Fallout: New Vegas Perks Fallout: New Vegas perks This page lists all perks in Fallout: New Vegas. The content is not described in full detail on this page. For details, please see the respective articles. For perks in other Fallout games, please see "Perk". For an overview of Fallout: New Vegas content, please refer to "Portal:Fallout: New Vegas". Contents General information Unlike in Fallout 3, the Perk Rate in Fallout: New Vegas is one perk every two levels. To counter how easy it was to max out the player's skills in Fallout 3, most of the skill- boosting perks have been removed or replaced. There are 88 regular perks, 8 companion perks, 16 challenge perks, and an unknown amount of special perks. Only regular perks may be selected during level up. Other types of perks are granted through completing various tasks, and do not count against the limit of regular perks. You can get up to a total of 25 non-challenge perks with all 4 DLCs installed. Companion perks, as their name suggests, are granted by the player's companions. For example, Enhanced Sensors is only in effect while the Courier is accompanied by ED-E. The perk remains in effect so long as the companion is currently following the player. Unless the companion is dismissed, the perk will remain in effect regardless of the distance between the player and their companions. Companions told to wait are still counted as active companions. Challenge perks are unlocked by fulfilling certain requirements. Challenge tasks can be accessed from the Pip-Boy menu; on the 'Misc.' page, accessible from the 'Data' section. Most of the perks obtained this way are related to the skill or task that was completed to earn it. For example, Set Lasers for Fun increases the odds of scoring Critical Hits with energy-based energy weapons; to earn the perk, a player must do 16,000 damage with one handed energy weapons over the course of their game. Additionally, some challenge perks have multiple ranks or more than one version, such as Caza-Death Dealer, which 'level up' as the player continues adding to its requisite challenge task. Special perks are granted from other sources, usually through actions in the game world. Completing quests and performing certain actions unlock them. For example, the effects of surgical implants are counted as special perks, which are unlocked once the implant is purchased. Many of the perks not originally intended to be used in New Vegas remain from the conversion from Fallout 3. This means that some of the Fallout 3 perks can be added to the characters in New Vegas even though the associated quest does not exist in the game. Like Barkskin, or Wired Reflexes.

    Races Human Adaptable (2): Start with a bonus Edge you qualify for at character creation. Ghoul Immune to Disease (1): Ghouls are immune to all diseases that impact humans. Immune to Radiation (2): As creatures born of radiation, ghouls are immune to the danger of radiation, experiencing it as a warm glow. This sense allows them to identify and locate radiation sources with a Notice roll. Radiation Healing (2): Ghouls in an area of standard background radiation (such as most of the wastes) roll natural healing rolls normally. In an area of moderate radiation, they roll a natural healing roll once per day. In an area of high radiation, they roll natural healing rolls once per hour. Ugly (-1): Most wastelanders find ghouls to be hideous creatures, and they regularly face prejudice even in the most accepting communities. They gain the Ugly hindrance. Weak (-2): The degraded body of a ghoul isn't as strong as an average human. They suffer a -1 penalty to all Strength rolls, including melee damage. Robot Construct (6): +2 to recover from being Shaken, ignore one level of wound modifiers, don't breathe, and are immune to disease and poison. Cannot heal naturally, but can be repaired by a Tech roll (ignoring the golden hour). Mods (1): Can't use cyberware, but may purchase and install robot modifications to alter their form and purpose. Environmental Weakness (Electricity, -1): Robots suffer +4 additional damage from electrical attacks, and have a -4 penalty to resist other electrical effects. Outsider Hindrance (Major, -2) Robots are considered to be property throughout the wastes, even those that have developed self-awareness over the years.

  • Wastelandwarrior
    WastelandWarrior – Massive Overhaul, from the Vault to Zeta WastelandWarrior is a massive overhaul of Fallout 3 and all DLC, including most record types, from Actor to Worldspace. It tries to fit the lore of the game, making it harder, more interesting and sometimes funny. WastelandWarrior has a lot of unique features, you don't need any bugfixing mod anymore and it's built with performance and stability in mind. You can even configure how many actors are loaded by the game, depending on your hardware. You can play it in one of the three survival modes against ultra hardcore enemies with a lot of mean effects. But you can also disable most additional enemies, free Paradise Falls and gain a working slave settlement with player house, join a caravan or order BoS groups as enforcement in some places. If you're stupid enough to get a deadly radiation, you can also play as Ghoul Reaver and recruit some Glowing Ones as compagnions(optional). There are a lot of unique encounters, new named npcs and enemies, improved places(all settlements, places of interest like the Citadel or Roosevelt Academy, caravan trader points, ...), upgraded actors like the scavenger at Pennsilvania Av), and a lot of easter eggs. You can find new weapon recipes for Spider mines and grenades, an artillery strike marker, clutter for the recipes, new books and sometimes funny surprises without any sense. There are some hardcore and maybe unfair enemies on any difficulty and survival mode settting. But I was trying to weaken the player, not to create unkillable enemies.

It was like Firefly meeting Mad Max meeting Rango and it was perfect.

  • Analysing Constraint Play in Digital Games 自製工坊：分析應用於數碼遊戲中的限制性玩法
    CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG 香港城市大學 Workshops of Our Own: Analysing Constraint Play in Digital Games 自製工坊：分析應用於數碼遊戲中的限制性玩法 Submitted to School of Creative Media 創意媒體學院 In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 哲學博士學位 by Johnathan HARRINGTON September 2020 二零二零年九月 ABSTRACT Players are at the heart of games: games are only fully realised when players play them. Contemporary games research has acknowledged players’ importance when discussing games. Player-based research in game studies has been largely oriented either towards specific types of play, or towards analysing players as parts of games. While such approaches have their merits, they background creative traditions shared across different play. Games share players, and there is knowledge to be gleamed from analysing the methods players adopt across different games, especially when these methods are loaded with intent to make something new. In this thesis, I will argue that players design, record, and share their own play methods with other players. Through further research into the Oulipo’s potential contributions to games research, as well as a thorough analysis of current game studies texts on play as method, I will argue that the Oulipo’s concept of constraints can help us better discuss player-based design. I will argue for constraints by analysing various different types of player created play methods. I will outline a descriptive model that discusses these play methods through shared language, and analysed as a single practice with shared commonalities. By the end of this thesis, I will have shown that players’ play methods are often measured and creative.
