Mechanically Intelligence only goes as far as technical knowledge with benefits to the Science skill and extra experience points gained, or additional skill points to allocate on a level up.Outside of game mechanics high-intelligence characters doesn't mean that their IQ translates well into street smarts. You can have a really bright and sharp character, or be that type, but you could be as dumb as a rock when it comes to personal interaction and picking up on social queues. As a off-the-top-of-my-head example: Spencer Reed off of Criminal Minds would be just that. Guy's character is Einstein 2.0 but he wouldn't be able to tell if you're either teasing a person or being genuinely offensive, he's a social retard.One might say he's "autistic" and watch him fumble with it trying to point out it's a broad mis-diagnosis and makes the insult even more fitting.I guess ultimately in the end I can refute that statement. You could certainly make the claim but without good people skills to compliment high intelligence I don't think a person would be able to pick up on and decide to go against the direction of social shit unless they got a moral compass that says it's wrong always, period. But then that begs a whole other series of questions. I can't see a person of average social intelligence leveraging the situation like Petyr Baelish.

She doesn't have horrible Charisma, so she wouldn't be autistic, and the fact she's a raider would translate the intelligence into street smarts. 

Since there is no wisdom stat we can't go into the argument "Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is knowing not to put it into a fruit salad" and Intelligence would have to count for both.

Now if I had tanked her charisma stat like I had intended to, then she would have been unable to relate to anybody and would speak like a machine: "Just focus on something other than the pain and you'll be fine, we do not have the med-X to spare, I apologize"

 rather than "Suck it the fuck up ya' pussy I'm almost done, I ain't wasting Med-X on your dumb ass."

Plus there's a lot of other factors besides just stats. There's upbringing and culture to take into account. While the NCR with it's actual production of supplies has plenty of resources and is a widespread, developed group they would be much more formal than my character from the Pitt, seeing as even though it's been about 20 years, they're still more than refined raiders all concentrated in one area.

Well yeah but that would fall under the category of antics since anything I write would just be Scrap getting upset they got a second mechanic to work over his shoulder, dig? Of course that's not the case but, pretty much tired of their shit already, Scrap would see it as the humans belittling his skills.

Well then do that so I'm not stuck waiting for him to answer my question -.-
