YMMV / More Perks Mod

• Funny Moments:
  • The PIP-Boy icon for Turret Expert features a kneeling Vault Boy singing in front of a turret with a heart symbol above its hull.
  • The PIP-Boy icon for Drink to Last! consists in a Vault Boy raising a toast while standing in front of a toilet.
  • With High Value Target, hitmen show up, greet you while declaring you're "the one from the Vault" before opening fire, and answering them you're not from a vault has no result; that's not what's funny. What makes this trait funny is if you play New Vegas with both this mod and Tale of Two Wastelands, which retcons the Courier as being the Lone Wanderer (Fallout 3 protagonist) after a Time Skip. A major reveal in Fallout 3 is that the Lone Wanderer wasn't born in a vault (contrary to what they thought) but was brought inside Vault 101 when they were an infant. In this context, objecting to the bounty hunters calling you "the one from the Vault" doesn't look like an attempt to convince them you're not their right target, but rather like an absurd attempt of hairsplitting in the face of obviously hostile people.
• Game-Breaker: The mod is not balanced in the slightest, resulting in Perks that utterly decimate any sense of balance in the game. The Steel Behind Suits Perk allows the player to give Pre-War clothing the armor rating of Power Armor, decimating the challenge of the Dead Money DLC, while the Friendless Perk summons a miniature Deathclaw who will utterly trash everything in its path, and can be picked from a relatively-low level if the player has no other companions with them when they level up.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The Ranger With a Big Iron trait refers to Marty Robbins' "Big Iron", which is part of the unmodded game's soundtrack (both diegetically and non-diegetically), notably giving a custom revolver named "Big Iron" at character creation. In the unrelated quest mod The North Road, one of the NPCs is a gun vendor who has a line where she complains the song resulted in many people giving the same nickname to their own gun.
• Paranoia Fuel: The High Value Target trait results in squads of hitmen randomly spawning next to the Courier in the outside, usually when fast travelling or leaving a building.
• Squick:
  • In Vanilla, you can drink in toilet bowls. With the Drink to Last! perk, you can fill bottles with toilet water.
  • The PIP-Boy icon for Cancerous Growth features a Vault Boy suffering from a huge tumor swallowing his arm and half of his face.
