Quick question about perks per level

[pekoms]

Hi all, started playing TTW 3.3.1 w Hotfix 1 and noticed I was gaining a perk every level. I checked my load order, which is very minimal; (Stewie, Just Assorted Mods, Essential Caravans, Quickstart, FPGE, Desert Natural Weathers TTW, and a NV Style speech check for the FO3 side of things)

To make a long story short, was this done by the TTW team; and if so, was it for balance purposes, as I've never played through ttw before, or was it done in order to allow a wider variety of experimentation with builds?

BTW, this is in no way has hampered my enjoyment of this wonderful mod, I was just curious about it, plus I've already created a "patch" to change it back to one perk every other level but wanted to make sure I wasn't unintentionally handicapping myself lol.

Thanks in advance!

Normal mode uses Fallout 3 settings for several things like levels per perk and VATS damage taken. Hardcore mode uses the FNV settings.
