L (+13) Īfter already accounting for Educated and with INT at 10 you are left with 15 points per level for 19 more levels with (19 * 15) = +285. Remember: You will need 6 Endurance for 6 implants. Only the implants that affect SPECIAL will raise skill points.

Note: This covers ALL of the perks you will get through level 20. Remember: Distribute elsewhere if a skill is already at 9, implants will take each to 10 later on. Mix 4 more among E ndurance, C harisma, or A gility since P and I are maxed, S only controls 1 skill, and Luck will be maxed out skill wise via implant. I recommend 3 for P erception (with an Implant and Four Eyes will max to ten) since that controls three skills (3*2*3 = +18). This is the only other perk that will grant you more skill points via SPECIAL. Taking Comprehension before you read ANY skill books will net you an extra +52 (1*13*4) skill points (assuming 4 skill books per skill). Taking Educated at level 4 will net you a total of +32 skill points until level 20. Tag three skills (does not matter which I don't think) for another +45Īssuming 4 skill books per skill (4*3*13= +156) This will add +10 skill points [PER(6) = 2 Ener + 2 Lock + 2 Expl) + (AGL(4) = 2 Guns + 2 Sneak) Luck at 9 will give the max of +5 to all skills, but that can be taken care of with an Implant later on, leaving more room to play with other skills via SPECIAL or Intense Training.Īdd the two traits (Although you need to constantly find and wear glasses to keep you perception at 6 instead of 4 before any Intense Training or Implant). Strength only controls Melee whereas Charisma controls Speech and Barter, resulting in a difference of 22(i.e. I think you chose to lower the wrong stat.Īlso, all skills initially start at 2, so don't forget the extra (13*2)= +26 points] NOTE: This character configuration makes the game extra hard when playing on Hardcore mode especially at the beginning of the game!

Now to my question, are my analysis correct and you cannot max out your character Abilities and Skills or am I missing something? Since we know we can only get 517 skill points in the game that makes us short of 344 skill points.

With all that you still need 861 skill points to max out your character. You will gain additional 16 skill points to each skill with the exception of Explosives from skill books. With the following stats all skills will start at 17 with the exception of Barter and Speech which will be at 9 and Medicine which will me at 27. Now with these base stats you get the following skill points Ħ0 Skill points for the first 4 levels until you get the Educated Perk.ġ5 Skill points for the Tag Skill perk if you choose to take it. Now you can improve your SPECIAL stats in the following ways ĮND: +1 Perk (Intense Training) +1 Implant STR 5, PER 5, END 5, CHA 1, INT 10, AGL 5, LUK 9 (Same as 10 when it comes to skill points)
