A more important question, is the guide wrong and can you gently caress Mr Handy?

Having sex with your domestic servant would be unethical.

If health gains from endurance happen at level-up, min/maxers probably won't want to use endurance as a dump stat like I am, though.

Let's be honest, Fallout 3 and NV were not very hard even on the highest difficulty so I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with only 1 endurance. I mean the water breathing perk sounds cool but I hate swimming in video games.

yes bobble heads are in

While we're on the subject, do we know if there will be bobbleheads beyond the SPECIAL stat ones? There is no more skill leveling, but early pictures do show the bobblehead stand having 20 slots total. I'm already sad about there being no more skillbooks. Less bobbleheads would be icing on the cake.

There are apparently non-SPECIAL bobbleheads that give perks that's not on the giant perk board. Magazines are also supposed to give unique perks.

I'd assume most shotguns are 2 handed, non-automatic, so they would be governed by perception.

Nope. I was uninstalling a few things on my SSD and I noticed something patching and clicked over and it was Fallout. My max size was 28.7g yesterday, 28.8g now. Don't know what happened.

The list of all bobbleheads was linked.. And yes not all of them are SPECIAL. Looks like one for each SPECIAL and then a bunch of other stuff.

Will we be able to max out special? I get you can collect the bobble heads and I'm sure there is an intense training perk. Anyone know if we'll get to pay to increase like Vegas or gain more from quests?

Instead of spending a point on a perk at level up, you can increase a SPECIAL. Someone said earlier in the thread bobbleheads can make SPECIAL go over 10

They just used the skills from fallout 3 for the bobblehead names. The repair bobblehead in fallout 4 just increases fusion core duration by 10%. I can't find the image I linked earlier about what each one does.

You pick what you level up. You can eventually take all the perks if you get to level 380 something but looking at streamers it looks like people are gonna go to around 50 or 60 or so by the end of the game and so you do have to pick what perks you take and it does matter what perks you take in what order.

oh cool, I was worried the SPECIAL was going to be more or less locked in at the start like the last games (except for bobbleheads and the cybernetics in NV). The option to choose to either take a perk or add a special point at level up is brilliant.

Also, have any of the streams leaked any of the licenced music? I'd love to know if there's going to be some more 50's rock and roll this time around instead of the usual mopey 1930's swing crap.
