In the spreadsheet you'll find an...lets call it abridged ;)...version of my perk list

 

for everyones convenience I've highlighted the boxes where I need something added

feel free to give comments on the non-highlighted areas also but those aren't highlighted because I like them :P

 

now what I'm going for here is to substantially diversify the perk list for greater character customization and to utilize some of the horrendously overlooked (imho) aspects of game-play (such as karma and radiation)

 

so if you have any ideas for other perks you think are exceptional and or brilliant feel free to toss those out too

 

If I end up using your idea I'll give you proper credit (if I ever finish this x_x)

 

oh and the 'progression' lists are set up in tiers so you'll need the lower tier perks to unlock the higher ones

 

*edit*

I'm also on the lookout for some more vault boy perk picture thingies.dds so if you're artistic or know of any that have already been made...

Lesee here...

 

(For Thick Skinned writeup)

Death by poisoning is for pansies and royalty; both of which are in small supply nowadays. Your body does not reject poison, so much as beat it with a pool cue and leave it quivering in a ditch somewhere outside Springvale.

 

(For the Evil Mysterious Stranger perk)

Devil's Advocate: Your black soul has attracted the attention of a few...influential...individuals. With this perk, you may occasionally be sent a minion to aid in V.A.T.S. mode. The more vile your actions, the better chance of being considered worthy.

 

And if you can't get a Deathclaw to show up for the Evil Stranger, he should totally be dressed up in a black italian mobster suit. Maybe even have incredibly beady eyes, a large fixed smile, and a strange name like "Mr. Welldone."

 

(For perk that increases the crit chance of automatic weapons)

Cry Some More: You love any type of weapon that can dispense a hail of metal death. You have grown so accustomed to the ways of automatic gunfire that you can almost subconsiously direct the spray to hit vulnerable parts of your foe; increasing your critical chance with all automatic weaponry.

 

Also, if you get the Karma Strangers to work, I'd love the ability to download them in a separate pack to complement the original one without further modifications. It'd be awesome to have Vanilla Stranger and a Karma Stranger on the same character.

yeah thats a good idea now that you mention it

will probably separate traits, karma based perks, rad based perks, and regulars into their own mods and then maybe one whopper

 

oh and lol at the beating with pool cues thats a good one

 

*Edit*

it turns out, due to some utter lameness, that karma strangers can't work

but spawning minions outside of vats is still viable...I just didn't want to have to resort to that

was slightly derailed on the stranger issue but with some help got back on track

 

version 1.0 is up if anybody wants to try it out (karma perks only)

How did you sort it out?

As far as I know, the Mysterious Stranger is a hard coded entry point.

[cscottydont]

yup it sure is which was a big problem for a while

I stuck a script on the Stranger that, based on what perk the player has, will place a new actor, set the stranger unconscious, and cast 100% stealth on the stranger

 

I also had to alter the vats MystStrangerCams which slightly detracts from Stranger appearances

but since they're tied to the Stranger, there really wasn't much else to do

[Callighan]

That's ingenious and quite creative of you.

I'm excited to see that work in game.

[cscottydont]

lol thanks but I can't take credit for the idea :P

 

it was rather ingenious and imho when it happens in game is totally badass :)
