"Learning Failed" What!? Perk (Saville Row). Thanks For Any Help.

[CruX]

Does that mean I wasted a point? What is this nonsense? Does it not work, even if it appears gold? How can this still be a bug 2 years later..

Edit: Saville Row (maintenance perk).. The one where you get 0.5 charisma for each piece of clothing you are wearing (that you've repaired). To a maximum of 2 (something like that).

But yeah.. it said learning failed??

I'm not sure if this is just a popup bug (when learning), or if the perk doesn't work..

Look at your charisma then remove everything and replace with things you haven't repaired. Do the best you can to make sure they are the same. Look at charisma again.

There is a rumor when that this is a bug - but i've never tested it.

This seems to only happen to me when i rapidly advance Maintenance and then try to learn a few different perks. I then reload a previous save and start over - training the skill, waiting some time, and then "learning" one perk at a time over the next couple days - it seems to avoid the "bug"

From a "Realism" perspective, it is interesting if it isn't a bug - but that would be totally crap to do in such a complex game since there is no way to "try again". So, i suspect it was originally a planned "feature" of the game (to Fail learning a perk) - but likely disabled during early testing - and now perhaps just a bug.

But again - i dont trust it to be a bug - the charisma add is a bit wonky anyway.

Happens to me occasionally, pretty sure it's just when you're mashing the button to learn the perk too many times so the perk gets learned but you're accidentally hitting the next one too, so the button pops up. Alternatively the perk points disappear when you're learning before it's actually learned, so mashing it tells you that the skill cant be learned.

Either way, the skill I tired to learn gets learned properly so it doesn't matter

Just an alert bug - happens on other perks as well, shouldn't affect buffs n' such.
