INTRODUCTION:
SPECIAList 5.0 is all new! Designed around a simple concept: "Do you know what makes you SPECIAL?"
SPECIAList focuses on "conditional" Perks. SPECIALizations boosts your abilities and stats, usually at the cost other stats. To improve immersion and role-play, you will no longer be a jack-of-all-trades. Now you're a SPECIAList, with a very specific skill set, which make you very dangerous to raiders and super-mutants.
This mod is designed to play through with a new character. You're starting SPECIAL has been decreased across the board. When selecting your SPECIAL stat, choose wisely! Three (3) is considered average ability, five (5) is above average, and anything over that simply makes you exceptional. You will not be able to increase your SPECIAL stats (aside from Implants, etc) after this point.
To select a SPECIALization, activate one of the items sitting on the table next to the Vigor-Tester in Doc Mitchell's house. You will only be able to activate one item. It is recommend to do this during the character creation quest. Doing so will add the related SPECIALization Perk, adjust your skills, and impact the "starting equipment" returned to you by Doc Mitchell.
DO NOT use this mod with previous saves/versions formerly known as "Wasteland Courier: Factions" or "Wasteland Courier: SPECIAList".
NOT RECOMMENDED with other mods that affect SPECIAL attributes or perks, as there will likely be conflicts.
Like SPECIAList and play Fallout 4?
REQUIRED DLC's AND MODS:
None.
However, it is recommended to be played with the four DLC's: Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, and Lonesome Road (this mod is designed to level 30). Personally, I don't play with the Courier's Stash DLC as I find it un-immersive, and this mod changes your starting equipment to be more immersive.
SPECIALIZATIONS:
SPECIALization stat changes are classed as "temporary" buffs. They will not limit or increase access to any perks. SPECIALization skill changes are permanent.
Wasteland Courier:
Revenge of the Khan:
The Gambler:
The Exile:
Physician:
Barbarian:
SPECIAL CHANGES:
PERK NEW AND REVISED:
* Denotes a change to a current perk.
CHALLENGE PERK ADJUSTMENTS:
Damage dealt when acquiring the following Challenger Perks have been increased.
GENERAL GAMEPLAY CHANGES:
Small random adjustments, fixes, and preferences included to minimize plugins to handle small stuff. Some it inspired by other mods I've seen.
INSTALLATION / UNINSTALLATION:
If you're here, you probably know how to do this. But since everybody else includes it:
