Should I Aim for a Well-Rounded Character or Focus on One Stat?

Hey everyone! I’m currently at level 46 in the game and I’m trying to figure out if it’s better to spread my special stats evenly across the board or to pump most of my points into one specific stat. Since I’m still learning the game, I’d love some advice on how to approach this!

You definitely want to choose a build that fits your play style and then adjust your SPECIAL stats accordingly. Whether you prefer using melee weapons, heavy guns, or a lot of V.A.T.S. influence your decisions on stats and perks.

Exactly! Each play style benefits from different SPECIAL allocations.

Remember, your SPECIAL points are just means to equip the perks you want for your character. Having extra points isn’t usually the best strategy unless you’re going for a melee build where maybe strength matters more. Focus on the perks you’d like to use, and that should guide your point distribution. Plus, you can always respec if needed, so no need to stress too much!

When I started, I tried going for a well-rounded character, but it left me feeling mediocre at everything. I recommend finding a gameplay style you enjoy and crafting your character around that. The game is pretty forgiving, so you can always adjust things later on if you need to.

Totally agree! Focusing on a specific build lets you actually excel in areas you like.
