The perk is more valuable in Fallout: New Vegas, as you get only half the bonus skill points for your INT stat when levelling up. Additionally, you can find a bobblehead for each attribute which increases its associated stat by 1 point. They can be increased permanently by taking the Intense Training perk at level-up (which can be taken up to 10 times, at any level) or through various quest perks. How do you increase your special in Fallout 3? In Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, the perk rate is always 1 – that is, you can pick a new perk every level. If you don’t travel with companions, Nerve is useless.

Besides skill boosts, Charisma only affects companion Nerve. In Fallout 3 charisma has the effect of increasing speech check success (independent of speech skill), but since you could just reload a failure it was rather useless.
