COMPATIBILITY

Should be compatible with everything. Place this mod after others in the load list.


WHY?

I am a person who can't understand Bethesda's logic in a matter of ballistic, energy, you name it, weapons. I can understand when your unarmed or melee damage increasing with growing of your stats (strength, for instance). I also can understand meaning of vanilla perks such as Ninja, Mister Sandman (you know where you must hit to deal more injures).

Also, I recall Fallout 1/2 where were a few Perks which increase your damage (FYI,  max +10% damage). Most of weapon related Perks were intend to increase your accuracy only.

Later, I love playing with unlevelled enemies mods. When such a mod is enabled you gain more variety of enemies. I should also note that I prefer when enemies may be weak in one encounter, but in the next one you will deal with strongest enemy in the game.

I have found at Nexus a few mods, which do the same thing as this mod do: Automatic Boring Perks and Double Weapon Damage. But I dislike their implementations.
