Walkthrough

1
Child at Heart: Provides unique dialogue options with children involved in quests. Its usefulness is limited due to the small number of children with significant quest interactions.
2
Comprehension: Grants one additional skill point per skill book read. This perk offers a significant potential for extra skill points (estimated at 325), potentially reducing the need to invest heavily in Intelligence. It's considered a must-have perk for its exceptional usefulness.
3
Educated: Awards three skill points per level gained. While it provides a substantial number of extra skill points (78 in Broken Steel), its value is diminished in the Broken Steel expansion due to the increased number of levels and the effectiveness of the Comprehension perk combined with finding skill books. It is not recommended for Broken Steel.
4
Entomologist: Increases damage against mutated insects (Radroaches, Giant Ants, Radscorpions) by 50% per rank. While not essential, it becomes more appealing with the introduction of Albino Radscorpions and the abundance of perks available by level 30.
5
Iron Fist: Adds 5 points of Unarmed damage per rank. This is a significant bonus for players focusing on unarmed combat, equivalent to 10 points of Strength. It is essential for melee builds but unnecessary for others.
6
Scoundrel: Increases Speech and Barter skills by 5 points per rank. This perk offers a straightforward skill boost but is generally considered less impactful than others.

Tips

Comprehension is highly recommended due to the vast number of skill books available, potentially negating the need for high Intelligence.
Educated is best taken early to maximize its benefits, but is largely considered obsolete in the Broken Steel expansion.
Iron Fist is crucial for any build focused on unarmed combat.
Consider Entomologist if you find yourself facing many mutated insects or have spare perk choices.

Each perk offers a unique reward: Child at Heart provides new dialogue, Comprehension grants extra skill points from books, Educated gives bonus skill points per level, Entomologist boosts damage against insects, Iron Fist increases unarmed damage, and Scoundrel improves Speech and Barter skills.
