📋 About This Mod
A Crime Against Nature
Converts cannibalism into a skill which must be mastered, and which can be taught to one's companions.
"With the Cannibal perk, when you're in Sneak mode, you gain the option to eat a corpse to regain Health. But every time you feed, you lose Karma, and if the act is witnessed, it is considered a crime against nature."
