Blast.

Okay, never mind.

make traits then.

[Deon]

There're many traits and perks out there, but you can invent more!

[Mindmaker]

My min-maxer side got the better of me.
Even though I have a character at level 14, I'm going to start over, switch to melee weapons and watch trait requirements more carefully.

Why couldn't they make unarmed and melee into one skill? Hard to decide when both look that awesome.

[Deon]

Just take the "mod" which unites their requirements. Or get more intelligence . It's easy to max 2 skills at level 10-12.

I dislike mods which make the game too easy.
And yes it would have been easy to max 2 stats by this time, but at the cost of missing out on a lot of content.

However my brother decided it would be a good idea to change the language settings, which forces me to update all those files.
Great now I have to wait 2 hours, until I can play again.

But yes I'll probably go for a melee build this time.
The only thing that bothers me, that I would need to distribute points evenly betwee melee and unarmed, if I want to get all those useful melee perks.
Is this even doable?

If its making you think like that, its working like an RPG should. Melee and unarmed definitely should require two different category's

But most of the perks they unlock apply to both.
However I should be able to get them all, if I stock to my plan.

Just don't forget to get a comprehension early, you will get +4 skill points from books.

Yeah I know.
I planned my skills up to level 24.

I'll keep the last save of my last character around, should I decide that he isn't as screwed up as I thought.

I don't bother to min-max in fallout games.  With powerful weapons, you can defeat the strongest enemies with even a middling weapon skill.  Heck, I don't even put any points into guns even though I use guns for a lot of standard enemies.  It probably helps that hit the jackpot on the slots and can afford whatever I want... assuming I can find it for sale.

[Deon]

Yeah, Fallout 3/NV has almost no real requirements to play but SPEECH checks to pass some quests. You still can repair stuff to maximum (now) and kill anything with proper tactics.

Ya and that's what I love, it's a great improvement, or the old system, anyone would be able to figure out how to fire a flame thrower, but if you never had you're gonna be terrible at it, but not bad enough to not be able to kill something.

[mainiac]

I miss the car from fallout 2.  They should bring that back.  Either that or the hummer from fallout tactics.  Driving a hummer through a radioactive wasteland is pretty much the definition of freedom.

One of my favorite moments from my first playthrough was

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Doing the Brotherhood Initiation mission by killing the Van Graffs (who I had been having a LOT of big dealings with. Cass and I got together as a team because of their mission, and the only reason I didn't turn her in was because she initiated the quest to go investigate her caravans as I was approaching the door, and I thought "Hey, let's do that first"). They were tough cookies. I wasn't really prepared for them.

So I stole the Plasma Caster on the table and used it to three hit everybody. Hardest challenge was Jean Paul, after I ran out of fusion cells. Had to duel him with a riot shotgun and a whole bunch of frag mines.
