Alright, here’s a good system that I think is suitable for UII, it’s adapted from a Stalker mod called Dead Air, which is considered by many to be the second most intensive and hardcore modification behind a mod called MISERY (which you can probably guess from the name).
Essentially how this works is there is a ticket or point system in the character creation menu. On the right is a list of equipment and additional skills that the player can obtain, by using said points. The player starts with 100 points. These ‘bonuses’ range from a basic set of equipment:
Which has a sawed-off shotgun, 20 rounds of buckshot, a basic suit, a cowl, a flashlight, and what I believe is a newspaper for tinder and a book of matches. The kit costs 30 points.
To a set for artifact hunting (artifacts are anoumalous, very valuable objects found in Stalker), which costs 40 points.
This kit contains a gasmask, a lead-lined container for artifacts, a dosimeter that measures radiation, again, what I believe to be newspaper, and finally a Bear type artifact detector.
The skills, all of which cost 10 points each, range from Inventor, which allows for the player to automatically start with some advanced crafting recipes; and Attentiveness, which allows for better perception and searching times.
I might actually make a post on this soon.
