Forum:Help me bulid a character!

I freaking suck at this game big time. I used the same build as I did in FO3 and it just doesn't work. Anyone got any tips for me? I'd like a gun user. ViperXeon 07:02, October 23, 2010 (UTC)

its difficult to get used to, just remember if an enemy has a red shield by his health when you shoot at him, you aren't doing diddly, and normally its nice to forego stat bonuses for damage threshold so you can take more hits. ithinkimaddicted 08:42, October 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the changes to damage resistance in this game confused me for a while at the beginning. The manual for this game is rather lacking as well compared to the manual for Fallout 3, this one doesn't even list the perks in it so you have to come here to plan out your character.

Every set of tag skills and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. will work for the game, it's not like fallout tactics, where charisma atribute would be only useful for a perk thatl owers perk rate to 1 perk per level. here charisma is useful cause there is always a diplomatic way to solve any problem using speech.

The downside is that you *need* high speech skill in this game to get/complete *most* missions/followers. There should be more alternatives to speech requirements. It was pissing me off on my first playthrough to waste so much on CHA and speech. Trying to just kill my way through this time around and see how that works. Set CHA=PER=1, LK6, END8 (since the regenerative implant is plain useless anyway), AG9, STR7, INT8. That gives *fast* reloads, good health, enough skill points. Downside of the low PER is that it costs a lot of (starting) points in valuable skills. Looks like I'll need to use door number 556 to get into vegas ;)
