Seeing how its suggested that the courier is/was a cowboy, I though it would be fun to try to make a build around that theme. Cannibalism is just there to add flavor well that and its an amazing perk for hardcoe. So besides Cannibalism and Cowboy what other perks , what traits, and what speical would fit a cowboy. For weapons I was thinking trail carbine, hunting revolver/.44 magnum, and combat knife. For outfit I have no idea.

Fast Draw and Fast Reload would be helpful for the guns you will use.

Make sure the get the Sherrif's Duster and Hat from Primm before you do much for, or to, the town.

Yeah Fast Draw and reload is a must, for a cowboy in case of a duel. The outfit idea makes sense, but I woulden't be able to take a lot of hits. I was thinking of going independent for the character and having Rose, as a companion.

Get McCaffrey's Duster (he's the jerk wad enforcer at the Atomic Wrangler who eventually makes his way to a spot just outside of Gomorah), it's even better than the Sheriff's Duster since it also has DT (6, I think).

Also, grab a Desperado Hat. They're the best looking cowboy hats in the game, in my opinion.

Get the Medicine Stick if you have GRA.

Get Chance's Knife.

Get Lucky from the Bison Steve (I think you need a Lockpick skill of 75).

Rose is a good companion. Once you have completed her quest line (and killed the Van Graffs and the head lady at the Crimson Caravon) she becomes pretty sick with a shotgun (Give her a Riot Shotgun!).

I would also consider Raul as a companion. He is a gunslinger after all, and a good one at that. Depending on how you complete his story line, he could be walking around with you, looking just like an old fashioned Mexican pistolero, sombrero and all.

Sounds like a good idea for equipment, thanks. Almost forgot about good ole Raul.
