Perks

I noticed after taking the educated perk that I did not get my 2 extra point allotment. Is this a random bug?

I don't remember ever seeing that bug in previous versions of TTW. I just tested in my TTW Testing Version and it doesn't happen.

I researched a bit and it seems that there was a bug with the Educated perk, but for Fallout New Vegas' Xbox version. If the character has 9 Intelligence, it only gains 16 points per level with that perk, instead of 17 and 16.5 at even and odd levels respectively.

So it doesn't seem like the same bug either.

I have no idea why it would be bugged, maybe a mod would be messing up the perk somehow.

Maybe the perk was nerfed a bit. I'm getting 15 per level which if I remember correctly was the default. Oh well, not a game breaker. Haven't played fo games for a few years, forgot how fun they are and TTW just adds to that tremendously. Spent a lot of time on 7 days 2 die as it was inspired by the Fallout 3/New Vegas games and has that fo kind of feel and atmosphere. I will be playing that as soon as the Starvation mod is ready for the alpha 16 release.

Well, we didn't change the perk. That is why it is strange it is not giving you the two extra points.

The way skill points are gained in Fallout New Vegas is 10+(INT/2), so for example:

You gain 15 skill points per level if you have Intelligence 10. If you have INT 10 + Educated, you should be gaining 17 points and if you have INT 10 + Educated + Intelligence Bobblehead (using the TTW Optional Bobbleheads) you should gain 18 skill points per level.

If you have 9 INT you will gain 14,5 skill points per level. So you gain 14 skill points one level and the next you gain 15 (it adds the extra 0.5 until it makes a full 1).

And so on.

The only thing I can think of, is using xEdit and check if any of your mods is changing the perk.

Sorry about the long post, I tend to ramble... That is why I try to post short posts usually.
