Why is this so difficult to do? Why are you guys being lazy about fixing this bug that has being present in the game since day one?

The Ninja Perk DOESN'T add up critical chances properly. It STILL multiplies it by 1.15 instead of adding a flat 15% to your critical chance.

Could you fix this? Please? This bug has basically ruined a big part of the game for me.

It's 15% of what you have, not 15% of the maximum.

It didn't work in Fallout 3 either.

I don't get what you guys are saying, multiplying by 1.15 IS adding 15%. Like, say you had a crit chance of 10%, raising it by 15% would NOT raise it to 25%, that's incorrect, that'd be raising it by 150%, instead, the correct result of raising it would raise it to 11.5%.

Yes, that's the problem. Every other perk or trait that modifies your critical chance is additive. That character with a 10% chance levels up and takes the Light Touch perk (and is wearing light armor), he now has a 15% chance.

Wow you accurately described the bug. :brokencomputer: Thats what the perk does but not what its supposed to do. Its supposed to add a flat 15% chance to the maximum for melee weapons just as Finesse adds 5% it for all weapons. I did recently try the perk on the ps3 and it felt like it was adding a flat +15%.
Perhaps this week I'll sit down and take some swings with the proton axe and count how many criticals I get to see if the numbers are anywhere near close.
