Any word on the Cannibal perk making a comeback?

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:34 am

Like the title says, I was wondering if it's been confirmed or denied (haven't seen anything in my searches) about being able to play a Cannibal. In Fallout 3, the perk had no real advantage, but with hardcoe mode making it so you have to eat, sometimes out in the wasteland, people do things they're not proud of to survive. :)

Intact Garden Gnome confirmed this with his picture showing the Statistics screen and it listing "Corpses Eaten".

Were not sure how it will comeback as, a perk/trait/another mechanic you can use at anytime. I hope it ties in well with the survival skill, but ithink there was another thread for this, so I'd check that out also.

But just like the White Rabbit said its seems its coming back.

I hope (once again) that they make it a relevant feature instead of a "cool on paper, useless in the game" feature.

Doesn't really make much sense that you need a perk to eat people. That is, unless your character throws up every time they eat people and need the perk to stomach it. It's a shame you couldn't just collect Strange Meat with the perk. That would have made getting money from Little Lamplight pretty simple. People probably would have complained about god- this god- that even more though.

I don't understand why it needs to be a perk. We can eat animals no problem but for humans we need a perk? By that logic we need a perk to get food from the animals we kill. We have a survival skill. Eating animals and humans should fall under that. Should just be able to eat humans without a perk.
