Fallout Series - Megathread

[Uncle Bengs]

its time to help fred!

what kind of character should i make for NV? mainly worried about attributes/who to align with

how i did it:
align with no one
all stuff in SPECIAL set to 5-7
add all points to lockpick, science, guns, speech and melee weapons oh and repair

oh and uh
here's my fo3 character. level 6, first playthrough on pc. he uses guns, sneak, has a high speach. he's evil, has jericho as a follower. we killed most of the people in megaton prior to nuking it.

I just went to the memorial east of goodsprings and there was this sword stuck in the ground there.
I need 8 strength and some melee skill to pull it out.
I have never seen this before. Is it added by Project Nevada?

The only drawback to being a stealth character is that your weapon choice is so limited unless you're making a shot from a mile away where your enemies cannot hear the gunshot. Oh well.
And the silenced 10mm works for stealth, but it does only 4 damage. :l

i have a silenced hunting rifle

so badass

I actually find the laser pistol works well for stealth. It emits no light, is reasonably powerful, ammo is relatively easy to come by, and for some reason my enemies don't seem to react to it as strongly as they would to, say, a 10mm SMG. Crit chance is raised, and a critical hit reduces the victim to a smouldering pile of ash while not damaging the items in the victim's inventory.

Laser pistol is super accurate when you're crouching and holding rmb

A laser rifle with all three mods is basically a sniper. I've been kicking some ass with it.

That's what I used too before I got Enclave Power Armor.

Is it now? I shall have to look into that when I can get my hands on a laser rifle.
I just realized that, while the radio echoes slightly when in a metro tunnel or similar "dungeon", it has no effect on the Lone Wanderer's sneaking ability. No more wandering through DC without Agatha playing her sweet songs on her Soil Stradivadius, or Three Dog chatting about my adventures in between spots of highly setting-appropriate jazz music, or "President" John Henry Eden blaring Capitalist propaganda and very catchy patriotic marches.

And while people are still too asleep to comment on this topic, I must again edit: I did not anticipate the Ghoul Mask and Shady Hat would make me look like Freddy Krueger in Recon Armor. But it does.

Now get your companion to put on a hockey mask and leather armor so he can look like Jason. :D
