📋 About This Mod

Take Both lets you do exactly what it says, take both perks instead of choosing just one! If you're like me and have a hard time picking, this mod removes the choice altogether! If you "choose a perk" the game automatically gives you the other one!

This mod is also compatible with old save games, when you load a save and when a hero is created, the game will add all previously taken perks alternative perk to all heroes (or the hero that was created). This also means lords/companions get them too.

Feature rundown:

- Player and companions gets alternate perk when taking a perk!

- Save game compatible! When you load your save, you will automatically take all the alternate perks of perks you have taken, a pretty confusing sentence, huh?

- MCM Menu to choose who benefits from taking both perks!

This mod is compatible with e1. 7. 0, e1. 7. 1, e1. 7. 2, e1. 8. 0, 1. 0.x, 1. 1.x, and 1. 2.x. It will probably be compatible with all future versions as well.

It is compatible with all other mods as far as I know.

NOTE: This may not be super balanced, but it shouldn't be OP either.
