En: Main character creation occurs in the character's childhood. The character reads a picture-book titled "You're SPECIAL," where upon reading the player can set the character's seven primary attributes or "Special Stats," (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck). Skills and Perks are similar to those in previous games: Skills can be gradually assigned up to 100 points and give players increasing degrees of ability; For instance increasing the Lockpick Skill grants the player access to harder doors to unlock. The maximum level the player can achieve is level 20[13] with the exception of the Broken Steel downloadable content addition, where the limit is raised to 30; every level up, a new Perk can be selected, each offering advantages of varying quality and form, and new Perks are made available at every other level (i.e. levels 2, 4, 6, etc.).[14][15]
