I agree with high Luck.I wouldn't make a char with high perception, he'll probably have companions to rely on and there are other ways to increase it, see below.
On my pacifist (neutral) char I maxed luck and charisma to 10, all of the others got 4. Then I increased endurance (I think three times) via Intense training.I had low science because I didn't see a necessity that a pacifist char must also be a scientific one.I used four eyes as a trait, which decreases my perception at the beginning, but significantly increased it later, when I got +2 via glasses, +1 because of the trait and additional +1 of different head gear.Think about it.
I tagged Barter, Speech and I think guns, but this was mostly for self-defense, I refrained from using weapons when possible, but sometimes it was impossible like being attacked by Geckos near Primm, bunch of little monsters is what they are.
P.S.
ED-E and Boone were my companions. However, because I played Dead is dead, my story finished in Boomers generator when I hit one of those rockets by accident and was sent to death flying in the air.
P.P.S.
Also think about Wasteland wanderer outfit for the beginning, it gives the boost to END and AGL.
