This perk doesn't exist in the G.E.C.K. but there are a few uses for it hidden in the game's code and proves that the perk was planned. May be because there are very few children in Fallout: New Vegas, the perk was not implanted in the game.
Bitter Springs Refugees
Regardless of which greeting you hear, you will receive Barnabas Bear.

"The man with the spiky hat comes into camp at night." "I say. Would you like some of this absolutely delightful confection I found? I've been grazing on it all day." "I like you. Will you take Barnabas Bear to New Vegas when you go?" "Did you know ants can get *this* big?" "I saw snake puppies in the hills." |
