________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Continuing the work from a previous version of this mod, this mod changes nearly all the perks and traits from Tale of Two Wastelands to make it an RPG that encourages you to specialize your character and allocate your stats in a way that suits the type of character you want to play, rather than following a "meta" and checking boxes for making the most powerful character possible. I did this by constantly reflecting on a little concept called "opportunity cost." Basically, if I choose to allocate my character's stats a certain way, what would I lose and what would I gain compared to a character with different stats? With this mod installed, there are S. P. E. C. I. A. L. requirements when selecting traits, and perk requirements are directly reflective of how powerful they are. Perks at low levels have lower requirements and are relatively uninteresting and straightforward compared to high level perks with high requirements and exciting or game-changing new abilities.

While some perks have been nerfed by either having higher requirements or making their effects less powerful (you can no longer knock over Deathclaws with a switchblade at Level 8), I have done my best to make sure I avoided nerfing perks and instead buffed or reworked the bad perks. This way, players can choose how difficult their game is by adding difficulty mods, but not feel disheartened when one of their favorite perks has been nerfed to the ground. There are also a roughly equal amount of perks available for each S. P. E. C. I. A. L. stat and skill, meaning that no matter how you choose to allocate your stats, as long
