Update 1.2.
Please view the Nexus description page for an in-depth description of the changes to each perk. Please also review the porter’s note about compatibility below.
Description copied from Nexus:
HEX is a perk overhaul designed to drastically reduce the power of perks, making the player less overpowered.
HEX rebalances every perk in the game, including perks from quests, companions, magazines and bobbleheads. HEX also forwards any changes from UF04P. This is best used in conjunction with combat mods that increases damage and removes health scaling such as CURSE. If you want more ‘interesting’ perks or perks that make you deal insane damage then this mod is not for you.
PERKS
Perks that nullify basic game mechanics such as limb immunity have been removed or reworked. When starting a new game, you begin with less SPECIAL points (from 28 to 19), however level requirements for ranks have been removed and most perks are condensed into 1-3 ranks. Weapon perks damage bonuses have been replaced with other effects.
COMPANION PERKS
Companion perks have been nerfed and HP/RADS requirements have been removed. Perks now require the companion to be with you for it to be active.
BOBBLEHEAD PERKS
Weapon bobblehead perks changed from critical damage to a small damage bonus. Other bonuses have been reduced.
MAGAZINE PERKS
Combat magazines perks changed from critical damage to a small damage bonus. Other bonuses have been reduced.
QUEST PERKS
Quest perk bonuses have been reduced.
COMPATIBILITY
Obviously not compatible with other perk mods. Best used on a new game.
Porter’s note: Possibly incompatible with mods that require perks to craft items (According to author, update 1.2 should resolve such incompatibilities)
Requirements:
Nuka-World, Far Harbor and Automatron.
