Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Maybe our little Wanamingo-queen should had that ability? To fry brains?

Now that sounds like a good idea, I still don't see why you would waste a perk specifically for one event when it could be changed and used as a requirement for something more useful (making healing powder, stimpacks or explosives, etc.) If you wanted to script psychic attacks you could just bring back the good old psychic nullifier and make the script deal damage to your character and party if the PN is not carried in inventory.

Technically Wiggum & Co. in the master's lair also had psychic stuff, but the psionic nullifier / mental block perk had no effect on that. With the perk, you should be able to block out Hakunin's annoying dreams also :)
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

The dreams were self induced, man. From the memories of the tribe.
That crazy hippy had no special psychic powers.
At least, that's what I like to keep telling myself.

Hmm, Metal Block was a true waste... of course it could have other uses if it were like the other way around and you could feel the minds of others...

Well, FEV and all those other virals in teh air could make mutations and develop certain psyke abilities... I mean even the 50's scientist would agree with that... Just limited and only for a chosen few...
