What I'm looking forward to most on my first character is doing how I've been playing the first 2 games recently, and that is by not making a character who will have the highest stats, most effective fighting skills, will fight 15 deathclaws terrorising a settlement for no reward just because his a good person like that, but rather a character who is based on me. With as close to as possible SPECIAL equivalents, making decisions that I would more likely choose morally e.g in Shady Sands in Fallout 1, when asked to help kill the radscorpions I stopped and thought "Would I fight a gigantic scorpion for no reward, or would I want some sort of reward for my efforts?" I choose the later and asked for a reward for my help, because in real life that's how I would act. In real life I would much prefer to have a rifle and snipe my enemies from a distance than charge in with any kind of melee weapon, no matter how skilled I may be.
That's how I plan to play my firt runthrough, a falloutised version of me, but how do you plan to play? Do something similar? Mess around? Become the most overpowed wastelander in Boston?
Who do you plan to play as?
