I just started this game last night. I've only just gotten out of the tutorial and went into some schoolhouse and cleared it of random bad guys.

This game is definitely going to take some getting used to. It's definitely a change of pace from Skyrim. I do have one concern though.

Can you really mess your character up? I focused on Strength, Endurance, and Agility for the SPECIAL points and then I went explosives, guns (regular guns that shoot bullets, can't remember the category), and Medicine.

Those just seemed the most interesting to me. I am hoping it isn't possible to screw your character up by allocating points into the wrong categories.

Also, I assume combat gets a little more exciting when you get new weapons? Shooting people with a pistol 5-6 times or hitting them with a baseball bat isn't all that much fun.
