Free script merging mod
T3nd0’s Perkus Maximus is a free mod created for Skyrim. It overhauls the game’s perks, gameplay, and skills to give you a completely new experience. The mod has a wide range of weapon types, armors, skills, and spells. The way you push your perks will heavily affect gameplay, in contrast to the Vanilla Skyrim version.
Mods like Immersive Armors, Immersive Weapons, Archery Gameplay Overhaul, and Ordinator – Perks of Skyrim together can offer a similar experience that Perkus Maximus gives. Also known as PerMa (Perkus Maximus), is known to be a problematic mod to download and install. If you’re new to mods, a combination of the above mods might be the better entry point.
Effect of perks on gameplay
The way you proceed with perk upgrading changes the way you play. Pursuing different perks will give you different gameplay. This isn’t prominent in the Vanilla version of Skyrim. Perkus Maximus focuses on giving players more perk-dependent gameplay. Moreover, the new perk additions offer a whole new host of spells, weapons, and more.
What’s new
As a result of more perks, you get many new spells, weapon skills, overhauled skills system, and more. The way you proceed with leveling your character up, whether it’s a Warrior, Mage, Thief, or Assassin, is different from how you level up in the Vanilla version. In PerMa, you have to pursue perks and skills that will help you advance as the character you chose.
For example, if you’re a Mage, it’s pointless to have Mage perks with no spells. If you’re a Warrior, without decent combat mechanics, having great Warrior perks is redundant. This was one of the features added to make sure that perks affect gameplay. With the new perks, there are now a total of 200 spells with Perkus Maximus.
Perks of playing
Overall, this mod is incredibly impressive. It offers a whole new experience to players familiar with Skyrim. You can see that a lot of work was put into Perkus Maximus. The new perks, spells, skills, various functionalities provide you with player-dependent gameplay. It’s a great mod, but the installation is a bit of a hassle.
