Where in the first two games lowering a SPECIAL stat to 3 or lower could be a risky move regardless of your character type, characters in Fallout 3 can get away with SPECIAL scores of 1 in particular stats. Players who played the previous two games should also keep in mind that the SPECIAL system in Fallout 3 is much more forgiving when compared to the first two games: Low ability scores penalize the player less, while high ability scores do not grant as much of a benefit. Additionally, while the Gifted trait (along with all traits) has disappeared, primary attributes are simultaneously less important and easier to acquire as your character grows. For instance, tagging a skill no longer increases the rate of a skill's development, but skills gain their maximum effectiveness (and cap out) at 100. Players who are accustomed to the rigid attribute and skill mechanics of the previous games may be happy to know that the new systems in Fallout 3 are much more flexible and allow for more changes during a character's development. requirements cannot be met by equipping items or using drugs (with the exception of the Lucky 8 Ball).įor a list of perks, please see Fallout 3 perks.

Other perks have attribute and skill requirements. Many perks have an attribute requirement, for example the Mysterious Stranger perk requires a Luck of 6 to become an option. In Fallout 3, you gain perks every level. Perks are special elements of the level up system which grant special effects and abilities.
