I've been redoing the skill points in my game, drastically reducing the number you can get in order to avoid maxing out all my stats by level 30. Right now I'm looking at the Comprehsion perk and wondering whether the game will acknowledge a partial value rather than a full point increase each time. Meaning that instead of getting an extra point whenever you read a skill book, you only get half. So you'd need to read 2 skill books in order to get a single point increase in a particular skill. I'm not sure though if the game will recognize that and store the partial. Does anyone happen know by any chance?

i'm not sure if the geck can read the half point.
check the perk and it's conditions/objecteffects for it. if anywhere is stated that it needs one book readed for the point you might solve it by placing there to read two books. :wink_smile:

Well the value it provides reads 1.00, so it seems like you should be able to have 0.50 instead. I'm just not sure if it will store that half point until a later time or not. I've just started a new game though and I know where there's 2 sneak books early on, so I'll be able to find out soon enough. It would be nice to have that perk actually be useful for a change. With the default point system it was kind of a waste to take since it was so easy to max out your skills anyway. But I've reduced them enough that there's a good reason to take it now. But it's still overpowered with the default value. Half value would be about right.

In case anyone's interested it works, the game will remember the partial value of the skill books. I just levelled up to 4, got the Comprehension perk and read 2 sneak books, and my sneak skill went up by 3 points. Perfect! That makes Comprehension useful to me without it being overpowered. So skill books could potentially only give me about a third of my total points instead of half, which sounds about right to me. With the overall reductions I've made to my points, the perk will be nice to have now.
