Readme: V. 1.0
After a year of playing Skyrim, I began to be disgusted with the way the perks acted, so I changed them! This mod aims to revamp the perk system in the game. Making perks for viable for use, or more powerful and more worthwhile to take.
I have reworked every single perk tree, not necessarily every single perk. All my changes are listed below. I have separated each perk tree into separate ESP’s. To allow the user to pick and choose which perk tree’s they want to change. I highly recommend starting a new game, to enjoy the full benefits of this mod.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to make perks better or additional perks, whatever comments or concerns, I would LOVE to know. I know some of these trees are lacking, but that’s because I haven’t been able to think up of anything. So, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Bugs:
I am fairly confident that there are bugs somewhere in this mod; I need to know about it ?
Works in Progress:
I am going to rework the standing stone perks, as they are pretty useless at this point, and I will make them better.
I want to change the way skills WORK, not just what they do, which may take some time.
