The following is a rather good video essay on speech skills in the Fallout franchise. The presenter, Jon, is an aggressively normie youtuber who occasionally breaks that mold where Fallout is concerned. He makes a few good points here, I think the best of which is that saviour faire and streetwise should be distinct skills. Separating these skills (as well as allowing nerd/mechanical skills) to be used in speech checks gives a more realistic, deeper feeling to a game and a more unique feel to the character you are roleplaying as. It's a shame we never got GURPS Fallout, it would have been even better than what we did get.
Anyway here's the video:
