Description:
I was always bothered by how any character, from level 1, could reliably skin and slaughter any animal, insect, and mutant.
With this mod, items like meats, pelts, bloods, and glands don't drop until you have the damage perk associated with that class of creature.
The goal with this tweak is to make characters feel more distinct, items more scarce, and the game more "realistic".
How it works (if you're curious):
Three new globals were created to represent your chance of harvesting items from each class of creature. (Default is 100%)
Leveled lists that represent a creature's death item were edited. Now, checking these globals as the list's chance to drop nothing.
Hunter, Entomologist, and Purifier were given perk entries to complete a stage in a hidden quest.
When a perk completes its respective stage, the appropriate global is changed to 5%, allowing items to drop 95% of the time.
Works similarly to the Scrounger perk.
Some creatures that do not use the leveled lists may have their drops show up expectedly. If you notice this, let me know! I'll try and patch it up.
It's hard to determine how every creature in the game works without this kind of playtesting.
Compatibility:
Edits were done by hand rather than through scripts.
This may change in the future if I can figure out how to make these changes dynamically.
You may run into issues with mods that edits these perks or the death item-leveled lists of creatures.
Mods that add new creatures also may not be affected by this mod.
