The game is designed in a way where if you really wanted to you could level about as fast as you would like but many of the challenges to spend those points will take you hours to complete so power leveling really isn’t a thing and you are encouraged to specialize because the last level of a perk is usually the most powerful. Many aspects of this game are done better elsewhere but the broad variety of activities combined with improved dialog and quest structure are really appreciated in the setting. It’s not perfect and takes a while to get really engaging but the whole package is the best Bethesda game in recent history.
Oof, I would consider fallout 3 to be recent history but I’m an old fart.
Edit: I bet I’d care more about 76 if I ever played the game. From looking at as Starfield they made some mistakes with it an felt they needed to improve a few things.
