Heh, I actually always tend to max out luck - but then, I build characters built around criticals (usually take jynxed and finesse as well), and Luck has lots of FUN things associated with it, random-encounter-wise, if I remember correctly. Luck is one of those stats you should either max out or min out - the extremes are the most fun, by far.

What is the +8 str for, by the way? Especially if we're doing small guns instead of melee, it seems like a waste, and ESPECIALLY since you can get at least the power armor boost you might remember from last game. If we're doing a charismatic but evil leader-type, I'd rate stat importance as:
1.Charisma/Luck
2.Intelligence
3.Perception/Agility (Useful, but a good int quickly counteracts the benefit of a good perception, and agility is more about picking the right number than a high number)
4.Strength (4 for rifles, 2 for pistols, add 2 if you want an early game advantage, anything more is a waste).
5. Endurance/Luck

I will try to avoid any talk of minmaxing. :twitch:
I'd put the highs around 8 though.

Of course, your stats also determine which perks you have available to you... hmm...

But yeah, don't waste points on strength.

Edit: Following spoiler regards the reason why I think you need +8 str and +8 agi. Sorry people!

I seem to recall being able to become a pornstar if you have +8 agi, +8 str and a certain amount (most likely +8) cha. Who doesn't want to be an evil pornstar pimp girl thing?

Gah. If you're going to go put spoilers in spoilers, at least tell me that the spoilers in the spoilers are actually spoilers, and are not those stupid spoilers which contain no spoilers and thus cannot actually spoil anything, okay?

[GlyphGryph]

THIS IS A SPOILER DON'T LOOK

Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER! SPOILER! (click to show/hide)

This is the formula, strength isn't needed. In fact, it's the least useful.

The star means +1 for Sex Appeal (which we have), and other bonuses from other perks I won't go into.

Also, drugs. If you don't have the stats, you use drugs. Oooh yeah.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Damn it, now I'm not sure if you're actually serious or just pulling my leg.

[GlyphGryph]

Actually, if you already read the previous spoiler, it doesn't even matter, it's just the actual (complicated) stat formula for the event described,

[USEC_OFFICER]

Oh. Thank god.

...

Crap. Looks like I'm 200 some-odd sort.

Remove some from Luck. Make our character extremely unlucky. Take gifted in order to reach the requirements easier. Perhaps chop a bit off INT if the rest doesn't mind? INT and Perception, as our talkative character won't really need perception for the most part. Keep INT above 4 though or else we're in for a hilarious LP

[GlyphGryph]

There's plenty of in-game items that boost stats, a perk I KNOW you'll be taking gives a +2 to the final total, you'll be fine, trust me.

Also, INT is by and far the most important stat to building a character capable of surviving the wastes and getting most of the good content, and Charisma is much more useful when combined with also having some clue what to say.

That would probably be the best first playthrough of this game ever.

So I'll have to take some points out of PER then, and perhaps even LUCK. It'll all work out in the end, somehow.

[GlyphGryph]

Like I said, with luck, you are better off keeping it at 9 or 10 or dropping it to 1 or 2

Though 1 or 2 luck makes for LETHAL HILARITY in some situations.

Is everyone fine with using this as a character?

[GlyphGryph]

I think the 9s are a bit unneeded, but allover pretty good!

[GlyphGryph]

Looks good to me!
