what's the point of the Wild Wastelander perk that you
get, its always made me wonder what the use
of it is.. Anyone know?

It lets you see http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Wasteland encounters, what was once known as "special random encounters."

It's not a Perk per se ... it's a Trait.

It adds a few weird/crazy special encounters throughout the Mojave Wasteland. This can be an Easter Egg pop-cultural reference, a unique weapon or two, murderous old ladies who want to kill you, humorous graffiti etc .....

Basically it adds a little extra spice to the game, and I think you should take that Trait for at least one playthrough.

Basically (with minor exceptions), it adds what should have been in the base game by default. :shrug:

Yes exactly. It was a tragedy that random encounters were omitted by Obsidian :sadvaultboy:
