Charasmatic Nature and single player

[MythN7]

Does this perk do anything in solo play? is it just a waste of points then?

I haven't tested it in single player but my best guess is it doesn't do anything. When my brother and I were first trying A17 he got the perk. I asked him if the status buff popped up for him and he said no. I doubt it would give the buff to the perk owner in single player either.

Until it's fixed, Charismatic Nature is kind of a waste of points in multiplayer too. Usually the perk literally only works half of the time, buffing nearby players for 5 seconds and then not buffing them for 5 seconds, repeating. Some of the time it doesn't even do that, showing no increase to max health and stamina for a session. It's a nice perk on paper but has been bugged from the start.

Edit: Shortly after writing that, I found the magazine for Charismatic Nature in a store with my singleplayer game. I still didn't want to spend a skill point on it but $850 seemed expendable enough to sate my curiosity. Sure enough, the even after temporarily gaining the ability, the buff icon never came up and I didn't get any increases in max health or stamina.

Dont really think its effective in single player.
