    Missing the only one i knew about, Skilled from New Vegas: Old World Blues
    From the wiki: if Skilled is removed while leaving Goodsprings for the first time, then selecting the Rebuild Character option, and creating a character that is the exact same as your current one with the exception of the removal of the Skilled trait, you will retain the +5 to all skills and lose the -10% XP reduction.

    Don't forget the ghoul ecology perk from fallout 3 point lookout DLC. Instead of adding 5% damage against ghouls, it instead adds a flat 5 damage to all your weapons which is overpowered for shotguns since it adds +5 damage to every pellet. So if the shotgun has 8 pellets, that's already a bonus of 40 damage per shot.

      Reminds me of a bug from battlefield 3 where if you put an underslung shotgun on your gun, each pellet would do the damage of a single bullet from the gun it was attached to so people would put it on a g3 (the assault rifle with the highest amount of damage in the game), join a metro 24/7 server, and go wild

    The one I know of is Blitz, which lets you see NPC interaction prompts ("E" to talk or pickpocket) even when they’re not nearby. For example, if there’s a raider in the BADTFL Police Station and you're walking near Concord, the prompt "Raider 'E' to talk" will appear on screen. This can let you attack enemies or pickpocket hostile/friendly NPCs without realizing

    Let’s not forget that the entire game of fallout 76 was basically a bug at release. The fact that bethesda eventually made it a decent to good game is admirable but it seems to have been a harbinger of things to come. Here’s hoping they turn things around with elder scrolls 6 and future fallout games.

    The main issue with pain train is that it hits non hostile NPCs making it so you pretty much can't sprint in power armor in populated areas like the institute, the prydwen or diamond city. I took it after completing a Brotherhood quest at the prydwen, started to run back out and hit an initiate which made the entire prydwen aggro me. The cherry on top is you don't even have the option to cancel the aggro like you can by putting your weapon away in the situation of accidental friendly fire. It's a cool idea but basically a useless perk. They should have just made it like a special melee attack that you have to activate instead of a passive ability that doesn't work half the time

    • @N_orte
      @N_orte  8 днів тому +2

      @HappyBeezerStudios 6 днів тому +1

      Similar with power armor impact landing. Imagine jumping off the prydwen (because you can in power armor), using the jetpack to already move towards leaving the area, only to land between the BoS people down there, aggroing all of them.

      There is a PC mod that deals 1 damage in a radius to let you gain XP from all kills in a radius, though. For vanilla, i've never used it, but do Tesla Coils or anything similar for Power Armour/Automatrons damage neutral NPCs?

    One thing to add about how the companion perks interact with regular perks in FO4 is that the order in which you obtain them really matters! It is possible to unknowingly nerf yourself by taking one perk before the other.
    For instance, the 'Sniper' perk and the 'Killshot' companion perk will not work as intended if you take both, as the additional headshot accuracy in VATS will only ever be a +25% bonus, not the intended +45%...
    Also, the last rank of 'Hacker' will grant you an additional chance to unlock a terminal and will not allow Nick Valentine's companion perk to work as intended since the maximum chances the gane lets you have is 5, not 6.

I remember finding Dogmeat in that game, and he would straight up die every time I got into a battle because he can only bite enemies, and being not essential with low HP means that he wouldn't survive enemies with firearms.

      Perhaps. Or just the nature of patching. NV and 3 were made at a time when your console didn’t need to be permanently connected to the internet. This made pushing out patches more difficult than today where you can’t even play the game unless it’s been updated to the latest update.

      It is what it is. I think the big thing is the nature of game updates when NV and 4 were released. You didn’t need an internet connection to play NV, making it harder to push out consistent patches. With FO4, it was made at a time when digital downloads and having permanently online consoles was the norm. It was easier to push out patches.
