Permissions and credits


**Please endorse this mod to show your thanks and support, once I reach 80 I'll release pack 2, with 10 more brand new perks.

The VDSP adds 10 new perks to the game, all with new icons not seen in Fallout 3 before. The perks aim to be balanced and work alongside the original game perks. The download also includes a mini-manual in PDF format (see image section for example pages). Should this perk-pack be popular enough I'll get to work on pack no.2.
