"Welcome to Perk Selection. On this screen, you can choose which Perks to buy with your Perk Points. You get a new Perk Point to spend every 2 levels. You can also acquire Perk Points through gameplay, such as accepting a Flaw. Acquiring 5 new perks makes the next tier of perks available to you!" ― Auntie Cleo
Perks are a way to customize your character to fit your playstyle.
Perks are earned every 2 levels and they can also be earned by accepting Flaws, which are permanent debuffs that affect the player character's attributes.
There are three tiers of perks. The second tier is unlocked by acquiring five perks from Tier 1, and the third tier is unlocked by acquiring 10 perks from the previous tiers.
Companions also have perk trees, with some perks being exclusive to the companion. Companions perks are also manually selected as they level up. Companion perks are earned every 5 levels. Perk points are retroactive for companions who join you later in the game, i.e. a companion that joins you at level 12 will have 2 perk points available immediately.
