yeah, 19 days in USA and Canada! :flame:

still 22 days in Europe.

Damn you Bethesda :swear:

We get 40 special points rightttt?

Im thinking
S: 7 (i wanna be able to use almost all the weapons, and with that Strength medical enhancement you can get this will let me do it!)
P:6 (This is assuming it is no longer almost useless like in Fallout 3)'
E: 4
C: 4
I: 8 (being a smarty pants is the only way to play)
A:6 (maybe even one less - I'm not a huge VATS user; mostly just for very precise moments and a little bit of AP is all I need)
L:5 (the idea of being "unlucky" doesn't sit well with me, but its not worth some points to put it higher. )

this is a rough idea. Maybe less Perception depending on if they have changed it. I will definitely have to read the stat descriptions and possibly re-evaluate.
Tag: Guns, Speech, and I have not decided on a third. Maybe Melee Weapons for those dire moments. I am planning on playing hardcoe and carrying very little ammo to maximize what I can loot, so having a trusty dagger for easy kills / OH [censored] moments and being decent with it would be handy.
On the other hand, I always like having a good Repair skill so I could shoot at maximum efficiency (also - YAY for that "Maintain" buffer zone for your gear!) and Sneak is always super handy.
No matter which I choose, these will be my primary skills I invest in.
I don't know about traits yet. I was considering Gifted, but it depends on the skill reduction. Maybe another trait just for flavour but we will see.

Is his name Phillip J. Fry?




Mine will be a courier that gets shot in the head... =) :snoring: Boring huh!?


Okay, honestly a decendant of a Soviet spy trapped in America when the Chinese attacked. Bent on finding a way to avenge my fathers death by slavers after he was captured scavenging for food for my Mother and I. On a side note, robots killed my mother, so I hate High-tech technology, and ghouls helped raise me, so they good people....

Specializing in guns, crafting, repairing, and sneak... On hardcoe of course

I've had my character in mind for a while, just had to make a few changes:

Name - Reina(I always call my first character by that name, as long as the game has the rare option of gender choice and character creation which so many games lack)

Gender: Female.

Age: 31

Bio: Born in the ruins of a destroyed town, Reina found herself having to fend for herself at the age of five when her parents were killed while looking for food in the ruins of a supermarket. She was taken in by a kindly family who found her barely alive after a mole rat attack and they did the best they could for her.
At the age of 18, she left her home in order to try and live her own life and felt regret at doing so when she learned that her foster parents were killed a week later by raiders.

After spending almost a decade struggling to survive after being first made a slave, and managing to escape by sheer luck, and then being hunted by the slavers for years until she managed to kill them in a trap, she found gainful employment by working for a courier service that was attempting to restore the long destroyed post system.

Reina is a strongly independent person who tends to avoid forming any strong friendships and avoids relationships, she focuses on her work and prefers to be alone. Although she isn't very strong physically, she has a strong intellect and a love of learning. Her manner is pretty detached when around people and she rarely shows much emotion due to feeling that to do so would make her an easy target for those who use weakness to their advantage.
Deep down however Reina is lonely and wishes that she could find some good to her life.

She tends to prefer using melee weapons for the most part and guns only as a last resort so not to waste any ammo unless required.

It's a basic profile, nothing much. I usually work on the rest while playing, like I did with Fallout 3 and other games that allow the rare option of a female lead to play as and create.

Name:Dante.
Type of Character: Neutral mercenary that works for the highest bid
Faction:Mr.House's aid or the NCR.I haven't decided yet so I'll wait until the game releases.
Specialty:Energy Weapons and sniping
Tagged Skills:Energy weapons,guns and speech.
Working On:EW,guns,speech,lockpicking,sciences,repair,and speech.
Traits:Wild wasteland is the only one so far.

I haven't ever pre-configured my characters. Even going back to TFT/ITL, the first RPG I ever played as a kid. I can't think of any single character (well that doesn't include anything I generated as a GM/worldsmith) that was pre-determined. I never really thought about it, and it isn't really by design. I guess I'm just lazy I just have a highly developed economy of effort. I'll just go with whatever pops into my head when the screen asks for my name.

I've Thouroghly thought up my first 2 characters, and my last will probably be a military-based character.

Im gonna be chuck norris, leader of the Legion! Ha, no seriously if i can make my guy look like chuck norris im gonna be chuck norris.

I thought the exact same thing when I read his post.

I have come up with an in depth roleplay for my first character and basic ideas for my other ones. I'll list their basic backgrounds.

1. Raised by a Caravan Merchant, and began guarding that caravan when he got older, until it was overrun by a group of raiders, him being the only survivor. Wanders alone for about 2 years until he picks up a job as a courier.
2. Ex-raider/gang member, led a group of 10 that would roam around and rob anybody who was less tough than them. Eventually, they staged a mutiny and he was able to escape with his life. After this, he decides to pick up an honest job, and establishes a set of morals for himself. These morals just so happen to follow the ideals of CL very closely.
3. As a child, his older brother always talked about going to a place known as New Vegas, a place with riches and happiness. His brother soon set off towards this area, and they never heard from him again. In memory of his brother, on his 21st birthday, he set out on a journey to find it.

Only thing I have set for the first one is to join The Legion.
I'll play the game the way I want to play it. (Meaning, no I won't roleplay as "me" and no I won't roleplay as a different character.)

And w00t pwn 18 days HECK YAAAAA

I'm going to try to make my first character based off of how I would try to be if I lived in the wastes, then the RPing shall start.
(I have a countdown on my phone's calendar for New Vegas.

Well, for my first playthough im not really gonna "make" a character, im just going to play the game.

But on my 2nd playthrough im going to be playing hardcoe mode, ill make a character then.

I don't know what path I'll take, but I'm doing a Man With No Name-type cowboy (except I'm specialising in energy weapons).

He'll NEVER get rid of his alcohol addiction, which means Cass will probably be my companion of choice. I wouldn't mind Raul either, so I might have to tinker with the GECK to make them balanced enough to be able to use both (ED-E and Rex don't hugely appeal to me, so I'll still have 2 companions).

I've decided I'm going to try my best to stay in-character at all times, so that means cussing out/blasting people who annoy me, and dealing with the consequences later. The path I choose will be based on who appeals most to my character's values, and not my own tastes, so it should be an interesting ride!

im going to be a pacifistic person, when i pick if someone gets to live or die, they usually get to live, slavers are an exception

I will be a pre war business man/gambler who also has enough combat knowledge to scour the wastes looking for thing to sell.

did the vault dweller seriously say that?

Yes but I forgot where he said it.. I know right? I questioned some of the quotes from the Vault Dweller and The Chosen One myself. But then I played the originals.

18 days 1 hour 17 minutes and 40 seconds

My Pandora keeps playing Fastball's: Are you ready for the fallout, and I keep thinking YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES....
