Characteristics drop glitch?

[TurkmenbashiB]

For some reason i've noticed some of my characteristics drop. Attention was previously at 4, now it's at 3. The game doesn't offer me any explaination.

Did you smoke weed or drink alcohol?
If so, then it's a temporary drop that will go away after some time.
If temporare, there will be a little icon on your portrait when you open the character screen(press c on keyboard).

Radiation, toxin, alcohol, hunger... You may see your current state in the bottom right corner on main screen, or icons on your portrait.

I assume I did previously, but my stats aren't returning to normal no matter how much time passes.

[sorenthewild]

Sounds weird.
Are you sure that you haven't anything equipped with a negative modifier?

Maybe some screens (or save) will help...

Very well. I don't know how to directly upload to the discussions board(or how to take a screenshot, hence why I used my phone), but when I tried posting the links here, the links were removed. Odd. That in mind, I added a space to the links which can be fixed with a simple backspace. I hate having to post this way, but I don't know any other way to post them here.

One point about green numbers and red numbers in character panel, distinctions are included in the logic.

For example, if a Distinction removed 1STR then STR is red no matter the STR value you set at creation. Then if you wear a (unique) Helm that adds 1STR, then STR will be black.

For attention lowered from 3 to 4, gas mask can do that for example. Unequip all items and check again.

Otherwise in some very rare case, some status won't be shown in character panel, for example Toadstool effect. But all case I remind have a limited duration. And most states will shown an icon on portrait in character panel.

If unequip all changes nothing, then wait 2 days in game. And if it changes nothing, you should report the bug with the save joined.

Could it be you picked up a companion?

Leader: +7 Speechcraft +5 First Aid +5 Barter
-1 Attention -1 Dexterity for each follower. You
+1 Dexterity +1 Endurance to each follower. Follower

That must explain why. I didn't read the fine print when I choose my trait. It's something that should be changed in the next update in some way. Any way I can get my attention back without killing off my allies? Maybe a way to edit my save file?

AFAIK if you dismiss companion through dialogue option, he will go back to wherever you picked him up. Dismissing him will get you your points back.

I am unsure where the dog goes but if you have Red Fighter settlement home maybe he goes there?

As for items: there are things like eyeglasses that give +1 Atn but it only works if your Atn is less than 5, so not completely usefull.
I am unawere of any other item that gives non-situational bonus to Atn.
Maybe somebody else here knows?

On editing save files: I personaly do not know of any way exept to go to this link https://atomeditor.azurewebsites.net/
and add yourself however many points you are missing.
Keep in mind that this may not be up to date patch wise.

Is really the dog like a companion? With Lone Wolf it isn't considered as a companion.

For items/drugs/food with ATT+ in 1.08+ there was none but the glasses you quote.

I actualy never played with Leader distinction on any of my characters, so you may be correct that it is like with Lone Wolf and the dog dosnt count.
