Character Traits

Character Traits v. 0. 1. 1 Readme File ========================= This mod attempts to bring Traits back to Fallout by adding 60 perks to the game, most of which are chosen during character generation. This mod is best played with a new game, so that most of the Traits can be used. I have included my QuickStart.esp file for use with this mod so that players can start a New Game without having to deal with the childhood sequences. Some of the character traits require the use of Caiman\'s must-have \"nochilduse removed\" mod, which I have included in this archive. You can get the latest version at his file entry here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1817 I would also like to thank xpiratosx for his upload of the classic Fallout Pip Boy icons, here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2147 Give them lots of kudos, folks! =============\\ Where it Goes: =============/ To install this mod, simply extract the archive to your \"\\Fallout 3\\Data\" folder. Let it overwrite if it wants to. Then activate \"CharacterTraits.esp\" in the Data Files section of your favorite Fallout 3 launcher, as well as \"nochilduse.esp\", and start the game. If you are using Operation Anchorage, use the CharacterTraits Anchorage Compatible.esp instead. If you want to start a new game quickly and skip most of the CG scenes at the start of the game, activate \"QuickStart.esp\" as well. Also, make sure your Fallout.ini file contains the line: bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 This file should be located in My Documents\\My Games\\Fallout 3\\. Otherwise, the Perk graphics may not show up properly. =============\\ What it Does: =============/ This mod adds 60 new Perks intended to enhance roleplaying. Most of these are considered Traits in the classic Fallout sense - they each give a benefit, and they each have their drawbacks. Some of the new traits can have a huge impact on gameplay. This mod is therefore not indicated for a first play-through, but rather, it exists to add to Fallout 3\'s replayability. ===================\\ How To Use This Mod: ===================/ A player starting a new game will discover that they have a Terminal called My Computer sitting on the desk in their room. Accessing this terminal will bring up a menu containing a myriad of character traits. The player selects a trait by using the terminal to select the trait and agreeing that the trait describes him or her. The trait can then be removed by denying that the trait describes him or her. The whole process is actually very much more intuitive and less complicated than it sounds here. Certain traits will cancel others out. For example, a person cannot be a Giant and a Tiny Person at the same time. A person cannot be both Agoraphobic and Claustrophobic (I can\'t imagine such a nightmarish existence). The terminal will remain available until the player leaves Vault 101. That way, the Traits can be change
