This may be a stupid question but in at least FO2 i remember there was a sweet perk that gave you +3 str when using wepons so if you had moderate str you could use heavier wepons

I know there was a perk in FO3 that gave u +5 luck when firing to help crits so mabye this perk isnt to much to ask for

So do you think it will be in?

MAybe maybe not. You will still be able to take Intense Training to up a special stat if you'd like. I'll probably take two or three ranks of it myself, as I must get my hands on that Anti-Materiel Rifle.

I could swear Weapon Handling was mentioned somewhere...

With that and a Power Armor, I'm sure any reasonably balanced character will be ably to wield all weapons they want.

I don't think ''Intense Training'' will be a perk available for you to select every 2 levels. Rather, I believe I heard there was a character that could increase a stat by 1 a few times (not sure what/how much the price is). I think Intense Training would have been a waste of a perk, IMO, since we only get, what, 15?

There are 10 ranks of "Intense Training" just like in Fallout 3 but yes it doesn't sound like a very good idea when you have to select only 15 perks. That "Weapon Handling" sounds like a good perk though if you don't want to invest many points in strength.

A lot of the perks are on this site, but thats proberbly not all of them, I hope not anyway.

you can always take IT a few times, many of the good perks have ridiculous prerequisites anyway, you wont be missing anything if you take it 3 or 4 times

yeah we can take as many intense training perks as we want, i will prob take 3 ranks of it and pick 12 regular perks.

I hear the anti-material rifle requires a strength of 8 to use effectively, With weapon handling that's down to 6.
So yeah if you start with a strength of 5 you can pickup an implant to make it permanently six then take the perk.
