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.

Of course, but when stats are pointed out in regards to this I can't help but point out that intelligence =/= sociability. Even in Fallout intelligence doesn't get one to pass speech checks, unless otherwise tagged; but that's to pass a speech check with the character's natural scientific knowledge.
