Forum:A small tip

Don't know if it's mentioned or not, but theoretically, it is utterly useless to raise any skill past 40 unless absolutely necessary - with the Bobbleheads and Skill Books available. However, I'm not a min-maxer and I play the game the way I want to instead of the way that's the best, so if anyone has a lot of time to waste to be the best at everything, then go for it.

 * Keep in mind that you skills don't start at 0 they range from 11-33 when you start the game.

yeah i noticed that too. but i went over the math if comming out of teh vault you have 9 intel you get 19 points, then go right for the bobble head, for 2 more levels you gain 20 points(59 so far) at level 4 you gain the educated perk, for the last 16 levels you gain 23 points per level(368points) you'll have a total of 427 points to send out over 13 skills you'll add 32 skill points to each skill. Which result (If you get all books in the game before level 20, with the comperenstion perk) in your game corrupting. if you wait till level 20 to get all skill books you'll be consuming them with no point gain. You'll have an extra 174 points to spread out. (8 levels) at 23 skill points per level currently half the books in teh game are worthless. and really if you don't set all your skills to 40 at leaste you'll never hit 100 to all of them(i'm currnelty trying to get to 100 on all skills and it sucks, i lost count of which books i've consumed and which i havn't. I really hope my game doesn't glitch on a quest again.)

Now lets say you don't get the educated perk you'll only have 379(a lost of 48 points) points to spread out giving 29 skill points to each skill. This works out to going over around 134 points (6 levels).

For all the books to be worth wile you'd have to make your intel 3(4 at bobble head) at the start of the game.

If i remeber correctly on the third DLC, they're adding new skills as well as 10 more levels to the game. at 23 points per level they have to add another 4 skills to the game -without getting new books- to make the current books worth while. I for one don't see how any new skills can be added to the game.

Anyways i hope someone takes somthing new away from this. I'm going book hunting. --NeoScott 04:12, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
