Level 2 Perks

Black Widow/Lady Killer: Grants +10% damage against the opposite gender and occasional unique dialogue options. While the damage bonus is present, the dialogue uses are limited and can often be achieved through other means.

Daddy's Boy/Daddy's Girl: Awards +5 to Science and Medicine skills. This perk is generally not recommended, as the skill increase is minor and not worth a perk slot, especially the Medicine skill.

Gun Nut: Provides +5 to Small Guns and Repair skills per rank (3 ranks total). This is a skill perk with useful skills, making it a better choice than some others.

Intense Training: Allows placing one point into any S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attribute per rank (10 ranks total). In vanilla Fallout 3, this was useful, but with the Broken Steel DLC and the 'Almost Perfect' perk, it becomes largely worthless.

Little Leaguer: Grants +5 to Melee Weapons and Explosives skills per rank (3 ranks total). This perk is generally considered undesirable.

Swift Learner: Awards an additional 10% to total Experience Points earned per rank (3 ranks total). While it can speed up leveling, the benefit is minimal compared to simply playing the game, and it's often taken due to a lack of better options at certain levels. The game rounding up experience provides a small, consistent bonus.

Thief: Grants a bonus of +5 to Sneak and Lockpick skills per rank (3 ranks total). While these are useful skills, the perk itself is often considered underwhelming.
