In the demo he puts Luck to 10, but the forward arrow is still there. This would be interesting, maybe we gain an extra SPECIAL point every 2-3 levels as well as a Perk.

It would go well with the theory that there is now only SPECIAL and Perks, as seen in the new PipBoy and Perk-Chart in the garage picture. Getting only Perks on level ups would be very rpg-lite so this is good if true.

I kind of suspect that there will be more ways to raise SPECIAL attributes in FO4, especially considering how few points were given during character creation.

I've been playing Fallout Shelter, and in it, all your vault dwellers start with low SPECIAL stats. As you build up your vault, you can unlock rooms to train each of the SPECIAL stats. I think FO4 will be similar, with opportunities to improve through "Intense Training", NPC's who can train you, quest rewards, synthetic upgrades, or other mechanisms.

It's possible. Especially, with special no longer governing skills.

Whut.

I kind of doubt they'll go over 10, but I think the rest of your idea is very likely. We can assume that, without skill points, leveling is going to be perk driven. Just getting a new perk every level would be pretty boring. Since we're starting with only 28 SPECIAL points instead of the usual 40, it seems likely that we'll get more throughout the game.

Have you not been paying attention to the threads popping up about skills being gone?
