PC If wellness was to return.

I thought the way wellness worked was a brilliant mechanic, but with the new perk system it is a thing of the past.

I think wellness should return, but this would mean the effects of fortitude and agility would need to change, and I have an idea of this change.

For Agility, it increases your mobility, +2, +4, +6, +8, +10, +12, +14, +17, +20. For a potential 120% total if there's nothing lowering your mobility stat.

For Fortitude, it lowers whole damage you take per hit (not in %). 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10. So for example, if you have no armour rating with level 10 fortitude and take a hit worth 40 damage, you'll take 30 instead. This applies before other reductions. So for example, level 10 fortitude with 60 armour rating, you take a hit worth 40 damage, it gets lower to 30, then lowered again to 12. Without any fortitude, you would take 16 damage.

I also think maximum wellness should be 150 since by the time you reach 150, you'll be godlike.

I'd like to know what others think :)

 
A interesting system with depth that could have a positive affect on gameplay? Get outta here! :p

Bring back the wellness hit on death too, that made death actually mean something.

 
Like the ideas, sadly fallout doesnt have a wellness system... so no point in arguing.
I laughed. So true...

The relation of agility to stamina makes no sense. Why one earth would being more agile give you more stamina? Agility should affect movement. It would be nice if at max agility, you could backpedal or sidestep as fast as you can walk forward.

It all feels wonky and forced, like the Pimps committed to having a 5-point stat system and THEN decided how they were going to cram their various progression upgrades into it. All in the vain glory of emulating a failed RPG.

This will re-add to the looking after of your characters eating habits etc and make dying more punishing than how it currently is. Having 70 wellness in A17 would be brutal indeed!

Ugh!

Can you imagine trying to mine with 70 wellness?

I disagree. Agility makes perfect sense for this.
