📋 About This Mod
Description
DC has the same number of books that Fallout 3 had, which allows you to raise all skills by 100 if you have Comprehension and find all books (including NV). It's not good for passing both Wastelands.
Vanilla NV - 5-8 books per skill (+3 to per book, it's +15-24 for each skill (+20-32 with Comprehension).
TTW 3. 3. 2 - 30-36 books per skill (+1 to per book, it's +30-36 for each skill (+60-70 with Comprehension).
My version - 12 books per skill (+2 to per book, it's +24 for each skill (+36 with Comprehension).
Number of books in NV - vanilla, redundant books were removed only in DC.
