I won't, I'll have a mindset and a direction I want the character to morally go but in terms of no fast travel, deep immersion Roleplaying, that will probably be the 2nd/3rd playthrough.

Good-karma [censored]. I'll be the hero the Wasteland needs... but not the hero they want. For my stats, I'll be going full tanky utilitarian. Max out EN and take Solar Powered as my first perk, and focus enough IN to craft the best Energy Weapons. If most of those EN perks have multiple ranks, I'm going to be freaking unstoppable.

It won't be my first character, but I have every intention of playing a Don Quixote character. A knight-errant that thinks the wasteland is idyllic medieval fantasy! (if I can, I'd love to make Wasteland Don Quixote as a companion mod)

Bethesda's modus operandi seems to be a character system that lets any character work well, as opposed to letting us accidentally pick dump stats and svck through 99% of the game.

I will check out all the perks first to make sure they are worth it, but I'm going 10 intelligence from the start. I definitely want to play the role of a genius scientist. Hopefully, I will be able to hack a robot of some kind and use that as a companion and/or a settlement protector.

First character is going to be this cold and calculating http://www.rpg-gaming.com/fo4.html?n=Mad%20Scientist&a=1432a53. He won't be an evil character, but the decisions he makes will be focused on helping out the majority even it might be cruel and uncaring for a small few. He will focus on progress instead of kindness.

The second playthrough will be more of a http://www.rpg-gaming.com/fo4.html?n=Kindhearted%20Leader&a=3636325, anti-establishment, and community oriented.

I realized after playing New Vegas and Skyrim that I really don't have as much fun with one dimensional combat oriented characters.

Hopefully a shotgun toting lab rat similiar in playstyle to 3. Definitely someone who will run their own town too now.

Assassin!

My first character will likely be a test character. 4's in everything and just play it as written and see where the story and random experiences pull me. Later runs will be more focused while I test builds and play around with the settlement side games.

My first character is going to be a test platform to help me get used to understanding the leveling system, and how the overall mechanics of the game work. My second character will be more focused on a specific build.

Name: Edwin House

An illegitimate son of the Robco founder. Estranged from his father, he became a medic in the army. Tired of seeing the carnage of war, he settled in Boston with family, taking some classes at MIT in the hope of inventing things that had a chance of improving the world, not that it would do much good. He exits the vault horrified, but with the hope that things can be improved into a world better than the one he left behind through the power of SCIENCE!

Basically, a goody two-shoes genius with a focus on medicine and science. If he needs to use guns-energy weapons.

As I do in any game I play.

A Holier than though moralistic person who rights all the wrongs!

I am still going to attempt to build what I think Booji Boy (Of DeVo notoriety) would play like.

Basically, a freaky devolved yoda-esque nerd with punk rock undertones.

what roleplay the voiced protagonist killed any sense of roleplay unliss you want to rleplay the all american educated white christian true patriot type and the rubbeerband scalling is probably going to make this game so linear that it becomes stupid

Seems I have to be an American, which is hardly surprising. Other than that, no.

Oh yeah, because the level scaling in Skyrim made it linear and Mass Effect is a universally panned RPG.

I will choose Nora and roleplay (more or less) as Jack from Mass Effect

it is not that i have to play a ' american' it is fall out after all it is the fact that tour freedom to create acharacter what eve type you want and to play it however you want has baicly been reduced to one type

try to imagine a afro american hipster type with the coice of our protagonist ; or a first or second generation italian / american or somebody from a hispanic background

or try the silent brooding type hero or the nervous dude who can y keep his mouth or any other type of character

no way i want to stereotype anybody just a example

and if this rubber banding scaling system is a copy of what we ve seen in the witcher 3 i am really worried because despite what they said about the witcher being a open world it isn t the scalling system makes sure that the game is as linear as possible and practicly kills any form of eexploration

one thing i hated the most in NV was the incisible walls and how the game forced you to go thru the primm nipton novac bouldercity route making the first 12 levels linear and boring after and repetitive your second playthru

I'm just gonna be totally lost and look at things. I do that with every Bethesda game on the first run through.

Ooh you just gave me a Morrowind flashback! I remember wandering around the Ashlands for hours looking for this one cave and when I finally found it I was so happy lol

That happened to me looking for that wrecked ship in the top left hand corner of the map. I was like "there it iis!!!!!!"

If playing with a different accent is important to you, then I won't argue. It's a shame if it takes anything away from the game for you. I don't want to derail this thread.

But I don't plan on being patriotic, Christian or "all-american". (I'll probably be educated because that's what I'd do anyway). That's all I mean.

Saints Row 2 had voice over and it turned out ok.

Probably me, just to see how the game is. Then I can roleplay safely without worrying about messing up things.

It's between the brooding silent stealthy sniper or sarcastic joker stealthy melee/unarmed

Well, the character has to be a veteran, so I'll be playing the part of an ex army doctor. He'll have a high charisma and intelligence, but he won't start off as an especially capable fighter, and his idealistic lawful good alignment will probably be a bit of a stumbling block for him in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

How would he react to an Android?

Not sure...Depends of the type I suppose.The type that makes origami or the type that tries to poke his eyes out.
