What to study

This is the whole build on one screen, and it refuses to let any number stand alone: every attribute carries its pip bar, every derived stat sits next to the attributes that feed it, and the Luck panel explains itself in plain effects (more critical hits, more evades, bonus CON, bonus action points) rather than flavour. The two budgets are kept apart and both visible, 3 attribute points and 12 skill points, so the player always knows which currency a choice spends. The skill lists are the game's personality in miniature: Hard Ass, Kiss Ass, and Smart Ass sit beside Lockpicking and Surgeon, and Toaster Repair gets the same row treatment as Sniper Rifles. Frame at about 20.4 s in the Wasteland 2 trailer (Steam).
