I have to say I’m a big fan of these animated shorts that Bethesda is releasing to explain Fallout 4’s S.P.E.C.I.A.L character statistics. Last week’s covered the Strength stat, while this week’s looks at Perception.
They’re incredibly flavourful, and actually amusing. Not something you can usually say about pre-release marketing.
Perception, unsurprisingly, is great for characters who want to rely on ranged weapons. The VATS system returns, and once again perceptive characters will find their odds of hitting specific areas on their opponents’ body vastly improved. It’s also useful for pickpockets, snipers and demolitions experts.
Expect further videos on Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck in the future. Fallout 4 is set for release this November 10.
