Version: 0.15 BETA
Description:
Traits Project is a Fallout 3 modification project that adds the Trait game mechanic from previous Fallout games.
Traits are Perks that are only available to the player character (PC) during the character creation process. Traits are meant to represent a PC's innate characteristics. Like Perks, Traits may boost a PC's Attribute, Skill, or other condition. But unlike Perks, Traits give a penalty to offest the bonus.
Requirements:
Fallout 3 version 1.7 (Latest patch)
Features:
Traits Project adds Traits featured in: Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout New Vegas
Bruiser - A little slower, but a little bigger. You may not hit as often, but they will feel it when you do! Your total action points are lowered, but your Strength is increased.
Strength +2, Agility -1, AP -20
Must have a Base Strength of 8 or lower. Must not have the Small Frame Trait.
Chem Reliant - You are more easily addicted to chems. Your chance to be addicted by chem use is twice normal, but their effects last three times as long.
Addiction Chance x 2, Chem Effects duration x 3
Must not have the Chem Resistant Trait.
Four Eyes - When wearing any type of eyewear, you gain a +2 bonus to your Perception. However, since your vision isn't exactly perfect, you naturally lose 1 Perception without eyewear.
Perception -1, Perception +2 with equipped eyewear
Must have a Base Perception of 2 or higher.
Gifted - You have more innate abilities than most, so you have not spent as much time honing your skills.
All Attributes + 1, All Skills -10, Skill Points -5.
Must not have an Attribute higher than 10. Must not have the Skilled Trait.
Good Natured - You studied less-combative skills as you were growing up. Your combat skills start at a lower level, but other skills are substantially improved.
Barter, Medicine, Repair, Science, Speech + 10, Combat Skills -10
Heavy Handed - You swing harder, not better. Your attacks are very brutal, but lack finesse. You rarely cause a good critical hit, but you always do more melee damage.
Melee and Unarmed Damage + 20%, Melee and Unarmed Critical Chance -60%
Kamikaze - By not paying attention to any threats, you can move faster and act more frequently than normal. However, this lowers your Damage Resistance by 10.
AP +20, Movement Speed +35%, Damage Resistance -10
Skilled - Since you spent more time improving your skills than a normal person, you gain more skill points. The tradeoff is that your innate abilities are lower than normal.
All Attributes - 1, All Skills +10
Must not have an Attribute lower than 2. Must not have the Gifted Trait.
Small Frame - You are not quite as big as other people, but that never slowed you down. You can't carry as much, but you are more agile.
Agility +1, Carry Weight -25
Must have a Base Agility of 9 or lower. Must not have the Bruiser Trait.
Modified Perks: Some Perks were once considered Traits in the Fallout series. These Perks, in addition to some new ones are modified to fit the criteria of Traits and are no longer considered "playable".
Bloody Mess - With the Bloody Mess perk, characters and creatures you kill will often explode into a red, gut-ridden, eyeball-strewn paste. Fun!
Removed the 5% damage modifier but retains the increased chance of gory death animations.
NOTE: By default, dismemberment chance is set to 50 and with Bloody Mess at 15. Traits Project sets the dismemberment chance to 25 and Bloody Mess at 35.
Chem Resistant - Chems only affect you half as long as normal, but your chance to be addicted is also only 50% of normal.
Addiction Chance x 0.5, Chem Effects duration x 0.5
Must not have the Chem Reliant Trait.
Child at Heart - Your interactions with children are greatly improved, however, like a child the value of items do not mean much to you.
Unique dialogue choices, Barter -10
Fast Metabolism - Your metabolic rate is increased. This means that you are much less resistant to radiation and poison, but your body heals faster.
Stimpak heal rate +50%, Starting Radiation and Poison Resistance at 0%
Finesse - Your attacks show a lot of finesse. You don't do as much damage, but you cause more critical hits.
Attack Damage -30%, Critical Chance +10%
Night Person - As a night-time person, you are more awake when the sun goes down. Your Intelligence and Perception are improved at night, but dulled during the day.
Intelligence and Perception +2 from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, -1 during daylight hours
Installation:
Extract all the contents of the .zip file into the Fallout 3\Data folder.
Enable ZZ_TP.esp through the Fallout 3 launcher or Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM).
* It is highly recommended to start a new game when using this mod. Problems may occur when loaded with an existing game. See Incompatibilies/ Known Issues for details.
* It is recommended to load ZZ_TP.esp after mods that alter Perks.
A menu will appear immediately after the conversation with James during the "Future Imperfect" quest, or any point afterwards. Up to two (2) Traits may be chosen but is not required.
Click on any of the "Select Trait" buttons to open a list of traits. Each listed Trait has a small description of bonuses and/or penalties. Click on "NEXT PAGE" to see more Traits. Click on "MAIN MENU" to return to the main Traits menu.
Click on a Trait to select it. Once a Trait is selected the main Traits menu will reappear. This time, the button that was selected for assigning a Trait will now be labeled "Remove Trait" Only click on the button to reset the selected Trait.
Click on "DONE" to exit the Traits main menu.
Uninstallation:
Disable ZZ_TP.esp through the Fallout 3 launcher or Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM).
Make a clean game save.
Incompatibilies/ Known Issues:
May conlfict with mods altering Perks.
When loaded with an existing game:
If existing characters have already one or more of the Modified Perks, the Perks will not be converted into Traits. They will still be available in the Trait Selection menu. However, selecting an already existing Trait will not properly add the Trait Project version to the character. To fix this, select the pre-existing Trait. Second, remove the Trait as this will remove the default Perk version. Reselect the Trait so the Traits Project version will be added. Be careful as turning a pre-existing Perk into a Trait will make you lose a Perk.
