As a bag of hammers

[Iluvcheezcake]

So just noticed some of my skill passives are red due to "as a bag of hammers".
What is this?

[LordBlade]

So it's only for the low Int characters then?

[Saxton]

Yes. Brains 1 or 2

[Iluvcheezcake]

Just checked. If you make a low brains build, you get a trait "As a bag of hammers".
Makes sense now, thanks

"As a Bag of Hammers" is a trait that you get by starting the game with a Brain value of 1 or 2. This trait means you continue to have the 'stupid' dialogue even if you equip relics or use drugs to temporarily increase your Brain above 2. Keep in mind that there are SOME things in game that a Brain 2 character can do that a Brain 1 character cannot (and there are some perks that require a Brain of 1, not 2)

"As a Bag (box) of Hammers" has been around as slang for decades to describe dimwitted people. I guess with our political correctness slant that has been steadily increasing it has fallen out of use to the point that many younger people have never heard of it.

Did you do anything special? I want the skill traits for this.

So i have only 1 brain but i have prodigy. It show in the trait tab i have bag of hammers but does it stay since im technically not starting with one in that stat?

Given how this was coded, yeah it probably stays.

(BTW, Steam deleted - or someone reported - my initial response in this thread that said it means you're dumb. Someone took it personally I guess. lol)

Sigh, thanks for the reminisce about this game. Too bad about what it could have been...

Speaks volumes about who sent in the report.

Is getting "As a bag of hammers" worth it?

It is an essential trait in our modern world.

Oh you probably mean in the game,
critically weakening you potential skill growth is NEVER worth it for a first playthrough.
