Forum:An Interesting Discovery with the Skilled Trait

So, I made a very interesting discovery with the Skilled Trait from Old World Blues on the PS3. If you take this trait in Doc Mitchell's office during the character creation phase, and then the trait is later removed from your character, it appears that you keep the skill points, and the trait will also not be listed. My current character, I took the trait during character creation, and then left Goodsprings and when the time came to rebuild my character I elected to do so and I was able to take the trait AGAIN and get double the benefits (+10 points per skill), but only the standard EXP loss.

I also noted that if you make a new character, and take the skilled trait, and then delete the game data (removing the patch that allows OWB to run) you will keep the skill points, but lose the EXP penalty and the trait will not be listed in your pipboy.

I haven't tried this to see if it works for the trait respec that you can take during OWB, but I'd presume that it does.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just my senile mind playing tricks on me? 207.245.200.54 08:09, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
