I have decided to start all over again. So since I have seem to forgotten alot of stuff, help me make a new character. I don't know what the new patches entail, so I am not sure if energy or was it balistic weapons are better now.

I have deleted all my old saves so I don't remember now what my old character was. All I rememeber was having high strength, since 8 or 9, and then getting something at the end to max it out at 10. So without any spoilers, how many time can I boost up my strength? Is it once or twice? I love to carry as much stuff I can so that is the only reason why I have high strength. I have 1 in Perception, just because I hate seeing the red blips on the bottom and thinking if they are close when in fact they are far away or vice versa, so I choose low Per so I know if I see a red blip it's close by.

I can't remember what my Int and Charasima was, but I am sure they were low so I can make the other ones higher. I loved my older character, I had lots of fun with it. But since I forgot, I am wundering if anything new with the patches and or DLC perks or what not, I should maybe have higher Char or Int and why without spoiling it if possible. I really enjoyed using guns and Close Combat weapons, never did much melee though. I remember I loved to craft, but I never did it much. I plan on trying to do it more this time, and take my time instead of rushing through things.

So any help or tips in creating a new character would be appreciated.

You can use Intense Training every 2 levels to increase a stat by 1 point, you can also get implants once for every stat. (The number of implants is dependent on your Endurance stat.)
I think 6 should be enough STR, if you want to wield weapons with 8STR requirement then just get that perk later on which lowers all weapons STR reqs by 2 points.
If you have Dead Money and Honest Hearts then your INT really doesn't matter much, 4 is enough for Educated though.

You can boost your STR at least 11 times (no one would though) because you can take the STR Implant and Intense Training Perk 10 times. INT, I advise to be high so you can have more skill points, but it fine if you want it to be low. CHA effects companion nerve, aka, companions' damage, and DR and effectiveness in combat.

Only in VATS.

"Perception's in-game description states that Perception affects shooting accuracy, however this is only in V.A.T.S"

on the last implant youll be able to use get the endurance implant and you should be able to get another 2.each 1 point of endurance allows 2 implants.
