Barter Bobblehead

[NukaCola]

if Todd took away the Skill system, why did they show the Barter Bobblehead in the demonstration at E3?

[GM Pax]

It's not that skills are GONE.

It's that skills are no longer PERCENTILE based - they are now Perks, with multiplelevels. Finding the bobblehead for that Perk/Skill, adds +1 rank to it.

Honestly, LockPicking and Hacking were already skills with only 4 meaningful levels (25, 50, 75, and 100).

I see, thanks for your reply. One more question, in FO3, higher INT means more skill points per level. So how does it work in FO4?

[GM Pax]

As I understand it ... higher INT in F4 means more XP points per action. That is to say, for the exact same event , a character with INT8 will get much more XP than one with INT2. I doubt it's a directly multiplicative gap - meaning, not 4x as much - but definitely _a_ difference.

Which will directly mean gaining levels more often, and thus Perk points, and thus ... skill ranks, if that's how you elect to spend those points.

...

Also note: each attribute has ten Perks associated with it, one per level.

Lemme see if I still have a URL to a forum post explaining what people had figured out so far ...

Really helpful, thanks !!

[GM Pax]

Not a problem. :)

You can just look at the Perk Chart[orcz.com]

I am guessing the Barter Bobblehead will give you a free rank of Cap Collector[orcz.com]

This can't be right. They're missing Big Leagues from the chart in stregnth.

The last update was in early August. And since the thread was deduction and speculation all along?

Obviously, they simply got the name wrong: what they have listed as "melee weapons", the game actually calls "Big Leagues". After all, Big Leagues does specifically say it affects your "damage with a melee weapon".

Here is a much better site.

I'm assuming that was before they came up with a name for it, if you read the chart it said melee weapons for strength number 2.

I never said I read it. Just pointed out it was missing something.

You guys are the ones bringing up the fact its old. So why post it in the first place if its out of date?

[GM Pax]

Because it has information the OP clearly lacked. And slightly-stale information is better than no information.

... a site which, among other things, says:

"Speculation Alert! These perk names and descriptions are still unconfirmed, but were very nicely compiled by user gkk7z."

Note, the thread I pointed to? Authored by gkk7z. So your site is just a more graphical and interactive version, of the same thread I pointed out ... except only the perk names, now that the whole chart is known.

Geez, the amount of misinformation in that link is staggering. It was just some idiot making stuff up based on an extremely blurry image and nothing else.
