'Here & Now' perk.

Hi. Went up to level 3. Picked this perk. Got 1 level more but not the skill points that comes with it. No mods.

That's a useless perk by the way. You'll get much more use out of something like Quick Pockets or Strong Back.

^This. You're gonna be wishing you had a better perk when you reach the endgame. Strong back especially if you favor big guns.

Here & Now and Swift Learner are universally considered the worst Fallout perks in every Fallout game to date.

No bugs section here.

Yeah that's the most useless perk in the game, even if it wasn't bugged.

[rompier02]

Thanks all for the info.

Just so you know, you can save perks until you can take something useful. Hit cancel when the perk window comes up. It will come up again every time you open your character screen until you take the perk. I like to save the level 3 perk and use it for something like bonus move at level 6.

From what I can remember, you can save a perk until the level before you get your next perk, you will lose a saved perk at the level you would gain another perk. Unless there's a patch that has changed something since 20 years ago?

No, you don't lose the perk. I have a character with 2 bonus moves and 2 action boys at level 12.

I think you might be referring to Fallout Tactics where that is possible. In Fallout 1 and 2, if you attempt to save perks for the next level-up the perks will be lost. Unless a mod somehow changed this.

I believe Killap's Restoration Project made it possible to save perks.

Ah okay. That makes sense. So I suppose OP would be free to save perk points if thye are using the restoration project (or unofficial patch, I assume). But if not, they'd end up losing an entire perk point.

I don't have any mods installed but the current version has been pre-patched with sfall version 3.2 and the high res patch version 4.1.8. Perhaps one of those added in the functionality.

Edit: It's the sfall patch, scroll down to v 1.19[falloutmods.fandom.com]

So if you install the Steam version, you can save perks.
