Assign your starting attributes by perusing the “You’re S.P.E.C.I.A.L.” book. The suggested starting attributes are on the right.

1) You’re S.P.E.C.I.A.L.!

The game starts out… with your birth. Here you’ll get to customize your character’s appearance (don’t worry, you can change this later, if you decide you made an ug-o.) All is not well, however, and after some drama, you’re flash-forwarded to a little bit later in life. You’ll have a tutorial on how to walk. When you’re left do your own devices, open the gate and tottle over to the “YOU’RE SPECIAL” book on the floor and activate it. Flip through the pages and assign all your attributes. When you reach the end of the book you’ll get a chance to assign them all at once. If you’re following this guide’s build, you’ll want the following attributes:

2) Revelation 21:6

When you’re done being “S.P.E.C.I.A.L.”, your dad will come back and show you the Bible passage Revelation 21:6, which plays a fairly prominent role in the game. A religious scientist? Sure… Your dad’s a rare breed, isn’t he? When he’s done yammering follow him out into the hall and time will fast-foward again.
