No you don't. I just picked it up when my level was available. No need to dump points anywhere to pick skills anywhere in the tree as long as you match the requirements.

Yup. My charisma is at 1. I wanted to do something different this time, so instead of doing general decent stats with minor bonuses in one or two, I left multiple stats at 1 and boosted others high up.

I haven't done the BoS stuff. I think the main guy is a dick and I haven't joined them. Maybe on my next playthrough.
And holy crap. Unlike Skyrim, the monsters don't have anything to do with your level. So it's entirely possible to get in WAY over your head and have to leave until you get better gear or a few levels. You basically can't just do main quest stuff because it's nearly impossible to win fights. I'm level 18 and I just went into an area that were I even a few levels lower I'd have melted away into a lagged pool of radioactive jelly.

Finally found a combat shotgun. It's been a game changer.
I hate the "legendary" thing. I know it's a video game, but that Diablo-esque thing is just way too video gamey for me.
Oh look, randomly it's the LEGENDARY RADROACH! They're not even given names or anything. If there were specific legendary creatures in places named it would be a lot better.

Once I hit 15, I suddenly started getting MUCH better weapons. Even good pipe weapons... I'm not sure how much of this is from the 60% damage boost I get from perks, but it's STILL much better.
Some of the randomizer elements don't make any sense. I ran into a robot that wouldn't be hurt by my laser musket because it had "mutated" to resist that. Not sure how exactly a robot can mutate ...[DOUBLEPOST=1447673015,1447672940][/DOUBLEPOST]
Some of it is just the right pick-ups, but that seems to be random. I got a Combat Shotgun at level 8 and I'm loving it.
Finding an area with enemies who use laser weapons is also a big help, because you can really load up on ammo with the scrounger perk.
Wife is building a multi-floor abomination of a house.
I expect the whole thing to collapse when she exits the construction menu.

Ok how the hell do I start getting perks? Everything is greyed out and for some reason the only perk I got is barbarian. I cant find anyone talking about it online. I am close to level 10.
Press T when you have your Pipboy up. That'll let you pick your perks.
I know that. I can get to the window. But all the perks are grey. I can hit alt or ctrl to raise the rank but those just reset once I close the perk screen. The only thing it lets me do is add a special point when I level to the top row, but every single row under it is closed.
Built myself a tree house. I would build more levels but settlers don't really seem to want to go higher then 2 stories, so didn't bother. I might do it anyway and just put some turrets on a smaller third platform, or something. But for now I got this!
I have seen string-lights in the world, so I hope that is something that's unlockable by finding the right picket fences magazine. Also, need ladders.

Sell some of your porn.Every screenshot I see and every story I hear is a blow against my willpower to not get this game until the price drops.

Have you tried clicking on the perk and looking at the bottom? Once you click it it should ask you to hit Enter to confirm. Or "E". Whatever.
Or, explained better: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/que...er-than-increasing-special-skills-at-level-up
I have never regreted buying a Elder Scrolls or Fallout game from Bethesda on Day 1. It IS worth the 60 dollars, unlike so many other titles.Every screenshot I see and every story I hear is a blow against my willpower to not get this game until the price drops.

Should've grabbed it during Green Man Gaming's 25% off anything coupon sale. That's when I did.Every screenshot I see and every story I hear is a blow against my willpower to not get this game until the price drops.

Yup, all it says is if I want to raise or lower the rank, which again, happens, but never sticks.
Who pays for porn these days?
Okay here is a screenshot.
One of the things that I realize is I never picked the Barbarian perk, nor do I remember even having a tutorial pop up on how to handle perks. I think when I went back to my house and picked up the comic book, it gave me the perk before I was supposed to learn about it, and fucked something up. I hope I don't have to start over.

Preach it, brother!Being financially responsible sucks.

Can you double click the perk you want? I think alt only shows you the effects if the next rank.Okay here is a screenshot.

Alternatively, plug a controller in. I've found keyboard to be so bugged for everything.
Double clicking does nothing. It does not even show the confirm dialogue or the E option to accept it. Just tab, rank up, and rank down.
The greyed out ones are the ones you pick. The dotted silhouettes are the ones you can not pick. Click on what you want then click toward the bottom to confirm. Or press E.
As I already said, there is no confirm button, there is no E option. It's grey all the way down and nothing will let me select them outside of marking up or down ranks randomly. Look at the picture, I even have toughness selected on it, which only requires 1 END, and I can't do anything other then the options you see below.
Did he perchance put his perk points into the SPECIAL stats,because he couldnt choose perks?
Oh shit. You just helped me inadvertently discover my problem. When I started playing and leveled, it told me to put a point into the perk tree in my SPECIAL, so I did and just kept doing that each level, not realizing that the PERK POINTS shared with the SPECIAL POINTS. The reason I can't get perks is because I keep spending them on my SPECIAL. God damn it. I might as well just start over.
Did I mention I hate the Fallout 4 UI? Okay to get out of this menu you have to hit tab, but to get out of THIS menu, you have to hit ESC. To enter this menu, hit E, but that one, his ENTER, and THAT ONE, hit Space. Also this one you have to use the arrow keys. All while showing me a three second tutorial blip that is hard to notice when I have a feral goal trying to kill me.
Not to make light of your situation, but that really made me laugh.
Just kick the ball out of bounds, you'll have plenty of time then.
I highly recommend a controller. It sucks, because I wanted to play with KB&M like a proper game, and shooters with controllers are ehhhhh, but the UI is so bad for KB&M that I had to give it up.
