The Elvis Presley Build

BEST. THREAD. EVER.

I have to try this. Although I disagree with the addiction to chems part, but I don't want to start an argument on how he died. :wink_smile:

I would wear either the Jailhouse rocker outfit. Or reverse pick pocket The King's outfit.

He would have to have a 100 in Unarmed for obvious reasons (he was a black belt).

2. I have not used another gun since getting the Mysterious Magnum. It is just too perfect for this character.


Elvis favored a .357 when it came time to put down a television set but they don't have a DA .357 in the game...so I'd say that is the best choice for him. :lol:

Hey, in my version, he didn't die. :) (And he still doesn't very much, given that I keep him pretty irradiated with the Rad Child perk, the Phoenix Monocyte Breeder, and Solar Powered, plus two ranks of Toughness and the Subdermal Implant!)

The chem part was, for me, mostly inspired by this tidbit on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley#Military_service_and_mother.27s_death_.281958.E2.80.9360.29:

"Introduced to amphetamines by a sergeant while on maneuvers, he became 'practically evangelical about their benefits'—not only for energy, but for 'strength' and weight loss, as well—and many of his friends in the outfit joined him in indulging."

Didn't really put enough points into Medicine to get Chem-related perks, though...

Thanks also to the earlier poster with the tip about face creation. I may try that on my next character!

Now we just need a pc user to make him much older and add a black, elderly, JFK as his companion.

I love this idea. :laugh:

I'm even a little bit inspired to try this on the PC sometime. I'd probably base it mostly on what you're doing, as I like your character build so far, but at the very least I could use mods and the G.E.C.K. to get him looking closer to the real Elvis. Plus I could Fraps the playthrough and put it on Youtube.

Also a suggestion. If you're really working towards making him good at unarmed, you could go to Novac and (minor spoiler)

learn the Ranger Takedown from the NCR ranger there. Seems like something a martial arts-based character would find useful.

As close as the King leader, he's pretty cool! He gave my grandma hulk an extra paw! We're going to go hunting for loot!

Sorry, Pace!


I've been switching between the Pompadour and the Tunnel Snake haircuts as the whim strikes me.
