Charisma/Luck character is going pretty well, though I recently realized pacifying things doesn't actually give me any exp and it only works on lower level enemies that I wouldn't have any trouble killing so I'm not sure what the point is
It probably gets more useful as I level up the perk but right now I basically just use it to hear my character shout "calm down, starfish!" before taking some cheap shots at my victim
It's interesting, but yeah, a little disappointing that you don't get experience from it, nor can you do it on higher-levelled enemies.
However, at the second tier of those perks, you can incite the pacified enemy to attack.
They will begin to attack anything around them, generally. Which can be a little difficult if you're on a quest with a temporary companion, like the Bobbi No-Nose quest.
But it's nice to watch a Mirelurk fight a Mirelurk. And I can't wait until I can get a Super Mutant or a Raider to attack his allies.
Apparently the third tier lets you give them commands, like a companion, including to follow you. So you get an extra companion, although a mortal one.
But I don't know if this is true. That's just what I heard off of Reddit.
And they were talking about the Robotics Perk, which I believe acts the same way as Intimidate, but on Robots. I don't have it though to be sure, and its description is more vague, just saying you "hack the robot".
