Classic Skill Point Overhaul

Changes the skill point growth formula and base values to something more like Fallout 1. In Fallout 3 you tend to max out way too quickly, and this should definitely slow you down. Features: -Formula changes. In Fallout 1, your skill points upon levelling are dependant on 5 + (2 Intelligence) However, it also had skills that went up to 200 and 5 more skills to choose from. This mod changes the formula to (3 + Intelligence) 0. 70 Needless to say, Intelligence affects growth much more than in Vanilla. -Tagged skills get a starting boost of 10, and then recieve double the growth per skill point. -Skill Base changed. In Fallout 1, different skills had higher or lower starting points to smooth things out and make so-called \"lower\" skills more enticing. Fallout 3 did not. Now you will see many changes such as Unarmed getting a sizeable boost and Big Guns starting off much lower. These boosts are dependant on multipliers with SPECIAL attributes, making once-bunk stats like Charisma somewhat more useful for developing a diplomatic character. With all of these changes, discounting perks, books, and bobbleheads it will take a player over 100 levels to max out their character. However, maxing out your tagged skills at least is still incredibly reasonable within the lvl 20 overhead. ========== To Install ========== Put it in Fallout 3/Data and then check it in Fallout Mod Manager. If you don\'t have that, download it! There will be conflicts with any other mod, such as giant overhauls, that screw with the same variables. I recommend placing this as low as possible in your load order list. ================= Traits and Perks ================= Closer to Classics - Traits and Perks is NOT a mod made by me. It\'s made by Alexander Strahan, but I rebalanced its values to interact better with my mod. You can find his unaltered mod here: http://fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2686 See the included readme for more details on its changes.
