Secret Benefits of Perks in FO3 & FNV

Many perks in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas do more than the in-game description says they do. Jeff finds and demos them with a little help from the GECK.
Apparently tags don't actually do anything these days, so here's a list of themes, features, characters, locations, and items to let the algorithm know what's in this video.
Fallout (video game series), Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, walkthrough, demo, bug, glitch, perks, GECK, Animal Friend, Cannibal, Contract Killer, Entomologist, Fast Metabolism, Gun Nut, Impartial Mediation, Lawbringer, Life Giver, Master Trader, Robotics Expert, Scoundrel, Toughness

[@doomslayer1841]

It's likely that the yao guais are in the base game but do not have a programmed spawn, since New Vegas is practically made of 90% recycled content from Fallout 3

[@Ashen_Night116]

@@doomslayer1841 They are not, you cannot find a single scripted spawn in the base game for Yao Guai, they don't magically add them in even if you have the DLC. You could do that fight a million times, and you will NEVER find a Yao Guai in there because it is physically impossible for it to spawn there or anywhere in the base game. They're exclusively a Honest Hearts enemy and you won't ever find them anywhere else, the only actual reference you can find to them before Honest Hearts is in the Legate's war tent with a singular piece of Yao Guai meat.

Lawbringer has an additional unlisted benefit: taking the perk causes a unique Raider, Junders Plunkett, to spawn inside the house in Arlington Cemetery. His unique finger can be turned in for 1,000 caps, and he has a unique variant of Spiked Knuckles, called Plunkett’s Valid Points.

Here's another few unnamed bonuses I've discovered over the years, these aren't dialogue related: The Fortune Finder perk can affect the amount of Sierra Madre Chips you find in Dead Money when the perk mentions only bottle caps. For some bizarre reason, the Scrounger perk increases the amount of Pork n' Beans you can get from three containers in Lonesome Road, even though it says it only affects ammunition.

[@AceOfBlackjack]

[@AceOfBlackjack]

@@oneblacksun But is also why it pops up more as a ammo.

[@Hopper31]

​@@AceOfBlackjack Not sure where you got that information from, the Rock-It Launcher can not load Pork n' Beans. The Rock-It Launcher's ammo list is "RockItLauncherAmmo", it contains 112 total items in the base game, all of which are misc items. Point Lookout later adds the brain jar to the ammo list, and Mothership Zeta later adds the alien crystals and Buttercup toy. This list is included in New Vegas as legacy content, but is entirely unmodified. Even if it could load it, it would not deal any additional damage as the game settings controlling damage bonuses are zeroed out, those settings being "fRockitDamageBonusWeightMult", and "fRockitDamageBonusWeightMin" in particular. The Scrounger bonus to Pork n' Beans in Lonesome Road is specifically a new leveled list called "NVDLC04PorknBeansScrounger", it is not dynamic like later games, so this is not a weird "it's technically ammo" oversight, this was an explicit choice by whoever made it.

One other feature of the cannibal perk in New Vegas is in the dead money dlc where you can ask dog what the ghost people taste like and after going through the dialogue you can get a perk that makes it so that you don’t have to blow the limbs off the ghost people to kill them anymore, it’s entirely useless once finishing the dlc but it’s still a cool feature.

[@lethalflailfist]

What's cool is that all the lines received from perk dialogue selections are unique in 3, unlike New Vegas where most (not all) responses are the same as passing the equivalent skill/special check. Makes sense that their are so many perk lines in Blood Ties given how charismatic you have to be to complete it the best way. Personally, I just save scum Vance's hard speech checks. He's annoying to pickpocket too. 12:45 She literally has strange meat pies in her Kitchen. 24:07 Got to love the misaligned iron sights.

With Animal Friend, there totally might be some kind of glitch with the companion system. I have had NCR companions, from using the radio, follow me to The Sink and all sorts of other places they shouldn't be. You'd know better than me, I haven't pulled back the curtain of the game. But I could totally see there being some crossed wires with Animal Friend and the companion system causing problems.

[@combinecommando001]

Animal friend lvl 2 is extremely good in Honest Hearts with the amount of Yao Guai in the area as well as Old World Blues since it also affects the Nightstalkers. It's not a pointless perk point spent but lvl 1 is usually enough as it is for the most part. Both for the dialog option it offers as well as avoiding combat with bothersome powerful creatures. Since NV greatly benefits from Speech and Barter, having high charisma is hardly a loss there.

[@jojonono2679]

I guess I've been taking rank 2 of Animal friend for no reason... Good video

[@FredCDobbs-rd5wi]

I'll have to re-check this myself, but I was certain that the second rank of the Animal Friend perk in New Vegas would cause the Legion's own mongrels to turn on their masters if the Legionnaires were aggro'ed against the Courier. That is, the mongrels would start out neutral but suddenly become allies of the player once the shooting started. If you only had the first rank, then the Legion's mongrels wouldn't attack, at least not initially, but could still be aggro'ed if you got into a fight with the Legion. Or am I misremembering that?

[@danielsurvivor1372]

Not sure but even if they can turn against their masters then it's still pretty shite mate. There's very few places where this would help you. Nelson has Legion Mongrels and, Fort has A mongrel, as in, one mongrel. Lanius was supposed to have two hounds helping him but they were never fully implemented so no use there. Legion assassin's don't use them or atleast I never saw em use them. OH, Nipton has Vulpes and his gang have like 2 mongrels with them plus tons of them inside Nipton townhall... So yeah, not very useful either way 😅

[@AceOfBlackjack]

Yeah, it got patched with dead money.

[@WozzieCap]

With the Robotics Expert perk you can also shut down all the robots on the enclave mobile base crawler in broken steel via the computer on the upper levels

[@coenisgreat]

I always take Animal Friend level 2 because of the fact that it brings Nightstalkers to your side. While they're not too frequent an appearance in the base game, it effectively gives you some allies in Old World Blues because they're opposed to the cyberdogs and robo scorpions, the former of which aren't affected by the perk, effectively creating a little faction conflict in Big Mountain.

[@osalpeve]

Nice channel, congrats 4 4k subs

[@AbolishYTHandles]

Good video! Also, if you ever decide to do a sequel video focusing on the DLCs, I know there is unique dialogue with Ulysses in the Lonsome Road DLC if you have the Explorer perk.

[@princetoontema2440]

With the dialogue with Marjorie and Mortimer, you can still say those options, only it says beforehand. I think the latter requires a speech check though

[@morganpriest7726]

I really hope that things like this return for a fallout 5

[@danielsurvivor1372]

4:33 It's not a big loss considering how ez it is to make mulla... But it is a sort of shame it's not in game because it's a rare Charisma perk, and NV has almost no charisma perks let alone good one's so having this one could atleast add SOME variety.

13:02 She has strange meat pies in her kitchen meaning she's either pretending to be creeped out by Courier by fails at it or Devs oversight Idk man my character didn't have cannibal perk and yet she could still say it to Marjorie

[@mindaugassolys1963]

Most likely devolopers oversight. They scrambled whatever they could find as props and called it a day due to time constrains. Another good example of this is secret bunker in Charleston Cave, where you'd find edible fruits and clean, not radioactive water simply laying in shelves, while the bunker itself was built during the great war.

[@tinkerer3399]

A few other options for what it could mean. First the strange meat item doesnt necessarily have to mean human flesh. Could just mean an unidentified type of meat since she is after unqiue foods. Secondly she could have tried long pork but didnt like the taste. Hence she's not weirded out that you ate people, she's weirded out that you liked it.

[@RebelGiga]

Literally had an odd situation where in FalloutNV a random Deathclaw would just show up and attack. (No animal friend perk so it must be the odd spawns) I've been attacked at Red canyon, The tip of Black Mountain, and even the powder ganger camps mear Salon.

The bear and stampede should be a mod in and of itself with the perk. It’s too perfect

[@DrEReesman]

Jane Wilkins has another form of the Cannibal response that you can tell her, but it's related to a add-on perk to Cannibal. I think it's about eating ghouls and some other stuff, but it might be different things all together.

[@Lucifronz]

I knew about the Animal Friends perk Rank 2 being virtually useless in Fallout 3 from information on the wiki from at least 10 years back. Probably longer. They made it more useful in Fallout 4 with one of the workshop DLCs that gives cages since you need it to have tamed animals as pets in your settlement. Considering they boost defense and can help with your aesthetics, it's not a bad reason to take the various ranks in the perks if you like settlement-building, but I never prioritize it. I'd rather focus on things like Gun Nut to boost my turret options.
