Forum:Picking Educated and/or Comprehension

With Dead Money and Honest Hearts being released the level was raised from 30 to 40, so now we have more perks available to choose, some of wich are very good for a specialized build (Grunt, Tribal Wisdom, Fight the Power!, And Stay Back, Heavyweight and Light Touch, for example). Most of the cited perks also have low skill requirements or are level dependent, meaning they can be easely picked.

But this made me think: Educated and Comprehension are still worthed? I know that a lot of people like to have 100% skills and wish to level faster, I have nothing against it, but with more levels available this also means you are not hard pressed for skill points, since there are more available for building your character. For example, I can now afford to pick Comfirmed Bachelor/Lady Killer for my male character - yes, he swing both ways, as well my female build ;) - and Living Anatomy. In combination, this will result in doing more 15% damage against males and females foes (in HH Lady Killer helps a lot).

My build have 7 inteligence, wich means he will be able to gain 540 points in 40 levels, not counting the implants, tagged skills, armor boosts, books, etc. This build is an ex-infantry men and was ranked as soldier when in the army. After leaving the army he worked as a mercenary, caravan guard and body guard. When working as a body guard he learned that not always your guns resolve everything, albeit this is the fast way to do it. Since working as a mercenary and caravan guard he learned that survival is a very efficient thing to learn. And he is always hardcore to the bone. So this is it, he will have a high skill with guns (100%), a high barter (70%), a high survival (75%) and a high speech (75%). I'm not planning go with snipers, it will be grunt, so my sneak at best will have 50% if I have the points to spare.

What do you people think, do I need Educated/Comprehension? Brfritos 01:49, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

You make a good point, but I would still get comprehension for the magazines. Your not going to be at 100 the whole game, so early on the mags will help.Pappy002 07:40, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
