There is some overlap. I just wouldn't be interested in anything that gives you any sort of physical attribute boosts in the Intelligence perks. If I have a Quin Malory build why would I want anything that deals with physical attributes at Intelligence 9 and 10. I'm roleplaying a scientist and the two top level intelligence perks would just be for physical changes. That just wouldn't fit my build at all. Two perks that only boost your stats when you are in a really bad situation. You invest in medicine early on so that you aren't in those precarious situations. Just a waste. Especially when all the lower level perks are so much more practical.

I personally think that I9 deals with nukes and nuclear power. That would make more sense. Even Cyborg makes more sense than "Atomic", because at least it is tied into science.

Edit: I over looked it, I see it.

This was my thought as well. When I saw Int 5, I immediately thought of Pack Rat. Then when I learned about Lone Wanderer enhancing carry weight I also thought that they were trying to spread out carry weight improving perks among multiple specials. Additionally, anyone who's gone camping or hiking with a good sized pack, and little else, knows how important the planning of which items to take and their placement can be. I can see this being a somewhat justification for putting Pack Rat into Intelligence.

Pack Rat was one of my favorite perks in New Vegas, so I won't mind if it comes back. But my first guess for I5 is that it's about getting more base components when you scrap items - so instead of getting 5 screws from some piece of crap, it would give you 6 screws or something.

Pack Rat may be in as a rank of I5 or Strong Back - they rolled Long Haul into a rank of Strong Back, after all.

AP regeneration, run speed, and attack speed can be either physical or mental. It is just a matter of moving in the most efficient manner possible which requires mental ability not physical ability. The less wasted movement, the faster a person can move.

As far as Cyborg being I9, it just doesn't fit with the image.

I really like this idea, and it makes a ton sense with the heavy crafting focus of the game.

That is a possibility that I honestly didn't consider. I was assuming that the little bits in the picture were just random small junk, but they do look like screws, nuts, loose wiring, and maybe some piping section upon a closer look. As such, I think you're probably right and that it's related to scrapping items. That could be quite interesting!

Given the android/implants/high tech angle, I'm guessing Cyborg won't be on the chart as a Perk we just choose. I might be something akin to the implants in FNV.

I don't see anything corresponding to the Regulators here, either, so maybe they've decided not to have that sort of Perks.

Thank you both.

no problem

has anyone else noticed zero perks for power armour directly i wonder if the perk mags will offer some bounes ?

S10 features a guy in Power Armor, but given the rest of the perk I think it's only for knocking people over while sprinting. There's a train whistle in the foreground, and the guy he's charging into looks like he's made of paper. But maybe that perk only works when you're in Power Armor?

Anyway, even with the new power armor, I don't think it's a sign of anything that there aren't any perks on the chart for it.

Power Armor seems to carry its own perks based on all the customizations available.

Dont forget that there are dozens or hundreds perks that are not on the chart.

"And on top of all that, you also get separate Perks from the many in-game magazines you can find (there are over 100). Some of these grant an individual Perk, while others up the rank of a Perk associated with that magazine."

I've seen a lot of talk about ammo crafting, and I haven't seen anyone suggest this..

Int. 6 looks, to me, to possibly be "Vigilant Recycler", which would indicate that there is, indeed, crafting of ammo. Or, I could be completely wrong.

I6 is Science!, and we learned from E3 that it's used for crafting Energy Weapon mods.

Thanks! I went back and watched it again. The exact same image is played when you select the mod. So, at least part of my post was right; I was completely wrong!

Not to mention abilities and old perks folded into different ranks of Fallout 4's perks.

60% of the time, it works all the time.

Edit: found answer

couldn't strength 9 be: unstoppable force? Seem to make more sense than ''slayer'' since the guy is rooted

Ammo Crafter????? If I can make Hollow Point or Armor Piercing rounds, i'll pee my pants!!!!

Agree - "Slayer" doesn't match the picture. "Rooted" would actually be better, and could be a perk that prevents you from being knocked down in melee combat.

charisma has many good perks especially intimidation

Not a big fan of tying settlement stuff to SPECIAL. I don't mind if it made them easier or such but why do you need charisma 6 to set up trade caravans? You can be a complete [censored] and still set up trade routes. On the other hand I love how they made the quest arrow an actual perk. At least there is an ingame reason for it now and if the descriptions are clear enough I will try my first playthrough without it.
