The perfect soldier

[ABX]

I have played several times the Fallout series (I think i finished fallout 1/2 10/20 times), and I have found out my pfrect soldier.

Trait

Giffted (must)
Fast shot (sometimes is better not take it due to the fact that an aimed shot neutralize the enemy, exp. in F2 where a good shot in the eye/senzor/... could totaly neutraize an enemy.) But in FOT it doesn't happen so...

Skill

Small guns
Energy weapons
Sneak (in F1/2 steal)

Strenght 6 (Power Armor S+4 whit strenght less then 6 you have problem whit weapon holding)
Percepion 8 (Sharpshooter P+2)
Endurance 8 (it's allways good to have a lot of HP)
Charisma 2 (In FOT it's totaly useless)
Intelligence 8/7 (here i'm in doubt whit luck)
Agility 8
Luck 6/7 (See Intelligence)


Skill points

Small guns (don't put any point beyond 100% due to the fact that out there you will find a lot of books)
Energy weapons (as much as you can 150/180%)
Sneak (those god damn armour are BIG so you will need somethink like 170% whitout armour)
First Aid (nothink just read books)
Doctor (good think to know how to patch yourself)
Drive/Repair (well those are good but hey you are not alone out there so use someone else)
Gamble/trade (same as drive/repair)
Other skills are useless or you will get points from the books

Perks

Night vision + 20% (excelent for night sniping)
Awareness (not very usefull, you will know the exact HP and weapon of an enemy but you still have to kill him)
Bonus move (a must for Turn based, useless whit Real time)
Bonus rate of fire (must)
Sharpshooter (must for snipers)
Sniper (killing machine)
Empathy (a must for F1/2 doesn't need a shit in FOT)
Silent running (well I like to do think fast very fast, good only for FOT)
Toughness ( exelent perk if you have already selected the must have)
New entry whit FOT (don't remember the name cuz right now I'm on work but the opposite of Team player(which seems to not work) will give you +10% on all skills)


Here is my favorite all around player, right now I'm playing on medium level and I'm kill those mutie bastards all alone.
I haven't finished the game yet so maybe this list is subject to change, but right now I haven't used a single medikit/stimpack, (now I'm in Newtown)

Considering this an all around player tell me if you think that some choices are better then others.

Actually that's a ****ing nice character. I'd be interested to know how you handle the enemies you meet later on though since they can be pretty deadly but still, all your stats seem to be perfect. A pitty that stealing is rendered so useless in FOT though, it was one of my main skills in Fallout 1/2. Btw, what does empathy do again?

It seems like a good soldier you've raised..

I thinking restarting the game, I have spent to many points on big guns, sneaking (yes, I don't want it), science (made a mistake when I started the game ´coz I thought it would improve some other things...)..

But I have Gifted & Fast shoot at least..

Well well....

Basicly it was a great bonus in dialogue mode
Whit Emphaty in F1/2 you could see which answers were good/neutral/bad.


Energy weapon skill is a must for the end game. I don't like big guns cuz you get it too late. Besides they are good only for close combat. And if you really need a great machine gun you can still use the energy based one you get very late in the game (F1/2).

Yes, steal was my 3rd favoride skill in F1/2.

I'm still wondering if it's better fast shot or aimed shot.


For the ending part of the game I'm waiting the Sniper skill, I hope is devastating like it was in F1/2. I killed the end bos in F2 whitout taking more the 20% of damage (all alone) on Hard/Hard level (comabt/game)

Sneak is an excelent skill, cuz you can wonder around the level and get an idea of what is happening, and if you find a bad ass motherfucker you sneak behind him and toast it whit your machine gun.

Good but not perfect in my opinion

Personally i think that Agility is a must 10, coz you get the AP's and move faster. I would lower the endurance since you don't want to get hit too much either and there are a lot of stims in the game.
And i'd prefer luck 5 and int 9 or 4/10 'cause when you're gifted you get less 'skillpoint's but int 9 or 10 gives you enough of 'em in each level.

Skills are the same as i would take so nothing there.

If you don't want to aim those traits are good, but i usually take Kamikaze and Gifted, coz as i said earlyer...you don't want to get hit too much.

Perks are ok, i usually take awareness cause i like to see the exact hitpoints (in later game when they have lot of them the 'wounded' 'seriously wounded' 'almost dead' won't just do it.
Bonus rate of fire is a must. Also bonus ranged damage is good but it requires luck of 6. And there ain't never too much of AP so one or two action boys won't do any harm. Nigh vision is good if you wan't to play at night, i usually don't Sharpshooter is a must, atleast for me. And i prefer tunnel rat not Silen't running cause you can sneak better but still go quite fast.

Rest it up to you. But as i said these are all "in my opinion".
