Before I create my new character tomorrow i would like to know if the game will have bobble heads (or another way) of increasing starting SPECIAL points? Pervious games did, but I read some conflicting points on a return to Fallout 4. I read that magazines and bobble heads raise your skill levels, not SPECIAL level.

In previous Fallout games I had always create a new character with end game in mind by setting SPECIAL skills below what I wanted, but knowing I could increase them during play.

Yes and they work the same way(like in FO3)

Thanks. I also just found a post on the general thread that said upon advancing each level a player can either choose a new (or level an existing) skill, or increase an attribute (SPECIAL).
