Is Intimidation Worth It?

Good for Crowd Control

You can pacify someone lower level with you with Intimidation. You can force them to surrender or incite them to attack at higher ranks, which is great for causing chaos and easing the battle.

Note that the Intimidation effect is not guaranteed and will wear off if you wander too far from the enemy. You can increase the success rate of Intimidation if you have the Lady Killer / Black Widow active.

Unlock Intimidation at Charisma 10

Intimidation is on Charisma Level 10

The Intimidation perk is unlocked when your Charisma is at Level 10. You can start at this level by assigning 10 points to Charisma during the Registration Form at the start of the game. Otherwise, you can get to this level by collecting SPECIAL magazines or bobbleheads and spending perk points upon level up.

After getting to Charisma 10, you're free to spend perk points on ranking up the skill, as long as you are at the required character level to rank up.
