OK so I'm planning to make a character that is meant to be exactly like Ender Wiggin, so I will be using energy weapons, but I was planning on putting my perception down to 1 so I can get my intelligence very high, but I think I remember reading somewhere that perception has an effect on energy weapons, is this true?

It may effect how many extra skill points you start out with, but I don't know. Regardless, if you're gonna have that low of a Perception, you're gonna need ED-E. In a big, open world like the Mojave Wasteland, you're gonna need to know where enemies are.

I guess I could use ED-E as a follower, haven't used him yet.

Yes it seems perception effects grouping of shots in energy weapons.. someone tested it. Does NOT effect guns just energy weapons.

This is my current energy weapon character..

so far its working out alot better then my other tries.

I've stuck with my perception at 5 but my luck is only at 6, I would want it to be higher to get more critical hits but in keeping with my roleplay, my characters charisma must be fairly high, along with his intelligence.
