tell me what you think.

I'd personally take a couple of points from Charisma and spend them on something else.

If you don't like running around, take the medicine skill, 1) It is very handy and 2) you can help cure Caesar without grabbing the parts from the Vaults, or enslave Arcade Gannon. So that's my suggestion. Pretty good on everything else.

On the subject of Legion, if you play a women can you still join them? (sorry, i just didnt want to create a whole new thread for one question).

yes you can.

Yep, IIRC not that much interesting dialogue but there were a couple of things. All the quests (hah, 'all') are playable still.

i usually like dungeon crawling so i wont mind.
