ghoulish
THE most worthless perk in the game.

I never use VATS so....

I was about to say VANS but at least rank 2 provides a stat boost...

So Refractor/Rad Resistant, investing 5 levels into such meager benefits is insulting! I feel insulted!!

Pickpocket is meme tier but I did a playthrough with rank 4 where I'd steal all unique outfits and it was fun so Pickpocket can stay in the team

Cannibal and ghoulish, prolly. Or more likely anything specific to Power Armor use beyond the energy perk but I use that for settlement power.

The critical damage perks. By level 60 you are a demigod of destruction walking the wastes slaying those unworth of Mr Pebbles love so it's a bit of overkill to add critical damage perks on top of it.

I like ghoulish. Paired with solar powered, it makes a you a radiation eating immortal god.

But for me, pretty much everything in the luck tree. I've never taken a point in any of it.
As well as:
-VANS
-Lead Belly
-Party Boy
-attack Dog
-Insipration
-Pain Train
-Lifegiver
-Rad Resistant
-Chem Resistant
-Night Person
-Toughness
-Refractor
-lady killer/ whatever Noras version is called.

I think those are the only ones that I literally have never taken.

i will never ever pick the power Armor running one its pointless

Oh, wow. Maybe I need to revisit it's mechanics.

I thought the Ghoulish mod did what the perk was 'supposed' to do.

IIRC, the main issue was that the benefits from the perk wasn't a good return for the point investment. Seems like the main argument against it was, the plentfulness of Stimpacks, Radaway and a number of other things to get rid of rads and gain HP.

It more useful on survival. And only really late game. If you're doing a rush game, with not too much side content, its worthless. But assuming you're playing the a long, full game. Thats kind of where it shines. It alot of faster than stims or radaway on survival. With none of the negatives that you get from using them. Maybe not the best use of points, but I find it a very nice QoL/survival combo.

If you play with power armor, its actually fun!!!!

Get those ghoul swarms coming at you? Run AT THEM!! Knock them all down, breaking arms and legs in the process...

Even better with Tesla coils... you just flat out kill most of them.

I have taken all the perks at one point or another over the years and depending on the character build..

But generally I don't play with power armour, so I usually don't take any of those perks.

Nuka-Grape does it for zero perk points.
