📋 About This Mod
Name: FO3 Perks Pack Author: Trueform Version: 1. 0 Date: 12/11/2010 Cateogry: Gameplay Effects & Changes Link: None Homepage: None =============== Description: =============== An addition to my slowly-growing series of adding Fallout 3 content to New Vegas, this mod adds a few perks that I liked which were removed from NV. Although apparently Obsidian Entertainment took out some of these perks because they allegedly thought it was too easy to max out your stats in Fallout 3, I disagree and enjoyed these perks - so here they are in New Vegas form. Here are the additions: Medical Prodigy Ranks: 3 Description: NV Version of Daddy\'s Boy/Girl. Increases your Science and Medical skills by 5 points perk rank. Requirements: Lv. 2, Intelligence 4+ Gun Nut Ranks: 3 Description: Increases your Guns and Repair skills by 5 points per rank. Requirements: Lv. 2, Agility 4+ Iron Fist Ranks: 3 Description: Increases your Unarmed skill by 5 points per rank. Requirements: Lv. 4, Strength 4+ Little Leaguer Ranks: 3 Description: Increases your Melee and Explosives skills by 5 points per rank. Requirements: Lv. 2, Strength +4 Scoundrel Ranks: 3 Description: Increases your Speech and Barter skills by 5 points per rank. Requirements: Lv. 4, Charisma 4+ Thief Ranks: 3 Description: Increases your Sneak and Lockpick skills by 5 points per rank. Requirements: Lv. 4, Perception 4+, Agility 4+ Impartial Mediation Ranks: 1 Description: Gives you 30 points to speech as long as you have neutral karma. Requirements: Lv. 8, Charisma 5+ Master Trader Ranks: 1 Description: Reduces the prices of items from every vendor by 25%. Requirements: Lv. 15, Barter 60+. Charisma 6+ Cyborg Ranks: 1 Description: Changed slightly to make it more NV friendly, it retains the same 10% resistance to poison and radiation, 10 to the Energy Weapons skill and changes the damage resistance to a +3 Damage Threshold. I really loved this perk in FO3 and added a nice combat reward to having a high medicine and science skill. Grim Reaper\'s Sprint: Description: Although this skill is already in NV, I was very disappointed when I took it (without reading the description, damn it!) and found out it only restores 20 AP when you kill an enemy in VATS. The only reason I ever took this perk was for the full AP refill, so I changed the perk effect to mirror Fallout 3\'s. EDIT: The FO3 Alt optional file is the same as the main file, the only exception being Grim Reaper\'s Sprint remains unchanged from NV vanilla. Thank you to wildyracing for the suggestion :) IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Modders put a lot of time and effort into making new content for games, so if you like files, please endorse them. It only takes a moment, it shows appreciation for the work, and it\'s the best way a modder can know at a glance if they are successful in their endeavors; if people don\'t endorse a mod they like, I myself always assume that it isn\'t we
