Bit of a short video this one, but it's worth a watch if you're into Fallout's role-playing game elements. Levelling up in the post-apocalyptic series has always been handled well, with tons of different perks allowing you to craft your own specialised play style. Things are being taken up a notch with Fallout 4, though, which boasts an all-new, fully animated perk chart - and supposedly more ways to define your character than ever before.
Narrated by the always informative Todd Howard, the Bethesda bigwig gives us a brief overview of how the overhauled system works. Check it out, and then tell us if you're already formulating plans for developing your vault dweller in the comments section below.

Cool! I like how perks aren't walled off by level and are instead walled off by your skill. Much more freedom.
Awesome change to the perk system!!!
Oh my god, just give me this game already! I need my Fallout fix.
I've had some rather nasty comments aimed at me on certain forums for suggesting that Fallout 4 will win game of the year. People who don't play it think I am being a fanboy. Most of them are saying that accolade will go to The Witcher 3.
While I love The Witcher it comes nowhere close to Fallout for me. Also the last four games Todd H and Bethesda have made won game of the year.
Morrowind GOTY
Oblivion GOTY
Fallout 3 GOTY
Skyrim GOTY
While there are some top contenders for the game of the year I wouldn't want to be going up against Fallout 4 and Bethesda.
@WARDIE Steady on Wardie lets play the game first.....
Explodes as cant wait anymore.
@themcnoisy Lol Sorry but thats my prediction. Its Bethesda. If there ever was a safe bet, its Bethesda.
After 80 hours or so Skyrim became so/so for me, and I didn't really get into FO3. What can I say, I struggle to stay interested in these huge games. I'll no doubt be giving FO4 a spin, though. Here's hoping!
@kyleforrester87 it literally takes me years to play their games. I still haven't done a lot of quests, but not for lack of playing (ylod mostly) which shows their depth of content. I'm fairly confident I've done everything in only TES4 so far lol
Interesting perk system tho. Can't wait to get my Pip Boy wahoo but first the mini-nuke yee-haw
@WARDIE you are absolutely correct my friend. I love every Bethesda game you've listed there and I'm dying for some post apocalyptic adventure!
For me fallout will be better than the witcher and mgs5 because of the level of freedom. Those others don't really allow role play because they tell you who your going to be. Your Geralt who fights with two swords and some magic. Well what if I wanted to be an archer or pure mage or fight with a two hander warhammer or simply not be this white haired dude. Come to think of it aren't Geralt and big boss very similar looking. Anyway I'm sorry for rambling. You get the point.
I'm planning to play as a female pugilist, punching everything to death!
Why?... because I can
@tenderbeefcake Yeah Garalt always reminds me of Big Boss lol. I love those games I mentioned above and I still own them too. I have tunnel vision for Fallout 4 at the minute, so I rarely play anything else that I own. I just need to get Fallout out of my system.
Damn I feel like an addict lol
