Traits, Perks

Since Bethesda decided to make Fallout 3, we figured we might as well have a forum about it.

Cult of Personality, and I think he was just being coy...

bein' Jesus , he would surely know what it was


:drunk:

I do enjoy a good dish of coy, but cult of personality does not double the rate at which you +/- Karma.
righte-o

it just lets you use absolute value.

Was there a karma-magnet perk?

I guess that’s pretty close, but it only counts for dialog and reactions.

I don't think they properly implemented it even in those situations. Where else is Karma supposed to come into play anywy?

Flower Child wasn't even in FO2, for whatever reason. Only in FO1 and FOT.

Uber Pyromaniac: You LOVE setting everything on fire including people... You gain +10 damage with fire weapons and you resist 3-9 fire damage but your speech (since you like to set people on fire) suffers moderately to greatly

Well, wasn't there only 1 weapon in the game that actually did fire damage (the flamethrower [before being upgraded]), meaning that this would be as useless as the Pyromaniac perk?

How about no?

As for weapons, there's certainly room for new fire-based gadgets.

There should be a way to create own traits and backgrounds.

pyromaniac trait would be ok IMO, extra fire AND explosive damage, extra exp in related skills.
