Forum:Fallout 1 & 2 perks: Article question

I've noticed that the original ingame description for the Perks in FO1 & FO2 are "missing", maybe intentional? if not, i would add the descriptions. I don't see why they shouldn't be added, but i guess double checking in the forum doesn't hurt.

Any thoughts on this?

Should i put the description in the infoboxes or right in the article?

You should definitely put the descriptions in the perk articles ;)

And please put them in the actual article content, not the infobox. I personally suggest using the template. There's an example of this template at this linked page. ;) -- Ghouly89 (Talk) 01:53, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, another question: some In-game descriptions are phrased differently in FO2, example for Awareness:


 * "With Awareness, you are given detailed information about any critter you examine. You see their exact hit points and information about any weapon they are equipped with."

In FO1 it's:


 * "You are more likely to notice details about people. Awareness will give more detailed information about them when you perform an Examine."

Personally, i would prefer to include both, but the FO1 & FO2 perks are generally merged, so i think it'll clutter up the article. Which one should have the priority? Ryzawy 13:21, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd say they should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In this instance, the FO2 description is more precise about what the perk actually does, so I'd say that one should be used. Hal10k(Leonard Bernstein!) 17:27, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, this seems like good idea. Added to Awareness :) Ryzawy 19:09, January 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I would put the more detailed descriptions in the quotation header at the top of the page, but I would still like all other game descriptions to be placed in the "notes" section of the article. ;) -- Ghouly89 (Talk) 22:16, January 28, 2011 (UTC)
