Educated is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk grants the use of an additional 2 skill points per level increase.
Notes[]
- Like in previous games, this perk works best when obtained early in the game and becomes useless upon reaching the level cap.
- Compared to Fallout 3, this perk is more valuable in Fallout: New Vegas, as the player receives only half the bonus skill points relevant to the Intelligence attribute when leveling up. This means that the perk is equivalent, in terms of skill point gain, to getting +4 Intelligence.
- With all 4 add-ons installed, the player's max level will be raised to 50, meaning this perk will provide an additional 92 skill points from level 4 to 50.
Bugs[]
The 0.5 modifier that comes with an odd numbered Intelligence can sometimes cause Educated to bug out if the perk is taken. A character with 7 Intelligence for example will possess 14 and 13.5 skill points per even and odd numbered levels prior to the perk, however, after taking this perk at level 4, the character instead gains 16 points per level instead of 16 and 15.5. Conversely, characters with 9 Intelligence only gain 16 points per level after the perk is taken at level 4 instead of 17 and 16.5 at even and odd levels respectively. This bug can occur after rebuilding a character upon leaving Goodsprings as well, if both iterations had 10 intelligence. [verified]
