Your journey begins with character creation. You'll choose your character's appearance, gender, and most importantly, your starting attributes. Attributes like Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Perception, Charm, and Temperament directly influence your skills and combat effectiveness. For example, high Strength boosts melee damage and carrying capacity, while high Intelligence improves Tech skills and dialogue options. Consider your preferred playstyle: a charismatic leader will prioritize Charm, while a stealthy assassin might focus on Dexterity and Perception. Don't worry too much about perfection; you'll have opportunities to respec later in the game, but a strong foundation helps immensely. Each attribute point provides a sificant bonus to related skills, so allocate them wisely based on your initial build concept.
