sniper character.

Im thinking of playing through with a sniper/small guns in general character. I was wondering what were good stats/traits to start with, good tag skills and good perks to take.

A popular choice.

>I was wondering what were good stats/traits to start with,

High Perception (8+) to shoot better.
High Agility (8+) to shoot more.
High Luck (7) for better chance of doing so serious damage.
Moderate Strength (4-5) to be able to hold a gun.
Low Endurance (1-2) since you're no longer a front line fighter and need the points for the more important stats. Of course, your sex life will suffer. LOL.
As for Intelligence and Charisma, it's your choice.

>good tag skills

Small Gun is a no brainer
I like Sneak as well, but that's just me. I'm a big chicken who's allergic to pain, so if they can't see where I'm shooting from, they won't shoot back. :)

>and good perks to take.

You've gotta get Sniper, Bonus Rate of Fire and Better Critical
Silent Running if you're a sneaky sniper like me, otherwise it's a wasted perk.
 
RE: sniper character.

A few other good perks as well.

Bonus Range Damage - (I believe you can get two or threelevels of this one)
Living Anatomy
AP Boy - (both levels) Think of it as a free reload

I generally keep my perception at 7 and get the Sharp Shooter Perk.
 
RE: sniper character.

My other problem is getting through the early game (like rescuing smiley ect.) Without being able to take hits and use my fists or melee weapons, and no real guns are available to me (maybe deagle if i kill a shopkeeper in the den, i duno though). Any suggestions for the early game?
 
RE: sniper character.

This is not the greatest suggestion but it works. Wonder the wastes around the Den, and wait for random encounters with slavers or whomever. Do your best to try and kill them. It is hard especially if all you have is a handgun. Most of the time they will have a hunting rifle or SMG so it is worth it to spend the time and reloads to do it.

Pipe rifle in Klamath - "vic's house"
10mm Pistol in rat caves on corpse
 
RE: sniper character.

I was able to take out golden geckos with the 10mm Pistol by shooting their legs. If you cripple them they wimp out completely and try to run instead of stay and fight (which would seem to be the sensible option if you just got your leg crippled). Preferably take on no more than one at a time.

a great perk for all around is quick pockets... now in the ap's needed to reload, you can reload, use some stims, or change weapons if need be.
