Hot Diggity (Progression Skills and Perk Overhaul)
Skills and Traits return to Fallout 4!
Hot Diggity is a total overhaul of the leveling system of Fallout 4 with the reintroduction of skills, traits and adds a large number of new perks to play with!
THIS MOD IS CURRENTLY IN BETA
While I have tested to ensure that all perks function at a glance, I am only one person and doing this in my limited spare time, as such perks may not function as intended. They are undoubtedly unbalanced. In the coming weeks, I am looking for a large amount of feedback in regards to balance and any other issues.
Once I have a better grasp on balance for the mod, I intend to resume the implementation of new perks and traits. I am always open to suggestions for new perk/trait ideas.
Requirements
Nuka World
Far Harbor
LEVELUPMENUEX by Neanka
Goals
Improve replayability by stopping each character from transitioning into a jack of all trades
Allowing for each character to feel more distinct
Reduce the number of boring perks by merging many generic crafting perks into skills
Features
A reimplementation of the skill system similar to that of previous fallout games including 11 New skills
A return of the traits system seen in New Vegas
¬30 new perks (depending on how you count them) to provide more variety to each characterThese perks have been drawn from other fallout games, mods for other fallout games or my own creations
Perk requirements have been implemented to encourage character diversity and encourage replayability
The modification of many boring vanilla perks, who wants to waste a precious perk point on +20% damage with pistols?
The player starts the game with both ranks of local leader (Essential for any settlement builder)
Dramatically reduces the number of SPECIAL points available at character creation from 21 to 14
The addition of a level cap of 60
The exact details of these features may vary dramatically through the life of this mod as I respond to feedback.
