No matter how strong you are or how good you are with a weapon, it would be much more difficult to make your way through the wasteland of Fallout 4 without a nice wink and a smile and the ability to talk your way through certain situations. Words themselves can be a weapon, and the better you are with them the more you can do without always having to shoot your way out.

In the fourth video in Bethesda Softworks’ Fallout 4 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. video series seen below, the Charisma attribute is given a closer look. For those of you new to these videos, be sure to also check out Strength, Perception, and Endurance.
