I doubt that Bobbleheads would add a perk or a rank of a perk you potentially don't meet the requirements for. That would really mess up the balance of the level and SPECIAL requirements, I think. My guess is that they either do nothing at all, or they offer unique perks like magazines.

And I hated how the bobbleheads (and implants, for that matter) made it a bad decision to set one of your SPECIAL stats to 10; although now that there's no level cap, and you can pick a perk as soon as you meet the SPECIAL requirements, it's not really a big deal any more.

Yeah, Them naming what I would consider the barter perk "cap collector" has confused me. Of course It could be that there is no longer a barter bobblehead that was shown in the e3 video and it will now be called the "cap collector" bobblehead. Or it'll still be called the barter bobblehead but will simply add a free point to the cap collector perk. (Seriously .. why would that perk be called Cap Collector?.. it is so clearly barter.)

This groundbreaking new information is surprising to a stunning amount of people here.

I would guess and would like the non-SPECIAL bobble heads give unique perks.

I'd like bobble heads to do something for your character instead of doing nothing at all. It was a special moment for me finding them in F3, not only to add to my collection but it did something cool. I don't mind if they do something different this time around but to do naff all would be a let down. That's just my two cents.

New information: Bobbleheads now replace the Mysterious Stranger Perk. During randomly chosen combats a group of tiny assailants, equal to in number and representing the Bobbleheads you've collected, will aid you in combat. In hilariously inappropriate ways.

Strange, the Strength Bobblehead was available pretty early in the game (even if you had to possibly "break and enter" to find it). The Energy Weapon one was always the one that was out of reach for far too long.

Thanks for the spoiler

Thanks for quoting the spoiler so I saw it...

I didn't see any bobblehead in that room. Just a desk lamp.

Thanks for quoting the quote that quoted the spoiler so I saw it.

No quote pyramids=no fun.

You bastard! That lamp was a surprise!

Thanks for the spoiler! I wanted to find out that he was a bastard for myself!

You didn't already know I was a bastard? Next you'll be telling me you didn't know Darth Vader was Luke's father.

You bastard!

*head explodes*

Just to add to the confusion, my quote did not quote the spoiler (just that the previous quote contained a spoiler that did not need to be shown again in the thread....)

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program....
