Forum:Perks to make your game better

Perks are what makes your Character become a tank. If your like me and don't pick locks these are the ones for you. Commando,Gunslinger,and Sniper this greatly increase your accuracy and make kill that super mutant easier. Of course choose everyone's faviorte Bloody Mess increasing your damage with all weapons 5%. Also swift learner all 3 will get you 30% more exp. Also Child at Heart,Lady Killer,and Scoundrel will give you unique speech options and with lady killer you do 5% more damage to women in battle and scoundrel raises your barter and speech 5 points each. By far the best perk to take if your poor (like me) Master Trader is the way to go with my high barter and this perk I get things for excatly what their worth no higher! also concentrated fire will raise your accuarcy with each hit on that part of the body. also intense training is good if you need to level up certin S.P.E.I.C.A.L's if you need to get these perks. of course at level 20 choose the Explorer perk to show all locations. but are you tired of being attacked by Yao Guai,Mole Rats,and Raider Guard Dogs choose this also with the second rank animals help you but not against other animals. Light Step is also good you no longer set off mines or floor based traps yay! over all these are the better perks so choose others to acommapny them. Good luck and don't get killed.Jakeman664 18:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

By the time master trader is available I usually have more caps than I know what to do with, so I think it's worthless. I make it a point not to take swift learner, because you can advance in level very rapidly anyway. I also keep a charisma of 1 or 2 and a very low barter skill, since money isn't really that big of a deal in the game. Just pick up items with a high cap to weight ratio (usually over 20 to 1) and advance your repair very quickly so you can repair items to make them more valuable and keep your weight down. Raiders can't be bartered or reasoned with, so you should get the perks that make them easier to kill, right? LVTDUDE 01:13, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I choose perks not only based on stats and skills, but also what type of character you play out as. I'm by no means a "roleplayer", but this is a roleplaying game. While some people mark certain perks as a waste of a perk (and believe me there are those that can be considered as such), I find it important to pick some of the more random and fun ones later on after you've already got a character that's well built, like Cannibal or Mister Sandman. Although these really only apply to someone playing a less strategical based character. For that it is important picking and choosing wisely. I will say this, if you're playing a male character, Lady Killer may not be that useful of a perk, since a majority of human enemies are male, and there are less oprotunities for unique dialog options, while on the other hand, Black Widow (female equivalent) is far more useful and the dialog options are funnier in my opinion.--Esscex 03:52, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Ive gotten so good at the game i just use the the special training and a few other perks to go around the wastes.-- 01:25, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
