I said, I was only going to creat one charcter and stick with this one character now. Now I am nervous since there is so many new options to choose from. I am not shure what to do. I will be playing on normal difficulty level on hardcoe. I was thinking of taking "Good Natured" and "Wild Waste Land." Wild Waste Land looks like it will add some humour to the game.

I know in my Fallout 3 charcters I made one with knowing the "cheats" to max out Inteligence by level 2 so I can have the max points when I level up. My other charcter was the opposite at Int 3. I made all my charcters strenght 10 since I wanted to be able to carry the most.

I want to be able to sneak, and use guns the most. So I am not shure what to use for my SPECIALs and what tags to use or what ever I should do before I start. I got the EB game preorder so not shure what I get with that yet.

So can anyone help me with some ideas and suggestions. Also what did you use to make your character. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hope everyone has fun playing this.

Seeing as it's set in vegas, I'll do an 8 or 9 luck for my first build.

Along with 9 or 10 Int, for roleplay reasons + skill points.
Will probably sacrifice charisma for that.


If you want sneak, basically you must have agility. Strenght too, if you go for sneaky meelee guy. Otherwise, push luck to get nice critical rates, which are good for sneakers. Tag the guns, sneak (so you can start off with at least half a chance of doing what you like), and ..something.

I personally always go with guns, repair, and lockpick or speech. And I did kamikaze with trigger focus, increased agility to 8 perception to 6 and intelligence to 6. But I'm gonna go with a second character that's high speech and I'm gonna take cannibal perk too.

My typical build went like this:

S: 6
P: 5
E: 4
C: 4
I: 9
A: 7
L: 5

Take Good Natured (best trait in the game IMO), tag Guns, Repair and Sneak. When you level up, bump Science to 25 and dump the rest into Guns until it's at 75, then go where you want from there.

Take Wild Wasteland if you want, it's fun.

Thanks everyone, that is good advice. I see some say take strength not to 10. I guess I can use those points else where, and just have to learn with it.

I really appreciate the help given thank you. Going to have a bite to eat, do some grocery shopping and then back home to some gaming.
