Forum:Max out skills and SPECIAL?

So in FO3 GOTY you can max all skills to 100 and have all SPECIAL @ 10. Is that going to be a possability in NV? I did some calculation in my head and it looks like you won't be able to max out all SPECIAL, but what about skills? --207.235.48.162 12:43, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

with skill books and perks you can always make 100% skills in F3. there are no bobbles in NV but I'm willing to bet that you can still max at least the skills you choose at the start. I am level 10 in NV atm and have 50-60 points in at least 5 skills. Considering that you level to 30 in NV I would assume that you can make it 100% in at least the important skills.


 * Skill books seem to be very rare in New Vegas, I'm nearly done with my first playthrough and only found a handful of books. Some of the skill magazines are fairly rare as well. At level 28 I have yet to get any skill to 100%.

not sure about special but with the perk that allows you to add to it I guess its possible

No, you can't max out your SPECIAL, and there's only enough skill points/books available to max out 5-7 skills. Thankfully, Obsidian made sure it wasn't possible to be good at everything this time around. Schneidend 15:31, October 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Can you get "Almost Perfect" in NV? If so, you can take that, then get implants for everything else, therefore maxing pout your S.P.E.C.I.A.L.--With care and happiness,  Supermutantslayer450'  YOU. LOSE.  15:33, October 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Obsidian had the good sense to send the "Almost Perfect" perk to the darkest depths of hell where it belongs. Perks like that are clearly why there isn't a perk/feat system in The Elder Scrolls games: Bethesda can't come up with any good ones. Schneidend 15:50, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

I think you could come VERY close to a perfect character with the right starting build, perks, temp items, and traits. For instance, start with something like this: S=5 P=5 E=9 C=5 I=9 A=5 L=2. Take the small frame trait for the extra 1 agility, and you can get all of the implants to give you 6/6/10/6/10/6/3 (thanks to high endurance). As you level up, you will be getting the max HP and skill points (and with +skills perks it gets even better!) With the 10 levels of SPECIAL boosts you can get up to something like this: 9/9/10/6/10/9/4. Add brotherhood t51 power armor and helmet for extra STR and CHA points, and you can switch out the helmet with Recon beret for +1 PER and the 5 crit (like having 5 more luck) if desired. If you ever need max attribute for a situation, do the following: STR=Wear Brotherhood t-51 armor. PER=any hat. CHA=Duster armor + Brotherhood t-51 Helmet (+2 cha) and take some Party Time Mentats (+2 more). Agility=Most Pre-war clothes. Luck=(not really going to happen, but you can wear +critical stuff or Sexy Sleepwear for +1 point). With food and other drugs you can achieve this without the equipment and experiment on your own. However, I'm fairly sure the high early END and INT are going to be required. NEVER MAX YOUR SKILLS WHILE LEVELING. Keep them in the 70s and use magazines to get to 80. Whenever 100 is needed, use a perk-boosted skill mag for the extra 20. Hope this helps! (CrimsnRoc) 67.8.128.242 04:40, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
