All of which can be perused through here.

Fallout 1 guide is said to be finished, as well as a Wasteland guide. In Per's style, they are rather thorough and well-written, and worth a look for most questions about the game.
 
hey

Does anyone agree with Pers recommended characters for FO1, giving them 1 charisma? It sounds like you will always get the bad response from people even though you have a high speech, I'm debating wether to attempt that type of character.
 
To POOPERSCOOPER

From what I know there isn't any diffrence except for bartering. I've played once with charisma 2 and I don't remember any trouble from it.
 
I think there's some dialog differences, but not much. You can work your way out of having a low CHA.
 
Hmm, well, this can only mean that Per is still alive somewhere if he's still making guides. So where is this Per fellow? I remember reading his posts on the old boards, but I haven't seen him here yet.
 
low cha in Fallout 1

Yes, there are a handful of poor reactions that a low charisma character will suffer. For example, he'll almost never get Tandi to tell him the story about the deathclaw (barring arbitrary save/reloads to make a miraculous CHA roll). However, all of those bad reactions together isn't really signifigant. For just about every remotely important conversation tree, you can lean on a high speech/intelligence stat to get you through. In FO1, charisma is utterly a trash stat.

Which is, of course, another major fix in Fallout2. Not only does a FO2 character need a decent charisma to pick up the (much improved) NPCs, charisma checks are also more important for key conversation branches (becoming a porn star, captain of the guard, etc). Fallout 2's trash stat then becomes endurance, which anyone but a brawler can lock in at 3.
 
You want a good character? Here it is:

ST: 6, PE: 8, EN: 5, CH: 5, IN: 9, AG: 9, LK: 5

Traits: Fast Shot, Gifted

Tags: Small Guns, Energy Weapons, Steal

I never had problem with anything playing with this stats.
 
I don't agree with your prefered traits and one tag. I think that taking Fast Shot as Tag, you kill one of the most enjoyable part of the game (because you don't have precise targeting). Inmy opinion better one is for example Kamikaze).

As regards tags, I prefer Big Guns instead of Energy Weapons.
