
; Reputation gains are nearly always done via scripted functions anyway, but since it's less common to get them, I like to let them show up whenever still.

Also, I believe you intended to enable 'bDontSetQuestWhenObjectivesAdded', judging by your comment on it.

@DarianLStephens - Thank you, your suggestions will be included in the next version.

I found out from Stewie recently that bCacheQuestAndNoteMenu includes Deselect Quests, so bDeselectQuests is basically redundant.

There is no difference if you keep bDeselectQuests enabled too.

; always use the first person sound when attempting to fire with an empty clip
; Axonis: YES, even though I always use 1st person in combat, I think it should be useful for those who don't
bUseFirstPersonEmptyClipSound = 0

Looks like this setting should be 1 ?

bUseFirstPersonEmptyClipSound = 0

Looks like this setting should be 1 ?

Yes, on the next version.

; delay the reputation change popup dialog till after combat
; Axonis: YES, although I thought it was this way already ?
bDelayPostCombatReputationPopup = 1

Whoops, it delays till 3s after combat instead of immediately after combat.

bDelayPostCombatReputationPopup = 1
Whoops, it delays till 3s after combat instead of immediately after combat.

No problem, I've quoted that in the new version.
