One thing about the Mr. Sandman perk is that it doesn't give you negative relations with factions if you kill their members with it so you can use it to kill veteran NCR rangers or brotherhood paladins and take their amazing gear without any consequences.

It's a very niche use considering how 1) there's already far too many easy ways to make $$$ in NV and 2) if you do proper sneak build you'll be able to take down most sleeping enemies without mr sandman except maybe BOS bozos since those weirdos sleep with power armor 😂

You can do that with any silent weapon that kills the target instantly while you remain undetected. For example, with a combat knife you can stealth 1-shot all of the NCR troopers at Mojave Outpost when they go to sleep for a bunch of extremely easy exp, loot, and no faction loss. You can also do this to the entirety of the Legion fort since their tents conveniently block sightlines and most knives are holdout weapons. Mr.Sandman simply makes it easier to do with higher hp targets, but stacking enough crit allows you to kill most of those without Mr.Sandman except for BoS paladins sleeping in power armor.

I'm over 3 months late but still. Eye for Eye: +20% damage from crippled legs for a sniper in exhange for mobility is pretty damn chunky if you can take the QoL hit. Crippling your arms isn't really an option for a ranger unless you want to become a terminal Steady addict. Meanwhile, +10% damage (+20% perk, -10% cripple penalty) for melee/unarmed by crippling your arms is just free damage. Can't cripple your legs as melee cause your legs is what feeds you. The most important thing, however, is what it can potentially do for an explosives (or explosives+melee/unarmed) build by crippling both your legs and arms. You have a ranged weapon so you don't need to chase your quarry, hence +20% from crippled legs, and you don't need a steady hand to aim because your projectiles explode, hence another +20% (+10% for melee) from crippled arms. In the end that's a whopping +40% (+30% for melee) damage in exchange for a bit of movement speed. It might be a niche, finnicky, and subjectively annoying choise, but to list it as one of the worst is a intellectual crime as far as I'm concerned. Voracious Reader: When combined with Comprehension and used to print True Police Stories, you gain an inexhaustable supply of +10% crit chance, which basically makes these perks a slightly more fiddly equivalent of an extra 2 ranks in Finesse, one of the best perks in the game by majority vote and your own admission. So not only is Voracious Reader nowhere near being one of the worst perks, it is arguably a meta perk.

@@markvanpopering4598 You might be right, however I cannot find a source that gives me karma scoring, so I just made it up. In the game I like to slay.

I steal just about everything--in the game--anyway. Easier to take this perk at level 4. I do not take Lady Killer or the gay one but do not admonish players who do take those perks. I like the perk choice for my character.

Voracious reader can be really good for a crit build tho "True Police Stories" gives 5% base crit chance, 10% with Comprehension. Being able to spam those and have a constant 10% (or more depending on the weapon's crit multiplier) can make crit builds even more OP But if you aren't doing a crit build, it is pretty worthless since it is so late game

And almost all weapons cannot reach 100%. Fun fact: the alien blaster has a 100x crit mult, so unless you somehow have less than 1 luck, it will always crit

I recall a mod that rebalances the Cannibal perk to give a percentage of health back instead of a fixed amount, essentially giving back a fifth of it. Honestly what the perk should've been since it'd give an incentive to do it after a large fight at least once, but that's just me.
@desertdude540

I'm pretty sure that Eye for Eye was intended to be an "insurance" perk that triggers when you bite off more than you can chew and start losing a fight badly, you'll start doing more damage as you get closer to death (Ferocious Loyalty is similar in this regard). It's still a waste, even more than if you are deliberately trying to activate its effect, since you can generally avoid fights that you aren't ready for and the ones you can't avoid are usually due to glitches or bad RNG (e.g., fast traveling back to Ranger Station Foxtrot for the Return to Sender quest and having the game drop half a dozen cazadores on top of you right in the middle of the camp) so you can just take the death and autoload the last save.

Fun Fact: If you have the Skilled trait, it makes the Here And Now perk even worse. Here And Now works by granting you XP equal to what you need to level up. However, Skilled reduces ALL XP gains by 10%, including the XP granted by Here And Now. Meaning the trait that specifically states it will instantly grant a level up does not grant a level up.

Mr. Sandman did come in handy on one playthrough, having never taken it before I was kind of thrilled at how easy it was to sneak-kill everyone in the NCR barracks and take their equipment. Just made making repairs and things much easier. Plus I would always get a laugh out of stacking all the bodies everywhere, while the couple remaining folks walking around were oblivious that there was a pile of arms and legs next to their refrigerator.

Scrounger is a fantastic perk, and I will not hear this slander against it.

I know you've harped on swift learner in several of your videos, but I dont think theyre as bad as you make them out to be. I concede theyre not top tier perks, but much more middle of the road than you feel they are. Because I'm a completionist and prefer to see as many locked-behind-skill-checks dialogue trees or locked doors as I can (plus I like pleasing everybody and using skill checks to do whatever they need me to), I like taking max Intelligence and all the swift learner ranks asap so I can max out all my skills sooner. Early speech, lock picking, and science are invaluable. While it does eat up other perk slots, you get so many more while leveling it doesn't feel like a big deal. In my most recent run, i'm currently 65 hours in, I've done most of what the Mjoave has to offer me and ready for the battle at hoover dam, I've done 2/4 DLCs, and I'm only at level 48. Close to max with 2 DLCs left, sure, but i don't mind being capped already since I'm basically in this run's victory lap before the finale.
@khirnera
@khirnera 11 дней назад
I guess my point is that other folks argue that perks are the biggest benefit to leveling up and using up perk slots just to level up more feels like a waste, but the way I play and approach the game I personally hunger for the skill points. To each their own etc. However that one perk that just gives you a level up DOES suck

I dont even take Here and Now in Fallout 3, where you do get perks every lvl. I'm certainly not gonna take it in New Vegas.

Scrounger is great as a way to have additional trading items in the form of ammo, i always have it on my characters, though more for the simple ammo supply than trading. On Hardcore mode where ammo has weight, Scrounger is not great, but at least it will keep your favorite weapon well fed.

If you like scrounger you should play for Ceaser's legion, it gives you a lot more ammo that you can sell or use, but if you play on hardcore don't forget to take pack rat)

I used cannibal on my playthrough for role play purposes. But no one really reacts to me eating corpses lmao. I literally didn't get a single reaction from anyone. Or even just additional dialogue options. So not only is the perk useless strategically (it barely gives you any health back) but its also literally useless for role play.

There are exactly four cannibal moments in all of New Vegas. Telling Jas in Sloan about the tastiest thing you've ever eaten. Telling Marjorie you eat people for white glove infamy Telling Mortimer you eat people to get him on your side (you can lie about it with 62 speech) Asking Dog what ghost people taste like.

i have noticed that in a lot of your videos you misrepresent what "Lessons Learned" does. As far as i can tell it does not give you a generell xp boost, when getting xp. But instead gives you a percentage of the xp you need for the next level. So when you hit lv 40 for example, you get 40% of the xp needed for lv 41 immediately. Not saying that´s more helpful, that kinda depens on how you play and what your goal is. i think it´s helpful when you dont want to play every Quest and DLC in every playthrough, but still want to reach the higher levels.

I think Here and Now might be the worst perk in the game, since you permanently waste one perk. A lot of other perks on this list grants you absolutely zero advantage, but at least they have some meme potential, and they're one-use. This one wastes a perk, does nothing else and is repeatable. Even if you have a mod that gives you a perk every level, you could hypothetically use this one to hit max level with ZERO perks. It's bonkers.

Voracious ready is definitely useful for a crit build. Combined with comprehension and retention, you get an extra 10% to crit with the true police stories magazine and i easily crafted over a 100 of these. Also good luck buying an adequate amount of true police stories from vendors.

Here amd Now does not deserve number one spot. Many times im playing and im doing a particular run or miasion that reuqires me to have certain stats and im under level w no magezines nearby it can be VERY useful to rounding out your Courier. Id say in fairness bump it up to 6th maybe 7th personally. The worst would be rad child in my opinion. Barely any irradiated areas that are on main path maybe 3 heavy areas about it.

It doesn't tho. Skilled applies as 0.9 modifier to exp and Swift Learner applies a 1.1 modifier: 0.9 × 1.1 = 0.99 You are still getting 1% less experience every time and you wasted a perk that could be used for something else.

Scrounger actually one of my favourite, because I usually playing for Ceaser's legion and obtain a lot of ammunition that I can sell or use for myself, and scrounger gives me around 1/3 more ammunition so I like it pretty much for it's impact

​@@bananaspice1967 because the bonus damage you gain FAAAR outweights downsides, 60% (or more realistically 50% because of OWB) damage increase effectively means you can look in the general direction of anything and instantaneously explode it The Gatlling Laser, Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, Modded Laser Rifle and Modded LAER should all be clocking way over 1000 DPS when maxed out And pasciencia can drop a 1800 damage headshot sneakshot compared to a normal 1200 Aiming isn't really an issue because we get infinite Steady from dead money, we get more net damage from broken arms for our melee weapons I wouldn't recommend it for melee since you lose out on power attacks, and its BIGGEST issue is that it's REAALLY annoying to break all your limbs and then not sleep lmao And losing out on move speed is annoying
