For some reason this mod is causing crashes when killing NPCs that change reputation. When killing the Powder Gangers during Ghost Town Gunfight the game will crash. Or if I were to kill Goodsprings citizens the game will crash. I was using the recommended preset.
EDIT: As long as bEnableReputationMode is set to zero the game will not crash due to reputation changes.
Why not take the Speech skill of the NPC you are speaking to into account in order to make Speech checks harder? This would constitute a good nerf to the Speech skill which is a skill most people consider to be broken. Furthermore NPCs would finally have use of their Speech skill as well.
It doesn't, however speech as it is is already overused. If you want a semi-realistic "spot the charlatan", there's a mode where you can use PER instead.
But what if you have > the level of intelligence as the NPC you're speaking to, but <= their charisma? Don't you think that should even the playing field?
Level already modifies your available skill points, which are a final character output apart from equipment, so it shouldn't get re-added to the calculation. Besides, in the real world, if you and a 50 year old are at a similar skill level in a shooting competition (for example), age is not the factor that determines who has superior marksmanship.
Probably the most immersive charisma overhaul mod out there. Intelligence actually becomes useful for npcs and charisma becomes more useful for the player
Any progress on making a version that only applies a flat bonus/malus to checks rather than checking NPC stats? Otherwise you'd probably need to edit the stats for pretty much every NPC with speech/barter checks to make this make sense to use. For example, Chris Haversam is an engineer, undoubtedly very intelligent as he literally does rocket science, and yet he only has INT 5 in-game.
Haversam's INT makes no sense from a lore perspective, but it does make sense from a difficulty progression perspective. It's something I thought about. Come Fly With Me is a rather early quest, so it's good to showcase high CHR.
No, that bit makes sense lmao. The guy has a damn brain tumor, and its not clear if he was ever as smart as the Legion would have you believe in the first place.
