Fallout 2 character...

[bloodlover]

Greetings everyone. I just joined the forum and this is my first post so try to be gentle

Now, here's my problem. As far as the series goes I've only played F3 and that was a total mess. I tried to make some kind of diplomat/thief but by the time I finished the game (without touching any DLC) I ended up being a full combat char >.> . This was ok I guess but kind of far from the role playing I was looking for.

I want to start playing F2 but this time with a more diplomatic approach. Is it possible to make a good char with role playing perspective but at the same time not to suck at combat? My companions would probably deal with the fights as far as I know but I don't want to depend 100% on them...

Char and Int would be major stats I suppose and speech, steal and... big guns maybe ?

Well you can do it but you have to use these stats,I personally finished the game with 120 speech skill,and I just realised I wasted a tag skill and points.
Speech is good in some cases but it can not protect you from fighting
INT should always be 10 no matter what char you play,AG 9-10,if you want a diplomatic char your CH should be at least 7-8-9,the tag skills should be ''Good Natured'' and ''Gifted'' or ''Skilled'',you choose.
For protecting yourself you should choose either ''Small Guns'' or ''Unarmed or Melee'',big gun and energy weapons come later in the game and ammo is very expensive,but if you are going to be a diplomat you should invest points in ''Barter'' because you will get very big discounts at shops
