==========DESCRIPTION==========
This is a simple mod. Tired of wasting perk points on a -whatever- perk called "InTeNsIvE tRaInInG"? Well, now you can really WORK your way to get a SPECIAL point in a way that is IMMERSIVE and REWARDING.
I was never a fan of having too many SPECIAL points. I prefer focused builds, and with my upcoming mod— which structures perks around attributes, similar to Fallout 4 gated system— having 10 Perception or 10 Intelligence will really pay off. On the other hand, maxing out every SPECIAL felt unoriginal and didn’t differentiate characters.
Since I really liked the SPECIAL reward system from the Lonesome Road DLC, I decided to create something similar. In this mod, I've disabled the Intensive Training perk (as it would otherwise make the mod redundant) and added 10 SPECIAL point rewards. These points are scattered across major story quests that I believe are significant due to their moral implications, excessive length with underwhelming rewards, or simply because they make sense thematically.
The SPECIAL Point Rewards are after completing the following quests:
- Ring-a-Ding-Ding! (the quest you find Benny)
- After finishing any of the main questlines: The House Always Wins VIII (House storyline), For the Republic Part 2 (NCR storyline), Render unto Caesar (Legion storyline) or Wild Card: Side Bets (Yes Man! storyline)
- Heist of the Centuries (Dead Money DLC last quest)
- Departing Paradise (Honest Hearts DLC last quest)
- Old World Blues (Old World Blues DLC last quest)
- That Lucky Old Sun (HELIOS One quest)
- Come Fly With Me (Ghouls at Repconn quest)
- A Valuable Lesson (The quest after collecting the 50 Sunset Sasparilla Star Bottle caps)
- Volare! (Boomers questline)
- Eyesight to the Blind or Tend to Your Business (Brotherhood of Steel questline)
Note: I understand that Caesar’s Legion can really mess with some of these questlines, so you’ll need to complete them first or we can find suitable substitutes. But hey, that’s on you for choosing to be a Legionnaire.
Each and every one of this quest rewards can be turned ON or OFF inside the .ini provided in the mod. The .ini file is located inside the "config" folder in the mod. It is commented, so it is pretty easy to use it. By default all their variables are set to 1 (ON).
==========COMPATIBILITY==========
Anything. It is just a quest script with checks. The greatest problem you can have is some mod re-enabling
==========FINAL NOTES==========
I take suggestions. Give me feedback. Enjoy.
