Does Perception Affect Accuracy?

Does Perception affect accuracy?

 

[Languorous_Maiar]

In Fo1/2, yep.
It's pretty important when considering distance modifiers.

 

[BigBoss]

Damn, I put almost no points on perception (spent the majority of them on agility, and spent the scraps on intelligence).

I was wondering why I couldn't hit shit in the temple on my latest character. I had 5 on Perception I figured that would be enough though.

 

[Per]

You should be able to compensate with skill points.

 

[Atomkilla]

Yeah, skill points will do the work. I've done a 5 PE character on many playthroughs, tough in the beginning, but you will make it through.

I wonder if anyone tried playing the game with a perception of 1. Basically a blind man.

Blind, deaf and numb, actually.

If my memory serves me right you don't need a higher perception than 6 for perks.
and then there are some checks i guess but they are not worth it.

What would you guys say are the most "important" stats in SPECIAL.

This has always been hard for me, because they all are pretty much equally important. The most useless one probably would be Charisma since it doesn't raise your speech/barter that much and you can just put a ton of skill points on them anyways.

Agility with no doubt.

Charisma is good for companions but you can raise it by other means.

Agility is definitely the most important one, at least for combat-oriented characters.
I'd say Strength and Endurance are tied for second place.

 

[Per]

IN for dialogue, then AG for AP.

Endurance is kinda meh above 5-6 and you won't need more than like 5-6 str for most/all builds.

Agility and INT is the most important stats imo.

Agreed with above, INT and AGI are the more important stats, as INT gives you more skillpoints per level, and AGI gives more AP for battles.
