Is it worth using the Intense training perk every time you level up to get to get all of your SPECIAL stats to 10?
I have been using Intense training every time I level up to try to get them all to 10. Is this worth doing? Does it make a significant difference?

No. It's horribly inefficent to use Intensive Training. Follow these steps.

1. Get broken steel.

2. get to level 30.

3. take the "Almost Perfect" Perk (raises all SPECIAL values to 9 if they are below 9)

4. find all of the SPECIAL bobbleheads (each one gives 1 to the SPECIAL it's attributed to) Do NOT take them beforehand, or you won't get your SPECIAL to 10 (unless it's at 9 or 10 already...)

As you've been taking Intensive Training now for an unknown amount of levels, I'd suggest you scrap your current character.

It's not worth it in my opinion. :shrug: I've fielded many, many characters. Only one all powerful god-like wreaker of destruction. It got boring. I could kill anything and everything, carry 1000 missiles, etc. I tend to field average to below-average characters in terms of SPECIAL, and create self-imposed rules regarding playstyle, inventory management, etc. Even at level 30, I should feel like I'm still at level 5. At least that's what I shoot for anyway. The feeling that I could die at any moment, rather than just walking in the front door and laying down the law.

If you want it easy... then yes. But by the time you get it up to 10, it wont really matter anyways.

Almost Perfect is [censored]. You get it way beyond the end of the game and it weakens you at low levels. I just ignore it.

Low levels I use Intensive training when my only real options are something useless or...skill/experience perks.

When I make a character, I just make him with the stats I believe I would have in real life. I know that's not what you asked, but your question was long ago answered. I also give all of my character unique fighting/gameplay styles based on their personality, which I decide when I make them at the beginning.
