Knowing the sheer tenacity of the good people of Fallout Forum City, this has probably been discussed a hundred times.

Midway through the video Todd will start talking about the perk, and you get a glimpse at all 3 of its levels. Apparently you have a chance to, at level 2, make your foes attack another foe. Then at level 3 you can issue them specific orders. Basically its like a amazing Mesmetron in Perk form that has plenty more capabilities and potential for some fun.

Here's a couple scenarios I have thought of:

1: Making your enemies jump off high places.

2: Raider-Deathclaw Deathmatch

3: "Hey guy I just scared, play me in some cards!"

4: "Hey women, fetch me mo' wine!"

5: "Hey raider. Quit being an ass and go to The Institute, get an education in Android manipulation, then come work for me."

6: "Hey guy, marry that mole rat!"

And many, many more...

hmm, doubt you can make a guy marry a molerat... but since you can pacify animals as well you might be able to make friends with a molerat and a guy at the same time and issue them orders to interact, but my guess is that the only interaction would be "go kill that"

What I am wondering is what will the voice be like when issuing these commands. Sometimes we will be role-playing a good character that wants to spare a person's life, other times we will be role-playing a complete [censored] that just wants to have a laugh before killing his targets. Not sure how one voice will be able to encompass both possibilities unless it is extremely nuetral.

More like:
"2: Raider suicide by Deathclaw"

Unless we get him some Power Armor... Well, that is assuming he had the ability to use it... You know what, nevermind. He's screw. How about we strap a mini nuke to his raider body while it still breathes and then send him off to kill a deathclaw. Two birds, one nuclear stone.

Hey, it would still be fun to watch amigo!

What I really want to know about this perk now is whether there's some limitation either a max amount of NPC'S intimidated or a limit of how long they're affected by intimidation. Because if the Tue intimidation is permeant (until NPC dies)I'm going to make a mercenary squad with a deathclaw mascot and a psycho raider armed with the craziest Gatling gun i can build in the heaviest armor I can fit him in and that's not including my companion choice.

Although it would be incredibly cool, I'm doubting we will be able to turn them into permanent companions. Unless it works like Undead Thrall in Skyrim and they will follow you around until they die.

That's what in hoping for.

My only problem with these perks is with Animal Friend and Wasteland Whisperer. You point your gun at an animal and except them to be your friend? Besides animals and wasteland creatures don't understand that pointing a gun at them means fetch that wrench. Although, it makes perfect sense to humans. Instead of using a gun, some type of animation would be better for Animal Friend and Wasteland Whisperer.

Perhaps animals don't know what the weapon itself means but they can sense the intent behind it.

If someone pointed a gun at me, I'd likely withdraw some cash for them, but I'm not going to be their friend for life.

It does require 10 Charisma and Level 50 is its probably one of those things where Beth just says 'hey, you've probably beat the game, go absolutely nuts'

Yeah I think a lot of people are really overestimating the extent of this feature
