^ The original system had no flaws at all. They shouldn't have fucked it all up.

^^But there are multiple perks between those games that were bugged to not work or functioned in such a way that you couldn't actually get what you wanted without being very particular during level up?

They were great mechanics, but saying they had no flaws is an exaggeration.

I'd be willing to bet that if F4 had debuted the exact same system it has now, but displayed perks the same way you saw them in prior games, significantly less people would care about them. We saw the same happen when dialogue box mods came out and the arguments over Nate/Nora's writing died down.

F4's perk system is dumbed down but it allows players to go in any direction they'd like for building their character, and doesn't penalize heavily if you choose to go down a different route later on. 76 though, yeah, I just don't like it. Neat idea but in practice the trading cards thing does not work good. Which is ironic because it allows even more freedom than any of the other games' perk mechanics.

^ I meant the core mechanics and workings of the original SPECIAL and perk system. The bugged perks do suck, but even then the only one I can think of is In Shining Armor.

Tell me the man who invented VANS. Nothing personal, kid.

My hot take is that it was never a bad thing. Every time it gets brought up, the complaints are always the same. You and a vocal minority sound like an old man yelling at a cloud like from Simpsons.

Seriously though what need is there to see quest markers in VATS? I mean 2+ perception dosent sound that bad but so much wasted potential in the perk chart

^ in shining armor is shit due to being bugged, broad daylight is shit without being bugged

Vans is lowkey underrated

@ChillKindaGuy VANS Is The *Best* Perk In Fallout 4 (not my opinion just a video)
