Well, I usually play as the socially awkward badass gunslinger who can rob you blind and MacGyvers his way to victory. Either that or a slick ladies man who talks his way out of everything. If not, he'll FILL YOU WITH BOOLETS.

Although I do also have the bisexual charismatic stripper assassin explosives-obsessed cowgirl playthrough...

Also, the unarmed build is so easy to play its funny.

I had tons of fun with a Mad Scientist playthrough, personally.

After I finish the game I think I'll try an evil tank character(high END and STR, uses unarmed/melee). Evil because it's easier to get in range with the good guys.

I'm going to make a real gentleman build, namely, James Bond.

I'm thinking of:
  • S - 3 - He's not much of a tough guy in the first movies, he doesn't use his strength a lot anyways.
  • P - 4 - He may be quite perceptive, but that's not the main point in his character.
  • E - 3 - Same as strength.
  • C - 7 - Charismatic, womanizing... To be increased via Intense training.
  • I - 7 - Dumbasses don't get to be MI6 agents. To be increased via Intense training.
  • A - 7 - He's a good shot. Since my character will start out, he shouldn't be the ace of agility. To be increased via Intense training
  • L - 9 - In my opinion, that's who James Bond is - a lucky bastard.

Tags:
  • Speech
  • Sneak
  • Guns

Traits:
  • Trigger Discipline

Perks:
  • Lady Killer - +10% damage to the opposite sex and unique dialogue options with certain characters.
  • Intense Training x9 - Extra attribute point
  • Gunslinger - More accuracy in V.A.T.S. with one-handed weapons.
  • The Professional - Your sneak attack criticals with revolvers, pistols, and submachine guns (guns and energy weapons) all inflict an additional 20% damage.
  • Finesse - +5% Critical Chance.
  • Silent Runner - Running no longer factors into a successful sneak attempt.
  • Sniper - More likely to hit the target's head in V.A.T.S.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

It might be difficult to have a good marksman with below average Per, maybe shift a point from Cha?

Wait, perception affects guns, not agility?

According to the vault:
  • Increased range for enemy detection.
  • Energy Weapons
  • Explosives
  • Lockpick

Perception would make sense for a bond character I think. At least a five. I mean, he always did have a knack for noticing things

I was certain it had an effect on accuracy, perhaps I'm wrong though.

This game is really starting top annoy me >.>
I went to the place where I found Veronica because someone said there was someone who sells ammo. I went there earlier and I get owned by Heavy NCR guys, so this time I gave Veronica the Gauss Rifle and we killed everyone. too bad we also killed the merchants so we have no one to buy ammo from. There was also a Heavy NCR guy who was waling in the air and Veronica was walking after him and I was walking after her because I needed her to carry some crap for me... really frustrating.

Than I saw there was a caravanier place on the mini map so I went there and suddenly I had about 15 guys punching and shooting at me. Luckily they were very weak so me and Veronica killed them all but I really want to find a place to find some ammo because the Gun Runner shop is all out of ammo

So I have to Q's for you:
1. Is there another place to buy (lots of) ammo?
2. Is there a place to repair my weapons? I used to go to some friendly NCR colonel in some camp in the southwest but i killed him so that's not really an option...

Reall,y if you decided to start to murder the most proeminent faction, those that have an organised army and thus ammo, you really bought this upon yourself. Think ahead next time

The answer is to find out what ammo your enemy commonly uses, and use weapons that use that ammo. That way, you can get more just by looting the bodies.

Well, at first I tried to do the NCR quests and just ignore the Legion.
But than I saw that they crucify people and I changed my mind ^^

Does anyone know if there is a way to not kill the BOS bunker and not piss of Caesar?

FAKEEDIT: Yeah, I use the light machine gun / sevice rifle and they use the ammo NCR uses (they have service rifles) but I also want ammo for my sniper rifle and I need my Light machine gun repaired.

I'll see if I can just buy a new one

Any character should have jury rigging, and if you side with ceasar, bunker need to go
