Question on the FLINT

Greetings all,
I am debating on purchasing and playing through the Flint story as I have heard great things about it. However; I am concerned about stat loss. I know that there is an option to trash your Persuasive score for a few points of Dangerous; but is there an option that doesn't reduce your stats at all?
I am concerned as I am a Paramount Presence now; which means that there is no [current] way to get my stats back to their current level if they decrease.
Is it safe to run through it now, or should I wait until FB fixes the issue with Paramount Presence's?

Yes, the option to change your stats is optional.

Awesome! I assume it is fairly obvious what is going on and "accidental" loss of stats is not a concern?
Thank you for the response!

I don't think the option explicitly tells you that you'll lose Persuasive, but it certainly will be obvious that that option is about doing something *incredibly dangerous*.

Note that if you chose to live dangerously earlier, you'll lose a lot more Persuasive, but your Dangerous will increase even further over the cap. If you're currently at 215 it would go to 220. Whether that's worth it is up to you.

Thanks for the replies. I kindof wish I would have taken a trip to the Flint prior to getting PP.. I guess I just got overly excited at unlocking the next big thing and didn't think of what it would lock me out of.
Here is to hoping that in the future FB will allow PPs to re-grind up stats (not holding my breath)
