low intelligence critical failures

[TheBlob2]

a mod that adds critical failures with low intelligence. like having low intelligence would lower a person's ability to perform basic tasks, and would cause critical failures

Maybe forgetting how to chew and your character starts choking?

Or messing up crafting an item or ammo?

 

What kind of "critical failure" did you have in mind?

Could be interesting but potentially very frustrating too after it happens after so many times.

Like a merchant tricking you into paying for something you already bought, or NPCs generally taking advantage of your stupidity. Or being unable to read, or having reading comprehension so bad that reading a skill book or a magazine actually LOWERS a stat instead of enhancing it, or maybe being so stupid that you are incapable of reading at all, like terminals are inaccessible and notes that would normally just be able to pick up and read look like gibberish in your pip-boy. Or random instances where a certain level of mental concentration is required, like picking a lock or deactivating an explosive would fail due to your short attention span. Or randomly when having a conversation with an NPC there is a small chance your character will forget what the conversation was about and exit the dialog menu. Or when picking up items or looting containers outside of combat, there is a very small chance that your character will randomly drop the item within 10 seconds of you picking it up (if it is not equipped), like you forgot to pick it up. Or there is a random chance that your compass goes bad and starts pointing in a direction that you are not actually facing, like your character's sense of direction just died
