So i tried Perkaholic and predictably it just makes the game even easier but i'm somewhat unsatisfied with the perks available in this game and wanted to see if spicing them up made building your character more interesting, but this mod just adds even more cheese. Thing is, many of the basic perks don't seem that useful or it doesn't feel there's much of a choice, a few become redundant over time (like the ones where you get a bonus to some stat at the expense of another, which becomes a net negative once you max out a stat since skills can't go over 20?), some seem detrimental (like boar, which allows to injure people if you bump on them with the horse, which as an Italian driver it is a no no, or that dreadful perk which is just obnoxious. Why would i want my loot to run away?) and over all i'm sort of indifferent to most of them. Some stats i haven't even bothered picking up any perks as there don't seem to be any decent choices and it bothers me to leave all those skills neglected like that, and it's not like something modders can fix it because modders are retarded.
For a future playthough i might use that Perkaholic mod and halve the XP gain for all skills which perhaps might balance things out. Late game is probably going to be a cake walk no matter what i do but the early portion of the game ought to be more interesting. Wish there were some mods to improve the AI, make stealth or crime more difficult etc. I mean the encounter AI is really abysmal sometimes i shoot one in the face and he doesn't even come after me and with 20 stealth i can pretty much run into a camp, choke somebody and people looking straight at me five away don't even notice it (meanwhile they can hear a stealth kill five miles away lmao) i mean come on. Stealth was great in the beginning when but now its as trivial as the rest of the combat is.
