Hey all,

Decided to replay F3 with all the expansion packs. I am now on level 18 i believe (XP = 23894 / 26550). But when i reach a new level i dont get any new perks. They keep being grey for some levels now. I didnt notice it before until i saw that with my level i should have been able to get new perks. Whats wrong here? I really cant go back to my savegames, would mean i lost 20+ hours gameplay. installed the patch to, i believe 1.7.

dont know if this helps, stats;
Strength 10 (from beginning, after goat)
perception 5
endurance 5
charisma 3 (-)
intel 6
agility 3 (-)
luck 6

anyway to get up above things like agility or charisma? how are they down any way? they used to be i believe 5?

My perks;
adumantium skeleton
ant might
child at heart
commando
educated
finesse
fortune finder
gun nut
here and now
intense training
junior survivor
lawbringer
mys stranger
power armor training
rad regeneration
scoundrel
scrounger
strong back
swift learner (2)
tag

no cheats or mods used

Really any help would be appreciated. Would HATE to replay the last 20 hours because i invested lots of time scrounging. got 15000 caps by trading and doing lots of trips into the wasteland and back to megaton (my residence), not playing all the missions at once. I want to get as much replay out of F3 as i can

thanks u guys,

slappy

*edit* is there a way to carry more than 300?

Charisma and Agility being lowered- Check the Stats page of your PipBoy. You probably have an addiction to Jet or something which is lowering your stats.

Greyed-out perks on the level-up screen generally mean you don't meet the level/skill/attribute requirements.

To carry more than 300 lbs. you'll need to use a mod or raise your carrying capacity through the console:
player.modav carryweight [insert desired weight limit here]

I checked that out, it was an alcohol addiction, and the powerarmor+ helmet causes a loss in AGL and CHR. Wow i played the whole game never knowing this.

I dont understand that. I reached the appropiate levels for alot of perks. But what has skill to do with it? And what do the attribute requirements mean? Sorry for being a noob.

Thanks, but for now i dont want to use cheats. Ill just make more trips then. Bummer.

Next time you level up, have a look at the perks and underneath the picture for each one it'll list the requirements - for some perks, you need to be Level [whatever] and have for example, 5 endurance. The requirements are different for every perk, it's not just your level you need to look at.

i see. but how am i going to improve, for example endurance?

Bobblehead, some quest perks might be able to do it. The Intense Training perk allows you to raise a SPECIAL stat.

Bobbleheads will improve it by one point, or you can use the Intense Training perk - I think there are four ranks of it. That means you can use it four times to raise one of your SPECIAL stats by 1. You could put them all on the same skill, or you could spread them out, it's up to you.

of course! why didnt i think of that! Well i got myself a list of the places where the BH are at. So i guess im gonna do some wandering.

Great help!

Love this forum. And this game. Its so immersive. Explained to my girlfirend i took a day off by sleeping 10 hours and having a few drinks at moriartys. She thinks im crazy.

I wouldn't worry about it anyway, you can get by without a lot of these perks; it's certainly not worth losing hours of play and 15,000 caps. Two really good ones turn up at L20, and I don't think either one has any stat requirements.

Love it!! XD

np, nice to be able to help

I don't need to say this but... I have 78,890 caps...

Just putting that out there.
