Bloody Mess

Bloody Mess is a Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics trait, as well as a Fallout 3 perk.

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics
By some strange twist of fate, people around you die violently. You always see the worst way a person can die.

This trait does not alter gameplay other than the fact that you get to see the violent death animations more often. However, it does have an effect on the ending of Fallout.

Note: Bloody Mess has a positive impact if you plan to use the Super Sledge. If someone dies the death is instant instead of first rolling down half of the game screen.

Fallout 3
As traits were completely removed from Fallout 3, Bloody Mess was changed into a perk.
 * Requirements: Level 6
 * Ranks: 1
 * Benefit: Aside from people around you always dying violently, you’ll also do 5% extra damage with all weapons.

In the German version, which is free of all blood and physical sundering, there is no change in the battle and death animations.
