[RELZ] Better Perk Descriptions

Post » Fri Feb 18, 2011 7:27 pm

Some of the descriptions of perks in vanilla are annoyingly vague. This mod changes those descriptions; e.g., to tell you that such-and-such a perk adds x% to your critical hit chance. That's all it does. I'm 99% sure that the figures are correct. Please let me know if you discover any that are not.

This mod changes lots of Perks directly, though only the description. Therefore it WILL conflict with mods which change any vanilla perks. I suggest you load it very early so as not to lose the intended effects of other mods - definitely before any overhaul mods or mods which you know affect perks.

I like detailed info :nod:

And the way to avoid conflicts is to use Wrye Flash. This plugin can be merged into the Bashed Patch, and thus will only overwrite the Perk descriptions. Of course if used with overhaul mods the info might be incorrect.

Yes, I use Wrye Flash, and this mod will show up as mergeable into the bashed patch, but as you say, that means it will override later changes by mods which can't be merged. I reckon it's better just to leave it activated normally and let it be overridden...
