The mutants are good. Just get the TTW mod that rebalances them to be less beefy.

I have that on, they're still incredibly beefy.

It's not even the individual mutants, it's the fact that there's at least a half dozen of them whenever you find mutants.

while it's an okay concept, it's gonna be amazingly poorly implemented and balanced though and we'll need FPERG to make it closer to a balanced layout

"Children are reaching puberty and sexually maturing earlier and earlier; in cases of precocious puberty--even younger. In the 1800's, the average child reached puberty by 14. By the 1900's, the age dropped to 12.75 years. If we continue along this trajectory, children would be achieving sexual maturity at a median age of 8.5 when Fallout 3 takes place.

"Now, in Little Lamplight, MacReady tells us that children germinate into Mungos and are summarily excised from the town at the age of 16. That means that the average Little Lamplight citizen has almost eight years to reproduce before being ostracized to 'Big Town'. Think about that: Literally half of their life in Little Lamplight is in estrus.

Yeah, the more I think about it the Fallout 3/NV skill system wasn't that great, it tried to be a compromise between Fallout 1/2's more complex system and a more do-anything open world sandbox style, and ended up just sort of mediocre. I really hope they watch that video with the proposed Cowboy / Gun Nut perk system and say "hey, let's just do that," rather then doing Skyrim-style skill trees. I'm really not up for another round of melting down every piece of metal I can find just to grind my crafting score.

Nuebot: Feb 18, 2013; The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money

Regarding skills, I think one of Bethesda's problems is that they really don't seem to like including things the player can lock themselves out of. Whether it's story content because you shoot an NPC, guilds because you're a warrior who doesn't know magic, or factions, because you kill all the legion soldiers you see. Bethesda RPGs from Oblivion onwards really seem to be about about doing every possible thing without ever having to worry about consequences. Even in skyrim there are very few quest rewards you can lock yourself out of if you don't mind stealing or murdering and as someone pointed out earlier in Fallout 3, the skill system is set up so it's incredibly easy to get 100 in every skill and even max out your SPECIAL with a tiny bit of planning.

I would have loved to see how that played out past the game's conclusion. By the end, I'm fairly certain your soul is claimed by at least three or four different deities if you've done everything. Made no sense at all.

With a level cap of 50, yes, but intelligence has to be fairly high, and it's probably going to require finding all the skill books depending on how many perks you want to blow.

Keep in mind, the level cap in 3 was only 30 with all the DLC (Since it started at 20 and the only one that raised the cap was Broken Steel IIRC), so if you didn't have max intelligence it'd probably be a bit more difficult. That being said, it was pretty trivial to max out the skills that you'd actually care about (Lockpick, Science, Speech, and a combat skill) so long as you had decent INT and remembered to grab the bobbleheads.

it really wasn't. it had a problem where a lot of people trying to max out every skill would end up doing so before the level cap and get stuck at the skill selection screen since you had to spend your points (that you couldn't spend) before moving onto the perk screen.

JackBadass posted:

there's a perk that raises each SPECIAL up to 9

There were bobbleheads for both skills and SPECIAL. SPECIAL bobbleheads added one point in their respective trait (So you could max out your stats by taking the level 30 perk "Almost Perfect" and then finding all the bobbleheads), skill bobbleheads raised their respective skills by 15 points each (Which taken all together is 185 free skill points, or about twenty levels with average-moderate intelligence)

What perk is that? I don't remember anything like that, unless you're talking about intense training.
