The other games have these descriptions as well. The special stat influences your starting allotment of points toward those skills.

The SPECIAL stuff happened in the older games too, they just added bonuses to associated skills. Unless they completely removed skills and i can no longer make the retarded yet eloquent and strangely charismatic guy.

It would be a shame if the ultra serious franchise Fallout, based on goofy and stupid predictions for the future from 50 years ago, was tainted by having a silly color palette that included shades beyond brown, green and brownish-green.

If they changed skills they probably changed it like Skyrim, where you can't gently caress yourself over by tagging the wrong skills or leveling up with the wrong skills.

how does gta5 have zany colours

Haven't actually played it, just inferring from stuff I've seen. I just prefer a subtler colour palette in general. Think of it like dynamic range for colour. Bright colours are used to signal important things, so having everything be really vibrant actually takes away from the visual impact. Especially given the setting. Imo things like the weathering on display are far more interesting visually, and require far more attention to detail.

hm; if they've simplified the skills down to perk-style ranks i'm not entirely opposed to the idea. seems like it would make more sense in a first person actionj rpg than a system that tries to linearly scale say your gun accuracy with a skill number. could have a similar issue to skyrim though in that every character you make is basically the same, or can potentially be made the same at any point
