Character builds
Hello Bloodwars, I've been looking through your user page and I think its great! Would you consider pasting your three pre-built characters in the Fallout 3 character builds page? The page only has two builds right now and could really use some alternative perspectives. You can keep your existing table format of course, its more professionally done than anything I've seen.

 * Thanks for the comments and sure ;) i'll get on it later tonight and link back to my page... honestly I just made my page so i could find all the info i came here looking for in one place (i don't care about EVERY gun, just the good ones... or who knew i should keep every box of sugar bombs i find?) but i'm glad to see other people might also find it useful. Bloodwars 01:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool. You know, if you're looking for a place to contribute that kind of into you might want to include it in the Fallout 3 Guide. Oh, and btw, you don't have to name your characters for the page, unless you feel like it, I just did it for color, you could call each build Bloodwars Build:1,2,3.

 * I've updated the character build page, I'll go look into the guide or linking a version of my info into the fallout 3/character creation menu somewhere. Bloodwars 16:43, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for the character contributions! I made sure to include all of your links in the See Also section. [[Image:Ash_Nuke.jpg]] AshRandom (Talk) 18:05, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

There's another NPC that respawns every 72 hours with a skill book, the ant researcher in the Shalebridge Tunnels. So that means you don't really have to put any points into neither Science or Big Guns. Dcruze 19:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's really good to know... I'll update my info this weekend (hopefully) with that and the new perk/items from Anchorage. Thanks! Bloodwars 22:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bloodwars. I'm very new to FO3, and I'm using your sniper build. I'll probably go with the Blackhawk. Anyway, I was trying to reconcile capping out all skills (except melee and unarmed) with that build. So, is it fair to say that capping all skills is a no-brainer? Should I wait until a particular level to go get all the books/bobbleheads (because the enemies are too tough until then)? I'm on 360, so no console commands for me. I did grind the Ant Researcher and already have 100 science at level 4, hehe.--Xethan 17:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The only really hard stat bobblehead would be endurance (deathclaw area), but if you're careful, it's possible to avoid them. There's no reason not to use the books when you get them, though to ensure you cap out everything as soon as possible, you kinda have to keep track of what you've used. Honestly, capping all skills doesn't really matter since you probably wont use EVERY type of gun and barter/speech generally aren't that important, but if you want to, it's more than possible. Bloodwars 18:20, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll make a checklist for Bobbleheads/Books and go through it then. I'd like to get all the stats I can before I go through the storyline, for speech options, etc. Not to mention it's always annoying to come upon a lock or terminal that's beyond my skill. I'm also trying to get all the 360 achievements on one play-through. There's a good guide on that on x360a.org, but it (necessarily) doesn't have much on builds and skills. This game reminds me of a BBS door game I used to play called Land of Devastation, which probably explains why I love it and want to do everything in it. --Xethan 22:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * yeah, i'm on pc (and loving the mods, MMM, FOOK, etc) but all the fallout games are based loosely on Wasteland (from 1988). The huge open world thing was cool back in daggerfall, but the gameplay there was stupid bad... oblivion also had the swing while backing up thing that made it kinda worthless... giving the enemy guns really makes it a much better game ;). Bloodwars 20:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I found Recon Armor (+5 sneak) in Vault 108 (in a locker, probably in cloning lab). That could be added to your table that shows minimum skills, so you'd only have to have Sneak to 35 instead of 40. Just a note, in case you missed it.--Xethan 04:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I chose not to add it due to the fact that sneak is a combat skill (in most cases) so you'd want to have it maxed while using power armor or ranger battle armor or whatnot, and recon armor is generally too heavy to carry around for a minor buff. I appreciate you bringing to my attention though ;) Thanks! Bloodwars 05:23, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, good point. --Xethan 05:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I just wanted to point out that you can get all skills to 100 without using the Educated perk, which saves a place for something more useful (with a decent SPECIAL one doesn't even need to use the respawning books). You might want to mention that on your page. Neoptolemos 11:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * If you read my page, I have a Low Intelligence skill point breakdown, and the educated perk has NEVER been mentioned there, because you can get 1400 skill points without it. Bloodwars 11:23, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, you're absolutely right. It's not even in one of your builds. Silly me, I completely imagined it. Neoptolemos 13:21, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Can you update this based on the new perks and level cap in Broken Steel?
 * Eventually yes... I'm working 110+ hours a week for a few weeks though, so it might not happen immediately. Bloodwars 02:50, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Would you mind helping me with this build?
I'm going to be using a slightly altered version of your Ninja/Sniper. I will be focusing on Jingwei's Shocksword (looks way cooler than the Shishkebab and won't make me feel obligated to use Pyro), a Sniper Rifle (regular for 5 shots and 5x crit), the Perferator, and the Chinese Stealth Suit. I might dabble in Explosives a bit, too. Also, I want to have good karma. I don't care that much about maxing. I guess you could say that I want to have the best possible character vs time put in ratio (I've got a decent amount of time to play, but not a ton). I want to score as many sneak crits as possible (sort of the focus of the build). If you have time, I would really appreciate your input. Imrlybord7 20:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I'm still working 110+ hour weeks for the foreseeable future :/. As far as character builds though, feel free to copy or use whatever you want, I made this page for me, but the info is there to be used freely ;) Bloodwars 23:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!
I've mentioned all the amazing work you've done in the introduction to my character build (a maxed-out character without Broken Steel, currently a work-in-progress hosted on my user page). I haven't finished the Perks section yet, but I'd appreciate your feedback on what I've done so far. --Sirrah91 08:40, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Child at Heart
I noticed you seem to like Child at Heart. ArmeniusLOD commented on my character build recently and suggested that it is a wasted Perk. After considering it, I agree. Most of it's benefits can also be gained through Speech checks, and it offers no combat benefit like Black Widow / Lady Killer. What's your opinion on this?

Skills Table
I hope you don't mind, I filled out and sorted the skills table so it matches the in game list. Makes it a tad easier to follow.

Thanks for your work on it.
