Critical hits
A concerned wastelander:
Somethings need to be changed about critical hits, that is for sure.
1- Armors should offer protection against crits.
2- If not removed, maximum hit chance for the eyes location should be reduced (from 95% to 75-80% for exemple).
3- Insta kill must be removed, they are really annoying and appart frustrations, i really dont see what they bring to the game.
4- Locations critical chances should be lowered (95% critical chances in the eyes is too much).

Insta kill has only ever been decreased.

To put it another way, do you think stat requirements for perks lead to more or less diverse character builds? Or would it just lead to more extreme minmaxing? I don't know the answer, but I'd be interested to try.

Requirements are pretty much just what mood I was in when I did those, they weren't really ready for posting, but I thought I might aswell have a talk about what I was up to.
I personally favour lower reqs. Maybe they'd get so low you didn't need any SPECIAL reqs at all :/

All of those except the insta kill would be fixed by a Crit Mod factor on armours and helmets. Insta kill is in the originals, its so low of a chance - and with extra options to make it even more rare - that I don't think completely taking away something that was in the originals is needed.

Looking at the perks table I can't see anything that would be incredibly gamebreaking if it was accessible to everyone of that level, or nearly everyone. To prevent the absolutely ridiculous, like a 1 IN char taking educated, the perk requirements for everything potentially be halved. So instead of 6 IN you'd need 3. Although, part of me thinks that if someone can make a halfway decent character with 1 IN and Educated, good luck to them.
Sarakin:
I dont agree with removing perk requirements. Face it, we got good perks and bad perks. Good perks such as BROF or BC require high SPECIAL, while bad perks (Explorer...) require none. Without requirements, all would just pick good perks and never ever bother to pick worse, because they wouldnt be forced to do that. Requirements add diversity in creating character and Id like to see this trend in new perks.

This is another bad concept imo. Less perks means more variety in builds. I can see it on new servers that rose after releasing SDK. Characters have 10+ perks and there is almost no difference between them. Everyone has everything, even sniper and big gunner have the same perks.

You're wrong. It's because these server have 10 total perks at level cap, but only 10 "good" perks! So obviously, everyone have the same... With what Solar is showing us, if there are, let's say, 4 crits perks, 5 anti crit, 2 resistances perks, 2 Hp perks, 3 DPS perks, 2 AC perks, or even more, more perks slots will also allow more combinations, specialized fighetrs or more general ones.
