Ok so after completing this wonderful game for the first time (I spent a few hours just exploring and helping post crap on the wiki) I have come to the decision to start a new character.
I am going to use the Plasma rifle or the Q-35 Matter Modulator (which is a special Plasma rifle) so at 25 Ill just stop adding to Energy and work to get the Jury Rigging perk so I can fix it. Arcade or Raul will be my main companion since they are the funniest in my opinion. My secondary companion will be ED-E (if they fix his glitches such as NOT ATTACKING!!!). So I pretty much going to be doing a sort of Laser Gang. Ill side with Yes Man since my last time I was with NCR. I'm going to use the Wacky Wasteland trait this time cause everyone needs a good laugh now and then. Probably should have bought FNV for the computer instead of PS3 cause with the GECK and all its like free DLC. So post what your going to do for your 2nd 3rd or 4th (if you have alot of spare time) time through the waste land.

Why isn't Veronica on the list?

I did a 2nd playthrough early because I realised I had the wrong build ,wrong traits and wasted points in certain skills.

I went with the heavy handed trait and an unarmed character plus good with guns..
the game has some great unarmed weapons..

lol I knew I was missing someone

Explosives.
Yes Man.
Rose.

Can you put in the poll no companion? I cant stand them! I deal with them for as long as I have to for a quest then tell them to go away.

You do realize that the results will probably all be about the same? There's probably a slightly disproportionate number of people who played the first go round with guns, but I'm sure everyone will want to mix it up on the 2nd go round. And those that played with the other combat skills will probably take Guns to see what they missed. The exception being the companions, where it seems most people on the forums talk a lot about how great Boone, so I'm assuming he's the one every already used. Of course, those that didn't use Boone, will probably want to test him out.

Erm... No?
1st character, Energy Weapons.
2nd character, Unarmed.
3rd character, Explosives. (current character)
4th character, Melee.
5th character, Diplomat/pacifist.
6th character, Guns.
Screw guns, boring bullet weapons, I'll take anything else over them.

im going hard core on hard and join the Legion sounds fun!
and shooting Boone so i don't have the option.

2nd? Pah, I'm up to four now. My current char is a true cowboy (lever action rifles, revolvers, the correct perk...). Next one will be an energy user.

Dang Energy weapons at the beginning are hard as [censored] to get ammo for. Im going with the Incinerator for now once I hit the strip I can get some stuff from the Silver rush.

Probably make an evil character, no faction or Charisma or friends, just kill everybody you see. I'll do it on Very Easy and no hardcoe to boot

Once I destroy a civilization, I put all of there heads into a box and move to the next town.

This would be hard if you a console gamer are you PC?

On my 2nd playthrough, i will be playing as a NCR ranger. So i will be using lever action guns.

For my third Im going to do a Cookcook sorta guy. Ill take his clothes and everything and get his Flamer or Incinerator and Roast me ,Rex and Raul some Freeside stew after I get high on Psycho Jet and some Vodka to wash it down.

I'm on my 2nd playthrough and I'm doing a Melee character siding with Yes Man, thought it seems more appropriate to side with Caesar's Legion with a Melee character I just can't bring myself to helping those fools.

I'm done with my 2nd playthough, reached level 30 and discovered 125 locations. I'm on my 3rd playthrough, Professor Oration Ener-wep, a charismatic,smart, perceptive professor (I made him look like Arcade Gannon) and I use energy weapons only. I have Arcade as a folower. My tag skills are Ener. Weps., Science, and Speech. I succeeded on 93.8% of all of my speech checks and recycled most of my Microfusion/Energy Cells and ECPs. My 3rd playthrough is going well right now. Well, too bad I won't be playing it this week because Call of Duty Black Ops came out.

Wow, what do we get for not restarting the game from the beginning? Is that a grand point of Fallout? What worst can happen, should you consider yourself a loser if you have to restart for your third time? LMAO! I wouldn't change a thing if I had to start all over. Actually, I'll have to be forced by gunpoint to do anything different.

This will be for my 3rd Playthrough, but I will use Pistols (and a few rifles late in the game) and Melee Weapons while siding with the Legion. I will get Boone as a companion for his hat, then kill him.

Melee/unarmed Female (yeah!) , House or yes man (my current/first I am sided with the NCR), Cass and prolly hardcoe.

I just don't know about the legion

Dr Frankenstein pronounced steen.

He is crazy so I'll have wild wasteland. He performed experiments on people in his traveling doctor caravan and the NCR took it so he hates them. He is evil. He likes energy weapons and explosives. My third will be Bubba. I think you know what that entails.

All of these are giving me Ideas of what ill do for my 3rd 4th and 5th plays

Second playthrough I was gonna make a Cowboy, with the perk of the same name, using only revolvers and lever-actions.

Then came The Patch, so I guess that idea goes onto the back burner until reloading isn't a "Now you're a sitting duck for the next 15-20 seconds, hope you killed'em all before you froze" process. :facepalm:

Guess I'll do my melee/unarmed Legion playthrough...unless they Patch that too.

I'm going to make a melee/guns character leaning more towards melee and have the Night Person and Mr. Sandman perks so I can kill people while they're asleep.

My first character was female, a non-combat focused one. Had Speech, Barter, Science and Medicine at high levels. Just used whatever weapon that seemed right at the time due to low skills in them. Rolled with Cass and Rex and ended up supporting NCR.

My current character is a slightly insane survivalist guy. He's got Guns, Repair and Lockpicking as his main skills, with a bit of Survival and Explosives on the side. He's gotten into quite a few tussles with the NCR and is currently working with the Legion. He's got Raul along for the ride.

Not sure what my next character will be.
