Pointiac
A skillpoint enhancerl

This mod enhances the way skillpoints are earned and assigned in a way that makes SPECIAL's more useful.

Notice:
After porting my 0.98 version over to New Vegas, I ported my 1.2 version back to FO3, as I feel the changes are for the better. The old version is still available however. Take note: There are two versions available: One for FWE (which I use), and one for standalone.

Full list of details:
  • All skills have been reduced down to a base of 0, so now you only start out with skillpoints relative to your S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
  • Tagged skills now gets raised by +2 per point spent (like in FO1/2).
  • Tag also gives an immediate +5 skillpoints to the tagged skill.
  • All SPECIAL's now give 3 skillpoints to their linked skills instead of 2 points (ie. Agility give +3 Small Guns, +3 Sneak, etc). Luck is unchanged and gives it's usual 0.5 skillpoint on all skills.
  • Every level you gain 7 skillpoints instead of 11. (Plus points from Intellect and perks)
  • The perk "Intense Training" has been changed from a perk to a feature. Every 5 levels you gain a SPECIAL.
  • The perk "Educated" has been disabled.
  • The perk "Tag!" have had it's level requirement set to 20.
  • Some loadingscreen tips changed to accommodate the above changes.

Special uninstall procedure:
  • Save the game by going through the menu. Do NOT save with quicksave.
  • Disable and delete the Pointiac.esp
  • Load your savegame and resave (with either quicksave or through the menu)
  • The mod should now be completely removed.


Notes
There are two versions: Pointiac standalone and Pointiac for FWE. The Pointiac for FWE overrides the changes FWE does. Load it last using FOMM.

Compatibility notes:
Pointiac will not be compatible with any other mod that has changes that affect skillpoints. However, by moving the Pointiac.esp to the bottom of the load-list with FOMM, it will override any changes made by other mods.

Recommended mods:
  • You really want to have more perks available when playing, so I highly recommend http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35979 by Dree.
