How to reset perks.

[Nath Gamer --]

To reset your perks you can follow these few steps.

First of all I do not take any accountablility for your saves. Make sure you save your game before attempting this at all.

To add a perk use the (player.addperk <perkID>) where perkID is where the perks id goes.
To remove a perk use (player.removeperk <perkID>) where perkID is still the perks id.

You can find a list of all the perk id's here:
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_perks

If you would like to change your main skills like strength, perception, luck, use this (player.setav <perk> <level>) where perk is a main perk and level is a number from 1-10.

Just so everyone knows I didn't create any of this I just did a bunch of research and found that this worked.

Also known as cheating.

Well currently there is no none cheat way to respec so this is a solution for the time being.

Thanks for the guide, but anyone doing this on their first playthrough might as well just start burning their own money.

Neither does resetting perks on your first playthrough. That's the point.

No man, if they decide to live with their poor perk choices, that means you are breaking the internet rules if you don't too!

I'm may be keeping my own sub optimal spread out of stubbornness. In hinsight, putting four levels into Intelligence by level 10 really isn't helping all that much, but I wanted to be a smartypants!

Buy you? Go for it. Enjoy your special PC gaming privlige you can't get with a PS4 copy of tihs game.

Besides, you also get the sort of people who think using the console to un**** a broken quest is cheating.

No such thing as cheating in a single player game, IMO.

I found the above to be really useful. When I first started playing, I didn't realise I could just select the perks I wanted and thought I had to work down the chart. Fortunately, my son told me this wasn't the case after I selected my first perk, so I only have one perk that is useless to me so far - be real nice to have that point back.

Thanks OP :)

No problem glad to help

The only one I will do is remove the perk in Explosives I took and put it somewhere else. I took it so I could craft them, however you find them in droves so it's useless.

That's why it has been called "cheats" since back in the good old DOS days...

actually it does. because i spent 7 perks on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ charisma to get stores in town and they turned out to make little to no profit compared to just producing water in ♥♥♥♥ tons. so I respeced but then Ive been playing Beth games for ages and I didnt need this articles to know how to do it.. it is just that it is useful that way. I also tested a perk that gives u control over robots to find that it is absolutely useless. So it does not have to be cheating it can be used to test whether the perks are actually worth something because the descriptions are limited and do not really tell you how good some perks are. For instance i thought i could make the robots my permanent followers and wanted to recruit that massive robot with rockets and miniguns but it is only temporary so i'd rather not spend points into that perk at all. And I dont like how some people keep perks even if they turn out to be useless to them but since in old school rpgs u couldnt revert it meant breaking your character and for some people it is some kind of wicked fun. So Imo this is not exactly cheating if you do not add more perks than you remove. So long that you do not abuse this and only do it to test things too. Not when you suddenly decide to do it every time u switch a weapon or something.

Makes now more sense to me pal !

Indeed, but I meant it in the sense of a moral perspective - i.e - my game, I can do as I like within a single player game and no one is being cheated, not even myself as I am adapting the game to my desires. In some instances, my act of 'cheating' can add challenge to some games.

I dunno I still thinking messing up is part of the experience. Happens in real life all the time, people spend ages learning a skill that is absolutely useless and they regret. Live with it.

More like living with poor documentation is a fact of life and we are fortunate to have a post that gives us an option to rescind poor choices. Stay Salty.

Believe it or not I'm actually trying to do people a favor. I'm not having a go at the OP, it is a great guide for later, but everyone should still be on their first playthrough.
