Forum:Power Armor/ Energy Build

Hey guys! I'm starting a new character save and I want to roleplay a Power Armor wearing, laser wielding, technology badass. I will use technology for good, but will not be a Follow of the Apocolympse. Could someone please suggest me a build with Tag skill, weapons suggestions, and ideas for roleplaying?

So you want Power Armor? Only way I know to get that skill in FNV is do the whole BOS thingy with Veronica. So make your way to the 182? trading post and pick up Veronica. Do all the BOS quests. Get the PA training.

Laser wielding? Tag energy weapons.

Tech badass? Tag science.

You get 3 tags to start, 4 with the perk. I've suggested 2 above. for the remaining 2 I'd suggest repair and whatever makes you feel good. I'd take speech for the dialogue options.

Weapons suggestions? I forget where exactly, but in the far eastern part of the map is some gorge that is heavily irradiated with either the special tesla cannon or gatling laser. Also, the downed vertibird sorta close to the useless airport in the south has one or the other. Pulse gun is also appropriate, but only works wonders on robots.

Roleplaying? You're a rebel. You're parents were BOS scribes that were too smart for you're own good. They taught you too much and you got kicked out of some BOS post out west when you contaminated the water purifier. They threw you out and some courier found you and took you in. He was a functional alcoholic and beat the crap out of you when you effed up. On the other hand, you learned how to shoot energy weapons real well, repair broken shit and hack into just about any old computer. Your mentor dropped dead at an early age, you picked up his package and completed the delivery. The service hired you and you were making a living until you got ambushed. You never forget a grudge and have a thing for helping the helpless and small animals. 98.117.24.142 00:03, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

How About This: STR: 5 PER: 8 END: 6 CHA: 1 INT: 8 AGI: 5 LUC: 7 TAG: Energy Weapons. Repair.(Either tag science or a secondary weapon skill like Big Guns, Melee, or Explosives) NOTES: You wont encounter that many energy weapons at the begining, so you dont need to put points into it for a while, you might want to put a few points into speech now and again, sometimes it can get frustrating missing out certain rewards for speech challenges. You will want a Guass Rifle, you can get one at the brotherhood bunker along with your power armour :) LeviLauson 04:39, April 10, 2011 (UTC)LeviLauson

Arcade Gannon will get you Enclave Power Armor, and after you train for it, you can wear any power armor, right? I suggest you go with a high endurance because most heavy armor gives you a -1 to endurance. I don't know, but isn't the laser weapon you find in REPCONN H.Q. a good weapon? It should be being locked behind a very hard door and computer (hard lock on second floor)? Pappy002 08:44, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
