Ok, I finally retired my character that I have been playing with for 3 months. For the most part he was anti-NCR/Legion/House, being hostile to them and then later on decided to help NCR because a city run by soul-less machines didn't fit his Mormon outlook. Moving on to a new character with new mods, namely electro city + new vegas bounties 1+2 + New Vegas Strip Overhaul in combination with what I have been already using (IWS+AWOP).

So, I'm thinking a Stealth character: Tag Skills: Guns, Melee, Sneaking ........... Secondary Skills: Barter, Survival, Repair, Explosives

Name: Thomas Ruben
Origin: Originally from non-controlled Legion area somewhere in Arizona, that's all he remembers.
Age: 28
Male

Personality: Likes gambling and loves the Vegas lifestyle.

Primary Weapons: Maria, Fully Modded .45 Automatic pistol, 12.7mm pistol, Chance's Knife (never used it before), Poisoned Tomahawks***.

Secondary Weapons: Assault Carbine, grenades-C4-mines, Silenced 12.7mm machinegun.

Gear: Clothing. Pre-release gambler suit that the roulette dealer is wearing, a hat and authority glasses.

SPECIAL after surgery: Not sure, but I've never had a character with a high charisma before, so I'm thinking charisma of 8 and then raise it by 2 with alcohol when I'm around people.

i'm gonna side with House. So, any suggestions ?

I'm not sure. Your weapon choices are a bit abstract for a stealth character (though I do not know anything about the mods you mentioned), except for the Chance's Knife and Tomahawks, which I can see working well. I would also have the CHR at 6, because each point of CHR adds 2 points to the respective skills, but not much else. The "nerve" it affects is negligible (in my Easy, Core playthroughs ) and it would be a waste of SPECIAL. I say that you should add one of the leftover points from the 8 CHR to PER (so you can see your targets coming) and the other to AGL (for the extra AP).

It seems like you are roleplaying in this one, I am personally trying to make my next character look like Charlton Heston. I suggest that you trick Caesar into thinking that you are allies, which would work with your character being of Arizonian descent. The reason why is that there is a repeatable quest known as "Caesar's Will" which gives you tons of Stealth Boys, as well as ammo, Stims, Doctor's Bags, armor, and money.


Hope this helps.

Well if he likes gambling then get the weapon Lucky!

Even if you don't like gambling, you should get it. My favorite gun in the game. :fallout:

I don't like playing with companions, but I've never had a high charisma before, it might just be a waste. I really want my agility and perception maxed out as much as possible and a high luck too. I can sacrifice strength, endurance, intelligence.

I love Lucky, but it's not worth raising my lockpick to 59 + mentats + cowboy tobacco chew + locksmith reader to get it......

Yeah so mainly small arms character, I figure my character will be 90% time using pistols, tomahawks, and chance's knife. The Professional perk should come in very handy. I always play very hard, but I've never done an entire character who wears only clothing so I think this will be very challenging for me and I have to be careful about my tactics.

I like the set up and the character sounds interesting. Before i started another FO3 character, I was playing around with poisons and blades. Just dabbling with throwing weapons. I'll be watching your progress with this guy, if you post on him. I try to play / start with different char types, but always give into the temptation of the sniper. Good luck, my friend.

Tomahawks with bleak poison is now my favorite melee weapon. ++++Ninja+++Cowboy+++perks

Thanks for the compliments on my character, he is loosely based on the character Sailer from the David Lynch movie Wild at Heart.
