Hey guys, I've recently noticed that my educated perk has NOT made an effect since I choose it at level 4. This kind of makes me mad since I have to make do with 15+ skill points every time I level up. I'm already level 18 and my skills are just a little disappointing. For those who do not know what the Educated perk does here it is...

"With the Educated perk, you gain two more skill points every time you advance in level. This perk is best taken early on, to maximize its effectiveness."

I have read about two bugs associated with this perk on Fallout wiki so I'll post them here

* The 0.5 modifier that comes with an odd numbered intelligence can sometimes cause Educated to bug out if the perk is taken. A character with 7 intelligence for example will possess 14.0 and 13.5 skill points per even and odd numbered levels prior to the perk, however after taking this perk at level 4 the character instead gains 16.0 points per level instead of 16.0 and 15.5. While this doesn't necesarrily hurt those characters, one with 9 intelligence similarly only gains 16.0 points per level after the perk is taken at level 4 instead of 17.0 and 16.5 at even and odd levels.

* The perk sometimes doesn't work and you do not gain extra skill points, also you can even lose the extra skill points you gain.

If you guys have any answers or suggestions on how to fix this bug please post them here.

What's your INT score? It's working for me. I'm at 8 intelligence so I get +4 on top of the base 10, plus the two from Educated.

This isn't Fallout 3 where you're Jack Of All Trades And Master Of All. You have to specialize.

My Intelligence is 7 but I still only have 15+ skill points, It didn't change the amount at all.
