About this mod
Overhauls several neglected perks. Adds a few new perks and traits. Balances many others.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This is the culmination of my work tackling the perks that Obsidian left worthless. Infiltrator, Swift Learner, Here and Now, and others have now been given attention they deserve. If you think I've missed something important, leave a message and I might address it in the next version.
This mod combines work from my previous mods: Heartless Doesn't Provide Poison Immunity, Skilled Nerfed, Baddarkl Balance Patch, Toggle Friend of the Night, and Lessons Learned Overhaul. It is not recommended that you use any of them in conjunction with Baddarkl Perk Overhaul.
This mod requires Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues, Lonesome Road, NVSE, and JIP LN NVSE Plugin. Baddarkl Perk Overhaul should be low in your load order, in order to ensure its changes aren't overwritten.
As of version 3.0, Baddarkl Perk Overhaul comes with a config file. It can be found under Fallout New Vegas/Data/config.
FULL LIST OF CHANGES:

regen is reduced by 75%.
