Description

===========

Adds all 20 Bobbleheads from Fallout 3 to New Vegas, plus a new Survival Bobblehead from Brumbek. They are all hidden in "logical" locations related to the attribute or skill they increase. The SPECIAL Bobbleheads do not grant +1 attribute anymore; each provides a perk with some minor bonuses. The bonuses are helpful but should not be overly unbalancing. Finding all seven will consolidate everything into one perk and grant one additional bonus.

The Skill Bobbleheads all grant +4 to their skill, except Big Guns and Small Guns which each give +2 Guns. Finding all fourteen skill Bobbleheads will grant 1 additional point to all skills. Finding all twenty-one Bobbleheads will give a one-time bonus of 2000 caps.

Three Bobblehead Display Stands have been added. One is in the Goodsprings Schoolhouse, another in the Novac Motel Room, and a 3rd in the Lucky 38 Suite. Activating any stand for the first time will add a note to your Pip-Boy with the hints/riddles for the Bobblehead locations. If you would like a stand in an additional location, please leave a comment or send a message. Additional locations may be supported if enough people ask for them to be supported.

Bobbleheads cannot be removed from Bobblehead stands once they are placed, at the moment, but placing a Bobblehead on one stand will place the same Bobblehead on all stands. If you have already placed Bobbleheads on a stand in a version before 1. 15, activating that stand will place them on the other stands.

In version 1. 20 and beyond, Bobblehead placement is now randomly varied. There are currently 10 potential locations for each Bobblehead. In all but one case 5 of the 10 Bobbleheads are in the same general area while the other five are in five different locations.

SPECIAL Bobblehead Perks are listed below.

Strength = +3 Melee/Unarmed Damage, +5 Carry Weight

Perception = +5% Accuracy, -5% Gun Spread

Endurance = +5 Health, +1 DT

Charisma = 5% Store Discount

Intelligence = +3 Science, +2 Repair, +1 Medicine, +1% Experience Gain

Agility = +5% Melee/Unarmed Attack Speed, +5% Run Speed, +5 AP

Luck = +1% Crit Chance, -1% Enemy Crit Chance

All 7 Bonus = +1% Damage Resistance, +3% Fire/Radiation/Poison Resistance

Finding all 21 Bobbleheads will earn you 2000 caps.

The Bobbleheads are somewhat hidden, enough so that you may miss them with a quick glance, but not so hidden that you should need to search for extended periods of time in
