4 Intelligence or 9 Intelligence

[Orion]

Just 4 to take Hacker at the start or go for 9 Intelligence for extra exp?

duno perks may override

[Rekalty]

Take it to 11.

I would take the 9 int since you don't want to be as stupid as your average steam user.

[< blank >]

can you?

[Ogmok]

I'll start with 9 Int (and hope for a bobblehead to max it later instead of using a perk).

Intelligence seems to be one of the more useful stats from the very beginning (for more xp)

Here's my well rounded character build:
S: 3
P: 4
E: 3
C: 2
I: 4
A: 6
L: 6

7 is ok
E.g.
S 3
P 6
E 3
C 6
I 7
L 0
You can read book to increase SPECIAL
You can spend perk point
Some mission will increase SPECIAL too

First build should never high than 7

I would only take my intelligence to about 5 or 6, honestly. That'll give you an exp boost while allowing you to pick other skills to increase as well. Don't forget; with Fallout 4, you can use perk points to increase your SPECIAL stats on levelling up. :)

Also, I've *heard* there's an Intelligence bobble head fairly early in the game, so I certainly wouldn't take it any higher than 6 due to that. Not right at the start, anyway.

[Svide]

why not 1? So characters think you're mentaly retarded.?

[K]

Doesn't intelligence also increase experience earned now?

Might be a good option to some people in a game without a level cap.

You can't have 0 in any stats.

Here's what I'm planning on starting out with, then I'll fix all the low ones early on to allow myself to grab some perks later on.

S 2
P 2
E 2
C 8
I 5
A 2
L 7
