This mod adds 39 new perks to the game, unlocks the Halberd skill on the character sheet, and makes several changes to existing perks and the perk system in general. It is included in the current version of Blood and Iron Overhaul now available. This mod is now in its final form barring any error corrections that may need to be made.
Like any new perk system it is best if this mod is used with a new game.
The Lethean Water potion will allow you to reset your perk points for a game already in progress.
Saved Games: When installing on a saved game, especially if upgrading from a previous version of this mod, it is best to reset the game's file library. To do this, start a new game and complete the initial dialogue sequence with Henry’s mother. Then quit and reload your save game.
Mod Features:
General:

*Existing perks have been rebalanced to accommodate this structure

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Files Not Loading: Sometimes the game doesn’t implement modded files right away. This problem seems to have been exacerbated by the 1.4.3 patch. If you encounter this issue, start a new game and complete the initial dialogue sequence with Henry’s mother. Then quit and reload you save game. This will often force KCD to reload the game library's files.
Localization File Conflicts: If you are using any mod that alters the Localization/english_xml.pak/ soul.xml file, that will cause a conflict. Also, some mods that only alter some files in the english_xml.pak leave redundant files inside even when they are not altered. If this includes either of these two files, again, you have a conflict.
*Using 7zip, extract the english_xml,pak from this mod.
*Right-click on the english_xmk.pak from the LAST mod in your load order and, again with 7zip, choose "open archive" at the top of the pop-up menu that appears.
*Drag the file you extracted from step one and drop it into the new open archive window and confirm the overwrite.
The Localization/english_xml.pak/text_ui_soul.xml file only deals with perks and this mod is not usable with other perk mods so this won't damage any other mods you are using.
No Perk Points When Leveling Character or Skills: There is a bug some people have when adding the DLC that causes perk points to not be awarded when they level up the character or skills. You can try verifying your files through Steam though some people need to uninstall the game and re-install it--I had to do that myself.
*Make copies of mods, altered files, your user.config, etc.
*Uninstall the game then go into your Steam folder and delete the KCD file entirely.
*Re-install the game.
*Restore your mods and any other files.
Reporting Issues: I check the comments section at least once a day so you can ask any questions you need to there and I will see them. If I am going to be out of touch for more than a day or two, I will leave a sticky post up top to that effect. Please refrain from posting in the Bugs section unless you are certain the problem is with BIO itself because you understand and have examined the files. If there is a bug that I can’t fix immediately I will add it to the Bug reports myself. If you ARE certain feel free top post in the Bug reports directly.
‘Your mod sucks and you’re a loser’ posts are perfectly welcome in the COMMENTS section as well but please be sure to check your spelling and grammar when being abusive so you don’t look like a complete ass..
Shameless Plug!
