My Courier

Post » Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:08 pm

So I'm in a self imposed New Vegas exile until the next PS3 patch, which will hopefully fix the bug that removes the option to convince the Followers to support NCR so they don't get screwed over in the end.
Meanwhile, I've been carefully plotting my new character. My goal was to maximize skills to make him proficient at nearly everything, then after that focus on VATS proficiency. So here's my plan...

Starting Attributes:
S-5
P-5
E-5
C-5
I-10
A-5
L-5

Traits:
Wild Wasteland (Yes, I like it wacky)
Good Natured

Tag Skills:
Guns, Medicine, Repair

Perks (in order):
Intense Training- Endurance
Educated
Comprehension (I'm going to collect all skill books)
Toughness
Toughness
Bloody Mess
Jury Rigging
Tag! (for Explosives)
Weapon Handling
Grim Reaper's Sprint
Action Boy
Action Boy
Math Wrath
Intense Training- Agility
Concentrated Fire

Implants for DT and health regeneration, then Agility, Strength, Charisma, and Perception. My character is going to wear a Desperado Cowboy Hat for an extra Perception point too.

So, at level 30, Explosives, Lockpick, Barter, Speech, Medicine, Repair, Science, and Guns skills will all be at 100, Energy Weapons will be at 60 for the Concentrated Fire perk, and Sneak will be at 63. If/when PS3 gets a level cap raise, I'll max out Sneak and then spend the rest of the points as I need for any new perks I might want, or choose Gunslinger and Commando and dump all the excess points into Unarmed to switch up combat every now and then.

What do you guys think?

It looks alright, you'll definately get a larger than average skill point distribution, but it's usually a good idea to balance your character, so maybe put 2 points of intellegance in Charisma or Strength if those rolls are more of what you're aiming for.

Your character, play as you like.

My opinion is, however, this:

This is a role playing game, not an FPS. Instead of metagaming...playing the game system, why not try a more specialized character?

It isn't what I do, but as I say, play as you like.

You did ask us what we think though.

I know. And you asked me why I don't play as a more specialized character, so I answered. Although I do have a brawler character and a Samurai Jack character too.
