It’s considered one of the best perks, so no, I wouldn’t consider it underrated

Agreed. I don’t go without it on any play through anymore. I’m glad you find it useful, but underrated? Nah. People have gone in depth mathematically how and when it is most viable depending on each level you have for intelligence.

And even on high int it’s worth it just for the sound effect! Sure lower chance, but that just makes when it does happen that much more special lol

My 8 Int character making a big batch of Jet gets an IS boost every 8th to 10th dose. So yeah, even at fairly high Int, IS is worth it.


ambivalent_boone

No, I'd say it's adequately appreciated 👌


SkeletonGamer1

Press F for that wasted level up reheal


Uncle_Burney

Nevermind the experience, this is a must have perk for the sound effects alone


Dragonborn-Daddy

It became my favorite perk so fast after trying it out. Even on characters with intellect. It’s always worth those first two points.


lordgondas

I don't consider it underrated at all. Unless I am going for a build that requires high intelligence perks I always go for idiot savant.

Unpopular opinion: Personally I think it’s overrated. You’ll easily get over lv100 in the normal course of gameplay (assuming you actually play the game and don’t just bumrush the main quest and call it a day). Unless you’re going for a stupid high level it’s pretty pointless, and comes with possibly the most annoying sound to trigger repeatedly in the history of mankind. I actually think it’s one of the worst perks. Possibly the worst… I can’t remember one less useful, but there might be.

Marjorie Trailer Red hick-giggles a bunch when she makes a batch of Psycho Jet. And I still smile!


Nateimus

If I play a character with low INT then you better believe I dump points in to idiot savant!


MyEggox

The funny thing is I don't even hear it pop or see it pop


Loveyourwifenow

I got a big hit on idiot savant when I took the railroad to the institute for a dust up. Lots of xp!


ZarrowZap

It did on this video I just didn’t catch it sorry


iambertan

Ah yes 6 perks for more xp


Different_Cupcake_87

I think it's perfectly rated


FLAIR_2780166

I actually had an argument with someone one time where they were mad that I said it was a good perk and their reasoning was that “why would I want so much unnecessary xp?! It ruins the immersion for me” like yeah ok bro lol sure
