I usually play myself my first time through a game. Well, a version of me who kills people. Sometimes.
Good guy, young, doesn't like the big guns or melee weapons too much, and sides with whoever has the people's wishes in mind.
And looks badass doing it all.

...and he gets hit by lightning every once in a while and is more hidious than a dead skunk. Nice.

For me I have no problem slipping into a skirt... that didn't sound right. :facepalm:

Well, anyway. Being a chick ain't so bad.

my guy

Age-24. during events of new vegas

Solomon Marx- to sum it up. he is a farmboy from Redding who was orphaned at an early age and had to live with his uncle who taught him how to hunt and survive.his uncle eventually died in his sleep leaving Solomon all alone. Solomon went into a deep depression. drinking, getting high. anything to help him accept his loss. he eventually quit the stuff and decided to start a new life far away....in new vegas. sadly things didnt work out and he had to get a job as a courier to support himself.

My first character plans are

Name+: Alexader/M/20
Faction: BoS
Class: Sniper
-Energy weapons (If they add Energy sniper rifles, otherwise hello All-American/Anti-material Rifle)
-Sneak (For crit. striking and not getting caught in buildings)
-Melee weapons (Taking out enemies that are too close for comfort)
-Explosives (Mine my location if someone spots me)
-The rest I'll decide in time
I'll decide the S.P.E.C.I.A.L.s later.


My second character plans are
Name+: Ariel/F/23
Faction: Caesar's Legion
Class: M.E.t.F.D. (Mow Everything the :whistling: Down)
-Guns (Light Machinegun/Minigun)
-Explosives (Grenade Machine Gun as well as grenade + C4)
-Medicine (Have to get back into the battlefield fast)
-Survival (It'll come in handy rations are low and i have the means to make them)
Same as above, though high Strength is must for low accuracy/fast firing weapons.

That's all for now.

Bless you all for being as obsessed as I am.
I think the intervention folks would say we're "co-enablers".
The game developer folks just refer to us as "marks".

PERK (early game)
Edu-muh-cated

SKILLS by rank
Guns, Lock picking, Repair
Sneak, Speech, Medicine, Explosives, Survival (maybe)

Early game as "Scavenger" class, develop sneak, medicine, speech + tag skills
Loot everything in sight and collect equipment, master conventional firearms -
Plenty of skill points to distribute and accumulated wealth from scavenging.

Late game, Syd is a wasteland ninja and master of self-sufficiency.
Firepower, stealth or subterfuge to deal with any situation.

He holds a grudge and has serious rage issues, but lives by a code.
Completely pathological about helping the underdog and offing anyone who exploits the weak.
Always carries something for long-range and a shotgun for close work.
Roams the desert at will, shooting murderers, rapists and tyrants - seizing their assets for redistribution.

:rock:

(notice all the closet marxist/anarchists that play Fallout? coincidence ..?) :whistling:

he will have high strength, charisma, and luck tag skills : guns meele lockpick
very good karma, always tries to help innocent people, wears a leather jacket and a cowboy hat. manly uses rifles and knives. wont hesitate to take the law into his own hands if he thinks its right. name: johnny brown

Name? Ritz, it's my nick name, As for how my charcter will look? Identical to how I look (I do that in every game which allows custom characters ) What type of character will I be? NCR Black OP's in desert armor with Lock picking pistols sneak and survival.

I want to play hardcoe from the get go which is why i pre-ordered from gamestop (that vault 13 canten will be a life saver)

Im gunna make my classic character that i have made in every game,
Name:Carson age: 21 six:male Karma: Good
S:5 P:6 E:6 C:5 I:6 A:6 L:6
Tag Skills: Repair, Small Guns, Sneak
Prefered Clothing:Merc Advebturer outfit,Sunglasses, Pre-War Hat
Favorite F3 weapons: Combat shotgun, 44. Magnum, 10mm SMG, Combat Knife
Hmm, I think my Fallout NV Gear will consist of: Colt 45., Riot Shotgun (if Possible if not, any shotgun will do for Carson!), Any Small Auto-Matic, and Boxing Gloves
Class: Mercenary
Faction: Uknown at the moment
Self Motto: "You don't need a better gun, you just need better aim!"
Bio: Essentially Carson understands that good deeds lead to rewards, plus that righteous feeling of justice, but mainly Carson just drifts from place to place looking for work to make meats end, He essentially just approaches the issue at hand with the best gun he has in the best way possible, whether that manes a switch blade to the face or A sniper rifle from 200 yards, Carson usually rejects Most BOS and Enclave Technology, and would fire bullets over lasers any day, he may use some energy weapons on ocation but only in times of need for a red streak of death. Over all, Carsons just a nice guy trying to make it in the wasteland. :gun:

My first character will be Brainy , perceptive, lucky and extremely weak.
Most likely I'll tag.. medicine, science and repair... I can't really say what traits I'll take until I know what they all are.
I'm going to go on instinct on what faction to choose.. Just choose who ever my character would like the most. I'm going to try to do as many neutral things as possible to get as many possible quests until I really have to choose a faction to side with. I'm thinking that each faction will most likely have a turning point that if you go beyond will ruin your chances at doing quests for other factions.

Can you actully decide what age your char is gonna be? I have'nt really followed whats been happening lately.

As for my char i think i'll just make what i always make, a female tagged in guns (since small arms and big guns i the same skill if i remember right), repair, and most likely stealth.

If the game starts you with 40 special points like fallout 3 i'll most likely set it up like this.

S-6

At least until i figure out what perks require what then i will work on fine tuning everything and hopefully manage to get at least one char up to the level cap before starting a new one.

OCD Thief. He drinks from any water sources he comes across and opens every door he encounters. In his house, a huge pile of scavenged spoons, pencils, and pool-balls.

I try to make Fallout 3 characters look as weird as I can get them, so I imagine doing the same in NV. Then I'll roleplay him as defined by the classic DnD alignment: true neutral... help one side until they are losing, then switch sides... help them until the other guy's losing and switch back... I imagine ending the game with hated reputation in all factions, all my companions dead, and character highly irradiated. But that pencil collection? It's the tops.

With the new stat "Nerve" you're going to have problems with companions.

heil caesar's legion!!!! :run: :intergalactic: :dmc:

a 80 years old, homo, ghoul named frank in caesar's legion :hubbahubba:

Don't think we'll be able to go to 80.
We can't be a ghoul.
Please edit your first post instead of double posting

I am going to make a do gooder in my first play through. hi focus will be strength, endurance, and intelligence. he serves NCR who requested his services. he is far more capable with his skills than he believes and fails to realize the difference between skill and luck.

he often finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets blamed for things he didn't do

he's not stupid, just a ditz and his age is about 18.

an example of his mission abilities is as follows.

(Sneaking through the Caesars legion camp, tasked with blowing it up.)
(sneak check failed) Legionnaire: Hey you, what the hell are you doing.
Me: Who me? i was just umm... (pulls out virgin marry pistol and begins firing while fleeing into a nearby structure)
(Building enter. roulette loading screen. handy hint. screen returns) inside is full of legionnaires with guns trained on him. panics and begins flinging grenades all around the room and attempts to head back outside. just before leaving the grenades go off killing the legionnaires and launching him face first into the door and onto the floor. he then returns to his feet and exits. (this time the screen is black with only the roulette loading symbol. Screen returns.)
outside is entire camp aiming at the door he runs with C4 in hand and taking several ass shots and flings the charge towards a large container. he then activates the charge setting the camp ablaze with the contents of the container.
(returns to NCR camp. the lights are out) upon entry the entire camp takes aim at him and he alarmingly raises his hands.
NCR Captain: WHAT THE [censored] IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!!
Me: wha-what did i do?
NCR Captain: WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT DID YOU DO YOU JUST BLEW UP THE [censored] DAM!!!

You know, that's interesting.... reading this, I realized that I've never tried to make "me" in any RPG that I've played. It's never once occurred to me. (And I've been playing various RPGs since the 80s.)


Hmm.

Playing "me" would be boring as all I'd do is drink coffee, smoke, sweep the floors, carry some drums and speakers then drink coffee and smoke with my friends until finally going to sleep.

Hell if I'd meet a deathclaw I'd just pour some salt over me and stick an apple in my mouth.

But I'm going to play my first playthrough as "what I want to do" instead of "me".
(Changed my plans, I don't want to limit myself during the first playthrough, I wanna do what I wanna do, use what I wanna use, kill who I wanna kill etc, so diplomat playthrough will be my 2nd one instead.)

YOU sir are Evil Incarnate!

I aprove

as for me my first one is probably going to be like my first one in some games,

S ~4 (depends on how carry weight and load is worked out)
P 5
E -leftover points
C 8-10 to unlock Cha based questlines
I 5--8
A 8-5
L kind of random

Bascialy limmited to 1-3 guns, lighter armor Tags of guns, speach, and either science or lockpicking

Finding it hard to decide which team to go for :


Caesers Legion- Sound horrible but behind the gore could be the heart of what Ashur was doing or something.

NCR- They seem good but stories are emerging of corrupt officers etc

People of New Vegas- It isn't clear who populated most of vegas and it seems to be under NCR/House control



Someone mentioned earlier the idea of Mr.House gambling Vegas to you which I think is pure genius: you could decide to let in factions or be like Cartman when he gets a themepark

Unless you check a single box in the GECK.

Hell, if they put a Tommy gun in here I'll be all over the Mafiosi look. Trench coat, wide brimmed hat, Tommy hidden on the inside. Dario Ermmano. "Mr./Mrs. __________ sends their regards." *Unloads Thompson*
Becasue we all know there's going to be, "Go kill this guy." Quests. So I have to say something cool ^^


Otherwise, neutral badass with a (hopefully unscoped) .44 magnum and an AK-47. And the biggest knife I can find. The Sandman. He'll look like my avatar.

Someone who chews bubblegum and kicks ass.
