Wasteland Survival Guide skill checks [spoilers]

This will be highly spoilerish, be warned.

I was doing a playthrough with TTW where I began the game in New Vegas, not DC.

After level 12 I traveled to DC and started the WSG quest with Moira.

There are two skill checks that TTW implement in the quest.

In the first chapter you can teach Moira about radiation if your medicine is somewhat good enough and in the second chapter you can teach her about injures if your survival skill meet the conditions.

I used the two skill checks but in the end didn't get the Survival Guru perk, only the Survival Expert one.

For the way FO3 is constructed I already guessed that passing the skill checks would not grant me the whole assignment being marked as completed, as if I performed the main and optional assignments, but I did it anyway for testing purposes.

Shouldn't passing the skill checks grant me the whole assignment being completed, as if I have performed the main assignment and the optional condition?

I mean, my survival skill was pretty high at that point (70 or 80), as well my medicine (55 points).

If this wasn't the intention of the checks and they only serve as a means to "speed" the quest, how about a second option, with really high requirements to achieve the whole assignment being completed?

Let's say 75 survival and 70 medicine?

TTW did not put those checks there.They were always there in Fallout 3.It was just unlikely you'd have a high enough skill for em with how early in the game that quest is.

There is also a similar option if your science is high enough or you have Robotics Expert perk you can by pass going to Rob Co.

These are all vanilla checks which is why I typically wait and do the quest much later in game

There are multiple stat checks, check for if you did some other side quests like the superhuman gambit and many other things. Fallout 3 has a lot of depth people have no idea is there.

Good Lord, always played FO3 and never in my life I saw those checks!

Always though TTW implemented them, good to know.

Oh yeah, unlike other people I don't think FO3 is a PoS game, much on the contrary.

I like FNV much, much more, but FO3 is not a bad game by a long shot.

The bad one is reserved to FO4.
