Explorer works, because Washington is a labyrinth, even with a guide.


** Swift Learner: +10% experience for each level, but there's an infinite amount of experience available. Even worse is "Deep Sleep", which lets you get the "Well Rested" bonus for +10% exp from any bed you sleep in, meaning it's like Swift Learner, but you need to sleep in order to get the benefits, and those benefits only last a limited time.

In addition to the fact that leveling up too quickly will cause more difficult enemies to appear sooner.



** Animal Friend: Normally-hostile mammals become non-hostile. You can go for a second rank to get them to help you in combat, but they aren't usually that tough or annoying enough to be worth getting the perk.

** Animal Friend: Friend at level 2: Normally-hostile mammals become non-hostile. You can go for a second rank non-hostile, At level 1 it is useful to get them avoid having to help waste your weapons or bullets on animals, plus the Yao Guai leave you in combat, but alone. At level 2, it's of no use, because attacking other non-animal enemies is something they aren't usually that tough or annoying enough to be worth getting the perk.already do anyway.



** Explorer: All map markers are revealed, but not counted as "discovered" so you can't fast travel to them, you just know they're there. The Pip-Boy has a compass that directs you to all nearby map markers as soon as you exit the ForcedTutorial, and any time you need to go to a location, it's usually marked on your map for you anyway. Besides, it's the internet era -- just go to Nukapedia if you're having trouble finding a place.



** Nuclear Anomaly: At twenty HP or less, you lose all your radiation, your health rises to twenty HP exactly, and you create a small nuclear blast where you're standing. Although it's an amusing gimmick, anything that could drive you to under twenty HP at level thirty is probably going to be dealing '''more''' than twenty damage per hit, the blast re-irradiates you, damages your clothing, often cripples your limbs, damages any friendly NPC in its radius, and occasionally it glitches up and fails to provide the healing, causing you to kill yourself.

(Plus any enemy that can reduce your health to 20% at this point will probably be too strong for this Perk to kill.)

This should go to Broken base, being too ambiguous.


* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: A quest in Rivet City has you retrieve mutant ant pheromones for Angela Staley so she can use them to [[ButLiquorIsQuicker drug and seduce]] an acolyte named Diego, who likes her but considers his vow of celibacy and duty to the church more important. She succeeds, leading him to abandon his lifelong dream of priesthood and marry her out of a sense of obligation. Despite the circumstances constituting DateRape, doing this gives you ''good'' karma and the rest of the town applauds it because they're "perfect for eachother".

This is a valid example. It doesn't have to be "mind control" as suggested by the previous edit, nothing on the trope page suggests as such. She is using a mind-altering substance on Diego and then the game supports this double-standard by giving Good Karma.

Nectar is only a kind of aphrodisiac, it is not mind control.

* VowOfCelibacy: Diego, an acolyte who intends to join the priesthood, has taken one. You can give Angela, a local woman with a crush on him, a powerful aphrodisiac to drug him into breaking it. This gives you good karma in a particularly blatant example of DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale.
