Strong Back Perk - Survival Tweak

[Thoryon]

Heyho,

 

while playing survival difficulty, I realized the fourth level of the perk "Strong Back" says "When overemcumbered, you can fast travel." which for survival difficulty translates into "You are wasting a point taking this.".

 

Since Overencumberance damages the player on survival difficulty, my idea is to change the level four "Strong Back" perk into "When overencumbered, you no longer take damage." or at least "less damage".

 

Sadly I have no clue as to how to make this into a mod.

 

Maybe someone out there regards this as a good idea and has the required skill to create this mod. :)

 

Thanks for your time.

"No damage" would be fine. I think "can fast travel" should translate to "could theoretically slow travel without any ill effects".

 

I also wanted to say that it makes sense if you have a mod like Journey, which allows you to fast travel along supply lines, but since that only works from areas with workshops where you can offload all the stuff you carry, it's still quite pointless.

That perk is actually still useful on Survival difficulty if you choose to side with the institute. As the teleportation is a means of fast travel.

So it is not completely useless, I see. It has a reason to exist as it is then.

 

Also I found out, doing a little research into this, the damage caused by being overencumbered is limb damage to the legs which means it can be countered by the perk "Adamantium Skeleton".

 

Realistically there is no reason to create this mod after all. :P

My character has the adamantium skeleton and over-encumbrance still broke her legs... I was very confused.

Maybe it wasn't damage to her skeleton but muscular failure?
