Companion nerve?

[miguick]

So there's mention in the loading screens and wiki about how in NV your charisma affects a "nerve" statistic, but I have no idea where does that 5% per point to "damage and armor" comes from or how it's implemented. I was thinking game settings, but the filter does not throw anything relevant for "comp", "nerve", or "team" that I have noticed. I haven't exactly looked far and wide for previous info about this one, but I think I'll probably stumble on the same puzzler as MadCat did before me.

 

Still, I thought I might as well try to post this here in case any of you have any ideas. I suppose the next step is to test the companions' own damage output and input under different charisma values, but setting up a proper testing environment is such a PITA...

This is something I've tried to investigate with others before, but this was apparently on the the Wiki the entire time:

 

 

 

Viewing the engine level code of Fallout: New Vegas, Nerve has been completely disabled at some point in a prior patch. The remnants of the Nerve mechanic can still be found, such as 0x9B5B82, 0x9B5CCD, 0x9B55E9, 0x645006, and several others, but have been called out. It is likely that Companion Suite is the replacement for the Nerve mechanic.

 

Unless I'm misunderstanding, Apparently it was an engine side thing, which would explain why no traces of it can be found in the geck.

 

However, even the Companion Suite is not doing everything it's supposed to do as described in its description, nor is it influenced by Charisma in any way.

 

On top of that, I don't know if it's a problem with my game, but it's not even being added to my companions for some reason, even with all of my plugins disabled. I've checked the scripts and they *should* be added, but they're not.(You can check in your game with Hasperk 15c571)
