I remember Fallout had a bunch of stuff to read on computers.

To add on this, playing a very low intelligence character in the old Fallout is really an experience to try.
From the start you can even feel the despair of your tribe shaman that send you to get the item that should save your tribe, knowing they're probably all doomed because there's no way you'll get things done

But in the same time it's much much harder too as most NPC that could be usefull in normal condition will not help/join (as most of the NPC will treat you like crap, showing their true color and most will enjoy to just humiliate you) and the majority of quests will become impossible to obtain or complete (some towns become useless for your character as you will have nothing to do) because your character is too stupid to figure out some basic stuff required. 

A good tip would be to always have those pills that increase temporarly your intelligence when you need to talk to one of the quest giver, but doing so also defeat the point of playing a low intelligence character. You can always try to take revenge on every NPC that humiliate you , but that's going to be a long list of people that will get hostile to you once you start killing.

I wonder if the game storyline is actually completable with such character as i never went past mid-game myself with that kind of build (as the too few quests that are possible with low intelligence to obtain made the game a bit too flat).

Playing a Mentat-dependent dumbass sounds funny though, tbh.

[Aoi]

I've never done it myself, but I've heard that it's very much doable with a no-int character... And actually easier than it sounds because you're reallocating those points into combat focused stuff.

[Il Palazzo]

IIRC with low int scores you get almost no skill points per level, so you end up pretty much locked into initial combat effectiveness. Which is respectable when you're spearing rad scorpions in the opening chapters, but quickly leaves you underpowered as compared to high-int characters. You can cheese it with mentats a bit, taking them before levelling up, but there's only so many you can reliably get your hands on.

[E. Albright]

They skewer the low-int experience a bit in the second game where there's a particularly dumb NPC. If you're his intellectual equal, you'll have a meaningful conversation with him that'd otherwise end up being nonsense and babytalk.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, the spiritual successor of the first two Fallout games, balances it further with a mandatory starting companion that can help you out a bit.  I also found that game was surprisingly easy as a strong melee focused character.

But melee is not the best at the part where you engage in prostitution.

I'd think engaging in prostitution at melee range would be preferable than at a distance?  ...

Tell that to onlyfans. Ranged prostitution is clearly preferred over melee these days.

[King Zultan]

Would phone sex count as ranged prostitution?

...but they also have Magic

Kindof a reverse recommend question.
I'm pondering getting Project Hospital while it's on sale.
Anyone play it? Is it any good?

Good Question!
Maybe you could get it and tell us?
